It was a stunning midseason move by the winningest men's coach in major college basketball, who gav\! no hint a change was coming. Pat Knight, a Red Raiders assistant, was appointed his father's successor in 2005. "There's a transition that's going to take place here from me to Pat and I've dwelt on this all year long ... how it would be best for him · and for the team and for what we can do in the long run to make this the best thing for Texas Tech," Knight told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, which first reported the resigna· tion. The 67-year-old Knight informed Texas Tech athlet· ic director Gerald Myers of his decision in a meeting around noon Monday, Texas Tech chancellor Kent Hance told The Associated Press. Kriight then called Hance and told him. "He's ready," Pat Knight said during his weekly radio show. "He's tired." Hance said: "I · think Bob is through with coaching. I think he got to the point where it wasn't fun fur him. "He thought about it Sunday all day and talked to his wife' and decided 'This is something I want to do."' Knight told the news paper he informed the team before practice Monday. · The Red Raiders .beat Oklahoma State 67-60 on Saturday, giving Kni ght his 902nd victory. He won national titles at Indiana in 1976, '81 and '87. "I,. guess you can never be sutpFised at some of the things Bob does," former UCLA coach Jnhn Wooden told the AP.

NCAA president Myles Brand the former Indiana Unive~sity president wh.o fired Knight, declined to comment on the resignation, spokesman Erik Christianson said Monday night.

RACINE - The National Weather Service in Charleston, W.Va. has forecasted tlie Ohio River will reach flood stage at Racine this week, which may also result in the water reaching flood stage in Pomeroy. As of yesterday afternoon, the NWS forecasted the Ohio River will reach flood stage at the Racine Locks and Dam on Thursday. Flood stage is 41 feet. The river is expected to crest at 43.3 feet on Friday at Racine. If these predictions hold true, that puts the river cresting in Pomeroy at just over 46 feet which is flood stage. At 46.5 feet, the water is on the streets in downtown and at 48 feet downtown businesses start to flood. To put those numbers .in perspective for the Rat:ine area, normally when the Ohio River reaches 41 feet, Ohio 124 at Antiquity starts to flood and areas of Ravenswood, W.Va. are flooded upstream from the Racine locks. At 42 feet Ohio 124 near Minersville is !loaded. At. 44 feet W.Va. 62 is flooded just below the Racine Locks at West Creek, as well a~ more areas along Ohio 124.

Myisha Ferrell said she ·went with Bobby Cutts Jr. to a park · where he dumped Jessie Marie Davis' body, and that he coached }ler on what to teli investigators later. Her voice shook when she testified about what she saw as Cutts took out the body, . which was wrapped in a blanket. "Her feet," she said. "I dido't wanno see nothing else'" ·Ferrell is a key witness against Cutts, who could face the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder. Prosecutors say Cutts, who was feeling the pressure of his crumbling marriage, financial debt and supporting several children, strangled Davis in her home and disposed of her body with Ferrell. The 2-year-old son Cutts had with Davis was found home alone. C1.1tts led investigators to . Davis' body, but the defense says. he had nothing to do with her death. Cutts, 30, a former Canton patrolman, has ,pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and other charges in the death of Davis and her female fetus. Thousands searched for Davis in the area surrounding her northeast Ohio home in the days she was missing after her June death. ··Ferrell was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to lying to authorities and complicity to gross abuse of a corpse. She testified Tuesday that she was high from drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana all night when Cutts showed up at her hous.e after 6 a.m. June 14. Cutts looked nervous that day, like she'd never seen him before, she said. · · After Cutts told Ferrell the body was in his truck bed, she asked him what happened.

BYTHEBEND Community C.~lendar . Large number of Ohioans want paper ballots COLUMBUS (AP) - A large portion of voters say they .would prefer a paper ballot for the presidential primary, raising the question. of whether some polling sites might run out of those ballots, a newspaper reported Tuesday. As part of her efforts to overhaul Ohio's election systems, Secretary of State _Jennifer Brunner has ordered that the 56 Ohio counties using touch-screen voting machines make paper ballots available to people who want them. She said counties must print enough of the ballots for 10 percent of the people who voted in the last presidential election. One county has decided to take Brunner to court .over her paper-ballot- mandate. Union County filed suit in county court Tuesday in what is the most aggressive action taken to date against Brunner's efforts. . A recent poll by The Columbus Dispatch found that 54 percent of :Ohio's Democratic voters and 38 percent of Republicans would prefer to vote on the paper ballots, which are marked by voters then tabulated by a scanning machine. High turnout is expected on March 4 now that Ohio's primary could prove vital in selecting the presidentil\1 nominees. Sens.

My mother died a few years ago, and my grandmother short ly after, so life has been difticult lately. '· Here is my problem: I' m gay and still in .the closet to friend s and fami ly: At my age, single and never having dated , people have pretty much put two and two together, but I was raised to !hink thi s is not an acceptable lifestyle . If l were to come out pub)icly, I believe I would be made an outcast by my family and church. . The church 1 attend (which I love attending) does not accept gays. The official outlook is "hate the sin but love the sinner," which means I'd have to stop being gay to be accept. ed. It makes me feel I'm losing my connection to God and that breaks my heart. Annie , I didn 't wake up one morning, decide 1 was tired of being heterosexual and switch over. This is all I've ever known. To make matters worse, I was recently diagnosed as HfV-po>it ive. I have found a man 1 would like to spend my life with and he has been extremely accepting of my positive diagnosis. His family has accepted . his sexual orientation, but he doesn't attend church.

Dear Nicole: It's p,erfectly natural to be afraid and it can take a long time for that fear to dissipate. What you need to be concerned about is whether or not the fear affects your ability to attend school, socialize with friends and generally get on with your life. If you are having difficulty functioning, . counseling can help. However, you sound perfectly functional to us, so the next time a plane nies overhead, we suggest you simply acknowledge the fear and just keep on going.

Most of the women I've dated have grown children, and once they become aware of my responsibilities and time constraints, they quickly lose interest in exploring a relationship with me. I haven't necessarily consigned myself to a solitary life , but 1am now aware that wanting a relationship unfettered by child resp01isibilities is not exclusively a male trait. -.Wilmington, N.C. Dear N.C.: Of course you are right. But you must be realistic about your particular situation.

O .H IO ' Wednesday, February 6, ·200_8 Witness: Ex-cop accused of murder 'kind of used his arm' BY JOE MIUCIA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' I CANTON - A longtime friend of a former police officer charged with murder testified Tuesday that the defendant picked her up in his truck one morning and told her the body of his young son's pregnant mother was in the back . Myisha Ferrell said she ·went with Bobby Cutts Jr. to a park · where he dumped Jessie Marie Davis' body, and that he coached }ler on what to teli investigators later. Her voice shook when she testified about what she saw as Cutts took out the body, . which was wrapped in a blanket. "Her feet," she said. "I dido't wanno see nothing else'" ·Ferrell is a key witness against Cutts, who could face the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder. Prosecutors say Cutts, who was feeling the pressure of his crumbling marriage, financial debt and supporting several children, strangled Davis in her home and disposed of her body with Ferrell. The 2-year-old son Cutts had with Davis was found home alone. C1.1tts led investigators to . Davis' body, but the defense says. he had nothing to do with her death. Cutts, 30, a former Canton patrolman, has ,pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and other charges in the death of Davis and her female fetus. Thousands searched for Davis in the area surrounding her northeast Ohio home in the days she was missing after her June death. ··Ferrell was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to lying to authorities and complicity to gross abuse of a corpse. She testified Tuesday that she was high from drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana all night when Cutts showed up at her hous.e after 6 a.m. June 14. Cutts looked nervous that day, like she'd never seen him before, she said. · · After Cutts told Ferrell the body was in his truck bed, she asked him what happened. COLUMBUS (AP) - A man who videotaped himself in sex acts with girls has been sentenced to 15 life prison terms for rape and other charges. Richard Enyart, 44, of Columbus, will serve at least 365 years before lie's elig!ble for parole. · · Enyart pleade<:l no contest and was found guilty to 14 counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, 18 counts of gross sexual imposition and additional charges of pandering obscenity, pornography involving minors and tampering with evidence.

