On Saturday, March 17, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., three students completing their Masters of Social Work (MSW) at Marshall’s Mid-Ohio Valley Center (MOVC) will be holding a Human Trafﬁcking Awareness Event at the Trinity Christian Community Building in Point Pleasant. Refresh- ments and resource packets will be provided to guests. Also, Continuing Education (CEU) hours will be available to social workers in attendance. Amanda Tarbett, MSW student, shared she and her fellow classmates Emily Ash and Lisa Lewis decided to arrange this event when given a class assignment pertaining to their knowledge of their community. Tarbett said they chose to address human trafﬁcking because it correlates more with the drug epidemic in Mason County than residents realize. Tarbett explained MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Village Council recently met for its regularly scheduled meeting, appointing a new council member.

Governor and Republican Governor candidate Mary Taylor made a stop in Pomeroy on Tuesday morning, along with her running mate Nathan Estruth. Taylor and Estruth met with local ofﬁcials and residents at the Ewing-Schwarzel Family Center, their ﬁrst of ﬁve stops in Southeast Ohio on Tuesday. Taylor, who currently serves as lieutenant governor under Gov. John Kasich, explained her position on some key issues, while detailing how she and Estruth are the non-establishment conservative candidates in the race. The two face off against the ticket of Mike DeWine (current attorney general) and Jon Husted (current secretary of state) for the Republican nomination on May 8. The way conservatives beat the establishment, Taylor told those in attendance, is for the voters to rise up — as they did in 2016 — and show that it is the voters who decide who represents them. “It can and will happen again,” said Taylor. Taylor expressed the importance of people like those in attendance on Tuesday morning going out to spread the message of the campaign in defeating the establishment candidate.

Twenty-three-year-old Sierra Day and 26-year-old Deonte Lewis were charged Tuesday in Euclid (YOO’-klihd) in the death of Aniya Day-Garrett. A judge set their bonds at $1 million each. It couldn’t immediately be determined whether they have attorneys. The Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County Medical Examiner’s Ofﬁce says Aniya died Sunday at a hospital of a stroke caused by blunt impacts to her head and also was malnourished.

Students, bus driver throw fists in fight caught on video COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Several students have been captured on video ﬁghting a school bus driver in Ohio and knocking him to the ground. WBNS-TV reports the ﬁght happened Friday at Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center in Columbus just after its 2:30 p.m. dismissal. Police say two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old fought the 53-year-old bus driver. In the video, the driver is seen swinging at a student, missing and then falling to the ground when he is struck from behind. Police say the driver suffered minor injuries. Columbus City school ofﬁcials say the bus driver was taken off the road Monday. It is unclear if the driver or the students involved will face further discipline. FAIRBORN, Ohio (AP) — Police have arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with the shooting death of an Ohio hotel clerk. Dayton Daily News reports police took Michael McLendon, of Dayton, into custody last week. Prosecutors say he told police he shot 29-year-old Andrew Day at the Hampton Inn in Fairborn Wednesday after taking money from the hotel’s cash register. Day was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries. McLendon has been charged with murder and aggravated robbery, and prosecutors expect to ﬁle additional charges as the investigation continues. He is being held on $1 million bond. It is unclear if he has a lawyer. McLendon was released from prison in 2017 following a previous conviction for aggravated robbery. Man pleads guilty after cop’s accidental fentanyl overdose EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio (AP) — A man accused of exposing an Ohio police ofﬁcer to the potentially deadly opioid fentanyl during a drug arrest has pleaded guilty to assault on a peace ofﬁcer and drug-related charges. The attorney general’s ofﬁce says four doses of the overdose antidote naloxone were used to revive the ofﬁcer from East Liverpool, nearly 85 miles (137 kilometers) southeast of Cleveland near the Pennsylvania line. Authorities said the ofﬁcer followed protocol and wore gloves and a mask when searching a car during the arrest last May, but later instinctively touched powder on his shirt without realizing it was fentanyl. The suspect, a 25-year-old East Liverpool man, was sentenced Monday to over six years in prison. Prosecutors say he was among 100 people charged in an investigation of a large drug-trafﬁcking ring. Palestinian leader unhurt JABALIYA, Gaza Strip (AP) — A roadside bomb on Tuesday struck the convoy of the Palestinian prime minister during a rare visit to the Gaza Strip, causing no serious injuries but throwing an already troubled reconciliation process between rival factions into deeper turmoil. Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah had just arrived from his West Bank headquarters to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new water-treatment plant when the bomb went off. Although there was no claim of responsibility, Palestinian ofﬁcials accused Gaza militants of trying to assassinate Hamdallah. Gaza’s ruling Hamas group denied involvement. The blast took place at a time of deadlock in reconciliation efforts between Hamdallah’s Fatah party and Hamas, which has controlled Gaza since ousting Fatah forces in 2007. It also cast a shadow over a special White House meeting where international donor nations were set to discuss the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

It was a Nick Alexopulos false alarm, the latest example of Contributing human error triggering one of the most terrifying notiﬁcations a camcolumnist pus community could receive. The formula is familiar: An employee at a large institution — often a college or university, required by the Clery Act to issue emergency notiﬁcations for certain incidents — hits the wrong button while testing or tinkering with that institution’s alert system, causing thousands of phones to buzz and many more people to panic until a correction is issued. Sometimes the delay is long enough for outside law enforcement to arrive. Mistakes in this mold don’t occur often, but their frequency ought to raise concern. In January, at Lower Columbia College in Washington state, an IT department employee sent an active shooter alert by accident while installing hardware. Human error was also behind active shooter alerts disseminated by Hennepin Technical College in Minnesota in September and UNC Wilmington and the University of Texas at Tyler in February 2017. Same goes for active shooter alert errors at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, University of Illinois and Michigan State University in the recent years preceding. Colleges have company. Two high schools in Lexington, Ky., went on lockdown Feb. 2 when an intruder alert message was sent in error during a training exercise. Erroneous warnings erode a community’s conﬁdence in public safety and other emergency management personnel who must maintain credibility to ensure their crisis and risk communication efforts are effective in a disaster. Few communication mistakes do greater damage than an active shooter-related gaffe. (False ballistic missile alert is in a tier of its own.) And to be clear, what’s at issue here is messages sent purely by accident, not messages sent based on limited information later deemed unfounded. But now, with school systems considering increased security measures in response to the horriﬁc shooting in Parkland, Fla., and President Donald Trump ﬂoating the idea of arming teachers, the potential consequences of incident alert accidents are even more worrisome. Increased security means more trained public safety personnel capable of reacting immediately to reports of an active shooter on school grounds. The National Association of School Resource Ofﬁcers estimates that between 14,000 and 20,000 resource ofﬁcers are currently in service nationwide. Proposals for additional “SROs” and traditional law enforcement to bolster security are popping up across the country, at schools in Cattaraugus County (New York), Richmond and Fairfax County (Virginia), Green Bay (Wisconsin) and Mahwah (New Jersey), among others. The Denton County, Texas, sheriff reminded his deputies in a Feb. 27 memo that they are expected to take immediate action in an active shooter situation. Law enforcement presence is a vital element of school safety, but it introduces some new risk in chaotic incidents like active shooter situations. On the morning of the Parkland attack, a Good Samaritan in Amarillo, Texas, was shot by police after he confronted a man threatening churchgoers with a gun and wrestled the gun away. It’s likely ofﬁcers mistook him for the intruder. Schools absolutely cannot risk something similar happening in the confusion that follows an active shooter message sent by mistake. Arming teachers is a far more problematic source of new risk in this scenario. At least eight states already allow teachers to carry guns on K-12 school grounds, accounting for hundreds of school districts; increasing that number has been widely questioned for many practical reasons. Here’s another: Carelessness as a result of inadequate controls on mass notiﬁcation systems could be the reason people with limited ﬁrearms training receive an alert that portends extreme use of force. No one, especially teachers and their students, should be exposed to such preventable danger. At least three emergency messaging vendors offer a product tailored to K-12 schools. These products will certainly gain popularity as schools explore new ways to boost security. Meantime, universities and school systems ought to prioritize process improvements that drastically reduce the potential for active shooter alert accidents. It’s unconscionable that students and educators face any potential threats, no matter how remote. Don’t let human error be one of them.

