(KRON) -- In-N-Out is considered the premiere burger chain on the West Coast. There are dozens of locations across the Bay Area where many San Francisco 49ers reside. Ever wonder what starting quarterback Brock Purdy orders at the popular California-based burger chain?Purdy orders a Triple-Triple (also known as 3x3) with fries and a chocolate milkshake, the signal-caller said during a Q&A segment posted on the 49ers' YouTube channel. However, Purdy gets his burgers plain with just meat and cheese."I know it sounds boring," Purdy said of his burger order. How many of these In-N-Out secret menu items do you know? Before being drafted by the 49ers, Purdy played four years of college football at Iowa State in a state that does not have an In-N-Out. However, Purdy grew up in Arizona where there are a number of locations across the state. Purdy is currently on his four-year, $3.7 million rookie deal, making an average of about $870,000 per year.

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday at the age of 100 — though if the predecessors of Israel’s ruling Likud party had their way, he may not have made it even halfway to the century mark.Despite his reputation as a geopolitical kingmaker, Kissinger was never able to fully impose total U.S. authority upon Israel, but he did seek to leverage U.S. influence — sometimes against what the right-wing Likud party viewed as its interests.In the 1970s, Kissinger was so hated by the Likud party, which now controls Israel’s far-right coalition government, that some of its members tried to have him assassinated, according to a news report from the time.“A die-hard clique of Israeli right-wingers has put out a $150,000 ‘contract’ for the assassination of Secretary of State Kissinger,” the New York Daily News reported in 1977, citing senior State Department officials. When reports of a possible hit on Kissinger first came out, it was believed to be the work of Palestinian mi...Patriots sign K Matthew Wright to the practice squad as insurance after Ryland’s misses

TOKYO (AP) — The death of former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger drew both admiration and scorn Thursday from political leaders around the world, highlighting the complicated legacy of Kissinger’s views about what it meant to serve America’s interests during the Cold War — and how the country should exert its influence.Kissinger, who died Wednesday at 100, was one of America’s most powerful diplomats. During his years serving under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, he shaped the country’s foreign policy in ways that led to breakthroughs, including normalizing U.S.-China relations and advancing detente with the Soviet Union.But during Kissinger’s tenure the U.S. also overlooked the rise of brutal regimes in other countries, and critics argue his approach ran counter to democratic ideals and left lasting damage throughout the world.President Joe Biden, who was a U.S. senator when he first met Kissinger, said, “Throughout our careers, we often disagreed.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson remained in concussion protocol Thursday, making it even more likely Joe Flacco will start Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.The 38-year-old Flacco signed as a free agent with Cleveland last week as an insurance policy in case Thompson-Robinson struggled or got injured. The fifth-round pick suffered a concussion in the third quarter of last week’s loss in Denver.Flacco didn’t dress for that game and is still on the Browns practice squad. But with Thompson-Robinson not yet cleared, Flacco appears to be in line to become the fourth QB to start in 12 games for Cleveland this season.Flacco took the majority of reps with Cleveland’s starting offense for the second straight day in practice at UCLA. Thompson-Robinson hasn’t been ruled out yet.On Wednesday, coach Kevin Stefanski said Flacco had moved into the backup role ahead of P.J.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The World Series champion Texas Rangers will bring back their entire on-field coaching staff for manager Bruce Bochy next season. General manager Chris Young said Thursday he is excited to keep the entire group together after winning the franchise’s first World Series title in Bochy’s first season. It was the organization’s 63rd season overall and 52nd since moving to Texas.When Bochy was hired with a three-year contract last year, his Rangers staff included seven coaches who were already in the organization. The only newcomers other than Bochy were pitching coach Mike Maddux for his second stint in Texas and associate manager Will Venable. “I know Boch was very pleased with the staff that he inherited as he came in,” Young said. “A very talented staff. They did a tremendous job and they’ll all be back in their respective positions.”Third base coach Tony Beasley will return for his 10th season since first joining the Rangers in 2015 after Je...Israeli military confirms release of 8 more Israeli hostages from captivity in Gaza Strip