Large number of Ohioans want paper ballots COLUMBUS (AP) - A large portion of voters say they .would prefer a paper ballot for the presidential primary, raising the question. of whether some polling sites might run out of those ballots, a newspaper reported Tuesday. As part of her efforts to overhaul Ohio's election systems, Secretary of State _Jennifer Brunner has ordered that the 56 Ohio counties using touch-screen voting machines make paper ballots available to people who want them. She said counties must print enough of the ballots for 10 percent of the people who voted in the last presidential election. One county has decided to take Brunner to court .over her paper-ballot- mandate. Union County filed suit in county court Tuesday in what is the most aggressive action taken to date against Brunner's efforts. . A recent poll by The Columbus Dispatch found that 54 percent of :Ohio's Democratic voters and 38 percent of Republicans would prefer to vote on the paper ballots, which are marked by voters then tabulated by a scanning machine. High turnout is expected on March 4 now that Ohio's primary could prove vital in selecting the presidentil\1 nominees. Sens.

My mother died a few years ago, and my grandmother short ly after, so life has been difticult lately. '· Here is my problem: I' m gay and still in .the closet to friend s and fami ly: At my age, single and never having dated , people have pretty much put two and two together, but I was raised to !hink thi s is not an acceptable lifestyle . If l were to come out pub)icly, I believe I would be made an outcast by my family and church. . The church 1 attend (which I love attending) does not accept gays. The official outlook is "hate the sin but love the sinner," which means I'd have to stop being gay to be accept. ed. It makes me feel I'm losing my connection to God and that breaks my heart. Annie , I didn 't wake up one morning, decide 1 was tired of being heterosexual and switch over. This is all I've ever known. To make matters worse, I was recently diagnosed as HfV-po>it ive. I have found a man 1 would like to spend my life with and he has been extremely accepting of my positive diagnosis. His family has accepted . his sexual orientation, but he doesn't attend church. I know counseling wou,ld help, but I can't afford it. Who can! talk to confidentially about being a closeted, HIV-posi!ive g~y rnan who doesn' t want to lose hi s faith or family? - Lost and Confused Dear Lost: You didn't specify your church 's denomination, so we recommend Dignity (dignityusa.org) at 1-800877-8797 for Catholics; the Gay Chri>.tian Network (gaychristian. net), P.O.

Good luck. Dear Annie: I arn going. to fashion school in New York and I absolutely love it here. The problem is, I never feel safe because of what happened on 9111. Every time a plane tlies overhead, I freak out. A lot of rny friends make furi of me for it, even though they say they are scared, too. Any suggestions?- Nicole in N.Y. . . . Dear Nicole: It's p,erfectly natural to be afraid and it can take a long time for that fear to dissipate. What you need to be concerned about is whether or not the fear affects your ability to attend school, socialize with friends and generally get on with your life. If you are having difficulty functioning, . counseling can help. However, you sound perfectly functional to us, so the next time a plane nies overhead, we suggest you simply acknowledge the fear and just keep on going. Dear Annie: I have frequently hem;d the lament of single mothers who .are unable to attract suitors because men are scared .off by the prospect of taking on the responsibility of their children. I have found that the shoe. fits equally well on the other foot. I am a 52-year-old single dad with a 17-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son who is autistic and bipolar. Most of the women I've dated have grown children, and once they become aware of my responsibilities and time constraints, they quickly lose interest in exploring a relationship with me. I haven't necessarily consigned myself to a solitary life , but 1am now aware that wanting a relationship unfettered by child resp01isibilities is not exclusively a male trait. -.Wilmington, N.C. Dear N.C.: Of course you are right. But you must be realistic about your particular situation. It will take a sp,ecial wornan to accept the challenge of helping raise a teenage boy who is autistic and bipolar. We hope you rind her.

Today we know the war was not and is not lost. It is not lost in large part because Washington leaders like George W. Bush, McCain and Joe Lieberman, among others, wouldn't let the Democrats force them into defeat and withdraw from Iraq prematurely. ' The real proponents of not finishing the job we started are the Democrats who either McCain or Romney will face before long. Flashback to last spring, and most memorably 'and infuriatingly to last September, and you' II remember the. left-wing, , anti war group MoveOn running the reprehensible "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" ad. They .accused this American hero of "Cooking the Books for the White House" in making his case for the inprogress surge of troops on the ground in Iraq. Hillary Clinton, during Petraeus' Senate testimony at the time, accused him of lying to the Senate. Clinton said that believing his cautiously optimistic report required a "willing suspension of disbelief." The president of the United States is the commander in chief of our armed forces. If he or she does nothing else, we need the president to take that responsibility seriously. Yet Clinton, who originally authorized the war in Iraq, publicly undercut our military efforts there, in the face of the commander of our troops. It was a disgrace. . And what's the other choice on the Democratic side? Barack Obama, who opposed the war in Iraq. Unlike Clinton, who changed her mind when the war became unpopular, he's been consistently against !I" important front in this war on terror. Neither has shown a serious understanding of the threat we face. We're in a war we didn't choose to be in .but rose to the occasion. Today, we're not losing in Iraq because the president of the United States, as one senior administration official put it recently to me, "had the courage and determination to stick it out under tremendously difficult circumstances." We need that kind of leader in the White House. I understand why McCain is hostile toward Romney. I believe it's about more than him wanting to be president. McCain and his family have served their nation valiantly, and when he looks at Romney he sees a man who didn't serve, wbose sons didn't serve and who didri't take the bold stand he did last year on the surge. But serving heroically does not entitle you to be president, nor does . not serving disqualify you. And when you consider the options that . will be before us this fall, there are clear choices. But McCain muddies that clarity when he dishonestly pretends that Romney was on the Democratic side last year. Let me be cle~r: Romney was not the bold surge leader that McCain was. The Arizona senator deserves credit for his position, an unpopular one at the time. However, while Romney was cautious, he wasn't the opposition. The Democrats who are the road to the White House today were and are the·opposition. Reagan's lith commandment - Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican - was primari- · ly about judgment and perspective. Don't beat too hard on your teammates; ultimately, you're on the . same side. McCain's attack on Romney l;>lurs the dis·tinctions on a fundamental issue of this war: Who is ·qualified to be commander in chief? Who is on the side of responsibility and victory? The answers can be found on the right side of . the race, not the left. (Kathryn Lopez is the editor of National Review Online (www.nationalreview.com).

Americans, Republicans especially, need a little perspective. In the · days before Super Tuesday, as the race for the GOP nomination became John McCain's to lose, McCain continued his dishonest and dishonorable attacks against Mitt Romney. In a debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, he continued to insist, as he had just before the Florida primary, that Romney was on the side of defeat in Iraq. McCain's criticism is that during a TV intervie)Y last year, Romney endorsed the idea of private timetables between the United States and Iraq. This is not incon- · sistent with proposals McCain himself has consid" ered. But McCain remembers that the word "time'table" was a Beltway buzzword last year for withdrawing from Iraq. Getting out of Iraq, however, is not what Romney was talking al\out. The fact that the two of them are squabbling so much is a ridiculous distraction. Instead of letting it . go after everyone, ·from the · Associated Press and The New York Times to conservative talk-show host and lawyer Mark Levin, revealed McCain's attack to be disingenuous, McCain continued to focus like a laser on Romney.

