Trey Lance gives the 49ers the best Super Bowl shot, JT O’Sullivan believes

The Trey Lance era didn’t get off to a good start after the 49ers lost 19-10 in Week 1 to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

Although the 22-year-old didn’t put in the most convincing performance due to the rainy weather, he still received praise for playing in less than ideal conditions.

Additionally, former 49ers quarterback JT O’Sullivan believes Lance gives San Francisco the best shot at winning a Super Bowl despite Jimmy Garoppolo being on the team as a backup quarterback.

“Which quarterback gives you the best chance of winning a championship? For me, that’s Trey Lance,” O’Sullivan said during his appearance on Friday’s Last Second Sports YouTube channel. “We saw what Jimmy Garoppolo can do and he’s a good quarterback who wins a lot.

“But does he have the ability to create in those moments? Does he have the ability to extend the field to that point? And you link that to some health concerns. The answer for me is no. They identified Trey Lance as the guy you wanted to get.”

O’Sullivan went on to say the 49ers invested heavily in Lance after picking the No. 3 overall North Dakota State star in the 2021 NFL Draft. San Francisco gave the Miami Dolphins first-round picks in the 2022 and 2023 NFL drafts and a third-round pick in 2022.

As a result, O’Sullivan believes the franchise should stick with Lance rather than return to Garoppolo. The former 49ers quarterback points out that Lance brings other skills to the field that Garoppolo doesn’t have.

“They invested all this design capital. I think he gives and the splashes I’ve seen a few splashes in the few starts he faces me I think he offers that. And I think he gives you the best chance of winning a championship this year and beyond.

“Well, will it work? Who the hell knows? But winning most games isn’t necessarily important to me. I want them to play their best ball after Thanksgiving when he makes his move and then gets a chance going into the playoffs and making a deep, really important run because he’s able to create plays that Jimmy Garoppolo might not be able to.

War in Ukraine 48 South Korean FA 50 fighter jets ordered: Poland continues arms race

Poland this Friday signed a deal with South Korea to buy 48 FA-50 fighters, another purchase to strengthen its defense apparatus in the context of the new security situation created by the Ukraine conflict.

This deal is part of the PLN 65 billion (EUR 13.77 billion) cooperation agreement signed by the two countries in early 2022.

Deputy Prime Minister @mblaszczak approved the framework agreement with the Republic of Korea \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf7 for the purchase of 48 FA-50 fighters for the Polish Armed Forces \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf1. With contracts for K2 tanks and K9 howitzers, it is one of the largest and most important purchases in recent years. pic.twitter.com/TOJtQuhYIL

— Poland MOD \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf1 (@Poland_MOD) 09/16/2022

That FA-50 will replace the Polish MiG-29, whose technology dates back to the Soviet era. The first 12 FA-50s will be delivered to the Polish military next year, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said.

“It will be a generational leap. The FA-50s are of the same generation as the F-16s, which will significantly strengthen the Polish Air Force,” Mariusz Blaszczak told a press conference.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine In February, Poland supplied Kyiv with arms and ammunition and began buying new equipment to modernize its armed forces and replace equipment handed over to Ukraine.

The country has decided to increase its defense budget from 2% to 3% of GDP from 2023 and aims for 5% in the long term.

X Factor, Linda moves with the cover of Coraline by Maneskin, Damiano’s reaction I Video

She was greeted with a long and heartfelt standing ovation and four inevitable “yes” from the judges at the end of her performance coral, during the first episode of the new edition of X Factor. But the biggest surprise for Linda Riverditi19, came with a message from the song’s author, Damian David, the Maneskin frontman, who wrote on Twitter: “Linda you may not know but you have given me a huge gift. You made this piece even truer, thank you. I hope you receive this message ». But not only. Likewise Giorgia SoleriShe, influencer and poet and inspirational muse of the song, commented on the performance of the 19-year-old from Alba: “Thanks Linda, it’s shaking everywhere”. After the performance, Linda passed with flying colors from all judges. Rkomi commented, “You got me aroused, I’m curious to hear all the things you keep to yourself.” Veteran Fedez commented, “I think you showed the difference between unconsciousness and artistic awareness. Making a song of the band with the currently strongest frontman your own means that you are not only good, but also have an artistic maturity”.

