Reflecting back on 2019, I’m really proud of the work my team and I have done in Congress to help Ohioans and their families. Despite the partisanship and media focus on impeachment, we’ve quietly been working hard on both sides of the aisle to find solutions to real challenges facing Ohioans. In all, President Trump signed more than 50 of my bipartisan legislative initiatives into law, on issues ranging from helping people save for retirement to the drug crisis that has gripped Ohio. In 2019, I continued to take the lead in the Senate in tackling the addiction epidemic. Over the past Sen. Rob few years, I’ve worked to pass laws Portman like the Comprehensive Addiction Contributing and Recovery Act (CARA), which has been used to help expand educacolumnist tion, treatment and recovery services. I pushed to ensure CARA has the resources it needs to make a difference, securing a record $658 million in funding for CARA grants in 2020. In addition, my bipartisan Combating Meth and Cocaine Act was recently signed into law for 2020, allowing grant funds allocated to combat opioid addiction to also be used for treatment and recovery services for new threats like crystal meth and cocaine — psychostimulants that are surging across our state. We made some progress in passing legislation to improve health care access. For example, in April, the president signed into law my ACE Kids Act to improve health outcomes and care coordination for children with complex medical conditions on Medicaid, and it’s already starting to make a difference. I successfully fought for Ohio’s defense installations and our military families, too. In the passed National Defense Authorization Act, critical Ohio installations like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton and the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center (JSMC) in Lima got the resources needed to complete their important missions. That includes $1.7 billion to produce needed Abrams tanks and $523 million to produce armored Stryker vehicles at JSMC, plus $394 million to upgrade existing Stryker vehicles. This ensures that our men and women on the front lines have the best and most lethal equipment. Wright-Patt, the largest single-site employer in Ohio, continues to expand its important role in safeguarding our national security with my strong support. It will receive nearly $121 million to finish upgrades to its National Air and Space Intelligence Center, which provides vital intelligence to our country’s leaders about threats from the skies. On top of all these important initiatives, our service members will see a 3.1 percent across-theboard pay raise — the largest in a decade. I’m also proud President Trump recently signed into law the SECURE Act. This bipartisan retirement legislation included provisions I authored to help more Americans save for their retirement by encouraging small businesses to offer retirement plans to their workers, ensuring millions of part-time employees can access 401(k) plans, and increase the age for required minimum distributions from 70 1/2 to 72. Our successes in 2019 weren’t just about passing laws. I’ve worked with my colleagues to conduct proper oversight so we know our laws are being enforced. As Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, I held hearings on important issues like Chinese influence at U.S. colleges, the cost of federal government shutdowns, and foreign talent recruitment schemes used to steal U.S. technology. As a result of this oversight, I’m introducing bipartisan legislation soon to offer solutions. These are only a few of our legislative accomplishments in 2019. I encourage Ohioans to visit portman.senate.gov for a more in-depth look at our wins for our state. While I’m pleased to have achieved a lot in the last year, there is lots more to do. In 2020, I will continue to be an independent voice for Ohio promoting good policy outcomes for our state. That will include working to pass my bipartisan JOBS Act, which will expand access to Pell Grants so Ohioans can afford shorter-term job training programs that will get them meaningful, goodpaying jobs. I’ll work to pass my FIGHT Fentanyl Act, which will permanently criminalize fentanylrelated substances so that law enforcement can keep these dangerous synthetic opioids out of our communities. We must do more on retirement security, which is why I’ve introduced the Retirement Security & Savings Act. Finally, I’m working to ensure the Senate passes the new U.S.-MexicoCanada trade agreement, which will expand markets and level the playing field for Ohio workers, farmers, and small business owners. I’m confident that we can continue to make progress on these and other issues in 2020. My top priority will continue to be delivering results for Ohio.

THEIR VIEW Parenting matters…a lot For decades now, politicians have pushed the false narrative that our children’s development begins when they enter school, and that, if we just allow them to create laws that govern education, all kids will become successful. Of course, that is not true, but, as we have come to know, politicians are often unmoved by facts. After all, they have party platforms and personal agendas to satisfy. So, onward they have marched. A new documentary from Yahoo news, titled, “Baby Brain,” documents research on the negative impact poverty often has on unborn children and what can be done to mitigate the damage. Beth Greenfield, senior editor of Yahoo News, reviewed the documentary in an online article titled, “Harvard Research: Impact of Poverty Begins in the Womb, But It Doesn’t Have To.” It has been well established that children who grow up in poverty are often negatively impacted by their life experiences. But, now, as Ms. Greenfield writes, a study conducted by members of Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child, under the direction of Harvard Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Jack Shonkoff, has determined that the impact of poverty is also often felt before a child is born. For many years, medical research has told us that expectant mothers who abuse drugs and/or alcohol, who smoke cigarettes, who are exposed to unacceptable levels of lead, who are poorly nourished, and who or even reversed engage in other by making radical unhealthy activichanges in prenatal ties, jeopardize and postnatal care the future health for poor moms.