THEIR VIEW Betsy DeVos crashes, burns in interview Betsy DeVos, folks! The stuttering incoherence and total lack of even casual familiarity with the state of education back home on display Sunday night during the U.S. Secretary of Education’s interview with “60 Minutes’” Lesley Stahl? That’s the woman whose ﬁrm-but-horriblymisguided hand has directed education policy here in Michigan since the 1990s. And that’s the kind of profound insight that gets the Michigan Legislature to say “How high?” when DeVos says “Jump!” Pair it with humdingers like this, and it explains an awful lot about why we’re not doing so hot: Schools, yes, are made up of individual students. Who go to school in buildings, run by systems, using books and materials and taught by teachers. To invest in students requires investing in the array of people and things that enable classroom instruction to happen — in the same way that, say, investing in a child who lives in your home requires funding a safe, It does not work secure space to that way.

Her representative declined on DeVos’ behalf. But I’d still like to know. In the meantime, Mrs. DeVos, if you’d like to try that thing with the hundreds, I will personally meet you at any school in Detroit with a box of safety pins. After all, it couldn’t work out more poorly than what you’ve done already. This column originally appeared in the Detroit Free Press.

Burdette, a first-team All-Atlantic 10 selection, and the ninth-seeded Flyers face eighth-seeded Marquette in Louisville at 2 p.m. Friday. NEW YORK (AP) — UConn is back in a familiar place — the No. 1 overall seed in the women’s basketball NCAA Tournament. Joining the Huskies as top seeds are Notre Dame, Louisville and Mississippi State. The Huskies enter as the lone unbeaten team and will be vying for their 12th national championship. It’s the ninth time that UConn has entered the NCAAs undefeated, including last year when the Huskies went in as the overwhelming favorite before their 111-game winning streak ended with a loss to Mississippi State in the Final Four. This year’s Final Four is in Columbus, Ohio, and will take place on March 30. The national championship game is on Sunday, April 1. Defending national champion South Carolina and A’ja Wilson await as a possible Elite Eight matchup for UConn in the Albany Regional. The Gamecocks are the two-seed. “What can you do? You have to beat some pretty good teams. Is it an impossible feat? Obviously not,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. “We saw that last year. If we’re in the position where we have to play them, we’re going to play them. We’re going to give it our best shot and let the chips fall where they may.” The Gamecocks lost by 25 at home against UConn on Feb. 1. Florida State and Georgia are the other top seeds in the Huskies’ part of the bracket. “Brackets are brackets. There are good teams in every bracket,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “There are great matchups in every bracket and it doesn’t really matter at this stage where you’re placed, what region, you’re going to have to beat some really good teams. The schedule we play, I knew we’d get somebody two or three that we already played. We know that.” UConn, which has been a No. 1 seed every year since 2007, opens up against 16-seed Saint Francis (Pennsylvania) on Saturday morning. All of the top four teams in each region host the opening two rounds at home. Like the Huskies, the Irish are a No. 1 seed again. Notre See NCAA | 9 Georgia interviews former Ohio State coach Thad Matta By Charles Odom Associated Press Georgia ofﬁcials interviewed former Ohio State coach Thad Matta on Monday, launching their coach search only two days after the school ﬁred Mark Fox. Matta’s visit to Athens was closely monitored by his older brother, Greg Matta, who is the coach at North Cobb Christian School in Kennesaw, Georgia, about a 90-minute drive away. Greg Matta said Monday his younger brother told him before the interview “what an exciting place” Georgia is as a possible next coaching job. Thad Matta’s visit to Athens was a poorly kept secret. “I had people in school tell me ‘Your brother is in Athens,’” said Greg Matta, who added that “it would be awesome” to have his brother so close to home. Thad Matta, 