Today we know the war was not and is not lost. It is not lost in large part because Washington leaders like George W. Bush, McCain and Joe Lieberman, among others, wouldn't let the Democrats force them into defeat and withdraw from Iraq prematurely. ' The real proponents of not finishing the job we started are the Democrats who either McCain or Romney will face before long. Flashback to last spring, and most memorably 'and infuriatingly to last September, and you' II remember the. left-wing, , anti war group MoveOn running the reprehensible "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" ad. They .accused this American hero of "Cooking the Books for the White House" in making his case for the inprogress surge of troops on the ground in Iraq. Hillary Clinton, during Petraeus' Senate testimony at the time, accused him of lying to the Senate. Clinton said that believing his cautiously optimistic report required a "willing suspension of disbelief." The president of the United States is the commander in chief of our armed forces. If he or she does nothing else, we need the president to take that responsibility seriously. Yet Clinton, who originally authorized the war in Iraq, publicly undercut our military efforts there, in the face of the commander of our troops. It was a disgrace. . And what's the other choice on the Democratic side? Barack Obama, who opposed the war in Iraq. Unlike Clinton, who changed her mind when the war became unpopular, he's been consistently against !I" important front in this war on terror. Neither has shown a serious understanding of the threat we face. We're in a war we didn't choose to be in .but rose to the occasion. Today, we're not losing in Iraq because the president of the United States, as one senior administration official put it recently to me, "had the courage and determination to stick it out under tremendously difficult circumstances." We need that kind of leader in the White House. I understand why McCain is hostile toward Romney. I believe it's about more than him wanting to be president. McCain and his family have served their nation valiantly, and when he looks at Romney he sees a man who didn't serve, wbose sons didn't serve and who didri't take the bold stand he did last year on the surge. But serving heroically does not entitle you to be president, nor does . not serving disqualify you. And when you consider the options that . will be before us this fall, there are clear choices. But McCain muddies that clarity when he dishonestly pretends that Romney was on the Democratic side last year. Let me be cle~r: Romney was not the bold surge leader that McCain was. The Arizona senator deserves credit for his position, an unpopular one at the time. However, while Romney was cautious, he wasn't the opposition. The Democrats who are the road to the White House today were and are the·opposition. Reagan's lith commandment - Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican - was primari- · ly about judgment and perspective. Don't beat too hard on your teammates; ultimately, you're on the . same side. McCain's attack on Romney l;>lurs the dis·tinctions on a fundamental issue of this war: Who is ·qualified to be commander in chief? Who is on the side of responsibility and victory? The answers can be found on the right side of . the race, not the left. (Kathryn Lopez is the editor of National Review Online (www.nationalreview.com).

Americans, Republicans especially, need a little perspective. In the · days before Super Tuesday, as the race for the GOP nomination became John McCain's to lose, McCain continued his dishonest and dishonorable attacks against Mitt Romney. In a debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, he continued to insist, as he had just before the Florida primary, that Romney was on the side of defeat in Iraq. McCain's criticism is that during a TV intervie)Y last year, Romney endorsed the idea of private timetables between the United States and Iraq. This is not incon- · sistent with proposals McCain himself has consid" ered. But McCain remembers that the word "time'table" was a Beltway buzzword last year for withdrawing from Iraq. Getting out of Iraq, however, is not what Romney was talking al\out. The fact that the two of them are squabbling so much is a ridiculous distraction.

W~ITER WASHINGTON A federal appeals court on Tuesday threw out arl agreement that Georgia reached with the Army Corps of · Engineers for water rights to a major federal reservoir outside Atlanta, handing Alabama and Florida a 'major victory in the states' years-long water wars.

Corps would give Georgia about a quarter of Lake Lanier's capacity over the coming decades and is the foundation of Georgia· s longteflll plan~ for supplying drinking water to the rapidly growing Atlanta region. Alabama and Florida challenged the pact, arguing that Georgia doesn ' t have any legal right to the federal reservoir, which was initial- ly built for hydropower. The withdrawals would dry up .river flows into their states that support smaller municipalities , power plants, commercial fisheries and industrial users like 11aper mills. A district court earlier ruled in Georgia's favor, but the U.S. Coun of Appeals in Washington overtumed that decision Tue~day, saying that the agreement constituted a major operational change at the reservoir that requires congressional approval.

W~ITER WASHINGTON A federal appeals court on Tuesday threw out arl agreement that Georgia reached with the Army Corps of · Engineers for water rights to a major federal reservoir outside Atlanta, handing Alabama and Florida a 'major victory in the states' years-long water wars. The 2003 agreement with . the . Corps would give Georgia about a quarter of Lake Lanier's capacity over the coming decades and is the foundation of Georgia· s longteflll plan~ for supplying drinking water to the rapidly growing Atlanta region. Alabama and Florida challenged the pact, arguing that Georgia doesn ' t have any legal right to the federal reservoir, which was initial- ly built for hydropower. The withdrawals would dry up .river flows into their states that support smaller municipalities , power plants, commercial fisheries and industrial users like 11aper mills. A district court earlier ruled in Georgia's favor, but the U.S. Coun of Appeals in Washington overtumed that decision Tue~day, saying that the agreement constituted a major operational change at the reservoir that requires congressional approval.

In only two years, Sanchez has "gone from being a utility infielder to an NL batting champion and a two-time All-Star. He was rewarded Tuesday with an $11 million, two-year contract that includes a 2010 option that could make the deal worth $18.4 million. ''That first year of free agency is big for us," general manager Neal Huntington said. "It's not .a drastically undervalued free agency year, but it is o~e that gives us cost certainty if Freddy continues to go out and exceed · expectations and perform at a high level." The contract allowed the 2006 NL hatring champion to avoid an arbitration hearing. Sanchez, who made $2.75 million last season. sought $4.9 miilion and the team offered $4.1 million. The 30-year-old Sanchez dido "t become an everyday player until a month into the 2006 season but went on to win the batting title with a .344 average. It was the highest average by a Pirates regular since Roberto Clemente hit .345 in 1969. Sanchez also drove in 85 .runs despite liitting only six • homers. "A few years ago I was a utility guy, coming off the Eric Randolph/photo Eastern's Jake Lynch (10) attempts a three-point field goal over a Waterford defender dur- . bench." Sanchez said.

In only two years, Sanchez has "gone from being a utility infielder to an NL batting champion and a two-time All-Star. He was rewarded Tuesday with an $11 million, two-year contract that includes a 2010 option that could make the deal worth $18.4 million. ''That first year of free agency is big for us," general manager Neal Huntington said. "It's not .a drastically undervalued free agency year, but it is o~e that gives us cost certainty if Freddy continues to go out and exceed · expectations and perform at a high level." The contract allowed the 2006 NL hatring champion to avoid an arbitration hearing. Sanchez, who made $2.75 million last season. sought $4.9 miilion and the team offered $4.1 million. The 30-year-old Sanchez dido "t become an everyday player until a month into the 2006 season but went on to win the batting title with a .344 average. It was the highest average by a Pirates regular since Roberto Clemente hit .345 in 1969. Sanchez also drove in 85 .runs despite liitting only six • homers. "A few years ago I was a utility guy, coming off the Eric Randolph/photo Eastern's Jake Lynch (10) attempts a three-point field goal over a Waterford defender dur- . bench." Sanchez said.