At the same time, new moms develop a close relationship with a nurse who becomes a trusted resource they can rely on for advice on everything from caring for their child to taking steps to provide a stable, secure future for their new family. Throughout the partnership, the nurse provides new moms with the confidence and the tools they need not only to assure a healthy start for their babies, but to envision a life of stabilities and opportunities for both mother and child.” Data from the longterm study demonstrate the effectiveness of the program. For example, the research has shown that involvement in the program has shown “a 48 percent decrease in child abuse and neglect, 67 percent less behavioral and intellectual problems in children at age 6, 72 percent fewer convictions of mothers (measured when the child is 15), 82 percent increase in months employed, and 35 percent fewer hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.” In other words, NFP research shows that teaching moms-to-be and new moms how to properly parent has an enormously positive longterm impact not only on the mother, but also on their children. So, despite what our politicians would like for us to believe, parenting actually matters … a lot. Imagine that.

Why, they want to know, do you bring up race so often? The answer is simple. I have studied, taught and researched race for more than forty years. My position at the UNC was Director of Diversity Education, Research and Assessment, so it was my job. Race is not just interesting to me, it is fascinating. Not as a painful or ugly or divisive subject, but as an exploration of human beings and their attitudes, beliefs, ideals, and biases. What are they based on? Where did they learn them? I have not been the personal object of much racism. No one has ever called me a racial slur, at least not to my face. I have had the usual bumps up against racists and racism, mostly when I was younger. I have had to endure the usual angst when things happen that are obviously the result of racism that all people of conscience have to deal with. But, I have not some people very been exposed to uncomfortable much directed racbecause they think ism the way some you are going to people of color make it a queshave. tion of villain and That means I victim, but it does can study and not have to be that research the sub- Cookie ject with some Newsom way.

Our dealings with race Discussing race makes have been hampered by several factors including continued segregation in many places. If you do not interact with different races it is easy to hold on to stereotypes and untruths about them and base your taught biases on those fallacies. So, do dabble in race talk, discuss it with folks who are able to not be defensive or overly emotional on the subject. There are fascinating subjects to be explored from origins of slang to cultural “borrowing” of customs, increasing interracial marriages, traditions and more. Talk about who taught you about race and if you found out they were right or wrong. Make rules about being respectful of other viewpoints, ask questions and listen to the answers, be honest. Race is not a subject to be avoided, particularly in a changing time. Cookie Newsom is a Greene County, Ohio resident and guest columnist.

(AP) — Police said Thursday that they are seeking a 30-yearold Michigan man in connection with a New Year’s day shooting at a West Virginia bar in which seven people were shot and wounded. The bar was ordered shut by authorities Thursday, a day after the violence. Huntington Mayor Steve Williams said earlier in the day that officials had issued a cease and desist order to close Kulture Hookah Bar, citing licencing issues and a failure to pay taxes. The shooting early Wednesday followed a dispute between people and was not a targeted attack, police have said. Seven people were wounded and are report- ed in stable condition. A Huntington police statement late Thursday said Kymonie Desean Davis of Detroit, Michigan, was being sought on an arrest warrant in connection with the shooting. Police said the 30-year-old man faces seven counts of wanton endangerment and one count of malicious wounding. The statement said police consider Davis to be armed and dangerous and urged anyone with knowledge of the man’s whereabouts to contact authorities. Williams deplored the shooting in a statement earlier in the day. “Any incident of this nature in the downtown or in any of our neighborhoods is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Williams said.

The museum was recently able to turn on its light fixtures on the exterior of the 918 Third Avenue building as a proverbial celebration of its utility connections. “It never fails to amaze me the support we get from the community,” said Davis. “It’s not uncommon for folks to stop by and ask us if we’re open. We aren’t officially, of course, but we’re happy to take them through and see what progress we’ve made…We’ve been focusing on completing our office area to use for work and we’ve finished two bathrooms, got running water, power and we’ve got our heat going.” Heating ducts and light fixtures have yet to be added to the main storage area inside the freight station building, but power has been run throughout the structure. Davis said the museum is gearing to once again apply for Ohio capital bill funding as it’s allowed to reapply every few years. Previously the organization had been awarded $125,000 in March 2018. “If we get the grant again, we could potentially finish the freight area and open,” said Davis. Among other achievements, the museum added a former Ringling Brothers’ and Barnum and Bailey’s circus passenger car to its growing Light fixtures will be installed to match previous fixtures styles to add historical authenticity to the museum’s restoration.