50, led Ohio State to nine NCAA Tournaments, including two Final Four appearances, and ﬁve Big Ten regular season championships in 13 years. He also led Xavier to the NCAA Tournament in each of his three years at the school and had another NCAA appearance in his only season as Butler’s coach. He was ﬁred by Ohio State following a 17-15 ﬁnish in the 2016-17 season. “I know Thad has always missed it,” Greg Matta said. “It’s in his blood. “Thad is a great coach. Whoever gets Thad is going to get an unbelievable basketball coach and a great person.” Matta’s overall record is 439-154. He has been troubled for years by chronic back problems and said after he left Ohio State his focus would be on his health. Greg Matta said the brothers don’t discuss Thad Matta’s health issues. He said Thad Matta “looked great” when the two were together around Christmas. “We didn’t go play golf or anything like that but he seemed to be doing ﬁne,” said Greg Matta. “We really don’t talk about that. … All I know is he looked great and was moving around and even the color in his face, he was looking great.” Fox was ﬁred Saturday . Georgia (18-15) lost to Kentucky in the quarterﬁnals of the Southeastern Conference Tournament, ending the Bulldogs’ hopes of landing a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Fox was 163-133 at Georgia. NCAA From page 8 Dame has been a top seed the last seven years. This might be one of coach Muffet McGraw’s ﬁnest accomplishments as Notre Dame lost four pivotal players to injury, but only three games on the season. Two of those losses came to Louisville. “A great reward for this team for what they’ve been through … playing the toughest schedule and getting a No. 1 seed,” McGraw said. “I’m so proud of this group and what they have accomplished. (Being a No. 1) is quite an accomplishment for what we’ve been through all year long.” The Irish are in the Spokane Regional and open up against Cal State Northridge on Friday. If Notre Dame advances, the Irish would head out west to potentially face No. 2 seed Oregon. “We’ve never been in the West bracket. I love playing Friday at 5. That’s awesome,” McGraw said. The Ducks could stay out west and play in Spokane, where coach Kelly Graves spent many years as Gonzaga’s coach. Ohio State and Texas A&M are the three and four seeds in that region. Louisville won the Atlantic Coast Conference for the ﬁrst time this season. The Cardinals open up against Boise State and are one of eight ACC teams in the ﬁeld. The Southeastern Conference has seven teams in the tournament, while the Pac-12 and the Big Ten have six. “We’re really excited about the opportunity,” Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. “We’re excited to host the ﬁrst two at home against two very good basketball teams. If we’re fortunate enough to advance, we get the opportunity to play in Lexington, which would be great for our fans.” Home 28-5 23-12 20-10 16-15 12-22 Away 21-12 23-9 16-19 8-28 9-24 Conf 32-8 29-14 22-17 12-27 14-25 Home 19-14 20-13 19-17 13-18 15-20 Away 19-15 16-19 10-21 7-29 5-27 Conf 24-18 25-18 17-23 12-28 9-34 Home 23-12 22-11 21-14 21-14 15-18 Away 16-16 16-17 15-17 9-22 8-25 Conf 29-16 27-14 22-21 19-26 18-22 Home 26-6 17-14 23-8 14-22 13-22 Away Conf 27-8 33-8 21-14 20-20 14-22 21-20 7-24 12-33 5-27 15-27 Home 23-11 24-11 26-8 26-10 21-11 Away Conf 18-15 25-15 16-18 24-20 13-21 29-13 11-20 24-21 16-19 24-16 Home 26-7 20-14 17-15 11-22 9-24 Away 25-9 16-15 13-21 10-25 10-25 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The rest of the NFL can dispense with any notions of luring Drew Brees away from the team — and city — where the star quarterback has ﬂourished for more than a decade now. Two people familiar with the contract say Brees has agreed to a two-year, $50 million extension with the New Orleans Saints. The people say $27 million is guaranteed in the ﬁrst year. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Tuesday because the agreement has not been announced. Brees, who turned 39 in January, was due to become a free agent on Wednesday. But he has said he wanted to ﬁnish his career in New Orleans, where he has played since 2006, won a Super Bowl and led Conf 28-13 22-19 14-26 10-33 13-30 Detroit at Utah, 9 p.m. Cleveland at Phoenix, 10 p.m. Denver at L.A.

