Video shows alleged car thief dangle under bridge after wild chase, sparking tense standoff with police
A wild police chase through San Francisco took a jaw-dropping turn when a suspected car thief ditched his vehicle on the Bay Bridge and climbed underneath the span, at times dangling from crossbeams high above the water in a desperate attempt to avoid arrest.
The April 1 incident began after the San Francisco Police Department received a report of a stolen vehicle near 8th and Market streets. Officers quickly confirmed the car was stolen, and a police drone located it within minutes.
When officers attempted to pull the driver over, he refused to stop — triggering a pursuit through city streets and onto the freeway.
Authorities deployed spike strips, but the suspect maneuvered around them and kept going, leading police on a chase that lasted nearly 30 minutes before heading onto the Bay Bridge. California Highway Patrol units then took over as the pursuit moved onto the span.
SUSPECT ACCUSED OF HURLING CHAINSAW AT DEPUTIES DURING CHAOTIC STOLEN CAR CHASE CAUGHT ON VIDEO
The suspect eventually stopped near Treasure Island, but instead of surrendering, he got out and climbed over the edge of the bridge.
“He’s on the crossbeams, under the bridge,” an officer could be heard saying on body camera video, as a drone tracked the suspect below.
Video shows the man straddling narrow beams under the bridge, suspended above the water and at one point, even dangling from the structure as he moved along the span.
Officers noted he appeared to be heading eastbound toward one of the bridge towers while clinging to the beams.
Multiple agencies rushed to the scene, including marine units, a fire boat, a CHP helicopter and additional drones, all working to keep sight of the suspect. Crews began preparing for a possible rescue operation as the suspect continued moving beneath the bridge.
Crisis Intervention and hostage negotiation teams were also called in, working to communicate with the suspect as he briefly hid inside a hollow support beam.
After several tense minutes, the suspect climbed back onto the roadway and was taken into custody without incident.
SFPD Officer Robert Rueca told KTVU that the suspect ultimately gave himself up and credited drone technology with helping officers track him safely throughout the ordeal.
“The voters of San Francisco have allowed us to use this technology to make the streets as safe as we can,” Rueca told the outlet.
Police have not released the suspect’s identity.

Jerry Seinfeld rips electric cars as ‘stupid virtue signal,’ has zero interest
Jerry Seinfeld isn’t interested in driving electric.
The comedian, famous for his classic car collection, claimed recently that driving an electric car is more of a “virtue signal” than anything else.
“I’m not interested in electric cars at all,” he told AirMail in an interview published Saturday. “Anybody else wants to do it, that’s fine. I think it’s a big, stupid virtue signal. ‘Look at me. I’m saving the planet, yeah.’ What about the lithium? It’s all BS.”
The manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles have an impact on the environment, but EV users argue that’s negated over time if the car is driven long enough.
JON STEWART SLAMS ELON MUSK’S ‘BULL—-‘ REASON FOR NOT DOING INTERVIEW
The stand-up comedian joked after he was asked about self-driving cars, that he always tells his kids: “that their kids will say to them, ‘You mean, when you grew up, they would let people just drive at any speed and steer the car themselves? Didn’t they just crash and kill themselves constantly?’ Yeah.”
The 72-year-old is known for collecting rare Porsches, and he’s not sure how many he has right now.
“I always say it’s an amount that if you looked at it, you would not say, ‘This makes sense.’”
JERRY SEINFELD REVEALS HOW ‘CLEAN’ COMEDY FORCES HIM TO BE A BE A MORE ‘ELEGANT,’ FUNNIER, WRITER
Seinfeld’s first Porsche was a 1958 356 Speedster, which he said he bought after his paycheck for the first four episodes of “Seinfeld” and used as his daily car for years.
“I didn’t really know anything about older Porsches, but I just thought, Well, this car has nice lines,” he admitted. “I also thought, I’m sure you could never drive a car like this on the street; it must be ridiculous. And I ended up using it as my daily driver in L.A. for years on end.”
JERRY SEINFELD SLAMS ‘FREE PALESTINE’ MOVEMENT, COMPARING IT TO HISTORICAL HATE GROUP
Seinfeld also isn’t a big fan of modern car design in general.
Last December, he told “Spike’s Car Radio” “Why is it so hard for these companies to understand what’s cool culturally?

He mused that “what’s missing is confidence.”
“There’s nothing sadder when you when you see older BMWs from the early 2000s or the ‘70s and ‘80s and you see that confidence, and now they’re just screaming at you with that horrible absurd cartoonish ideas of design that just like, just no design at all but Paganis and things of that nature.”