Saudi Arabia, Iran’s top regional rival, added its own voice of caution against “all acts that may lead to aggravating the situation with unbearable consequences.” The White House sought to justify the killings with a tweet alleging that Soleimani “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.” “He should have been taken out many years ago!” U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted. But the president also told reporters: “We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war.” Oil prices surged as investors fretted about Mideast stability. Social media flooded with Associated Press PARIS — Global powers warned Friday that the American airstrike responsible for killing Iran’s top general made the world more dangerous and that escalation could set the entire Mideast aflame. Some U.S. allies suggested Iran shared in the blame by provoking the attack. The deaths of Gen. Qassem Soleimani and several associates drew immediate cries for revenge from Tehran and a chorus of appeals from other countries seeking reduced tensions between Iran and the United States. As U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called world capitals to defend the attack, diplomats tried to chart a way forward. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that a “harsh retaliation is waiting” for the U.S. He moved quickly to appoint Soleimani’s deputy, Maj. Gen.

Lynch, now the general manager of the Stern was big-city guy, friend to the small markets Tributes flowed for NEW YORK (AP) — hours Wednesday after David Stern had been Stern died at 77, from NBA commissioner for grateful players and barely a year when the teams who benefited Knicks won the 1985 from his 30 years of draft lottery, sending leadership.

Business may have boomed better in other places, but one move for the franchise was hard enough. Stern had no interest in another. “Commissioner Stern’s support of Memphis as an NBA market and the resulting arrival of the Grizzlies franchise in 2001 forever changed the trajectory of our city,” the Grizzlies said. “His continued support in standing alongside the Grizzlies organization in its creation of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Game in Memphis reflected his commitment to using the power of sport to transform lives.” The NBA loves its big stars and benefits from them being in the biggest markets, from Magic Johnson to Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, and now LeBron James being in Los Angeles, or Michael Jordan playing in Chicago. But Stern and the league admired the parity of the NFL, where smallmarket squads such as Green Bay, New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis have thrived. A better chance of achieving that was a driving force that led to the 2011 lockout, with the league hoping a more favorable salary structure and improved sharing of revenues would give any wellmanaged team a chance to compete, no matter its location. Teams such as Oklahoma City, Portland and Utah have since been relatively consistent winners, and Milwaukee currently sports the NBA’s best record. Occasionally, it took a larger effort from the league, especially in New Orleans. The NBA has never proven over the long term it will flourish in the city after moving from Charlotte, with Chris Paul and Anthony Davis both eventually seeking to be traded. But even though the Hornets were wellsupported in Oklahoma City after playing home games there following Hurricane Katrina, Stern felt it was important to return the team to New Orleans when it was ready to host games again, then sent the 2008 All-Star Game soon after. Later, he had the league take ownership of the franchise from George Shinn until it could find an owner who would keep the team in the city.

