Neville, 60 James Shannon Williamson, 39 50 cents daily THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2014 Vol. 64, No. 6 One injured in Wednesday morning shooting Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com MEIGS COUNTY — A domestic situation escalated into violence Wednesday morning, resulting in one man being flown to the hospital and another under arrest. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood said his office responded to a call at 31855 Briar Ridge Road near Langsville at 9:34 a.m. Wednesday. The initial call was received by Meigs EMS/911. Deputies responded to the residence where they discovered an injured William E. Cleveland, age 49, who had allegedly been shot by his step-father, Robert Burns, age 69. Burns was taken into custody by Meigs County Sheriff’s Deputies, while Cleveland was transported from the scene by Meigs EMS and then by medical helicopter to St. Marys Hospital in Huntington, W.Va. Cleveland was reportedly shot in the abdomen. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Cleveland has undergone surgery at St. Marys. There is no word on his current condition or the extent of his injuries. Investigators were on the scene this morning collecting evidence. A small caliber pistol and other evidence were recovered at the scene. Burns is being held in the Middleport Jail pending an appearance in Meigs County Court. The case will be turned over to the Meigs County Prosecutor following the initial investigation. It is not known at this time what charges will be filed BURNS against Burns. This is the second nonfatal shooting to take place in Meigs County over the past four months. Neal D. Bonecutter, 41, of Pomeroy, remains in jail on charges of felonious assault and having weapons under disability after a shooting on Sept. 19, 2013. The charges against Bonecutter stem from a shooting at a residence on Ohio 143 in Sept. 2013. According to the indictment filed in October with the Meigs County Clerk of Courts, on Sept. 19, Bonecutter committed the crime of felonious assault in that he did knowingly cause or attempt to cause to another by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous ordinance. Both counts of felonious assault also carry a firearms specification, meaning that the offender had a firearm on or about his person or under his con- trol while committing the offenses, and displayed the firearm, brandished the firearm, indicated that the offender possessed the firearm or used it to facilitate the offense. Sheriff Keith O. Wood reported on Sept. 19, 2013, that deputies arrested Neal D. Bonecutter, age 41, of Pomeroy, for two counts of attempted murder after an altercation at his residence located on Ohio 143. It was reported that Bonecutter shot Allen Brickles in the lower leg and shot at Melissa Dickens as she fled the residence. Brickles was taken by ambulance to Holzer Medical Center and later transferred to Cabell Hun- tington Trauma Unit. He was later released. Bonecutter was originally scheduled for a pre-trial hearing and jury trial in November and December, but both dates were continued. A notice was filed in late November for a substitution of counsel, with attorney Clare M. Ball Jr. now serving as counsel for Bonecutter. A pre-trial hearing is now scheduled for 2 p.m. on Jan. 29, with a jury trial scheduled for Feb. 11. A hearing had been scheduled for Jan. 6 in the case but was continued. Bonecutter is in custody of the Meigs County Sheriff as he awaits upcoming court appearances.

Ohio gov asks parents to deliver drug-free message COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s governor wants parents and other adults to talk to children about the dangers of abusing drugs and other substances, as the state works to combat problems with prescription pain pills and heroin. Drug overdoses, spurred by increased use of painkillers and heroin, have surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of accidental death in Ohio. Gov. John Kasich plans Wednesday to promote a state initiative aimed at getting the drug-free message to middle and high school students. He will be joined his wife, NFL Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz, the attorney general and others to discuss the effort at two schools in southwest Ohio. Parents may be surprised when drugs are found at high schools or a child has taken prescription drugs from a friend’s family member, said Tracy Plouck, director of the state’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. “Kids are using drugs and tempted to use drugs all across the state, and there’s a sort of ‘not-in-my-backyard’ sense among parents sometimes,” Plouck said in an interview with The Associated Press. “What we’re really trying to do is raise parental awareness that it can happen, and it’s important to stay ahead of that.” The governor’s “Start Talking” initiative draws from new and existing drug prevention programs. A state website for the initiative directs parents and school leaders to free resources from The Partnership at Drugfree.org. The information includes a video, discussion guide and documents so adults can speak more confidently to kids about the dangers of prescription drug abuse. Parents, teachers and caregivers also can sign up for twice-monthly emailed newsletters from the Drug Free Action Alliance for tips about how to talk to children about the issue. Plouck said the prevention message is critical to middle school students. “Many young people haven’t been exposed to that sort of temptation prior to the middle school years,” she said, adding that they are still forming opinions. “We really want to make sure that parents are having really open, honest and candid discussions with their children by that point.” Roughly two out of 10 of high school students reported having ever used prescription pain relievers or painkillers without a doctor’s prescription, according to a 2011 survey of 9th to 12th graders by Ohio’s health department. Other efforts in the initiative include a program in which members of the State Highway Patrol and Ohio National Guard meet with high school athletes and encourage them to talk to their peers about being drug-free. Ohio officials also will soon take grant applications from schools and nonprofits in low- Ohio Valley Forecast Thursday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 40.

The state expects to award the federal dollars in April so that the programs can begin during the fall school year. Plouck declined to disclose the amount of the grant program, saying the state wants to first assess the quality of the proposals. Ohio has tried to choke off supply and cut pain pill abuse. But the quick spread in recent years in the United States of cheap, potent heroin from Mexico and other countries has sent drug abuse and overdoses skyrocketing in the region. Attorney General Mike DeWine calls heroin abuse an epidemic killing at least 11 Ohioans a week. DeWine’s office has said there were more than 600 heroin overdose deaths in the state in 2012, a figure that more than doubled since 2010. School and parent participation in the initiative is voluntary, though the state says it has commitments from districts that plan to use the materials. Man with 48 bombs in Ohio is an Indiana Guardsman CINCINNATI (AP) — A man being held Wednesday on $1 million bond in central Ohio after police say they found bombs and other weapons in his vehicle is a specialist in the Indiana National Guard, trained as an intelligence analyst, a Guard official said. Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 43, arrested in January after a traffic stop, completed training in military intelligence in April 2010, military records show. Lt. Col. Cathy Van Bree told The Associated Press by email on Wednesday that Boguslawski’s security clearance has been suspended, along with “all favorable personnel actions,” meaning he can’t be promoted, receive awards or other privileges. Boguslawski was transferred in November to the medical discharge unit, but Van Bree said she couldn’t discuss any information about his condition. Boguslawski was stopped Jan. 1 for speeding on a highway west of Columbus. Madison County authorities say he was charged with illegally making or possessing an explosive device, after 48 bombs, four guns and a remote detonating device were allegedly found in his vehicle. County authorities said an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper stopped Boguslawski for going 85 mph in a 70 mph zone. Police said that although Boguslawski said he had no weapons, the officer spotted the handle of a gun between his knees as the officer returned with a ticket. �Thursday, January 9, 2014 Obituary Death Notices LUCILLE YVONNE HAGGERTY GALLIPOLIS — Lucille Yvonne Haggerty, beloved mother and grandm o t h e r, age 92, of Gallipolis, died Tu e s d a y morning, January 7, 2014.