Even Dargen D’Amico was impressed by the young woman’s performance: “That’s how you do it, you take material written by other people, you pass it on, pass on your experience and make it a song at the highest level of the Originals, but a different song. You seemed immature when you attacked, then I realized it was just the taste of the poison you were throwing out”. Likewise Rkomi he complimented Linda: “You got me aroused, I’m curious to hear all the things you keep to yourself.” Finally, praise came from Ambra Angiolini: «Linda, there is very little to say, we heard everything you said to us, but above all what you didn’t tell us. Lucky for you, you’re not afraid to listen, so carry on, it’s been an amazing journey. Really.” One of the key passages that moved viewers and judges alike is this: “But you know the truth, it’s not for everyone to move forward, with a heart divided in half it’s already cold, she’s a Child, but she feels like a burden. , and sooner or later it will break, people will say, “It’s worth nothing”, they can’t even get out of a miserable door, but one day, one day, she will to make it “.

Dargen D’Amico hides the surprise for the cover of his “Ama noi”

But on the first evening there was also a surprise for Dargen D’Amico. Yes, because when Jacopo D’Amico was hailed as showman by all the viewers at the end of the first episode, the show’s loose cannon was, as happened at the last Sanremo Festival, with his call for “serious dissenting voices”. “cialtronate” in political style, alluding to the re-election of President Mattarella at the Quirinale, got a strange surprise. Because Dargen D’Amico is not only the author of the 2022 hit Dove si balla, by Bocciofili (with Fedez and Mistico) and the author and producer of countless songs that have topped the Italian charts over the years. In her long career, which began in the Holy Schools of Milan, she has released several albums, including Variations, made in collaboration with the pianist Isabella Urso. And during X Factor prime time, Alessandro Baroni he played on the sheet music of a piece included in Variations: Ama noi.

A 2017 passage in which a “prophet” Jacopo D’Amico, among others, asked himself: “Who knows what epidemic there will be when I’m in my forties, and who knows what beautiful corner of the world I’ll go to.” come do my quarantine”. And for the uninitiated, it happened that Dargen D’Amico turned 40 during the coronavirus pandemic. He didn’t even imagine it. Nor could he have imagined that he would be a judge on a talent show, much less that someone would perform one of his songs, partly linked to Ma noi, included on his latest album In dreams no man is monogamous instead . And despite the inevitable glasses that separate Jacopo D’Amico from Dargen D’Amico on stage, something shook him in the most positive sense of the word, even as he tried to disguise himself.

Speaking of Alessandro Baroni’s performance, Dargen said in his own way: “I never imagined being a judge on the X Factor, just like I never imagined seeing that song performed by anyone else. I seemed to see the song I wrote grow into something else. The moment you put down the pen and wrote the song, life depends on who hears it, who connects the sensations we go through, that are commonplace in our lives. At first I thought it was going to sound like a but…disorder (the term is also in the song, ed.), but it was a nice consensual relationship. I agree very well ». And here we are at one of the many crucial passages: “Behind every darkness there is a ray, and there they love, laugh when they say that you are in danger, when there are those who worship the blood of the scene, the real one.” Blood doesn’t stain and it’s them they love”. And yes, that’s also part of “becoming part of the sky, landing in the wind that sows,” in the words of Dargen. “Fly high, word, grow into the depths,” wrote the poet Mario Luzi. That’s how it was.

And the Chilean left got drunk

Rejection supporters in Santiago, Chile, on September 4th.Rejection supporters in Santiago, Chile, on September 4th. MARTIN BERNETTI (AFP)

The rejection’s overwhelming victory in the Sept. 4 constitutional vote has put President Gabriel Boric and the groups supporting the new text in a position to seek dialogue and moderation. That is exactly what the left did in the 1990s.

The geographer Jared Diamond has a brief but very valuable analysis of the arbitration process that took place in Chile after the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). He reflected on it in his book Crisis: How Countries Respond at Crucial Moments (2019). According to Diamond, the left of the time had to abandon the intransigence of the past and learn to tolerate and negotiate in order to reach agreements with other political forces and thus be able to heal the historical wounds and start rebuilding the country. This is how the Concertación, the coalition that ruled the country until 2010, came into being. What happened in this period of Chilean history can serve as a reference for the success of the new constituent process.