McCaffrey a double All-Pro pick; Gilmore, Thomas unanimous NEW YORK (AP) — Christian McCaffrey’s versatility and superb statistics helped him to a rare double: The Carolina Panthers running back has made The Associated Press NFL All-Pro Team at two positions. McCaffrey rushed for 1,387 yards and 15 touchdowns while catching a phenomenal 116 passes for 1,005 yards and four TDs. He became the third player in NFL history to finish with 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the same season, joining Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk and Roger Craig, who is on the senior ballot for the hall this year. That so impressed the 50 members of a nationwide media panel who regularly cover the NFL for McCaffrey to be voted the first-team running back and the top flex player. The flex position was created in 2016 to reward players who epitomize the way offense is now played in pro football. Not one fits that description better than McCaffrey, whose terrific season came for a 5-11 team. “It means a lot,” says McCaffrey, a third-year pro. ”It is a big honor and that is something that you don’t work hard for it, but when it comes you are really grateful and appreciative.” McCaffrey’s achievement was complemented by the unanimous selections of New Orleans receiver Michael Thomas and New England cornerback Stephon Gilmore. It’s the second straight season both made the squad, Thomas doing it with an NFL-record 149 catches, Gilmore anchoring the league’s topranked defense. Ravens sensation Lamar Jackson, who in his second season led Baltimore to a league-best 14-2 mark, was chosen as quarterback. Jackson and McCaffrey were among 14 first-time All-Pros. Rams safety Eric Weddle, who witnessed the jukes and jaunts of Jackson firsthand in a 45-6 Ravens romp. “When you get on the field and you get to the speed of what they run, it’s tough,” says Weddle, a former All-Pro. ”I mean, some of the plays I didn’t know who had the ball because they run it so efficiently. (Jackson) is one of a kind; he’s pretty special.” This special class includes several multiple All-Pros: Rams DT Aaron Donald and Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner, each for a fifth time; Cowboys right guard Zack Martin and Ravens kicker Justin Tucker for a fourth time. Bears kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson made his third All-Pro roster, as did Eagles center Jason Kelce and Texans receiver DeAndre “When you get on the field and you get to the speed of what they run, it’s tough. I mean, some of the plays I didn’t know who had the ball because they run it so efficiently. (Jackson) is one of a kind; he’s pretty special.” — Eric Weddle Rams safety Hopkins. All-Pros for the second time included Thomas, Gilmore, Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones, Steelers DT Cam Heyward, Patriots special teamer Matthew Slater, Colts left guard Quenton Nelson, and Ravens defensive back Marcus Peters, who shared that spot with the teammate Marlon Humphrey and the Chiefs’ Tyrann Mathieu (second appearance). Thomas, Gilmore, Nelson, Hopkins, Kelce, Martin, Donald, Wagner and Tucker repeated from 2018. The other newcomers were Humphrey; 49ers tight end George Kittle; Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley; Saints right tackle Ryan Ramczyk; Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt; Saints linebacker Demario Davis; Vikings LB Eric Kendricks; Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White; safeties Jamal Adams of the Jets and Minkah Fitzpatrick of the Steelers; Titans punter Brett Kern; and Saints punt returner Deonte Harris, the only rookie on the team. “When you got here and people start talking about All-Pro and that’s the best of the best, you’re like ‘Pro Bowl is cool, but I need to get the best of the best.,” says Wagner, who led the NFL in tackles this season. “As you get older you kind of understand how hard these things are to get. And so you don’t take any of them for granted and are very grateful for your health, grateful for your teammates. As you get older you reflect and you appreciate things differently that you might not have had when you were young.” Ramczyk once played Division III college ball. Now look at him. “It’s just pretty crazy that I was at a little D-3 school and I’m like, ‘If I’m going to play this game, I’m going to play to be the best I possibly can be,” he says, adding the All-Pro designation is “pretty awesome. It’s pretty cool.” Not surprisingly, Baltimore led the All-Pro Team with five selections, while New Orleans had four, Baltimore and Pittsburgh each had three. There were 16 AFC players and 13 from the NFC. �SPORTS 4B Sunday, January 5, 2020 Sunday Times-Sentinel Ohio beats Nevada 30-21 in Famous Idaho Potato Bowl BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Ohio quarterback Nathan Rourke is projected to be the top quarterback taken in the Canadian Football League draft this spring. He’s pretty good at the American collegiate version, too. Rourke, from Oakville, Ontario, accounted for 231 yards of offense and ran for a touchdown to help Ohio beat Nevada 30-21 on Friday in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Ohio (7-6) rebounded from a 1-3 start for its fifth straight winning season under coach Frank Solich. The 75-year-old former Nebraska coach received a two-year contract extension this week. Nevada (7-6), which dismissed defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel and two other defensive position coaches at the end of the regular season, didn’t find much of an answer for Ohio’s high-powered offense until the fourth quarter. The Wolfpack also were missing three key defensive starters, suspended for their participation in a fight in a loss to rival UNLV in the regular-season finale. Rourke, who finished with 144 yards passing and 87 yards rushing along with one touchdown, garnered MVP honors, but was uninterested in talking about it. When asked about his award, he quickly pivoted to talk about the defense and their stand at the end of the game. Later, Rourke apologized for never winning a MAC championship during his three years at the school. “I love coaching him,” going to play. But when Allison went out with an injury, Tuggle didn’t hesitate to go. “I was wondering whether or not he needed to carry the ball in the opposite hand all the time,” Solich said. “He said no, he’d be able to handle it. Starting out we weren’t real sure how he was going to be able to function. Then when he had to get in and start playing, it was obvious he was going to be able to play with it.” Taters over water After the victory, Solich got a traditional victory bath.