The Sheldon Richman With al-Qaeda affiliates wreaking havoc in Iraq, Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham seem to lament that no U.S. troops are on the scene to get in on the action. “The Administration must recognize the failure of its policies in the Middle East and change course,” McCain and Graham said. Change course? Do they want to send troops back to Iraq, so they can do more dying and killing? McCain and Graham, who never saw an opportunity for U.S. military intervention they didn’t like, continue to operate under the absurd illusion that American politicians and bureaucrats can micromanage something as complex as a foreign society. Their hubris knows no bounds, but, then, they never pay the price for their foolishness. Who pays? The Americans they cheer off to war, but even more so, the people in foreign lands who are on the receiving end of American intervention. How do those scoundrels in Washington sleep? If you haven’t noticed, American foreign policy is a shambles. Iraq and Afghanistan are engulfed in violence, and their corrupt, authoritarian governments are objects of suspicion and hatred. The suggestion that U.S. forces could make things better only shows how out of touch people in Washington can be. Anyone who was thinking clearly in 2001–2003 knew it would come to this. Afghanistan has a history of driving out invaders. Only someone blinded by the allure of empire could fool himself into thinking the U.S. government could arrange affairs such that they wouldn’t unravel the moment U.S. personnel prepared to leave the country. The 2003 Iraq invasion raised even more questions about the ability of policymakers to engage in clear thinking. Under Saddam Hussein, the minority Sunni Muslims ruled the Shi’ite majority, many of whom were sympathetic to Shi’ite Iran, America’s supposed bête noir. Take out Saddam, and Iran’s “If you haven’t noticed, American foreign policy is a shambles. Iraq and Afghanistan are engulfed in violence, and their corrupt, authoritarian governments are objects of suspicion and hatred. The suggestion that U.S. forces could make things better only shows how out of touch people in Washington can be.” — Sheldon Richman friends would rule. Indeed, the man who became Iraq’s prime minister, Nouri alMaliki, was handpicked by Iranian authorities. (Ironically, the Shi’ite leader that the Bush administration chose to fight, Muqtada alSadr, was the most nationalist of Iraqi Shi’ites and least sympathetic to Iran.) With Shi’ites in control, Iraqi Sunnis resisted. And then came the al-Qaeda fighters, who saw a chance to kill both Shi’ites and Americans. Hence the continued violence in Iraq, even though U.S. forces left at the end of 2011 — despite the Obama administration’s best effort to keep some there. Iraq and Afghanistan are not the only places where U.S. foreign policy is in disarray. Take Egypt. The Obama administration — including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — stuck with hated military dictator and ally Hosni Mubarak until the bitter end and even then tried to have his second-incommand and torturer in chief, Omar Suleiman, take over when Mubarak was finished. That didn’t work, of course, and a fledgling democracy (whatever its imperfections) began to sprout wings. The Obama administration praised Egyptian democratic aspirations, but when the military deposed President Muhammad Morsi last year, the administration sided with the coup makers — although it could not use the word coup, for that would The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

The U.S. government has no desire to end that appropriation, because it keeps Egypt in the American camp and blunts its support for the Palestinians, who are under occupation by U.S. partner Israel. With Egypt’s military government cracking down on the civil liberties of the members of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, U.S. policy looks more monstrous every day. Speaking of Israel, Secretary of State John Kerry seems to be going all out for a peace agreement between the government of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinians, but Kerry’s effort has a fatal flaw at its core. Netanyahu & Co. don’t want the Palestinians to have a viable, autonomous state free of Israeli domination. We know this because the prime minister keeps announcing plans for more illegal Jewish-only residences on Palestinian land acquired through war. Kerry won’t condemn this flagrant undermining of “peace” talks because he, like so many American politicians, is beholden to Israel’s powerful American lobby. Then there’s Libya and Syria — but you get the idea. U.S. foreign intervention aggravates conflicts and puts America on the side of oppressors. No wonder it’s falling to pieces. Sheldon Richman is vice president and editor at The Future of Freedom Foundation in Fairfax, Va. (www.fff.org). American people and support for war Lawrence S. Wittner When it comes to war, the American public is remarkably fickle. The responses of Americans to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars provide telling examples. In 2003, according to opinion polls, 72 percent of Americans thought going to war in Iraq was the right decision. By early 2013, support for that decision had declined to 41 percent. Similarly, in October 2001, when U.S. military action began in Afghanistan, it was backed by 90 percent of the American public. By December 2013, public approval of the Afghanistan war had dropped to only 17 percent. In fact, this collapse of public support for once-popular wars is a long-term phenomenon. Although World War I preceded public opinion polling, observers reported considerable enthusiasm for U.S. entry into that conflict in April 1917. But, after the war, the enthusiasm melted away. In 1937, when pollsters asked Americans whether the United States should participate in another war like the World War, 95 percent of the respondents said “No.” And so it went. When President Truman dispatched U.S. troops to Korea in June 1950, 78 percent of Americans polled expressed their approval. By February 1952, according to polls, 50 percent of Americans believed that U.S. entry into the Korean War had been a mistake. The same phenomenon occurred in connection with the Vietnam War. In August 1965, when Americans were asked if the U.S. government had made “a mistake in sending troops to fight in Vietnam,” 61 percent of them said “No.” But by August 1968, support for the war had fallen to 35 percent, and by May 1971 it had dropped to 28 percent. Of all America’s wars over the past century, only World War II has retained mass public approval. And this was a very unusual war – one involving a devastating military attack upon American soil, fiendish foes determined to conquer and enslave the world, and a clear-cut, total victory. In almost all cases, though, Americans turned against wars they once supported. How should one explain this pattern of disillusionment? The major reason appears to be the immense cost of war — in lives and resources. During the Korean and Vietnam wars, as the body bags and crippled veterans began coming back to the United States in large numbers, public support for the wars dwindled considerably. Although the Afghanistan and Iraq wars produced fewer American casualties, the economic costs have been immense. Two recent scholarly studies have estimated that these two wars will ultimately cost American taxpayers from $4 trillion to $6 trillion. As a result, most of the U.S. government’s spending no longer goes for education, health care, parks, and infrastructure, but to cover the costs of war. It is hardly surprising that many Americans have turned Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. sour on these conflicts. But if the heavy burden of wars has disillusioned many Americans, why are they so easily suckered into supporting new ones? A key reason seems to be that that powerful, opinion-molding institutions – the mass communications media, government, political parties, and even education – are controlled, more or less, by what President Eisenhower called “the militaryindustrial complex.” And, at the outset of a conflict, these institutions are usually capable of getting flags waving, bands playing, and crowds cheering for war. But it is also true that much of the American public is very gullible and, at least initially, quite ready to rally ‘round the flag. Certainly, many Americans are very nationalistic and resonate to super-patriotic appeals. A mainstay of U.S. political rhetoric is the sacrosanct claim that America is “the greatest nation in the world” – a very useful motivator of U.S. military action against other countries. And this heady brew is topped off with considerable reverence for guns and U.S. soldiers. (“Let’s hear the applause for Our Heroes!”) Of course, there is also an important American peace constituency, which has formed long-term peace organizations, including Peace Action, Physicians for Social Responsibility, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and other antiwar groups. This peace constituency, often driven by moral and political ideals, provides the key force behind the opposition to U.S. wars in their early stages. But it is counterbalanced by staunch military enthusiasts, ready to applaud wars to the last surviving American. The shifting force in U.S. public opinion is the large number of people who rally ‘round the flag at the beginning of a war and, then, gradually, become fed up with the conflict. And so a cyclical process ensues. Benjamin Franklin recognized it as early as the eighteenth century, when he penned a short poem for A Pocket Almanack For the Year 1744: War begets Poverty, Poverty Peace; Peace makes Riches flow, (Fate ne’er doth cease.) Riches produce Pride, Pride is War’s Ground; War begets Poverty &c. The World goes round. There would certainly be less disillusionment, as well as a great savings in lives and resources, if more Americans recognized the terrible costs of war before they rushed to embrace it. But a clearer understanding of war and its consequences will probably be necessary to convince Americans to break out of the cycle in which they seem trapped.

