Page 86 • The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, January 9, 2008 www.mrdailysentinel.com Joe Gibbs resigns as coach ofW~hington Re~skins after four years BY JosEPH WHITE ASSOCIATED PRESS ASHBURN, Va. - After the toughest season of his Hall of Fame career, Joe Gibbs knew he needed to walk away from his Washington Redskins family to be closer to his wife, chi Idren .atid grandchildren. He resigned as coach and team president of the Redskins on Tuesday, three .days after a playoff loss ended an inspirational lateseason run that followed the death of safety Sean Taylor. The 67-year-old Gibbs said Redskins owner Dan Snyder tried to persuade him to stay on during a con versation that lasted until about 2:30a.m. Tuesday. "My family situation being what it is right now, I told him I couldn' t make the kind of commitment I needed to make," Gibbs said during a news conference at the Redskins' practice facility, standing a few feet from the three silver Super Bow I trophies he won during his first tenure with the team. Spe.aking about bis family, Gibbs added: "I felt like they needed me.'' Gibbs did not go into specifics. But one of his grandsons, Taylor, was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago at age 2. Gibbs frequently talks lovingly about his "grandbabies," and he made an overnight ttip to Nonh Carolina on Sunday to be with his family, interrupting the postseason routine of meetings that usually follow the final game of the season. "I had real good visiis with everybody, and at that point when I staned back to D.C. and got on the plane that afternoon, I kind of had a real strong feeling in my hean of what I . felt like I should do," Gibbs said. He had one season left on the five-year, $27.5 million deal that lured him out of his first NFL retirement and away fn;>m his second career as a NASCAR owner. Now, instead of coachi!Jg, Gibbs will shift into a-role as an adviser to Snyder, saying: " I feel like this is my home, also." , · "I tried very, very hard to try to convince Joe not to retire," the owner said. "This est season, making reference Bills from 2001-03, but has the Redskins lost 35-14 at is something none of us to Taylor's shooting in put together solid defenses Seattle. wanted to see happen.

The Patriots are seeking the second perfect season in league history; only Miami, 17-0 in 1972, has gone through the regular schedule and the postseason unbeaten. Since Favre won Offensive Player in 1995, only two quarterbacks have taken the award: Manning with his record-setting 2004 · season, and now Brady in Manning's surpassing achievement. · Last year's winner was running back LaDainian Tomlinson of San Diego. Brady is the fourth straight double winner, joining Manning, running back Shaun Alexander of Seattle, andTomlinson. "If you go ask him ,he'd probably say the ~arne thing: all the individual · awards don't matter," Patriots running back Kevin Faulk said. "It's the team awards that matter, and with the te.am awards you get all the individual accolades." '• ·Colts safety Bob Sanders named NFL Defensive Player ofYe.ar BY MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATED PRESS ·INDIANAPOLIS - Bob Sanders wants to redefine the role of NFL safeties. He thinks they should cover receivers deep, lock up tight ends and running backs in man-to-man coverage; be versatile enough to play in nickel packages, stuff the run, and, yes, still carry that old, big-hitting label. A few more seasons like 2007 could turn Sanders into the league' s newest trendsetter. On Monday, Sanders was rewarded for his do-it-all style by becoming the first Colts' player to earn the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. "I think the league. is beginning to reco~nize that safeties are very Important to a good defense," Sanders said. "I think I'm only the fourth safety to ever win this award, and it's an aw.esome feeling to be in Ed Reed's shoes." · Reed, the 2004 honoree, was the last safety to win the award, and Sanders and Reed are the only safeties to win it since Seattle's Kenny Easley in 1984. Miami's Dick Anderson also won the award in 1973. The voting wasn't close. Less than two weeks after becoming the league's highest-J?aid safety, Sanders recetved 31 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL, easily outdistancing Seattle end Patrick Kerney and Tennessee tackle Albert Haynesworth . Kerney and Hayneswonh each got four votes. Sanders established career-highs in tackles (132 ), sacks (3 l/2) and interceptions (two) and became the uncontested leader in Indy's impressive defensive turnaround when three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney went down with a seasonending foot injury in midNovember. As opponents found out, Sanders never slowed down. dreamed of. playing running "He is a lot like Donnie back until his sophomore Shell and John Lynch," season at Iowa.

The Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has risen in the final· seven months .of 13 of ~e last 14 · pres1denqal electiOn years, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac. Those are odds anyone in Vegas would w~:~lcome, but this year's uncharted credit mess makes a repeat performance far from guaranteed. For much of the last half century, stocks have typically bottomed two years into a presidential term, · then rebounded in the third year and mllied again in the acltial election year. Some of those latter cycle gains have come because incumbent administrations wan! voters to be happy when they head to the polls, so they "shamelessly attempt to massage the economy so voters will keep them in power," said Jeffrey Hirsch, editor of. the Stock Trader's Almanac. . .This cycle has proved different so far. Stocks, as measured by the broad-market S&P 500, rose in 2005 and 2006, but then barely eked out a gain in 2007. climbing only 3.5 percent after big losses starting in October dragged down the index. Now, as the intensity of the presidential campaign ramps Such • news started investors' year off on a bad note. The first three days of trading saw. a 3.86 percent decline in the S&P 5QO - the second worst start ·ever, according to the data-trackers · at Bespoke Investment Group. . Whether that sets the tone for the rest of the xear now depends on how many things shake out. Most worrisome to investors are the unknowns related to the housin~ and mortgage l1llllket malruse. If credit standards remain tight an.d . the · financial industry contihues to be plagued by billions of dollars of losses on their subprime and other debt assets, this presidential year mir,ht not turn into a winner. ' Once there is some indication of where the bottom of the credit crisis might be, then the stock market will become more comfortable goin~ forward, but nor until then, ' said · Marshall Nickles, an economics professor at Pepperdine University's Graziadio . School of Business and Management who has studied · presidential election cycles in the stock market. Already economists are . talking about what the Bush administration will do to try to fix this mess. Enter the incumbent party's "massaging of the economy" that Hirsch talks about. In a speech on Monday, Treasury Secretary . Henry Paulson said that work is . up, serious headwinds are threatening to push the econo,my into a recession, which is ·putting stock investors on edge.

The real news out of Iowa was the record number attending Democratic caucuses more than double the number of Republicans. Had former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee run as a Democrat, for aample, he'd have placed a distant fourth. Meanwhj1e, the night's big GOP winner, according to the same pundits, was Sen. John McCain, who himself placed fourth.

But the oddsmakers didn't forget. They made the Patriots 13-point favorites for their first playoff game, at home Saturday night against Jacksonville. The Jaguars earned a trip to Fox borough by ·beating Pittsburgh 3 1-29 last week after losing an IS-point fourth-quarter lead. For a month now, the Jaguars have been considered a team equipped to give the Patriots a game, built for northern climes in January because they can rush the ball. Last Saturday night, t~e most important • run came from quarterback David Garrard, who went 32 yards on fourth-and-2 to set up Josh Scobee's. winning field goal. But ·otherwise, runnmg was a problem for the Jaguars . · · Garrard was their leading rusher. Fred Taylor averaged only 3 yards a carry and Maurice . Jones-Drew did most of hfs damage with a 96-yard kickoff return and a 43-yard run with a short pass· for a touchdown. Overall, Jacksonville had just 239 yards from scrimmage against a Pittsburgh defense at less than full strength. That won't work against the Patriots, who set an NFL record ihis season with 589 points - .almost 37 a game. In other words, to beat New England, you have to outscore it, something Jacksonville isn't equifJped to do. And listen to Jack Del Rio gush. ·"I think it's probably the greatest collection·· of talent in.coaching that's ever been assembled. I .think they've got really an all-star cast. I think f OU' ve got some cerlain Hall of Fame players." the Jacksonville coach said this week. "You've got a whole slew of all-stars and Pro Bowl-type guys and the coaching staff is very strong. We 've got a lot of respect for what they've been able to accomplish, not only this year, but over the last five or six years." Sounds like he doesn't expect to win . He's probably right.