Now his return is assured to a team that came within one play of advancing to last season’s NFC championship game, falling at Minnesota when the Vikings scored an unlikely, 61-yard touchdown on the ﬁnal play of their divisional-round NFC playoff game. Last season, Brees completed an NFLrecord 72 percent of his passes for 4,334 yards and 23 touchdowns against eight interceptions. He ranked fourth in the NFL in yards passing and the Saints ranked second in the NFL in total offense. A second-round draft choice by San Diego in 2001, Brees has passed for 70,445 yards and 488 touchdowns in 17 seasons — 58,097 yards and 408 touchdowns in 12 seasons with New Orleans. He has passed for more than 5,000 yards in a season ﬁve times, most recently in 2016. In 2011, Brees was at the helm of an offense that gained an NFL-record 7,474 yards. By the time Brees’ new contract expires, he could very well be the NFL’s all-time leader in yards and touchdowns passing. Currently, Peyton Manning holds those marks with 71,940 yards and 539 touchdowns. Brett Favre also is ahead of Brees — for now — with 71, 838 yards and 508 TDs passing. Brees has been New Orleans’ franchise player during the franchise’s greatest era, which has been highlighted by a Super Bowl championship in the 2009 season and ﬁve other playoff seasons. He arrived when his NFL future was uncertain, as was the future of Hurricane Katrinaravaged New Orleans. Coming off throwingshoulder surgery, Brees led the Saints — who had gone 3-13 the year before he arrived — to their ﬁrst NFC title game. In the process, Brees and the Saints became a symbol of New Orleans’ resurgence after the storm that ﬂooded 80 percent of the city, ﬂourishing together during the past decade-plus of recovery. “Certainly, the relationship with this city will always play a strong role in me wanting to be here and … wanting to ﬁnish my career here,” Brees said. Alex Ovechkin joins NHL’s 600-goal club Another possible candidate to replace Fox is former Indiana and Marquette coach Tom Crean. Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity did not respond to a request from The Associated Press for a comment on Matta. The Lexington Regional is stacked with former NCAA Tournament winners with Baylor the twoseed, Tennessee the three and Stanford the four. While the Lady Vols have been in the NCAA Tournament every year since it began in 1982, Nicholls State, Northern Colorado, Mercer and Seattle will be making their ﬁrst appearances. Stanford potentially is headed to Lexington for the third straight year if it can advance. Mississippi State is a No. 1 seed for the ﬁrst time in school history. The Bulldogs won their ﬁrst 32 games this season before losing to South Carolina in the SEC title game. With most of their players back from last season’s runner-up ﬁnish — including Morgan William, who hit the gamewinner in overtime to knock off UConn — the Bulldogs hope to make another deep NCAA run. The NCAA revealed Sunday night the ﬁnal eight teams under consideration for the last four spots in the tournament. Buffalo, Creighton, Minnesota and Oklahoma got in. Purdue, Rutgers, Southern Cal and West Virginia were the ﬁrst four teams out. Oklahoma got in with a 16-14 record — the fewest wins for an at-large team since 2005 — a day after the Oklahoma men got an at-large berth with an 18-13 record and losses in 11 of their ﬁnal 15 games. “We spent almost seven hours on that decision of who those last four teams in and ﬁrst four out were,” NCAA women’s basketball committee chair Rhonda Bennett said. “We went through those resumes and their body of work. We took as long as it took to get those teams into the bracket.” Bennett said Oklahoma’s strength of schedule, which was second best in the country, was a key to its selection. Wednesday, March 14, 2018 9 WASHINGTON (AP) — Everyone around Alex Ovechkin had a hunch this was his night. His wife, Nastya, had ﬂown back from Moscow just in time. Coach Barry Trotz noticed Ovechkin was unusually quiet. By the time he scored the 599th goal of his career, Ovechkin sensed it, too. Less than four minutes into the second period of the Washington Capitals’ game against the Winnipeg Jets, Ovechkin put back a rebound and skated into the spotlight as the