Lynnett Gorman had faced a misdemeanor charge of failure to report child abuse or neglect related to the April 2012 party. The accusation against Gorman arose from an investigation into other crimes associated with the August 2012 rape of a 16-year-old girl after a different party, but it was not related to that case. Gorman, a principal in the Steubenville city schools, must perform 40 hours of community service at a rape crisis or victim assistance center and talk to teachers and administrators in Steubenville about the importance of reporting child abuse and neglect, DeWine said. She must also encourage the school system to host a speaker from the Ohio Alliance Against Sexual Violence during Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April. If she completes those activities, the charge will be dropped by June 1, DeWine said. The attorney general said more can be accomplished through community service than jail time had Gorman been convicted. “The interests of the community are served by having the principal ac- knowledge that she should have done things differently,” DeWine said in a statement, adding: “This is about the long-term healing of the community.” A message seeking comment was left Wednesday with Gorman’s attorney, Dennis McNamara, who previously said Gorman was accused of failing to report possible child abuse, apparently involving a teen sex and drinking party in April 2012 unrelated to the rape of the West Virginia girl later that year. McNamara said Gorman learned about the party second- or third-hand while checking to see if her son had been involved. Because parents of the teens knew of the party’s circumstances, “I don’t think she had an obligation” to report it, McNamara said last month.

The Atlanta Braves beat the Colorado Rockies 2-0. Maddux, Glavine, Thomas elected to Hall of Fame NEW YORK (AP) — Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas were elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Wednesday, while Craig Biggio fell two votes short and tainted stars of the Steroids Era remained far behind. Maddux was picked on 555 of 571 ballots by senior members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. His 97.2 percentage was the eighth-highest in the history of voting. Glavine, Maddux’s longtime teammate in the Atlanta rotation, appeared on 525 ballots and received 91.9 percent. Thomas, the first Hall of Famer who spent the majority of his career as a designated hitter, was at 483. The trio will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27 along with managers Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, elected last month by the expansion-era committee. Maddux and Glavine played under Cox for most of their careers. “It’s exciting for me to go in with my teammate,” Maddux said. Writers had not elected three players in one vote since Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount in 1999. Biggio received 427 votes and 74.8 percent, matching Nellie Fox in 1985 and Pie Traynor in 1947 for the smallest margin to just miss. Biggio appeared on 388 ballots in his initial appearance last year and appears to be on track to gain election next year. Mike Piazza was next was 62.2 percent followed by Jack Morris, who was 78 votes short at 61.5 percent in his 15th and final appearance on the writers’ ballot. Jeff Bagwell got 54.3 percent. Controversy over how to evaluate stars tainted by the Steroids Era continued to impact the vote totals of players with stellar statistics. In their second appearances on the ballot, Roger Clemens dropped from 37.6 percent to 35.4, Barry Bonds from 36.2 to 34.7 and Sammy Sosa from 12.5 to 7.2. Appearing for the eighth time, Mark McGwire fell from 16.9 to 11.0. Rafael Palmeiro will be dropped from future ballots after falling to 25 votes and 4.4 percent — below the 5 percent threshold necessary to remain eligible for next year’s vote. Deadspin.com announced Miami Herald columnist Dan Le Batard had turned his ballot over to the website, which allowed readers to vote on how it should be cast. “I hate all the moralizing we do in sports in general, but I especially hate the hypocrisy in this,” Le Batard said in remarks posted by Deadspin. “‘I always like a little anarchy inside the cathedral we’ve made of sports.” See HALL | 6 OVP Sports Schedule Thursday, Jan. 9 Boys Basketball Hurricane at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Girls Basketball South Point at River Valley, 7:30 Waterford at Eastern, 7:30 Wahama at South Gallia, 7:30 Meigs at Vinton County, 7:30 Calhoun County at Hannan, 7:30 Southern at Belpre, 7:30 Friday, Jan. 10 Boys Basketball Trimble at Eastern, 7:30 Portsmouth at Gallia Academy, 7:30 South Gallia at Waterford, 7:30 Wahama at Belpre, 7:30 River Valley at South Point, 7:30 Wayne at Ohio Valley Christian, 7:30 Meigs at Nelsonville-York, 7:30 Hannan at Rose Hill Christian, 7 p.m. Southern at Miller, 7:30 Girls Basketball Point Pleasant at Parkersburg South, 7:30 Wrestling Wahama at Jackson County Invitational, 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11 Boys Basketball Point Pleasant at Logan, 7:30 Hannan at Calvary Baptist, 7:30 Rock Hill at Southern, 7:30 Girls Basketball Charleston Catholic at Wahama, 7:30 Federal Hocking at Southern, Noon Gallia Academy at Warren, 7:30 River Valley at Meigs, 7:30 Wrestling River Valley at Alexander, 9:30 Wahama at Jackson County Invitational, 8 a.m. Adam Cairns | Columbus Dispatch | MCT photo Ohio State Buckeyes running back Jordan Hall (2) congratulates quarterback Kenny Guiton (13), after Guiton scored a touchdown against San Diego State in the second quarter at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013. Buckeyes about to enter an offseason of change COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Hang on. This could be a wild offseason at Ohio State. Even if, as expected, quarterback Braxton Miller returns for his senior year, coach Urban Meyer will be busy rebuilding a team hit by two defeats to end the season. “You sometimes have to go through things. I’d rather not, but that’s part of (it),” Meyer said in the somber moments after losing 40-34 to Clemson on Friday night. “We played a good team in the Orange Bowl, and it was a high-scoring game with a lot of great plays. We didn’t finish it.” That defeat, and a 34-24, streak-busting loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten title game, just affirmed what many thought: The Buckeyes feasted on inferior teams but would falter against anyone close to as good as them. Now Meyer has to do some finishing of his own. He and his staff — whoever that might be, since many are expecting personnel changes — will have a busy offseason. After feeling invincible for two years, the Buckeyes head into a long, cold winter with a two-game losing skid and a pile of question marks. Up in smoke is the school-record 24-game winning streak that covered the past two regular seasons. Now there is a lot of hard work to be done, to not only make the Buckeyes better but to restore some faith in the program. Meyer & Co. must completely plug a leaky defense, replace most of the offensive line, find a new go-to tailback and wide-out and develop new leaders. All signs point to Miller, a three-year starter, returning for his final season in scarlet and gray. With proven backup Kenny Guiton graduating, Miller’s return buys some time for the coaches to develop redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett. Asked earlier in the season what he would gain from sticking around Ohio State for another season, Miller said, “Just learning from (Meyer). Get better at my craft. And graduate, too.” Whoever is calling the signals, his job will be made substantially harder by the graduation of four-fifths of the line. Al Diaz | Miami Herald | MCT Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is greeted by coach Urban Meyer after scoring in the first quarter against Clemson in the Discover Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., on Friday, Jan. 3. “I know people talk a lot about us leaving and the shape of the offensive line, but I’m not worried,” said one of those four departing seniors, Jack Mewhort. “I know there’s a lot of hard workers in there and a lot of guys who are going to be very good players in the future.” Ohio State also must find replacements for durable back Carlos Hyde, who gained 1,527 yards and scored 15 touchdowns this season, and wide-out Corey Brown, who led the way with 63 receptions for 771 yards and 10 scores. Freshmen Ezekiel Elliott and Dontre Wilson are the top candidates to replace Hyde, while Devin Smith and Evan Spencer provide solid options at receiver. See BUCKEYES | 6 AP source: Petrino interviews for Louisville job Gary B. Graves The Associated Press Western Kentucky coach Bobby Petrino talked to Louisville on Tuesday about its top job. Petrino interviewed with Cardinals athletic director Tom Jurich, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. Jurich is looking for a replacement for Charlie Strong, who took the Texas job over the weekend. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the school has not announced a list of coaching candidates, also said Louisville offensive coordinator Shawn Watson and defensive coordinator Vance Bedford are among “several candidates” who have interviewed for the position. An announcement on Strong’s successor could come as early as Thurs- day morning, when the University of Louisville Athletic Association is scheduled to meet to review Jurich’s recommendation for the position. Petrino, 52, is the most notable name among the known candidates because of his previous coaching success that began at Louisville. He went 41-9 as the Cardinals’ coach from 2003-06 and earned the program’s first BCS bowl victory his final season there in the Orange Bowl before a 3-10 stint with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons in 2007. Petrino has an 83-30 career record as a college head coach, including an 8-4 mark last season with the Hilltoppers, his first position since his April 2012 firing by Arkansas amid scandal. The Montana native was dismissed for a “pattern of misleading behavior” about a motorcycle accident in which he claimed to be alone before revealing that his mistress was a passenger. Petrino was 34-17 with the Razorbacks, including a 2-1 record in bowl games. WKU gave Petrino a four-year deal with a base annual salary of $850,000. His contract includes a $1.2 million repayment to the school if he terminates it at any time. Speculation over Petrino possibly being considered for Louisville increased when Jurich said during a Sunday news conference that “everybody is in play” to be Strong’s replacement. The AD promised to move quickly on the hire but said he wanted a coach who was the right fit and committed to the school for the long term.

Father says Spence’s suspension is unjust COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The father of Ohio State’s Noah Spence says his son unknowingly ingested the drug ecstasy and that the Big Ten unjustly suspended the sophomore defensive end. Spence was suspended for Ohio State’s Orange Bowl loss and must sit out the first two games of the 2014 season. His father, Greg Spence, has told several media outlets that someone apparently slipped the drug into a drink without Noah knowing it the week before the Big Ten title game on Dec. 7. Ohio State backed the Spences’ appeal. Greg Spence said the Big Ten initially wanted to suspend his son for a season but then determined Ecstasy is not a performance-enhancing drug but rather a stimulant. The Big Ten denied an appeal to drop the suspension. Spence led the Buckeyes in sacks. Irving back for Cavs after missing 3 games CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers AllStar point guard Kyrie Irving is back in the lineup after missing three games with a bruised left knee. Irving is starting Tuesday night against Philadelphia. The third-year pro was sidelined after injuring his knee on an awkward fall last week at Indiana. Irving said he may have overreacted after going down, but that he was “scared to death” that he was hurt more seriously. Irving felt a “pop” in his knee, but an MRI showed no structural damage. Irving called it a “weird” injury and said he didn’t want to come back until he was 100 percent. He leads the Cavs in scoring at 22.2 points per game. Irving started 31 consecutive games before he was injured. He missed 38 games in his first two NBA seasons with a variety of injuries. Puig asks Fla trooper to let him go after speeding NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is heard in a dash cam video asking a Florida trooper to let him go after an officer clocked him driving 110 mph in a 70 mph zone. The Florida Highway Patrol video of the traffic stop was released Wednesday. The 23-year-old Cuban defector was charged Dec. 28 with reckless driving in Naples. Puig lives in the Miami area during the offseason. The trooper asks Puig in Spanish why he was speeding and tells him he was going to jail for “putting your mom in danger.” Puig’s mother was in the car when officers pulled him over. In April last year, Puig was clocked going 97 in a 50 mph zone in Tennes- see, though those charges were later dismissed. Mayfield convicted on drug, stolen goods charges NEWTON, N.C. (AP) — Former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield has been convicted on charges of possession of stolen goods and drug paraphernalia. Mayfield was convicted Monday in Catawba County Court. He’s been placed on unsupervised probation for 18 months. He also was ordered to pay more than $88,000 in restitution and $1,100 in fines and other costs. Mayfield was suspended by NASCAR in 2009 after it said he twice tested positive for methamphetamine use. He denied illegal drug use, but the suspension was upheld after two appeals. Mayfield was charged after a police raid at his house found stolen property. Authorities say they found heavy machinery from nearby companies and equipment taken from a racing operation. Mayfield and his wife were evicted from the house in November 2012 after the home went into foreclosure. Manziel leaving Texas A&M for NFL draft COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Johnny Football is heading to the NFL. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel declared for the NFL draft on Wednesday following two spectacular seasons in which he became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy and helped the Aggies make a splash in their first two years in the Southeastern Conference. “After long discussions with my family, friends, teammates, and coaches, I have decided to make myself available for the 2014 NFL draft,” Manziel said in a letter posted online by the university. “The decision was not an easy one, but we all felt this was the right time to make the next step toward a professional career.” Some NFL draft analysts have Manziel ranked as high as third among quarterbacks expected to be available in the draft. In a style befitting his recordsetting career, Manziel led the Aggies to a 52-48 come-frombehind win over Duke in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl on New Year’s Eve in his final college game. Texas A&M trailed 38-17 at halftime before Manziel guided them to the victory by finishing with 382 yards passing with four TD tosses and 73 yards rushing and another score. Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman in 2012 after setting numerous school and SEC records while leading Texas A&M to an 11-2 record and a victory over No. 1 Alabama in its first season in the SEC. His dynamic play created a frenzy and pushed him into a stratosphere of celebrity that few college athletes have reached. That began to cause problems since Manziel, who is from Kerrville, Texas, still had three years of eligibility remaining. He followed his Heisman-winning season with a high-profile offseason of road trips to Las Vegas and the NBA Finals. Man- “After long discussions with my family, friends, teammates, and coaches, I have decided to make myself available for the 2014 NFL draft.” — Johnny Manziel Texas A&M quarterback ziel met Heat star LeBron James and rapper Drake, and he posted some tweets that made headlines. One that brought the ire of Aggie fans was when he said he “couldn’t wait” to get out of College Station. His most embarrassing blunder came during the summer when he departed early from a quarterback camp for high school players run by the Manning family in Louisiana. Manziel said it was a mutual decision after he overslept and missed meetings and activities. Manziel’s trouble continued when he got back to football. He was suspended for the first half of the Aggies’ season opener against Rice for what the school said was an “inadvertent” violation of NCAA rules. He was investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension. The Aggies were supposed to contend for a national title in Manziel’s encore. But another standout season by the dynamic quarterback wasn’t enough to overcome a porous defense that was among the worst in the nation. Texas A&M finished 9-4. Manziel shook off his early sea- son drama to lead the SEC with 4,114 yards and 37 touchdowns and he topped the team in rushing with 759 yards and nine more scores. He threw more touchdown passes, had more yards passing, a better completion percentage and averaged more yards an attempt than he did in 2012. Manziel also led the SEC in total offense in 2013. Manziel was again a finalist for the Heisman in 2013, but Jameis Winston stole his thunder with a season much like Manziel’s a year before to take home the award to Florida State. Manziel finished fifth. Hall From Page 5 BBWAA Secretary-Treasurer Jack O’Connell declined comment.

A two-time AL MVP, Thomas hit .301 with 521 homers and 1,704 RBIs in 19 seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Toronto and Oakland. “This has been a stressful 48 hours,” Thomas said in a statement. “This is something that I will have to sit back in the next three or four days and figure it out because you can only dream so big, as this is as big as it gets for me.” Writers who have been members of the BBWAA for 10 consecutive years at any point were eligible to consider the 36-player ballot. Next year’s vote could be even more crowded when Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, Carlos Delgado and Gary Sheffield become eligible, five years after their retirements. The BBWAA last month formed a committee to study whether the organization should ask the Hall to change the limit of 10 players per ballot. Buckeyes From Page 5 But all of that is secondary to the 500-pound gorilla on the Buckeyes’ list of problems. The defense was obliterated in the final three games. In a 42-41 win at Michigan and the losses to No. 10 Michigan State and No. 12 Clemson, it gave up an average of 38 points, 26 first downs, 161 yards rushing, 378 yards passing and 539 yards of total offense per game. Then subtract from that unit perhaps its three best players: All-American linebacker Ryan Shazier (leaving a year early), and senior safeties C.J. Barnett and Christian Bryant (who missed the second half of the year with a broken ankle). The line will be led by Joey Bosa, a freshman who got better as the season progressed. “There’s some future NFL players in that group,” Meyer said of the line, which also includes Joel Hale, Michael Bennett, Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington. Joshua Perry and the enigmatic Curtis Grant return at linebacker. Don’t be surprised if Raekwon McMillan, a renowned recruit out of Georgia, gets a shot at stepping in right away. The secondary will be rebuilt around cornerback Doran Grant and a couple of guys who made big contributions in their first year, Tyvis Powell and Vonn Bell. After the Orange Bowl loss, Meyer was asked how the team was handling another setback. “It’s going to sting for a while, probably a long while,” he said. “So we’ve just got to go out and recruit our tails off, got to develop players and work real hard with schemes — and we’ll get there.” Visit us at www.mydailysentinel.com �Thursday, January 9, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 7 www.mydailysentinel.com What do Bengals do with Andy Dalton now? CINCINNATI (AP) — What do the Bengals do with Andy Dalton? The second-round pick has done exceptional things by getting Cincinnati to the playoffs each of his first three seasons, something only four other quarterbacks have done in NFL history. Unlike those other four, Dalton has yet to win in the postseason. Not only has he lost, he’s been horrid. Dalton has played his worst games in the biggest moments, including a three-turnover second half on Sunday that helped San Diego pull away to a 27-10 victory that extended Cincinnati’s record-tying playoff misery. It’s now 23 years since Cincinnati has won a playoff game, tied for sixthlongest streak in league history. And the Bengals have tied the league record by losing their first playoff game in three straight seasons. In those three games, Dalton has thrown for one touchdown and four interceptions. He has missed open receivers and forced passes that were picked off. So, what now? Marvin Lewis — who is 0-5 in the playoffs as a head coach, one loss shy of the record — is reassuring his quarterback that he’s still the team leader. “I believe in his abilities, I believe in his makeup, I believe in his maturity and I believe in his ability to let the last play go and move on to the next play,” Lewis said. That could change during an offseason that will be all about Andy. The AFC North champions have enough returning talent on offense and defense to reach the playoffs again. The only big questions surround the quarterback. Dalton and receiver A.J. Green are entering the final years on their contracts, the time for teams to reward players it wants to keep. Green most likely will get a hefty extension this offseason based upon his three Pro Bowl seasons. What about Dalton? Do they believe in him enough to give him a lot more years and a lot of money? Or is it time to start hedging their bets and looking at the alternatives? The Bengals could hold off on an extension, let Dalton play his final season and bring in another quarterback through the draft or free agency to compete for the job. Or they could just keep the status quo and leave it all up to Dalton again. Lewis is reassuring Dalton that it’s still his team. “He said I am the guy he believes in, and he believes that I can get us over the next hump,” Dalton said. “It’s great to hear that from your coach, and that’s what I wanted to hear.” Others aren’t so sure. “I’m drafting someone regardless because this team has it … but it seems like this guy just cannot seize the moment,” former NFL cornerback Deion Sanders said on the NFL Network. Until Sunday, it appeared Dalton was ready to do it. He set club records for touchdown passes and yards passing while leading the Bengals to the AFC North title this season. He joined Pat Haden, Dan Marino, Bernie Kosar and Joe Flacco as the only quarterbacks to reach the playoffs in each of their first three seasons. The other four won in the playoffs. Not Dalton, who had an impressive first half against the Chargers — 12 of 17 for 164 yards, a touchdown and a 120.7 passer rating — before imploding with a fumble and two interceptions in Cincinnati’s Doug Kapustin | MCT Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton watches from the bench after his team fails on a fourth down conversion during the overtime period of their game, won by the Ravens in overtime, 20-17, in Baltimore on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013. scoreless second half. Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden saw Dalton start to press as the halftime lead slipped away. “Once you’re in the playoffs and you get a lead and then all of a sudden you lose a lead and then all of a sudden you start pressing just a little too much, and you start trying to scramble to try and make things happen that you’re not used to making,” Gruden said. “It becomes difficult.” Dalton’s not the first quarterback to experience such playoff failure. Actually, he’s in pretty good company. Warren Moon lost four straight opening-round playoff games, while Otto Graham, Y.A. Tittle, Joe Montana, Bert Jones and Randall Cunningham also lost three in a row just like Dalton, according to STATS. Dave Krieg lost five straight playoff games overall for the NFL record since 1950, accord- ing to STATS. Tittle, Billy Kilmer and Moon lost four straight. Dalton is tied with 23 others at three consecutive playoff losses. Now what? “I don’t think he’s ready to be the guy who wins the game by himself,” Gruden said. “I don’t know how many quarterbacks are. There’s only a select few of those in the NFL. But we need to be great around him, and we weren’t great around him.” Ravens seeks to improve offense OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — When you reach the playoffs in five straight seasons and take home a Super Bowl trophy to cap the run, it’s difficult to stay at home in January while a dozen other teams are still playing football. That is why Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti labeled his team’s 2014 season “a failure,” even though the defending NFL champions finished one victory short of earning a playoff berth. “I think it’s fair to say it’s a failure because our goal is to be one of the top 12,” Bisciotti said in a news conference Wednesday. Baltimore went 8-8 and fell out of contention with a 34-17 loss to Cincinnati in the season finale. It wasn’t a disaster of a season, but it certainly wasn’t what the Ravens were looking for coming off the second Super Bowl win in franchise history. “There’s bigger failures out there. There are teams that are a whole lot more disappointed,” Bisciotti said. “If we found ourselves at 3-13 like the Falcons, I think they’re sitting there thinking we’ve got to make a lot of major changes, and I really don’t think we do. If 8-8 is a failure, I hope it’s a long time before I feel worse than this.” Baltimore’s biggest problem was a running attack that ranked 30th in the 32-team league. Ray Rice ran for only 660 yards and the Ravens averaged a mere 3.1 yards per carry. “The history of this franchise has been our ability to run the football,” general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “That’s one of the things that we’ve already started to work on. We talked to the guys that were personally involved in the run game. Everybody understands that in 2014 we will do everything we can to make us a better run team because it will make us a better football team.” The ground woes made a target of Juan Castillo, who had the title of run game coordinator in his first full season with Baltimore. “I can understand why Juan is a lightning rod right now because of the way that was set up and structured,” coach John Harbaugh said. “Then we go into the season and have our worst season running the ball and he’s got that title. That’s on me. When we added Juan, the idea was to add another great coach into the mix. Juan functioned as the offensive line coach. That was his job.” And that will be his title in 2014. “Juan will be the offensive line coach next year,” Harbaugh said. “The rest of it’s a little bit in flux right now.” The Ravens and running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery have already parted ways, and offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell is in the midst of interviewing with several teams looking for a new head coach. “As all this NFL coaching drama goes on, some of our guys are involved in that,” Harbaugh said. “We’re going to see how it shakes out.” Newsome will spend the months ahead working to retain several unrestricted free agents — including wide receiver Jacoby Jones, tight end Dennis Pitta defensive lineman Arthur Jones — and improving an offense that ranked 28th overall. “The numbers that are so striking to me is to find yourself in the bottom five of every offensive category,” Bisciotti said. Newsome will have to determine what to do with tackles Eugene Monroe and Michael Oher, and whether he needs to upgrade at center and guard. “I think we’ve got to get bigger in the interior of our offensive line,” Newsome said. “I think we need to have a more athletic safety in the defense. We need to get a receiver that can make a third-and-7, third-and-8 catch and to be able to run after the catch. Those are some areas that we can add some. I have no doubt that the players we retain on this team will get better.” Although offense was the most glaring shortcoming, the defense had it low points, too. Of the 352 points the Ravens allowed, 134 came in the fourth quarter. “Not having the ability to get off the field maybe cost us three or four games this year,” Newsome said. Newsome said he will not restructure contracts, but would be willing to extend pacts to get under the salary cap. Linebacker Terrell Suggs led the team with 10 sacks and ranked third in tackles, but his contract comes with a lofty salary cap number. Which means he could be in line for a new deal, like it or not. “Terrell is a real good football player,” Newsome said. “That being said … I have no aversion to letting good football players walk out the door. We’ll look at every aspect of it and see what’s best for the 2014 and 2015 and 2016 Ravens and make that decision once we get to it.” Cleveland Browns kicker Phil Dawson kicks one of his three field goals during the second half of their game in Baltimore, Md., on Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012. The Ravens take a 23-16 win over the Browns. Doug Kapustin | MCT photo In 15th year, Dawson finally gets his playoff win SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Phil Dawson walked off the field in triumph, his left hand still raised in the freezing air. San Francisco’s veteran kicker waited 15 years for his first playoff victory. And 11 years to return to the postseason after his lone previous trip after 2002 with Cleveland. What a memorable day Dawson had Sunday, kicking the winning 33yard field goal in the bitter cold as time expired at Green Bay, sending the 49ers (13-4) into the NFC divisional round this weekend at Carolina. “This is fun, it’s been a long time coming,” Dawson