' �• www.mydailysentinel.com Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, February 6, 2008 Roger Clemens says he repeats denials under oath to congressional lawyers BY HOWARD fENDRICH ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON- Roger Clemens said he told Congress exactly what he's been saying, over and over again, in various settings, ever since the Mitchell Report carny out. This time, though, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner was speaking under oath. Wearing a pinstriped gray suit instead of a pinstriped New York Yankees uniform, Clemens delivered his most meaningful denial of drug use yet Tuesday, meeting behind closed doors for ftve hours with lawyers from the Committee on House Oversight and Government Reform. "! just want to thank the committee, the staff that 1 just met with. They were very courteous," Clemens said in brief remarks after his sworn deposition. "It was great to be able to tell them what [' ve been saying all along -. that I've never used steroids or growth hormone." It was the first time Clemens faced legal risk if he were to make false statements. Home run king Barry Bonds, another player linked to steroid use, was indicted in November on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice for telling a grand jury in 2003 that he didn't knowingly take performance-enhancing drugs. In the I 1/2 months since former Senate majority leader George Mitchell released his report on drug use in baseball, Clemens strongly and repeatedly · denied what his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, said - in statements by his lawyers, in a written statement, in a video statement, during a taped TV interview and in a live ·news conference. , This time, Clemens spoke with staffers from the same House panel that - after the Mitchell Report came out ·_ asked the Justice Departme'nt to look . into whether 2002 ,.._L MVP . Miguel Tejada lied when he told committee investigators in 2005 that he never took performance· enhancers and had no . knowledge of other players using or talking about steroids. The FBI's field office in Washington is handling that mquuy. ."Roger hasn't declined to answer a single question since this matter began, and he was completely forthcoming;" one of Clemens' lawyers, Lanny Breuer, told The Associated Press. Clemens, · Breuer said, ''answered every question that was posed to him today and we very much· appreciate the committee giving him that opportunity." · Clemens' private testimony came the day after his Yankees teammate and workout partner, Andy Pettitte, gave a deposition to committee staff for 2 112 hours. Both players' interviews were there in preparation for a Feb. 13 public hearing expected to· focus on McNamee's allegations in the Mitchell Report that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with human growth hormone and steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001. Clemens acknowledged he received injections from McNamee, but he said they were for vitamin B·12 -and the painkiller lidocaine. His repeated rejection of contents in the Mitchell Report drew Congress' attention. McNamee also told Mitchell he injected Pettitte with HGH. Pettitte acknowledged two day.s after the report was released that he did try H5H for two days in 2002 to help deal with an elbow injury. Clemens, Pettitte and McNamee all are slated to testify Feb. 13. "I look forward to being here, I guess in this room, next week," Clemens said in his 25-'s econd statement after the deposition. McNamee is to meet with committee lawyers Thursday for a deposition. Richard Emery, one of McNamee's lawyers, said McNamee was not granted immunity by the committee; the trainer wanted the same protection he received from federal prosecutors, covering his admission about distributing steroids. "There's no immunity," Emery said. "We will just go in and testify under oath." · . Committee staffers would not discuss any specifics of Clemens' deposition. But one committee mem- ASSOCIATED PRESS AP pl\olo Former New York Yankees pitcher .and Cy Young winner Roger Clemens walks on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday after being deposed before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee which is· investigating steroids and HGH use in professional baseball. ber who sat in on about an hour of the deposition, California Republican Darrell lssa, characterized Clemens as "can.did." "He answered fully every question while I was there," Issa told The Associated Press. The congressman also said the deposition raised questions in his mind about whether the Mitchell Report accurately reflected how pervasive steroid use· has been in baseball, a subject he expects to be addressed in next week's committee hearing. A former Yankees teammate of Pettitte and Clemens, Chuck Knoblauch, spoke to committee staff Friday. The day before, an employee of the sports agency that represents Clemens and Pettitte was interviewed. Former New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski, is to speak to committee lawyers Feb. 12.

Only the "MASH" series finale in 1983, with 106 million viewers, was seen by more people, Nielsen Media Research said Mortday.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning won bragging rights over his brother: 'Last y.ear's win by Peyton Manning's .

Manning was set to appear. on David Letterman's "Lat.: Show" on Monday, but travel delays in A~izona pushed his appearance back to Wednesday. An eye--popping 81 percent of all TV sets on in .the Boston area Sunday were tuned in to the game. In Ne~ York, the audience share was 67 percent. There were signs even before game time that Fox could be headed for a record. The opportunity for a team to make history with football's first 19-0 record was a powerful draw. The Giants and Patriots also had a tight conte st in late December that drew strong ratings. The Giants' underdog run had also captivated the nation 's largest media mar" ket, making up for the only potential weakness in the event as a drawin~ card: the lack of geograph1cal diversity in the competing teams. There were past Super Bowls with higher ratings, topped by the 1982 game bet\\'een San Francisco and Cincinnati (49.1 rating, 73 share). That indicates a larger percentage of homes ' were with televisions watching the game. But since the American population has increase~. along with the number of people with TV s, the actual number of people watching this · year was higher. The Giants-Patriots game's actual rating (43.2 rating, 65 share) was the highest for any Super Bowl since 2000. That means 43 percent of the nation's TV sets · were tuned in to the game, and 65 percent of the TV sets that were turned on were watching football. • l.!psets fromPageBl blocked shots.

O'Neal is prepared for the · .Miami Heat to trade him, a ' :confidant of the 14-time All-Star ceater told The · Associated Press on : Tuesday night. O'Neal's associate, who spoke on · condition of ., anonymity because he was vnot authorized to. reveal ::anything publicly, indicated :· a ·move could be imminent. ·; ~ "Shaq thinks something : 1\'ill happen ," the associate '· said. . · The Miami Herald reported earlier Tuesday that the Heat are in "serious and ongoing" trade negotiations ·. with the Phoenix Suns, and ·t]]e South Florida SunSentinel said the deal could Qccur "within 48 hours." A Heat spokesman said the team had no comment, and several Suns officials didn't immediately return phone calls from the AP. The Herald report said the Suns would send Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami in exchange for 0' Neal, who is averaging a career-low 14.2 points and has been sidelined for the past two weeks by a lingermg hip injury. Multiple media outlets reported late Tuesday night, citing uni-dentified sources, that O' Neal would be m Phoenix ·to undergo a physical on Wednesday. The team pushed back its shootaround, originally scheduled for 9:45 a.m. MST to -4:45 p.m., shortly before the Suns play New Orleans. The Arizona Republic also reported a deal could be imminent and that O'Neal had contacted· some Suns players Tuesday night. When asked last week about another report that a Shaq trade was ' possible, Heat coach ·Pat Riley said, uNot true." But when the Los Angeles Lakers struck a deal with Memphis last week for 7footer Pau Gasol and instantly strengthened their lineup, there's been constant speculation about how other Western Conference teams would respond. And a Shaq-to-the-Suns deal would 9ertainly create plenty of buzz. "Really?" said the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, O'Neal's former teammate, when told of the apparently pending deal. "I know he likes the warm weather." It isn't' known if O'Neal -·who has two full seasons remaining after this one on his $100 million, five-year contract- would welcome · a trade. It also isn't known if the Heat would seek to add guard Smush Parker, who's been on the inactive list for months because of an unresolved le~al issue, to the deal. Otherwtse, making a 2-for-1 trade w.ould force Miami to cut another player for roster room. A four-time NBA cham pion, O' Neal entered this season talking about how . he wanted to win at least one more title, saying his "!egacy" wouldn't be complete unless he left the game with at least five rings. If he's going to get No. 5 this year, he'd have to go elsewhere. The Heat have lost 19 of their last 20. games and have the NBA's worst record at 9-37 -, · meaning the 2006 NBA champions are almost a lock to miss ihe postseason. Phoenix , , meanwhile. entered Tuesday with a I 112-game lead over New Orleans and Dallas in the race for the best record in the Western Conference . To this point, O'Neal's year has been largely forgettablc. Miami's record has plummeted, O'Neil is g()ing through a divorce and his scoring average is nearly II 112 points below his 25.6 career mark. He suffered a bruised hip on IJec . 22 and has missed four of the past five weeks while trying to recover. It 's his second straight difficult season: o· Neal missed much of the 2001>-07 campaign with a knee injury and finished that year with career-lows in games (40), scoring ( 17.3 point s), rebounds (7.4), minutes (28.4) and free -throw percentage (.422).

