Federal regulators launch deeper review of Amtrak’s $900M Bridgeport project

The Federal Railroad Administration announced that they will be investigating Amtrak's proposed $900 million redevelopment play in Bridgeport that could send the White Sox packing. The FRA committed to a formal environmental assessment of the rail operator's plans and are set to complete the study by the end of the year, according to Crain's. The controversy has come from what appears to be a trade for the Bridgeport neighborhood: the White Sox for a maintenance facility. For Bridgeport residents, the federal exemption and Ishbia's option to purchase the team in the near future made it feel inevitable. Amtrak and Ishbia's venture set up for The Railyards, Canal Edge, put out a joint statement on the updated investigation, saying that they think a larger environmental appraisal of the site is an appropriate next step.

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.

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.…