Bearcats roar past Boston College, 38-6 Villanova’s Jay Wright named AP coach of the decade By John Marshall Associated Press The final seconds of the 2016 national title game were some of the most dramatic in college basketball history. North Carolina’s Marcus Paige hit an off-balance 3-pointer to tie the game with 4.7 seconds left, only to be upstaged by Villanova’s Kris Jenkins hitting a buzzerbeating, game-winning 3-pointer. Amid all the drama, Villanova coach Jay Wright remained calm. When Jenkins let go of his shot, Wright nonchalantly said “Bang,” then walked over to shake Tar Heels coach Roy Williams’ hand as if the Wildcats had just won an exhibition game, not a national championship. Smooth as one of his designer suits, Wright turned Villanova into a national powerhouse during the 2010s, leading the Wildcats to two national titles while changing the way college basketball is played. Wright’s success on the outskirts of Philadelphia made him a runaway choice as men’s coach of the decade. He received 16 of 24 votes from a panel of Associated Press poll voters, well ahead of Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski with five votes. Gonzaga’s Mark Few, Kentucky’s John Calipari and Virginia’s Tony Bennett had one each. “Jay Wright’s resume speaks for itself with two national titles in the 2010s,” ESPN analyst and AP voter Dick Vitale said. “He has developed a consistent winner and has enjoyed success on and off the court. He has a special winner’s mentality.” Before he arrived, Villanova was known for upsetting Georgetown in the 1986 national championship game and the occasional trip to the NCAA Tournament. Wright needed three years to build a foundation before Villanova broke through with a trip to the 2005 Sweet 16. An Elite Eight appearance followed the next year and the Wildcats reached the Final Four in 2009. Villanova won its first national title under Wright in 2016 on Jenkins’ shot and decimated the NCAA Tournament field in 2018, winning every game by double digits on its way to the national title. Wright has a schoolrecord 458 wins, six Big East Conference championships, four Big East Tournament titles and 14 NCAA Tournament appearances to go with those two national titles. “Honestly, we’ve had success because we’ve had really good players. We really have,” Wright said. “We’ve had really talented guys. You can see them all playing in the NBA and see what they did.” Wright was the one pulling the strings. He arrived at Villanova in 2001 after a successful seven-year run at Hofstra, where he led the Pride to the NCAA Tournament his final two years. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Desmond Ridder and No. 23 Cincinnati wrote a much happier ending to their season. Ridder ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns and threw a scoring pass to lead No. 23 Cincinnati to a 38-6 victory over Boston College on Thursday in the lightning-delayed Birmingham Bowl. It was a cathartic win for a team coming off back-to-back losses to No. 15 Memphis, including in the American Athletic Conference championship game. “I don’t know if you guys ever lost a conference championship, but that’s not a good taste,” said Ridder, who missed the regular-season finale with a sore throwing shoulder. “If we had lost today, three losses in the end, that’s not a good taste for anyone.” They didn’t have to worry about that possibility for long, dominating after the delay of about 1 1/2 hours midway through the first quarter. The Bearcats (11-3) reached 11 wins for the second straight season and fourth in program history. “There was a bad taste in our mouth,” Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell said. “And kind of the way the night went with the weather and things like that, and the delay. There was some talk about, ‘Hey, this thing might not get off.’ “There was no way that I was going to leave Birmingham without those seniors and those guys in that locker room having an opportunity Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder (9) hands the ball off to Michael Warren (3) during the first half of a Sept. 28 football game against Marshall at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. to go out there and put their hard work on display for one another. If we had to stay here ‘til midnight, we would have stayed here ‘til midnight because those guys deserved that.” The Eagles (6-7) were outgained 459-164 in total yards to finish a turbulent postseason. Coach Steve Addazio was fired after seven seasons and star tailback A.J. Dillon declared for the NFL draft and skipped the bowl game. Dillon was clearly missed. Wide receivers coach Rich Gunnell led the team through the bowl game, while newly hired Jeff Hafley was on hand as a spectator after finishing his duties as Ohio State’s co-defensive coordinator. “We just didn’t come out and play well,” Gunnell said. “We got our butts kicked.” Boston College got its only points on special teams. Mike Palmer blocked a field goal and Brandon Sebas- tian scooped it up and returned it 67 yards in the third quarter. Ridder had two 13-yard scoring runs and a 14-yarder, setting a Cincinnati bowl record for rushing and total TDs. He had 21 carries and also passed for 95 yards with an 8-yard score to Malick Mbodj before leaving the game early in the fourth quarter. Michael Warren Jr. also had 105 yards on 21 carries. The defense set up a touchdown with Ethan Tucky’s forced fumble. Deja vu The weather delay likely brought back some memories for Boston College fans and players. They were part of a bowl game in Dallas last year that was canceled after a delay of similar length, also in the first quarter and also against a No. 23-ranked team, Boise State. “In our guys’ minds, the coaches’ minds, we’re like, ‘Here we go The takeaway again,’” Gunnell said. Boston College: “It’s literally lightning Couldn’t generate any strikes twice in the same consistent offense and place. It’s weird how it clearly missed Dillon.