This time, though, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner was speaking under oath. Wearing a pinstriped gray suit instead of a pinstriped New York Yankees uniform, Clemens delivered his most meaningful denial of drug use yet Tuesday, meeting behind closed doors for ftve hours with lawyers from the Committee on House Oversight and Government Reform. "! just want to thank the committee, the staff that 1 just met with. They were very courteous," Clemens said in brief remarks after his sworn deposition. "It was great to be able to tell them what [' ve been saying all along -. that I've never used steroids or growth hormone." It was the first time Clemens faced legal risk if he were to make false statements. Home run king Barry Bonds, another player linked to steroid use, was indicted in November on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice for telling a grand jury in 2003 that he didn't knowingly take performance-enhancing drugs. In the I 1/2 months since former Senate majority leader George Mitchell released his report on drug use in baseball, Clemens strongly and repeatedly · denied what his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, said - in statements by his lawyers, in a written statement, in a video statement, during a taped TV interview and in a live ·news conference. , This time, Clemens spoke with staffers from the same House panel that - after the Mitchell Report came out ·_ asked the Justice Departme'nt to look . into whether 2002 ,.._L MVP . Miguel Tejada lied when he told committee investigators in 2005 that he never took performance· enhancers and had no . knowledge of other players using or talking about steroids. The FBI's field office in Washington is handling that mquuy. ."Roger hasn't declined to answer a single question since this matter began, and he was completely forthcoming;" one of Clemens' lawyers, Lanny Breuer, told The Associated Press. Clemens, · Breuer said, ''answered every question that was posed to him today and we very much· appreciate the committee giving him that opportunity." · Clemens' private testimony came the day after his Yankees teammate and workout partner, Andy Pettitte, gave a deposition to committee staff for 2 112 hours. Both players' interviews were there in preparation for a Feb. 13 public hearing expected to· focus on McNamee's allegations in the Mitchell Report that he injected Clemens more than a dozen times with human growth hormone and steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001. Clemens acknowledged he received injections from McNamee, but he said they were for vitamin B·12 -and the painkiller lidocaine. His repeated rejection of contents in the Mitchell Report drew Congress' attention. McNamee also told Mitchell he injected Pettitte with HGH. Pettitte acknowledged two day.s after the report was released that he did try H5H for two days in 2002 to help deal with an elbow injury. Clemens, Pettitte and McNamee all are slated to testify Feb. 13. "I look forward to being here, I guess in this room, next week," Clemens said in his 25-'s econd statement after the deposition. McNamee is to meet with committee lawyers Thursday for a deposition. Richard Emery, one of McNamee's lawyers, said McNamee was not granted immunity by the committee; the trainer wanted the same protection he received from federal prosecutors, covering his admission about distributing steroids. "There's no immunity," Emery said. "We will just go in and testify under oath." · . Committee staffers would not discuss any specifics of Clemens' deposition. But one committee mem- ASSOCIATED PRESS AP pl\olo Former New York Yankees pitcher .and Cy Young winner Roger Clemens walks on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday after being deposed before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee which is· investigating steroids and HGH use in professional baseball. ber who sat in on about an hour of the deposition, California Republican Darrell lssa, characterized Clemens as "can.did." "He answered fully every question while I was there," Issa told The Associated Press. The congressman also said the deposition raised questions in his mind about whether the Mitchell Report accurately reflected how pervasive steroid use· has been in baseball, a subject he expects to be addressed in next week's committee hearing.

The day before, an employee of the sports agency that represents Clemens and Pettitte was interviewed. Former New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski, is to speak to committee lawyers Feb. 12.

An eye--popping 81 percent of all TV sets on in .the Boston area Sunday were tuned in to the game. In Ne~ York, the audience share was 67 percent. There were signs even before game time that Fox could be headed for a record. The opportunity for a team to make history with football's first 19-0 record was a powerful draw. The Giants and Patriots also had a tight conte st in late December that drew strong ratings. The Giants' underdog run had also captivated the nation 's largest media mar" ket, making up for the only potential weakness in the event as a drawin~ card: the lack of geograph1cal diversity in the competing teams. There were past Super Bowls with higher ratings, topped by the 1982 game bet\\'een San Francisco and Cincinnati (49.1 rating, 73 share). That indicates a larger percentage of homes ' were with televisions watching the game. But since the American population has increase~. along with the number of people with TV s, the actual number of people watching this · year was higher. The Giants-Patriots game's actual rating (43.2 rating, 65 share) was the highest for any Super Bowl since 2000. That means 43 percent of the nation's TV sets · were tuned in to the game, and 65 percent of the TV sets that were turned on were watching football. • l.!psets fromPageBl blocked shots.

A Heat spokesman said the team had no comment, and several Suns officials didn't immediately return phone calls from the AP. The Herald report said the Suns would send Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami in exchange for 0' Neal, who is averaging a career-low 14.2 points and has been sidelined for the past two weeks by a lingermg hip injury. Multiple media outlets reported late Tuesday night, citing uni-dentified sources, that O' Neal would be m Phoenix ·to undergo a physical on Wednesday. The team pushed back its shootaround, originally scheduled for 9:45 a.m. MST to -4:45 p.m., shortly before the Suns play New Orleans. The Arizona Republic also reported a deal could be imminent and that O'Neal had contacted· some Suns players Tuesday night. When asked last week about another report that a Shaq trade was ' possible, Heat coach ·Pat Riley said, uNot true." But when the Los Angeles Lakers struck a deal with Memphis last week for 7footer Pau Gasol and instantly strengthened their lineup, there's been constant speculation about how other Western Conference teams would respond. And a Shaq-to-the-Suns deal would 9ertainly create plenty of buzz. "Really?" said the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, O'Neal's former teammate, when told of the apparently pending deal. "I know he likes the warm weather." It isn't' known if O'Neal -·who has two full seasons remaining after this one on his $100 million, five-year contract- would welcome · a trade. It also isn't known if the Heat would seek to add guard Smush Parker, who's been on the inactive list for months because of an unresolved le~al issue, to the deal. Otherwtse, making a 2-for-1 trade w.ould force Miami to cut another player for roster room. A four-time NBA cham pion, O' Neal entered this season talking about how . he wanted to win at least one more title, saying his "!egacy" wouldn't be complete unless he left the game with at least five rings.