It's held a news conference Monday, when he said, "l:m gotng to Congress, and I m going to tell t.he truth," and played a recording of a 17minute telephone conversation with McNamee that Clemens' side secretly taped . That' tape could be among the items requested by the committee, the same House panel that brought sluggers Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palnieiro to Capitol Hill in March 2005. No depositions were taken before that hearing. "We . are considering requests for information from all relevant sources," said Karen Li~htfoot, communications dtrector for the committee's chairman, California Democrat. Henry Waxman. McNamee's attorneys have urged the committee to obtain a recording of a conversation between his client and investigators who work for Clemens' law firm. That mt::eting took place Dec. 12, a day before the Mitchell Report was released. Pettitte acknow Iedged McNamee injected him twice with HGH. Radomski is alleged to have supplied McNamee · with pe~for­ mance-enhancing drugs. ''I' II be very interested to see the order of the depositions, whether we will be prbvided with other people's depositions when they are taken," Emery said. If the witnesses are allowed to see others' depositions, that could create an advantage for those testifying later in the process. Hardin said: "The one thing I want to make certain is, is that we don't educate McNamee as to which story to tell these days." McNamee reached · an agreement in which ·he would not be prosecuted .as long as he was truthful in what he told federal investigators and Mitchell. His lawyers will seek a similar agreement with the committee, Emery said. Marin declined to comment when asked about the possibility of immunity for congressional testimony. Before the committee's 2005 hearing, Jose Canseco whose book about steroids in baseball drew congressional scrutiny requested immunity but was turned down. The 45-year-old Clemens put off retirement yet again in 2007, returning to the Yankees in June and going 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA. The right-h,ander hasn' t said whether he will pitch in the majors in 2008. 2008 Meigs County Visitors Guide • Piano students present recital, A3 moth-ranked Chillicothe 51-28 • BY ERIC RANDOLPH SPORTS@MYOAILYSENTINELCOM GALLIPOLIS - Hannah Cunningham scored nine points, and Alexis Geiger added seven to go with a solid defensive game, but the Gallia Academy Blue Angels were defeated by the Chillicothe Lady Cavaliers 51-28 in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League South Di.vision basketball game on Wednesday night. The Blue Angels are now 3-8 on the season and 1-6 in the SEOAL South. The Lady Cavaliers. are 9-2 overall and 6-1 in the league. For three quarters, Gallia Academy gave Chillicothe all they could handle. In the fourth, the Lady Cavaliers ran away with it, resulting in a final score that was not indicative of just how competitive the game was. "Their talent, their experience overtook us (in the fourth)," said Gallia Academy head coach Jeff Duduit. "We had a great gameplan - proof of that was the first three quarters. Our kids did what we told them to do. It came down to execution." That gameplan allowed the Blue Angels to run with the ninth-ranked team in the state, keeping themselves within striking distance for the majority of the night. Gallia Academy led at one point late in the first quarter and was within two points or one point multiple times throughout. . Their collective defensive effort held Chillicothe's Monique Lee, who has been contacted by · at least one major Division I college, to 17 points. Seven of those. points came in the fourth quarter. · "The veteran part of them took over and our young Cunningham Geiger ' Angels in the form of turnovers and missed opportunities. The~ did not score _another pomt unttl Cunningham returned to the foul line with tliree minutes .left. By then the Lady Cavaliers had blown the game open with a 15-0 run. They added eight more before the end to put a very misleading final score on the board. Not disappointed in his team,,Duduit was appreciative of Chillicothe's head coach for approaching the Blue Angels after the game and complementing their · play, saying it meant a lot to them and hoping his team remembers to remain positive. Other scorers for Gallia Academy were Rachel Jones, Amy Noe, Kari Campbell, and Sam Barnes, who all scored two · points. Lee's 17 made her the leading scdrer for Chillicothe. The Gallia Academy junior varsiiy had better lt~ck against the Lady Cavaliers, winning 50-24. Morgan Daniels was the top scorer for the Blue Angels with 20 points. Megan Grow led Chillicothe with mistakes caught up to us," .stated Duduit. "I'm proud of my kids. They bit on the gameplan. They put the hard practice in. We wouldn't have done anything different, just ,execute a little better." , Up until the fourth it was anybody's game. The teams went basket for basket with each other in · the first quarter. Chillicothe grabbed the first lead, but it dido 't last. The teams wen; tied at four, six, eight, and '10 each, where they finished the quarter. In the second, the Blue Angels would go down by as many as four twice before getting back to within two.