latest member of the NHL’s 600-goal club. The Russian superstar scored twice to reach the milestone in typical Ovechkin fashion, becoming the fourth-fastest player in NHL history to 600 behind only Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Brett Hull. “When I score 599, I felt like, ‘OK I still have to make a push two periods,’” Ovechkin said. “Finally, I scored.” Ovechkin’s rebound goal past Connor Hellebuyck 3:53 into the second period was his 42nd of the season as he tries to hit 50 for the eighth time. His ﬁrst goal 4:35 into the ﬁrst period came on a 5-on-3 power play as the Russian winger looked determined to reach 600 after several games on the doorstep. “He knew he was going to get it done today,” Trotz said after the Capitals’ 3-2 overtime victory . “The great thing about Ovi is when he puts something to it in his mind, he was going to get it done.” Capitals fans who have watched Ovechkin shine as the most productive goal scorer of the past decade-plus gave him a standing ovation for almost a minute after he reached the mark. Chants of “Ovi! Ovi!” continued as he waved from the bench in the moments after and during a video montage at the next timeout.

Houston defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 last year to clinch the title. Trump, who played baseball in high school, declared it “was one of the greatest baseball games anybody has ever seen.” The Astros jumped to a 5-0 lead by the second inning, ultimately winning the game 5-1. “It’s really a reminder why baseball is our national pastime,” he said at the White House. Trump thanked the players for spending time with people who were displaced by Harvey’s ﬂoodwaters, and for donating money. “Our administration will continue to stand by the people of Texas and Florida and Puerto Rico, Louisiana, even Alabama and so many other places were affected, and we’re standing by all of them,” said Trump, whose response to last fall’s hurricanes was criticized by some. Trump singled out some players by name, including American League MVP Jose Altuve. “Who could forget the amazing Jose Altuve? Where’s Jose? He’s much taller than I thought,” Trump said, directly addressing the 5-foot-6 second baseman and turning to shake his hand. White House visits by championship sports teams are usually highly anticipated, but have become politically fraught in the age of Trump. More than two dozen New England Patriots stayed away when the Super Bowl-winning team visited in 2017. Several had cited political reasons beforehand. The NBA champion Golden State Warriors avoided the White House on a trip to Washington last month. Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry had said last year that he did not want to come to the White House. Trump later made it clear that Curry wasn’t welcome, tweeting “invitation is withdrawn!” At least three Astros — recently retired outﬁelder Carlos Beltran, pitcher Ken Giles and shortstop Carlos Correa — were absent Monday. Beltran and Giles previously had cited family reasons for why they would skip the event. Asked afterward about Correa’s absence, team owner Jim Crane told reporters during an availability outside the White House that a “couple of the guys had family issues and spring break, so we didn’t really review that with them.” Some of the players and managers said they were honored to be at Andrew Harnik | AP President Donald Trump shakes hands with Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve during a ceremony Monday in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Trump honored the World Series Champion Houston Astros for their 2017 World Series victory. the White House. “Anytime you can get a chance to come and do something like this, it’s going to be a great time,” right ﬁelder Josh Reddick said after the event. Manager A.J. Hinch said it was a “very special” day because just one Major League Baseball team a Woods, Els to captain Presidents Cup By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Tiger Woods and Ernie Els will duel in the Presidents Cup again, this time as captains.