Las Plumas (1-4) Esparto By JANIE McCAULEY Associated Press SANTA CLARA (AP) — He was adopted as a newborn, has a fully grown pet tortoise named Sammy, and sports 10 or 11 tattoos by his own count covering much of his upper body. Colin Kaepernick is finding out fast that just about everything becomes fair game — and very much public — when you're a starting quarterback in the NFL. Personal, professional and otherwise. Since the second-year pro took over as San Francisco's starter three games ago, further details of his life have emerged. ''I get tattoos because I like them, not for anybody else,'' Kaepernick said when asked if he understands the intrigue of a tattooed quarterback. ''I don't know. I don't worry about that.'' Kaepernick said Wednesday he understands there are pressures on and off the field with his job, but prefers to move forward this week from a disappointing loss at St. Louis and get ready for Sunday's home game against the Miami Dolphins.

''That's something that I don't worry about,'' he said. ''I'm here to play football. I don't pay attention to what the media's writing or what people are saying. I'm here to play, and go out and perform on Sundays.'' And Kaepernick knows he had better help the Niners (8-3-1) bounce back from a 1613 overtime loss on the road to the Rams — because coach Jim Harbaugh still will only go as far as to say Kaepernick is the starter again this week, nothing beyond there. The reigning NFL coach of the year hasn't ruled out returning to Alex Smith before season's end. 4:30 p.m. 3:30 p.m. GIRLS SOCCER Corning 3 p.m. NFL Denver Raiders NFLN 5:20 p.m. On the tube BOXING 7 p.m. ESPN2 — Lightweights, JiHoon Kim (24-7-0) vs. Ray Beltran (26-6-0), at Las Vegas MCT photo GOLF Raiders QB Carson Palmer gets rid of the ball against Denver in September. 12:30 p.m. TGC — Ladies European Tour, Dubai Ladies Masters, second round, at Dubai, United Arab Emi- Oakland on outside looking in rates (same-day tape) 5 p.m. TGC — PGA Tour Australasia, Australian Open, second round, at Sydney 10:30 p.m. TGC — Asian Tour, Thailand Championship, second round, at Bangkok MEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL 5 p.m. ESPN2 — Long Beach St. at Syracuse NBA 5 p.m. TNT — New York at Miami 7:30 p.m. TNT — Dallas at Phoenix NFL 5 p.m. NFL — Denver at Oakland is.''

Now the teams couldn't be further apart. The Broncos (9-3) are riding a seven-game winning streak into Thursday night's game in Oakland having already wrapped up the division title. They are spending the last month worried about playoff positioning and staying healthy for the postseason. The Raiders (3-9) have lost five straight and have been eliminated from playoff contention for a 10th straight season as the See RAIDERS, page 2B AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Klay Thompson scored 19 of his 27 points in the third quarter, and the Golden State Warriors pulled away to beat the Detroit Pistons 104-97 on Wednesday night. The Warriors, starting a seven-game road trip against the Eastern Conference, snapped Detroit's five-game winning streak at home. Golden State has won two straight games in Detroit after losing 25 of 29. Stephen Curry finished with 22 points and 10 assists, his fourth straight 20-10 game, while David Lee added 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Warriors. Tayshaun Prince was the only Pistons starter to reach double figures, but four reserves scored at least 10, including 17 from Rodney Stuckey and 15 points and 12 rebounds from Andre Drummond. Golden State looked as if it would take control early, jumping out to a 19-7 lead, but neither team could shoot well enough to hang on to any sustained advantage in the first half. The Warriors hit 35 percent from the floor, but that was better than Detroit's 33.9 percent and enough to take a 40-38 advantage into the intermission. The Warriors, though, scored 27 points in the first eight minutes of the third. Thompson scored 14 points in the burst, and Curry added nine. Thompson kept it going, finishing the period by blocking Greg Monroe's jumper from behind, then hitting a 3-pointer to give Golden State a 79-61 advantage going into the fourth. Two dunks by Drummond got Detroit within 83-72, but Thompson answered with a long jumper. Detroit appeared out of the game, but the Pistons hit seven straight shots to pull within 98-95 with a minute to play. Golden State, though, put the game away from the free throw line. Detroit intentionally fouled Andris Biedrins late in the third quarter. He missed the first shot badly, made the second and was immediately taken out of the game. Biedrins didn't play in the fourth quarter, but the Warriors did the same thing to Drummond late in the game.