Page 84 • The Daily Sentinel · Wednesday, February 6, 2008 ~rtbune- ASSOCIATED PRESS CHANDLER, Ariz. Vindication for former New York Giants general manager Erme Accorsi came in one gut-wrenching, last-minute dnve engineered by Eli Manning to' win the Super Bowl. The architect of the block.buster trade that brought Manning to the Giants on draft day 2004, Accorsi has been the scapegoat for frustrated Giants fans for the past 3 l/2 years. Every time Mann in struggled, Accorsi go1 blamed for . mortgaging the future of the franchise on Peyton Mannmg's not-asgood little brother. . Not anymore. Manning finally delivered on those high expectations when he led a game-winning 83-yard touchdown drive in the closing minutes of Sunday's 17-14 win overthe New England Patriots. He was the MVP of a Super Bowl that will be long remembered as one of the greatest upsets in football. "I couldn't be happier," Accorsi said Monday at the Giants' team hotel. "I have a thick skin. To me, it was part of the job. If he wasn't playing well, I was going to be criticized. I don't have any vindictive feeling. It was too great a moment to think. about that." Accorsi said the frantic ~ ourth quarter in some ways mirrored the ups and down of the past four years with Manning. It started in the 2004 draft . Despite being encouraged by the Manning family to pass on Eli, San Diego drafted him ~o. I. .The Giants · then acqUired htm from the Chargers for !h.e n_ghts to quarterback Phthp Riversthe No.4 pick over~ll - and a couple of draft ptck.s, one ~ho turned out to be All-Pro linebacker Shawne Memma~. . AccoTSI loved Mannmg's natural skills, and after an mterv1ew the ~eneral manager was convmced he was the quarterback 'the Giants needed. "He was unflappable," Accorsi said of Manning. "His mother told me when her mother passed away that 'Eli gets h1s calm from my mother. He is different from Peyton.' I always thought he had the perfect makeup. I am sure (criticism) bothered him but he never showed it, so l was not worried about his makeup and I wasn't worried about his talent." "With a quarterback. the difference for me is always the intangibles ... Can he take the team down the field with everything on the line and get his team into the end zone? That's all I care about." On Sunday, ~anning did. Sull, he d1dn t. reach the peak before finding another valley. With New York. chngiug to a l 0-7_.lead with 8:32 to play, Mannmg scrambled out of the po~ket near his own 30y~rd hne and overthrew a w1de-open Plax1co Burress ~1th _a lob pass along the left s1dehne. . "Your quarterback JUSt c~st us the championship," a_ Gtants fan smmg m front ot Accorsi turned and yelled. It seemed prophetic when Tom Brady took over on the next possession and led an 80-yard drive that resulted in a 6-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss with 2:42 to play. Then it all came together. With everything r>n the line, Manning took his . team down the field and got into the end zone · in the final minute with a 13-yard pass to Burress. Naturally, Accorsi was thrilled. So, too, was a former critic sitting in front Of him. The man who accused Manning of costing, the Giants the Super Bowl 8 mmutes earlier turned . and tried to kiss Accorsi. "He was aiming nght at my hps, .but he didn't get that close," a laughing Accorsi smd while shaking his head . Manning reviewed the season on Monday, noting the Giants ·overcame the adversity of an 0-2 start by sticking together and believing in themselves. The only difference he felt the day after his biggest game was now he could call himself a Super Bowl cham- p1on. . "It doesn't change my attitude, my personality, or even my goals for next season," Manning said, noting he would not mind playing in next year's Super Bowl against Peyton, who won last year's MVP award in leading the Indianapolis Colts to the title. "It's still the same. I'm happy today, I'm fired · up and I'm going to enjoy t!iis moment. You still want to do it again. You still want to have this feeling again. It's hard to say that now because you' re still enjoying it now, but you have to have the same commitment to playing football. I've got to become a better quarterback." First things first. Next up for the Giants is Thesday's ticker-tape parade in New York.. "Everybody's looking forward to it," Manning said. "I'm sure New York will throw a pretty good parade for us." After that, the Giants have some housekeeping chores. Coach Tom Coughlin is expected to get a lengthy contract extension that will pay him around .$5 million annually. He made $3.25 million this year and was to make the same in 2008. Linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor, safety Gibril Wilson, kicker Lawrence Tynes and punter Jeff Feagles - all starters in the Super Bowl - are free agents. "We ' II get moving on that as soon as we get back," said ·general manager Jerry Reese, the mar\ who • replaced Accorsi. Most of the players looked tired on Monday after a long night of partying. "I might have laid down for an hour qr two but I don't think I slept," center Shaun O'Hara said. "I think I jlist closed my ' eyes. It migl'lt have been the first time : I ~lept with a smile on my . face. " • Tynes also had a smile on his face. "I think we are going ·to win some more of these," he said. "The Patriots had their · dynasty and now I think We can start ours." - Galli a County, OH E-mail classified@ mydailytribune .com ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWARK, N.J. - The New York Giants aren't the only winners in the team's upset victory over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. Hats, T-shirts and other gear bearing the Giants logo started flying off the racks at sporting goods stores around the New York area riglit after the game ended, and the NFL estimated Monday that the total sales of official Super Bowl merchandise could surpass the $125 million record· set more than a decade ago. But with fans lining up to buy Giants-branded memorabilia, Boston merchants may be wondering what to do with their "19-0" hats and T-shirts. Reebok, the NFL's official apparel provider, printed 300 hats and T-shirts for both teams as it normally does, according to league spokesman Brian McCaf!hy But with the lead changing hands three times in the final quarter, the boxes containing the gear sat just off the field, waiting to be distributed after the final whistle, he said. In New York, New England and Phoenix, screen printers for the league's licensees were poised to start churning out products. It wasn't clear how many jumped the gun and started printing Patriots championship gear. "We tell them not to begin preproduction, but it's at their .own risk," McCarthy said. "We don't' want to have a 'Dewey Beats Truman' situation," he added, referring to the Chicago Tribune's infamous headline trumpeting the wrong winner in the 1948 presidential race. . For Giants fans, the buying frenzy began not long after wide receiver Plaxico Burress hauled in the gamewinning touchdown pass from Eli Manning with 35 seconds left. At a Sports Authority in Clifton, a few miles west of Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, fans bought up 1,000 items immediately after the game, then snapped up about I ,500 more by m\d-afternoon Monday, according to comanager Angelo Rizzo. In Princeton, Dick's Sporting Goods reopened shortly after the game ended Sunday night. Five customers were already at the door, manager Dari Fisher said. Fisher said he had been home watchmg the game and consulting with employees by phone about whether to put out the Super Bowl items. "Because it was going down to the wire, it was like, 'Do you set it up or not?"' Fisher said. "It was quite a surprise to see New England lose." · At hiast one New England retailer took a eautious route. City Sports Inc., a Wilmington, Mass.-based chain with seven of its 14 stores in the Boston area. stuck with its pol icy of ordering a team's shirts and hats only if that team ends up winning a big game. .

Freeman, an active ci;JUrchgoer, learned that studying the Bible was as essential to Bowden's routine as breaking down an opponent's game plan. '"It's part of my daily life,"' Bowden told Freeman. "Kids have a lot of respect for coaches when they hear that," said Ben Freeman, Dalton's father as well as, his . high school coach at Pelion High. When Kenneth Page, an offensive lineman from A.C. Flora High, outlined his college choices last mont~. he noted Bowden was a "good Christian man." Both Freeman and Page have pledged to attend Clemson. On Wednesday, hundreds or other prospects across the country will officially sign to play college ball. They weighed factors like academics, playing time, coaching staff and a campus' quality of life. For some, a place to grow spiritually was also high on the list. There's a reason, Bowden says, the Southeast is called "the Bible belt." To not d1scuss faith in some fashion I with prospects and their families, "to me, I think you make a mistake." It's often difficult, according to coaches, famiIy members, analysts and even the recruits themselves at times, to pinpoint what factor got them to sign. , "I've seen it from every angle," said Grant Teaff, the former Baylor coach who now heads the American Football Coaches Association. In some households, religion is a critical component, while other families have a ·more secular approach to selecting a college. Increasingly, Teaff says, coaches try to address all issues that may sway a recruit's decision. ,Teaff always called it a "three-legged stool" in developing an 18.-year-old physically, mentally and spiritually his next four or five years in school. " My , belief was it was part of my responsibility in taking a youngster to come and be part of our football program that I had to provide opportunities for growth and development in all three areas," he said. Georgia coach Mark Richt says families ar.e more at ease "turning thelf child over to someone" · who shares their belief systern . "I think. that's natural fnr people," Riehl said. Coaches vary on how much they publicize their faith . Bowden has made no secret of his beliefs during nine seasons with the Tigers. He and his father, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, have often spoken at Fellowship of Christian Athlete gatherings when the teams play each other. . Last year, however, the South Carolina chapter of the American Civil Liberties · Union said Bowden violated his players'. constitutional rights when they had to opt out if they didn't want to attend the team's annual church v1stt. The school and Bow.den have said the i>utmg is voluntary~and ng student who refused to go was ever disciplined. · Still, the university did tell the coach he could no longer use publicly owned team buses for the trip. "I think. sometimes unfortunately, Coach Bowdel_l got in a little bit of trouble with the ACLU that coaches get afraid to talk about" religion, Ben Freeman said. "That's a shame, too." Other coaches see their role as molding football players, not stepping into the pulpit. South Carolina's Steve Spurrier, the son of a preacher, doesn ' t spend much time publicly discussing religion. Spurner neither hides his faith nor pushes it on others, introducmg his program's chaplain to players and letting . them know what cha'pel services are available. "My profession is trying ' to be a football coach," Spurrier said. "I don't think my calling was to be a preacher." Can faith make a difference on signing day? Definitely, says Clemson's DaQuan Bowers, a 6-foot-4, 267pound defensive lineman considered the country's top prospect by ESPN and top five by most other services. Bowers played guitar at Light of the World Baptist Church in his hometown of Bamberg and plans to take an active role with Clemson's FCA branch. 'Religion "was a big part," Bowers sa1d. "All the coaches, they're Christian men. I didn't want to go anyplace where I wouldn't fit m as a Christian." Bowers' new teammate, Hi-g h's Blythewood Marquan Jones picked Clemson because of its academics and rising football program, not because of a coach's faith . "Religion is something that's up to the individual," he said. Page said he appreciated Bowden's beliefs, but just felt more comfortable at Clemson than his ·other finalists of North Carolina, Notre Dame or Tennessee . Barry Every, a national recruiting analyst for Rival s.co m, says faith plays a bigger role with prospects where both parents are involved. "That's where the moral side of it comes into play," he s·aid. Rodriguez: "Keep buyout lawsuit in federal court MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) Rich and Rita Rodriguez signed an $895a-month lease on a townhouse in Ann Arbor, Mich., establishing residency in that state the day before West Virginia sued him over a $4 million buyout clause in his contract, his lawyer says. . The couple also registered as Michigan voters and obtained Michigan drivers' licenses on Dec. 27, the same day the lawsuit was being filed in a state court in West Virginia. Those are some of the arguments attorney Marv Robon made late Monday night in court documents arguing the lawsuit should remain in U.S. District Court in Clarksburg. WVU wants the case sent back to Monongalia County Circuit Court in M<ngantown, where it originated. WVU claims Rodriguez was living in West Virginia and his children were attending West Virginia schools when the lawsuit was filed . The school also says Rodriguez mailed Athletic Director Ed Pastilong a second resignation letter Jan . 10, using his Morgantowl\ residence as the return address. Rodriguez, however, offered federal Judge John P. Bailey proof of residency with a FedEx tracking lahel showing he sent that letter from Ann Arbor. His lawyers contend he did so to protect himself and his family from more of the threats, harassment and I vandalism they experienced following his Dec. 18 resignation, which has sparked a bitter, continuing public feud. Bailey must, among other th!ngs, decide :whether WVU is "an alter ego of the state," as it contends, arguing lawsuits involving the state can be heard only in a state court. - Rodriguez has repeatedly claimed that WVU broke the terms of his contract first by failing to honor a variety of verbal promises, including one to reduce or eliminate his buyout. WVU denies such a pr~mrse was made and mststs 11 was working to accommodate the coach's demands when he quit for the head coaching job at Michigan. The gradual disintegration of the relationship between Rodriguez and the WVU Athletic Department was documented in a series of e'-mails outlining the coach's failed attempts to gain total control over the football -program. Late last week, Rodriguez responded to WVU's lawsuit by demanding the school's private fundraising arm, the WVU Foundation, ' be made a party to the case. The foun~ation, which had been run in part by President Mike WVU Garrison's chief of staff, Craig Walker, is no.t legally obligated to open its books to public scrutiny under ordinary circumstances. But it funnels money from boosters to WVU athletic programs.