The conciliatory rhetoric and recent changes in Boric’s cabinet are signs that the Chilean president understands his situation. It’s not clear if the same can be said of the other sectors that have been driving the change.

Conventional lawmakers — democratically elected MPs to write the new constitution that was adopted in a referendum — strove to craft an environmentally conscious, feminist, and indigenous text that would serve as a basis for dealing with the South American country’s vast inequality. You were empowered to know that 78% of citizens were inclined to convene a Constituent Assembly in 2020 Chile. The left-wing groups thought that the majority of people agreed with their positions, but in the end only 38% of the population voted in favor.

Aurenque and other experts agree that the outcome of the referendum cannot be attributed to one cause alone. The Boric government’s low approval rating (around 37% in August) and inappropriate behavior by some conventionalists definitely affected the outcome. But the content of the text itself was one of the most important catalysts. It contained controversial points such as declaring a “plurinational state” and establishing “indigenous courts,” raising fears it would end up in a country with two judicial systems. The recognition of the right to housing also triggered many discussions, which, according to the opposition, opened the door to expropriations.

For Eugenio Tironi, a doctor of sociology and communications director in the government of President Patricio Aylwin (1990-1994), “every call for moderation was nullified” in the Constituent Assembly. “Here we have come from a paper to a constitution without political, historical or ethnographic mediation,” explains the scientist from Santiago. Tironi claims that some of the scandalous points – like the decentralization of the state or the recognition of indigenous peoples – would have found greater acceptance if they had been taken with “more moderation”.

The sociologist also explains that it is necessary to understand the different historical moments in which the plebiscites took place. The process that led to the adoption of the Constituent Assembly grew out of the riots of 2019, the largest in Chile’s democratic history, which gave the university left legitimacy as a political actor. But between then and 2022 there was a pandemic and presidential elections (in which the extreme right of José Antonio Kast won in the first round); In addition, uncertainty intensified and the economy experienced a significant deterioration. The climate was different and the left was unaware of it.

“The conventionalists did not react sensitively to this shift in opinion and embraced the concerns they had brought to the congress,” explains Tironi, who describes this behavior as a sign of political inexperience.

The result of the referendum was a bucket of cold water for the left. Mandatory participation was requested for the first time, and the result revealed a “disconnection with the real Chile,” according to Ascanio Cavallo, a journalist, political analyst and member of the Chilean Language Academy, via video conference. While the country was going through a state of “semi-recession” and ordinary citizens’ concerns focused on the lack of jobs and the cost of living, Cavallo said the convention had other concerns, “very student, very upper class”. Therefore, the analysts are not surprised that the majority of votes against the constitution come from the poorest layers of Chilean society.

In the ranks of the left, the story has become popular that the rejection victory was the result of false news and fear campaigns from the right predicting Chile’s transformation into a different Venezuela. For Cavallo, however, it’s time to admit defeat: “I think they have to explain something they don’t understand and still don’t understand.” When the numbers show such a stark difference, the fake news argument loses momentum.

The left failed in this first attempt to bury the 1980 constitution, that remnant of military dictatorship, but its struggle is not over. The President has confirmed the start of a second process as the people’s mandate to draft a new text is still in force. Perhaps the Left should take the path of moderation, approaching citizens’ concerns and not repeating mistakes.

“Chile don’t need a winger and Boric needs to be president of this medium. It is difficult to do this when you have criticized previous governments for doing so,” explains the philosopher Aurenque. Boric is no longer a student leader, he is now president and has to deal with the realities of politics. The replacement of key figures in his cabinet – giving way to traditional concertación politics – and the first moves towards the center are signs of change, but convincing the opposition will not be easy. “In Chile, I see very little generosity from side to side. As citizens, we must demand more of this political greatness. Do real politics and not just opportunistic attacks,” says the thinker.

As Boric began searching for that “middle ground,” student movements started new protests and took over subway stations in Santiago. A few years ago, Boric was one of these students: he demonstrated on the streets and demanded a better country. Now, as President, he must rule for both them and the 62% who voted against the Constitution. With a broken country, it is bound to aim high and strive to build “a Chile for all Chileans,” as Patricio Aylwin said in 1990.
