Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco 49ers face difficult decision on Eddy Pineiro as kicking struggles threaten Super Bowl aspirations

Kyle Shanahan refused to rule out a potential kicking change after Eddy Pineiro's latest miss, leaving the 49ers with a major decision heading into their bye week. Could the San Francisco 49ers be getting a new kicker soon? I don't know if they will, but I'll tell you this much: they probably need one. Kicker Eddy Pineiro missed another extra point Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and the questions about his job are getting louder. After the game, a reporter asked 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan whether the team would try out any kickers this week. Shanahan didn't commit either way. "I don't know, I haven't talked to anybody about that, we'll probably discuss on the plane," Shanahan said. That isn't a vote of confidence. It isn't giving Pineiro a pass either, but it leaves the door wide open. Make no mistake about it, Shanahan is not afraid to release a kicker and go get a new one.…

Colts Could Make Entire Roster Available Ahead of Trade Deadline

The Indianapolis Colts could be approaching a significant turning point in their season. After firing general manager Chris Ballard, the franchise now faces a decision that could reshape its roster heading into 2027. With Indianapolis sitting at 2-4 and the NFL trade deadline approaching on Nov. 10, the next few weeks will determine whether the organization remains committed to trying to win with its current roster or begins getting ahead of the rebuild that's on the horizon. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the Colts have received strong trade interest in offensive guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. Pelissero also reported that no player is expected to be off-limits if Indianapolis decides to sell before the deadline. Despite the team's recent struggles, Indianapolis wants to see whether head coach Shane Steichen can get the season back on track before…

In a quiet Maryland election year, all eyes turn to Lower Shore district

In Maryland, not so much. Here in this mid-Atlantic land of Middle Temperament, there are no competitive statewide elections. Only one U.S. House race has garnered attention in recent days, but only because of Rep. Andy Harris’ (R-1st) combative behavior after a contentious public forum, but that’s unlikely to affect the outcome. The fate of the ballot measure impacting Democrats’ ability to gerrymander Harris into oblivion in a future election is uncertain. But there is no conceivable circumstance under which Democrats lose their 34-13 edge in the state Senate or their 102-39 advantage in the House of Delegates. Even with most contests a foregone conclusion, however, there are still a handful of races for state House and Senate seats this year that are considered competitive and merit attention. The hardest-fought House races are largely in subdistricts, with a smaller universe of…

Overturn: the denials small clinics stopped fighting

Every small clinic has a drawer of denied claims it has quietly given up on. Each one is real money, often a few thousand dollars. Each one also takes a billing person about twenty minutes to read the denial, decode the code, check the chart, and write an appeal. At a few hundred denials a month, most of them get written off, because the work costs more than the expected return. Overturn changes that arithmetic. It is an appeal agent that reads a denial notice, decodes it, estimates the chance of winning, compares three possible moves, drafts the letter, and checks the draft against the notice. The billing person sees a ranked queue, so the valuable denials come first. Who would pay for it: a clinic, or a billing service that works denials for several clinics. The question the app answers is "which of these denials is worth a staff member's time," and that question has a dollar answer.…