Page 84 • The Daily Sentinel · Wednesday, February 6, 2008 ~rtbune- ASSOCIATED PRESS CHANDLER, Ariz. Vindication for former New York Giants general manager Erme Accorsi came in one gut-wrenching, last-minute dnve engineered by Eli Manning to' win the Super Bowl. The architect of the block.buster trade that brought Manning to the Giants on draft day 2004, Accorsi has been the scapegoat for frustrated Giants fans for the past 3 l/2 years. Every time Mann in struggled, Accorsi go1 blamed for . mortgaging the future of the franchise on Peyton Mannmg's not-asgood little brother. . Not anymore. Manning finally delivered on those high expectations when he led a game-winning 83-yard touchdown drive in the closing minutes of Sunday's 17-14 win overthe New England Patriots. He was the MVP of a Super Bowl that will be long remembered as one of the greatest upsets in football. "I couldn't be happier," Accorsi said Monday at the Giants' team hotel. "I have a thick skin. To me, it was part of the job. If he wasn't playing well, I was going to be criticized. I don't have any vindictive feeling. It was too great a moment to think. about that." Accorsi said the frantic ~ ourth quarter in some ways mirrored the ups and down of the past four years with Manning. It started in the 2004 draft . Despite being encouraged by the Manning family to pass on Eli, San Diego drafted him ~o. I. .The Giants · then acqUired htm from the Chargers for !h.e n_ghts to quarterback Phthp Riversthe No.4 pick over~ll - and a couple of draft ptck.s, one ~ho turned out to be All-Pro linebacker Shawne Memma~. . AccoTSI loved Mannmg's natural skills, and after an mterv1ew the ~eneral manager was convmced he was the quarterback 'the Giants needed. "He was unflappable," Accorsi said of Manning. "His mother told me when her mother passed away that 'Eli gets h1s calm from my mother. He is different from Peyton.' I always thought he had the perfect makeup. I am sure (criticism) bothered him but he never showed it, so l was not worried about his makeup and I wasn't worried about his talent." "With a quarterback. the difference for me is always the intangibles ... Can he take the team down the field with everything on the line and get his team into the end zone? That's all I care about." On Sunday, ~anning did. Sull, he d1dn t. reach the peak before finding another valley. With New York. chngiug to a l 0-7_.lead with 8:32 to play, Mannmg scrambled out of the po~ket near his own 30y~rd hne and overthrew a w1de-open Plax1co Burress ~1th _a lob pass along the left s1dehne. . "Your quarterback JUSt c~st us the championship," a_ Gtants fan smmg m front ot Accorsi turned and yelled. It seemed prophetic when Tom Brady took over on the next possession and led an 80-yard drive that resulted in a 6-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss with 2:42 to play. Then it all came together. With everything r>n the line, Manning took his . team down the field and got into the end zone · in the final minute with a 13-yard pass to Burress. Naturally, Accorsi was thrilled. So, too, was a former critic sitting in front Of him. The man who accused Manning of costing, the Giants the Super Bowl 8 mmutes earlier turned . and tried to kiss Accorsi. "He was aiming nght at my hps, .but he didn't get that close," a laughing Accorsi smd while shaking his head . Manning reviewed the season on Monday, noting the Giants ·overcame the adversity of an 0-2 start by sticking together and believing in themselves. The only difference he felt the day after his biggest game was now he could call himself a Super Bowl cham- p1on. . "It doesn't change my attitude, my personality, or even my goals for next season," Manning said, noting he would not mind playing in next year's Super Bowl against Peyton, who won last year's MVP award in leading the Indianapolis Colts to the title. "It's still the same. I'm happy today, I'm fired · up and I'm going to enjoy t!iis moment. You still want to do it again. You still want to have this feeling again. It's hard to say that now because you' re still enjoying it now, but you have to have the same commitment to playing football. I've got to become a better quarterback." First things first. Next up for the Giants is Thesday's ticker-tape parade in New York.. "Everybody's looking forward to it," Manning said. "I'm sure New York will throw a pretty good parade for us." After that, the Giants have some housekeeping chores. Coach Tom Coughlin is expected to get a lengthy contract extension that will pay him around .$5 million annually. He made $3.25 million this year and was to make the same in 2008. Linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor, safety Gibril Wilson, kicker Lawrence Tynes and punter Jeff Feagles - all starters in the Super Bowl - are free agents. "We ' II get moving on that as soon as we get back," said ·general manager Jerry Reese, the mar\ who • replaced Accorsi. Most of the players looked tired on Monday after a long night of partying. "I might have laid down for an hour qr two but I don't think I slept," center Shaun O'Hara said. "I think I jlist closed my ' eyes. It migl'lt have been the first time : I ~lept with a smile on my . face. " • Tynes also had a smile on his face. "I think we are going ·to win some more of these," he said. "The Patriots had their · dynasty and now I think We can start ours." - Galli a County, OH E-mail classified@ mydailytribune .com ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWARK, N.J. - The New York Giants aren't the only winners in the team's upset victory over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. Hats, T-shirts and other gear bearing the Giants logo started flying off the racks at sporting goods stores around the New York area riglit after the game ended, and the NFL estimated Monday that the total sales of official Super Bowl merchandise could surpass the $125 million record· set more than a decade ago. But with fans lining up to buy Giants-branded memorabilia, Boston merchants may be wondering what to do with their "19-0" hats and T-shirts. Reebok, the NFL's official apparel provider, printed 300 hats and T-shirts for both teams as it normally does, according to league spokesman Brian McCaf!hy But with the lead changing hands three times in the final quarter, the boxes containing the gear sat just off the field, waiting to be distributed after the final whistle, he said. In New York, New England and Phoenix, screen printers for the league's licensees were poised to start churning out products. It wasn't clear how many jumped the gun and started printing Patriots championship gear. "We tell them not to begin preproduction, but it's at their .own risk," McCarthy said. "We don't' want to have a 'Dewey Beats Truman' situation," he added, referring to the Chicago Tribune's infamous headline trumpeting the wrong winner in the 1948 presidential race. . For Giants fans, the buying frenzy began not long after wide receiver Plaxico Burress hauled in the gamewinning touchdown pass from Eli Manning with 35 seconds left. At a Sports Authority in Clifton, a few miles west of Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, fans bought up 1,000 items immediately after the game, then snapped up about I ,500 more by m\d-afternoon Monday, according to comanager Angelo Rizzo. In Princeton, Dick's Sporting Goods reopened shortly after the game ended Sunday night. Five customers were already at the door, manager Dari Fisher said. Fisher said he had been home watchmg the game and consulting with employees by phone about whether to put out the Super Bowl items. "Because it was going down to the wire, it was like, 'Do you set it up or not?"' Fisher said. "It was quite a surprise to see New England lose." · At hiast one New England retailer took a eautious route. City Sports Inc., a Wilmington, Mass.-based chain with seven of its 14 stores in the Boston area. stuck with its pol icy of ordering a team's shirts and hats only if that team ends up winning a big game. . Patriots champion gear to "Going tnto the game, underprivileged children in with a chance to be 19-0 on Nicaragua. Last year, the league the lme, it w:is a big letdown," said Michael Lewis, donated Chicago Bears the chain's equipment and merchandise to children in license buyer.