The NBA released the first voting totals on Thursday and Doncic has received 1,073,957 — 599 more than Mil- waukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo. LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is the only other player to top the million-vote mark so far, putting him well on his way to what would be a 16th consecutive All-Star appearance. James, Lakers teammate Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard are the runaway leaders in the Western Conference frontcourt. Doncic and Houston’s James Harden also are off to enormous leads in the West guards race. In the East, Antetokounmpo, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid and Toronto’s Pascal Siakam are the leaders for the three starting frontcourt spots. Atlanta’s Trae Young has Top-seeded Ravens exhibited greatness after mediocre start OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens had just given up 30 points in the second half of a 40-25 loss at home to Cleveland that dropped their record to 2-2. As he gathered his players in the locker room, coach John Harbaugh was more disappointed than livid. “John made a statement that rings in my head: ‘We’re not a good football team right now. We’re not,.’” guard Marshal Yanda recalled this week. It was a candid assessment of an underachieving squad that looked nothing like a Super Bowl contender. Flash forward to last Sunday, when Baltimore completed the regular season with a 12-game winning streak by beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-10. The Ravens rested seven starters because they had already clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Comeback complete. Standing at the lectern following the Pittsburgh game, Harbaugh looked back at the turning point of the Ravens’ finest regular season with a satisfying sense of accomplishment. “We were 2-2, and the statement was made in the locker room that, ‘We’ll find out what we’re made of,’” he said. “And boy, did we ever find out — 12 wins later.” The Ravens enter the postseason with a first-round bye. They will open the playoffs next Saturday night at home against either Buffalo, Houston or Tennessee.

Boston’s Kemba Walker is 450 votes back of Irving. Other notables from the first week of fan voting, which began on Christmas Day: Boston’s Tacko Fall is sixth in the East frontcourt balloting, Golden State’s Stephen Curry is fourth in the West guard vote so far despite being sidelined by injury, and Portland’s Carmelo Anthony is holding the No. 8 spot in the West frontcourt race. Fan voting continues through Jan. 20. The starters for the game — three frontcourt, two guards per team — will be determined through a system that gives fans 50% of the vote, players 25% and a media panel the remaining 25%.

Gleason to receive Congressional Gold Medal NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason, who became a leading advocate for people struggling with Lou Gehrig’s disease after he was diagnosed with the paralyzing condition, will be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal during a ceremony on Jan. 15. President Donald Trump signed legislation last year awarding Gleason the medal, which is the highest civilian honor awarded by Congress. U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy from Louisiana announced the date for the ceremony in a news release Friday, noting Gleason’s struggles with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative neuromuscular disease commonly referred to as ALS that left Gleason paralyzed.

He has remained positive in the face of extreme adversity, inspiring all who hear his story,” Cassidy said. On the field, Gleason is best known for his electrifying blocked punt during the Saints’ first game in the rebuilt Superdome after 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. The city was still rebuilding from the devastating hurricane when Gleason dove to block a punt in the opening minutes of the game against rival Atlanta Falcons. The stadium itself had to be rebuilt after the storm tore open its roof as thousands of people sheltered inside. The play was such an important part of the team’s history and the city’s recov- ery that it was immortalized in a 9-foot-tall (2.7-metertall) bronze statue outside the stadium called “Rebirth.” 9 feet Gleason played seven seasons in the NFL — all with New Orleans. He and his wife continue to live in the city where he’s frequently seen at sporting events, fundraisers, Saints’ football practices and other events. In January 2011, he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, a struggle he documented in the 2016 film titled “Gleason.” Cassidy said Gleason worked with the Congressional Gold Medal Committee on the medal’s design. It features Gleason in a Saints jersey. Images of a mountain and forest pay homage to his native state of Washington.

He had the Bengals make an onside kick when they led Glanville’s team by 45 points, and Wyche waved derisively at Glanville as he ran off the field following a 61-7 win near the end of the 1989 season.