He said the designers think they’re being “exotic and dramatic and they’re embarrassing. Is there anything cool anymore?”
In an interview with Keith Hernandez for the SNY network six years ago, after the baseball great reminded him how much he loves his electric car and asked what he thinks of them, Seinfeld replied unenthusiastically: “Uh, it’s fine.”
The former athlete had been asking Seinfeld whether he thought each topic he brought up was “something or nothing” as a reference to “Seinfeld,” and the word “nothing” was captioned in the video after his response.
“I’ll race you,” Hernandez said, laughing. “I know they’re fast,” Seinfeld answered.

The Marshall Manning hype train is already hitting the timeline
Sometime last summer, I implored you to watch out for, nay, I warned you about the hype train that was approaching regarding a certain Manning offspring.
And the crazy thing is, I wasn’t referring to Texas Longhorns quarterback, Arch Manning, either.
The Manning I was writing about was none other than Marshall, whose dad you may or may not have heard of.
A guy by the name of Peyton. Does he ring any bells?
That’s right, folks! Peyton Manning, the five-time NFL MVP and two-time Super Bowl winner, had a son, and that son is now 15-years-old and throwing a football about as well as a teenager can.
I mean, are you surprised? His dad is Peyton Freaking Manning.
And, predictably, the hype surrounding Marshall is starting to reach a fever pitch before the kid has even gotten his driver’s license.
ARCH MANNING HYPE BEGINS AS EARLY MOCK DRAFTS GET RELEASED BEFORE 2025 SEASON
You can’t go five posts on X these last few days without seeing fans lauding the young signal caller for his arm talent.
No. Stop. I can’t do this again.
Not THIS soon after the Arch Manning hype train got done rolling into town.
It feels like just yesterday my Twitter timeline was bombarded by videos of Arch throwing against future engineering majors at Isidore Newman High School.
The fact that I have to endure this for the next three and a half years on social media almost makes me want to quit my job, move to Montana and go off the grid for a half decade.
In fairness, the kid does look really good spinning it out there.
He literally looks like the spitting image of his father, throw mechanics and all.
I can’t get my hopes up as a Gator fan though, because the psychological torment Florida put his dad through while at Tennessee probably means he will never end up in Gainesville.
Peyton was probably telling Marshall he won’t be a Florida Gator while he was still in the womb, for Christ’s sake.
That also means his recruiting journey will be one that we have to endure for the next few years as well.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
“The Marshall Manning Sweepstakes” will dominate the news feed as his cousin Arch did before him.
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, thank GOD Eli went and had four daughters, because I am praying this is the last time a young Manning has to go through the recruiting process.
Then again, when Arch and Marshall end up having kids of their own, this cycle will just start all over again.
Oh, God. I need to lie down. Time is a flat circle.

Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr clarifies he was not wearing AirPods in the field amid viral photos
New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. became a talking point on the internet because fans thought he was wearing an AirPod in the field.
Chisholm, 28, clarified that it was actually a piece of cotton in his ear canal because of an earache. In the Yankees’ win over the Texas Rangers on Monday, Chisholm took a grounder to the head. When he tried to field a ground ball, it kicked off his glove and clocked him in the head.
“It gave me an earache for like three or four days,” Chisholm told The Athletic.

Chisholm said he could barely hear out of his right ear and wore actual AirPods in the clubhouse to block out the noise. He used the noise-cancellation mode, trying to keep things as quiet as possible.
“Right now,” he said, “I’m feeling better. … My right ear was ringing for like three days.”
Chisholm has not missed any time and said he didn’t think it affected him. As the conversation continued to rage on about the cotton in his ear, he took to his Instagram Story to show it wasn’t an AirPod.

“All y’all just ain’t the smartest,” Chisholm captioned his picture with a shrug and laughing emoji.
He said the conversation around the cotton in his ear was “not smart.”
“I think that’s not smart at all,” Chisholm said. “I think no umpire would let it go through. No coach would let that happen. You know what I mean? I just feel like … and you would have seen a phone in my back pocket or something. I mean, AirPods don’t reach that far. So for me, it’s just like, I just didn’t think it was a smart thing. I feel like everything I do is on the media. I don’t mind it.
“If you guys love me that much, s—. I don’t mind it. I have no problem with it.”
Chisholm is off to a slow start this season but has started to pick it up lately. He has a .205 batting average with three home runs, 10 RBI and nine stolen bases.