"I was hoping they'd lose so the stuff would be half off," she joked. But few shoppers seemed interested in buying di~­ counted Patriots gear celebrating the team's AFC title at a City Sports store in downtown Boston. Abraham Ho, a 19-yearold Suffolk University student from Quincy, had been counting on a Patriots victory to justify his plans to buy replica jerseys. After their loss, Ho couldn't get enthused about spending the money. . "I was real disappointed," said Ho. "But if I see a Patriots hat design that I like, I'll still probably get it."

Freeman, an active ci;JUrchgoer, learned that studying the Bible was as essential to Bowden's routine as breaking down an opponent's game plan. '"It's part of my daily life,"' Bowden told Freeman. "Kids have a lot of respect for coaches when they hear that," said Ben Freeman, Dalton's father as well as, his . high school coach at Pelion High. When Kenneth Page, an offensive lineman from A.C. Flora High, outlined his college choices last mont~. he noted Bowden was a "good Christian man." Both Freeman and Page have pledged to attend Clemson. On Wednesday, hundreds or other prospects across the country will officially sign to play college ball. They weighed factors like academics, playing time, coaching staff and a campus' quality of life. For some, a place to grow spiritually was also high on the list. There's a reason, Bowden says, the Southeast is called "the Bible belt." To not d1scuss faith in some fashion I with prospects and their families, "to me, I think you make a mistake." It's often difficult, according to coaches, famiIy members, analysts and even the recruits themselves at times, to pinpoint what factor got them to sign. , "I've seen it from every angle," said Grant Teaff, the former Baylor coach who now heads the American Football Coaches Association. In some households, religion is a critical component, while other families have a ·more secular approach to selecting a college. Increasingly, Teaff says, coaches try to address all issues that may sway a recruit's decision. ,Teaff always called it a "three-legged stool" in developing an 18.-year-old physically, mentally and spiritually his next four or five years in school. " My , belief was it was part of my responsibility in taking a youngster to come and be part of our football program that I had to provide opportunities for growth and development in all three areas," he said. Georgia coach Mark Richt says families ar.e more at ease "turning thelf child over to someone" · who shares their belief systern . "I think. that's natural fnr people," Riehl said. Coaches vary on how much they publicize their faith . Bowden has made no secret of his beliefs during nine seasons with the Tigers. He and his father, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, have often spoken at Fellowship of Christian Athlete gatherings when the teams play each other. . Last year, however, the South Carolina chapter of the American Civil Liberties · Union said Bowden violated his players'. constitutional rights when they had to opt out if they didn't want to attend the team's annual church v1stt. The school and Bow.den have said the i>utmg is voluntary~and ng student who refused to go was ever disciplined. · Still, the university did tell the coach he could no longer use publicly owned team buses for the trip. "I think. sometimes unfortunately, Coach Bowdel_l got in a little bit of trouble with the ACLU that coaches get afraid to talk about" religion, Ben Freeman said. "That's a shame, too." Other coaches see their role as molding football players, not stepping into the pulpit. South Carolina's Steve Spurrier, the son of a preacher, doesn ' t spend much time publicly discussing religion. Spurner neither hides his faith nor pushes it on others, introducmg his program's chaplain to players and letting . them know what cha'pel services are available. "My profession is trying ' to be a football coach," Spurrier said. "I don't think my calling was to be a preacher." Can faith make a difference on signing day? Definitely, says Clemson's DaQuan Bowers, a 6-foot-4, 267pound defensive lineman considered the country's top prospect by ESPN and top five by most other services. Bowers played guitar at Light of the World Baptist Church in his hometown of Bamberg and plans to take an active role with Clemson's FCA branch. 'Religion "was a big part," Bowers sa1d. "All the coaches, they're Christian men. I didn't want to go anyplace where I wouldn't fit m as a Christian." Bowers' new teammate, Hi-g h's Blythewood Marquan Jones picked Clemson because of its academics and rising football program, not because of a coach's faith . "Religion is something that's up to the individual," he said. Page said he appreciated Bowden's beliefs, but just felt more comfortable at Clemson than his ·other finalists of North Carolina, Notre Dame or Tennessee . Barry Every, a national recruiting analyst for Rival s.co m, says faith plays a bigger role with prospects where both parents are involved. "That's where the moral side of it comes into play," he s·aid. Rodriguez: "Keep buyout lawsuit in federal court MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) Rich and Rita Rodriguez signed an $895a-month lease on a townhouse in Ann Arbor, Mich., establishing residency in that state the day before West Virginia sued him over a $4 million buyout clause in his contract, his lawyer says. . The couple also registered as Michigan voters and obtained Michigan drivers' licenses on Dec. 27, the same day the lawsuit was being filed in a state court in West Virginia. Those are some of the arguments attorney Marv Robon made late Monday night in court documents arguing the lawsuit should remain in U.S. District Court in Clarksburg. WVU wants the case sent back to Monongalia County Circuit Court in M<ngantown, where it originated. WVU claims Rodriguez was living in West Virginia and his children were attending West Virginia schools when the lawsuit was filed . The school also says Rodriguez mailed Athletic Director Ed Pastilong a second resignation letter Jan . 10, using his Morgantowl\ residence as the return address. Rodriguez, however, offered federal Judge John P. Bailey proof of residency with a FedEx tracking lahel showing he sent that letter from Ann Arbor. His lawyers contend he did so to protect himself and his family from more of the threats, harassment and I vandalism they experienced following his Dec. 18 resignation, which has sparked a bitter, continuing public feud. Bailey must, among other th!ngs, decide :whether WVU is "an alter ego of the state," as it contends, arguing lawsuits involving the state can be heard only in a state court. - Rodriguez has repeatedly claimed that WVU broke the terms of his contract first by failing to honor a variety of verbal promises, including one to reduce or eliminate his buyout. WVU denies such a pr~mrse was made and mststs 11 was working to accommodate the coach's demands when he quit for the head coaching job at Michigan. The gradual disintegration of the relationship between Rodriguez and the WVU Athletic Department was documented in a series of e'-mails outlining the coach's failed attempts to gain total control over the football -program. Late last week, Rodriguez responded to WVU's lawsuit by demanding the school's private fundraising arm, the WVU Foundation, ' be made a party to the case. The foun~ation, which had been run in part by President Mike WVU Garrison's chief of staff, Craig Walker, is no.t legally obligated to open its books to public scrutiny under ordinary circumstances. But it funnels money from boosters to WVU athletic programs.