said Tuesday. “To be around this kind of locker room and these kind of coaches, where this isn’t a surprise, this is expected, this is what everything’s geared for all year long, it’s fun to be a part of that.” Even given single-digit temperatures that made for challenging playing conditions, coach Jim Harbaugh said he would have let Dawson go for it with the game on the line from as far out as 53 yards. Dawson was thrilled he could kick from 20 yards closer. As steady as Dawson has been in his first season with San Francisco — delivering on 32 of 36 field goals and making a franchise-record 27 in a row before the streak ended Dec. 29 at Arizona — even he knew nothing was guaranteed kicking on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Dawson had long envisioned such a moment, unsure whether he would get his shot with a playoff game on the line. “I’d like to say yes, but you never really know,” Dawson said. “I’ve watched way too much playoff football at home. I’d see games, not necessarily all game-winning situations but a big kick would come up, maybe it was bad weather, a hostile environment or whatever the case may be, and I just quietly wondered, ‘I wonder how I would handle that?’ I put the work in to be prepared if that day ever came. It came for me Sunday, and it was fun to have an opportunity and experience winning with my teammates.” Dawson departed Cleveland after 14 seasons for a fresh, winning start out West. A fan favorite for the Browns, his former city is happy for him now as hard as it was to see Dawson go. “I was never bitter, I was very happy where I was, very grateful to play all the years I did in Cleveland,” he said. “I would have loved to experience this with the people there. That’s a city starved for playoff success. They’re going to get it someday, and I’ll be very happy for them when that day comes.” Now, the Niners are expected to re-sign him when his one-year contract expires. Dawson has said he would love to be back, while Harbaugh has said he will work on keeping Dawson around — saying a couple of weeks back, “Pay the man.” “I’m one of his biggest fans,” linebacker Patrick Willis said. “That guy is amazing.” Dawson wants to cherish this opportunity, realizing how fleeting success can be, perhaps even more so as an NFL specialist at this late stage of his career. “He continues to bring value each and every week,” tight end Vernon Davis said Tuesday. “He’s been clutch for us. I’m happy for him, and I’m happy to have him on this team as we continue to move forward. I look forward to seeing him help us.” Dawson, who turns 39 on Jan. 23, credits everyone for doing their job in such tough circumstances — from the offense getting him closer to rookie long snapper Kevin McDermott and holder Andy Lee. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s 11-yard run on third-and-8 set up Dawson’s winning kick, which was nearly blocked. “I think I walked away from that with the reality that every field goal, you’re inches away from it being blocked,” Dawson said. Once back in the locker room, Harbaugh and Dawson spent a quiet moment together following a team prayer. The coach could sense the importance of Dawson’s accomplishment to the kicker. “You could tell he’s just happier maybe than he’ll ever be and he’ll remember that for many years to come,” Harbaugh said. “The story the good man shall teach his son. And he’ll remember it. When he’s old, he’ll feel very good about that, what he accomplished. It was just a great moment. Just eye-to-eye looking, knee-to-knee looking at him.

They’ve made two of those winners, the Saints and Chargers, big underdogs on Saturday in the divisional round. Recent history has shown that home field usually is meaningful in these four games, with only one visitor winning in each of the past two seasons. Only twice since 2002, when the current setup began, has there been a sweep by the four hosts, though; never have all visiting clubs won in the divisional round. Such numbers should make everyone search for that one or two road squads who might pull off another win. We think we’ve found the right one: the thawed-out 49ers (13-4). “I haven’t found anything that makes you feel more like a man than to go, not only beat your opponent, but you’re beating their crowd, and then, the elements, in a playoff game,” says coach Jim Harbaugh, whose 49ers (No. 3, AP Pro32) won on the final play at frigid Green Bay in the opening round and are 2-point choices Sunday at Carolina (No. 4, AP Pro32). The Panthers (12-4) had one of their most impressive victories in a turnaround season when they won at San Francisco 10-9 on Nov. 10. Neither side has forgotten that defensive battle in which the 49ers lost tight end Vernon Davis and rookie safety Eric Reid to concussions. Plus, wide receiver Michael Crabtree was still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He’s back, as are Davis and Reid. “More dangerous,” Harbaugh said of his team. “Michael was not there for that game and Vernon was out of the game early with a concussion.” Dangerous — and headed for the NFC title game. BEST BET: 49ers, 23-16 No. 7 New Orleans (plus 8) at No. 1 Seattle, Saturday Now that they have the first road playoff win in franchise history, can the Saints (12-5) start a winning streak away from New Orleans. That’s not exactly a Big Easy for them in Seattle, where the Seahawks routed the Saints 34-7 on Dec. 2. Yes, the Seahawks lost their invincibility at CenturyLink Field by losing to Arizona three weeks ago. Contrary to the widespread opinion that it was an especially damaging defeat, we think it helped the Seahawks (13-3) recognize their vulnerability. They won’t slip up again, although this won’t be anything close to that previous romp. SEAHAWKS, 24-20 No. 8 Indianapolis (plus 7 1-2) at No. 5 New England, Saturday The stats might not show it, the reality does: This has been one terrific year for Tom Brady. Despite almost an entirely new crew of receivers, few of them proven, and with his favorite targets, Wes Welker (free agent signed by Denver) and Rob Gronkowski (injuries) not around, Brady guided the Patriots to a 12-4 record and yet another AFC East crown. The new guy in town will be Andrew Luck, who has that same look of stardom and indefatigability that Brady always has worn. Luck engineered that stunning comeback from a 28-point deficit against Kansas City last weekend. He’s in his second pro season. All Brady did was win a Super Bowl as an NFL sophomore. For Luck and the Colts (12-5) to replicate that feat, they can’t afford another slow start. Even if they start fast, though, Brady has shown this season that he is still the master of the rally to victory. PATRIOTS, 33-28 No. 3 San Diego (plus 10) at No. 2 Denver San Diego’s last road game during the season was a Thursday night win at Denver (13-3). That was a key to the run the Chargers (10-7) have staged to not only sneak off with the final wild-card spot in the AFC, but go into Cincinnati and win. �Thursday, January 9, 2014 The Daily Sentinel s Page 9 www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee RHYMES WITH ORANGE Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE by Dave Green By Hilary Price THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner By Bil and Jeff Keane Make the Switch to DISH Today and Save Up To 50% Call Now and Ask How! 1-800-401-1670 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Promotional prices g at only ... in rt a st FREE OVER 30 PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS mo. ths for 12 monHo pper th wi le gib eli t No or iPad 2 offer.