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because the captain selections have not been announced. year gets to come to the White House. “We’ll forever remember this,” Hinch said. Pitcher Justin Verlander tweeted a photo of himself standing behind the president’s lectern in the White House East Room. The Astros used Monday’s day off from spring training in Florida to ﬂy to Washington for the ceremony. They headed for the airport afterward. Trump, who received a team jersey, later tweeted that it was his “great honor” to host the team. He included a photo of him and the team in the Oval Ofﬁce. Richard Sherman says move to 49ers adds fuel to his fire They are expected to be introduced Tuesday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational near Orlando, Florida. Woods has been heavily involved in team event while not playing in recent years because of back injuries. He was an assistant to Steve Stricker in the Presidents Cup last year, and he already has agreed to be a vice captain at the Ryder Cup this fall in France for the second straight time. The development ﬁrst was reported by the blog Morning Read. ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Richard Sherman spent seven years tormenting the San Francisco 49ers with his lockdown coverage, colorful trash talk and celebratory turkey eating at midﬁeld. Now he has decided to join the enemy, signing a three-year contract with the 49ers almost immediately after being let go by the Seattle Seahawks last Friday. “It’s a little odd to put on a different jersey. I’m sure it will take some getting used to for me,” Sherman said Monday. “I’ve spent a lot of time wearing a red jersey in the Bay so I’m sure I’ll be able to ﬁgure it out.” The former Stanford star has returned to the Bay Area since he wanted to stay on the West Coast to be close to his parents in Los Angeles and his soon-to-be wife’s family in Seattle. Getting the chance to stay in the NFC West and play the Seahawks twice each year was an added bonus. “It deﬁnitely had a part of it,” he said. “I’d love to get to play in that stadium again in different colors. I’m going to try my best to ruin their day. I do want a chance to show what I can do out there.” VOTE NOW! 2018 CutestContest Pet Think your Pet has what it takes to be crowned the cutest pet around? VOTE for your pet in our Sherman, who turns 30 later this month, is coming off an Achilles tendon injury that cost him half of the 2017 season. Sherman also had a cleanup surgery on his opposite ankle during the offseason. That led to Seattle’s decision that he wasn’t worth his $13 million salary for 2018. Sherman became a star in Seattle, bringing a brash attitude and willingness to speak out on any topic to go along with his stellar play. His best seasons came in 2013 and 2014 when Seattle made two Super Bowl appearances. Sherman still was one of the better cornerbacks the past three seasons, ranking second in the NFL by allowing just 49.2 percent of passes against him to be caught, according to Pro Football Focus. Getting cut only adds fuel to Sherman. “It kind of reignited that gasoline ﬁre that I always had burning,” he said. “It just threw a lot more gas on it and I appreciate that and I’m thankful for this motivation and inspiration. I have a lot of people to show. I’m excited about those prospects.” That ﬁre was always evident against the 49ers, most notably when he went on a postgame interview tirade after sealing the NFC championship in January 2014 by deﬂecting a pass that turned a potential game-winning touchdown for the 49ers into an interception for the Seahawks. The following season Sherman celebrated a Thanksgiving night win at Levi’s Stadium by eating a turkey leg at midﬁeld, although he said that was prompted by NBC producers who told him to “eat the turkey” during the interview. “You’re excited after the game. You’re winning. We weren’t thinking anything else honestly. We were just enjoying the moment,” he said. “We played pretty well that game. I honestly didn’t think it was disrespectful. But people can take it any way they want to.” Sherman, who negotiated his own contract, described the few days after being released by Seattle as “chaos.” He was at the NFLPA meetings in Las Vegas when the Seahawks gave him the news and he heard from 49ers general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan almost as soon as the transaction hit the waiver wire.
