THE BUZZ REALITY BITES, PART II: It’s been a rough couple of weeks since Caitlyn Jenner made the official move from reality TV star to gubernatorial candidates. And, it’s brutal out there especially for a newcomer TV star who wants to jump into the piranha pond of CA politics. Because it means constantly confronting one thing that doesn’t exist in reality TV: fact-checking.

He offered full-throated support to the former president and drew a pair of high-profile California Republicans whose very political survival may depend on their ability to appeal across the aisle.
News and notes on the San Francisco 49ers
Happy Sunday one and all.
We are heading into the dead of the offseason, which means less to talk about and more to speculate about.

Now that the excitement from the 2021 NFL Draft has begun to subside, the focus shifts to the available free agents.
The San Francisco 49ers did some maneuvering during the offseason and restructured a few deals to maximize their cap space going into the 2022 season. The team still needs to sign the eight rookies chosen at the draft to contracts, but as of now, they have just north of $18 million in cap space, per Over the Cap.
One area where the Niners could use some depth is in the secondary. The team re-signed veterans Emmanuel Moseley, Jaquiski Tartt, K’Waun Williams and Jason Verrett to short-term deals but lost Ahkello Witherspoon to the Seattle Seahawks in free agency.