(AP) — A year ago, Denver roared into the playoffs riding an 11-game winning streak and promptly lost for the first time in 98 days. So much for momentum. This year, the Broncos are again 13-3 and the AFC’s top seed, two home wins away from the Super Bowl. Only, they’re far from the overconfident, sauntering unit they were at kickoff on that frigid day in Denver last January when the Baltimore Ravens would outlast them 38-35 in double-overtime. For one thing, the team they’re facing Sunday, the San Diego Chargers (10-7), beat them last month 27-20 in Denver, handing the highscoring Broncos their only home loss of the season. And the other teams left in the AFC playoffs also beat the Broncos this season, the Colts by six points in Peyton Manning’s homecoming in October and the Patriots by a field goal in Wes Welker’s return in November. Terrell Davis, the current NFL Network analyst who led the Broncos to their last Super Bowl win following the 1998 season, said the Broncos would have been better off last year if they had lost a game or two in November and December. “Last year, (I) just felt like they were winning games too easily and I always felt that there’s something to be said George Bridges | MCT Peyton Manning (18) of the Denver Broncos yells instructions to Julius Thomas (80) in a game last month against Houston. Manning came to Denver to win a Super Bowl, and team officials say last year’s early playoff loss has given them a different mindset this season. about a quality loss,” Davis said on a visit to Denver during training camp. “Not to say that you go out there and try to lose a game, but it’s a chance for the team to refocus, recalibrate, look at the things that you’ve been sweeping under the rug because you’ve been winning games.” Coming off their first Super Bowl title, the Broncos started out 13-0 in 1998 before back-to-back losses to the Giants and Dolphins. They won their last game before sweeping through the playoffs to win another title in John Elway’s farewell. It’s common for NFL teams that win to have “Victory Mondays,” when players are excused from mandatory practices or film sessions. It’s a chance for them to get both a physical and mental break. But Davis pointed out the downside of winning regularly: Mistakes can get glossed over and it sometimes takes a loss to make adjustments. Good teams can go months without that opportunity. Davis actually came to appreciate the Broncos’ 20-16 loss to the Giants that ended their shot at perfection in ‘98 because it gave them a chance to reflect, reboot and rectify. It’s something the Broncos didn’t have a chance to do last year when they won their last 11 after starting out 2-3. This season, the Broncos lost a game in October, one in November and one in December. “Victory Mondays” in Denver nowadays consist of team captains running the film sessions instead of coaches. But after a loss, it’s the coaches harping on all the mistakes. Wide receiver Eric Decker said errors look worse through the prism of a loss, and “you start to focus on details more. Maybe you correct certain things that in a win wouldn’t look so bad. You just really dissect it way differently.” Losses have a way of galvanizing a team, too. “Absolutely,” Welker said. “A lot of times when you win, a lot of the mistakes get shoved under the rug and when you lose they kind of get amplified. You really need to be on top of that stuff and not have those mistakes week to week.” 49ers face rematch with Panthers after 10-9 loss SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Bring on Carolina once more, and another cross-country playoff flight. The San Francisco 49ers are all for a rematch with the Panthers, even if it means hitting the road again this week to keep their latest postseason run going. “Onward now,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. The Panthers shut down San Francisco and quarterback Colin Kaepernick 10-9 at Candlestick Park on Nov. 10, snapping the Niners’ five-game winning streak. The 49ers lost the following week at New Orleans for their second two-game skid of the season, but have been on an impressive unbeaten roll in seven games since then after a 23-20 wild-card win Sunday at bitterly cold Green Bay. Now, the 49ers (13-4) get a second chance at Cam Newton and Co. in the NFC divisional playoffs Sunday. Now, they have a healthy, playmaking Michael Crabtree in the receiving corps. And true to his normal, succinct nature, Kaepernick offered this on Carolina: “We owe ‘em.” Added rookie linebacker Nick Moody on Twitter: “Rematch against Carolina next week.” Kaepernick went 11 for 22 for 91 yards with an interception and was sacked six times for a 42.0 passer rating in a rare poor performance. Both Kaepernick and Panthers quarterback Newton — drafted No. 1 overall in 2011 while Kaepernick was the sixth QB selected — will be eager to have much better games on the postseason stage. Newton went 16 of 32 for 169 yards, an interception and four sacks for a 52.7 rating. The Niners needed every ounce out of Kaepernick to get past Green Bay for the fourth straight time and second playoff victory in as many Januarys. “We’ve got a good bad-weather quarterback. I think we’ve established that,” Harbaugh said Monday. “Being able to throw a ball that pierces through the elements, the wind. He’s shown that in the rain, bad weather, footing, or elements of precipitation. He can pierce a defense with velocity and tightness of the spiral.” Not to mention with his long legs. Kaepernick’s 11-yard run on thirdand-8 set up Phil Dawson’s winning 33-yard field goal as time expired at Lambeau Field. No sleeves necessary for the tattooed quarterback playing in subzero temperatures, a Wisconsin native to the bone. And that No. 5 seed for the NFC West runner-ups? No matter. Kaepernick connected with a couple of his favorite playoff targets Sunday, completing eight passes for 125 yards to Crabtree and a 28-yard touchdown pass to tight end Vernon Davis in the fourth quarter against the Packers. Dawson deserved his share of the credit, too. On a day when no kick was a gimme, he came through with three field goals and the game-winner. fever Visit our website to show your grasp of the gridiron for a chance to win great prizes! Biggest kick ever? “It is right now,” Dawson said. “I’ve waited a long time to win a playoff game.” Harbaugh said he shared a special moment afterward with the kicker, looking at the joy in Dawson’s eyes — “You could tell he’s just happier maybe than he’ll ever be and he’ll remember that for many years to come.” Harbaugh, who brought in wrestler Ric Flair for an animated pep talk, became the first coach since 1970 to win 13 or more games, including the postseason, in each of his first three years. By the end of a fun flight home, he had turned his focus to the Panthers. In the last game against Carolina, the 49ers lost a pair of key players on either side of the ball to concussions — tight end Vernon Davis and rookie safety Eric Reid. And Kaepernick has come a long way since that loss two months ago that followed the bye week. “He’s a tough guy, and a quarterback like that, you’ll do whatever for him,” running back Frank Gore said. Having Crabtree back in the mix sure helps. The team’s top wideout from 2012 returned for the final five games of the regular season after recovering from a torn right Achilles tendon that required surgery in May. “More dangerous,” Harbaugh said. “Michael Crabtree was not there for that game and Vernon was out of the game early with a concussion.” Top performers Passing 506, Romo, DAL vs. DEN 10/06 (25-36, 5 TD) 488, M.
