Under the direction of Dan Dunham and Nathan Jeffers, “Offed at the Bakeoff” tells the story of the 33rd annual Knotting Bake-Off, brought to you by J & J Toothpaste. Many contestants have gathered at the Knotting Inn down at the Jersey Shore, each hoping their perfectly crafted baked good will win the coveted blue ribbon. But it seems someone’s dessert is more deadly than tasty, though, when they discover an entire gaggle of bratty students have been poisoned during a press conference. It is clear that someone at the inn has a sweet tooth for murder. Everyone at the inn is considered a suspect, including the egotistical bake-off champion, the hard-of-hearing elderly man, the practical jokester nun, the silent ﬁtness model, the clumsy reporter, and the amnesiac woman. When a detective arrives on the scene, he asks the audience to help him ﬁgure out whodunit. Flying accusations and ﬂying pies are just a few of POMEROY — The Meigs County Board of Elections will get the ﬁnal say on if the proposed bond issue for the Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and Correctional Facility will move forward for a May special election.

Contact the subdivision submitting the question/issue for clariﬁcation, or the administrator in the Secretary of State’s ofﬁce who reviewed the ballot language for clariﬁcation on the purpose wording,” the email quotes the See LEVY | 5 FOR THE RECORD Meigs County Sheriff ’s Office Sean Michael Myers, Kait Ramirez, Diana Bissell and Sam McCall rehearse for the upcoming River City Players production. the fun ingredients that make this murder mystery a recipe for a hilarious night at the theatre. “We’ve been laughing so much during rehearsals, our audience will deﬁnitely enjoy this show,” Dunham and Jeffers said. “It’s a very funny script with some slapstick comedy and an entire ensemble of hilarious characters all set against a backdrop of the 1950s.” Featured in the cast and crew INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 include Nathan Becker, Diana Bissell, Janis Carnahan, Rusty Carnahan, Tony Carnahan, Traci Rowe Chapman, Dan Dunham, Jessica Holliday, Nathan Jeffers, Sam McCall, Celia McCoy, Sara Michael, Sean Michael Myers, Kait Ramirez, Shyra Summers, Bailey Swatzel, Tara Swatzel, Gary Walker, and Rich Wamsley.

Man pleads not guilty in case based partly on pacemaker HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A man charged with arson based partly on data collected from his pacemaker pleaded not guilty Tuesday to setting his Ohio home on ﬁre. Authorities have said gasoline was found on Ross Compton’s clothing and that the ﬁre started in multiple places, but Lt. Jimmy Cunningham told WLWT-TV the medical data represented some of “the key pieces of evidence” in the case. Compton’s home telephone number is disconnected, and his attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday. But Compton previously told WLWT that the investigation had “gone way out of control” and that he had “no motive whatsoever to burn down my house.” Compton told authorities that when he saw the ﬁre Sept. 19 inside his Middletown home, he packed some belongings in a suitcase and bags, broke a window with his cane and threw the items through the window before carrying them to his car, according to police. He also said he had a cardiac pacemaker, authorities said. Court records show that police got a search warrant to retrieve electronic data stored on the heart device. The data included Compton’s heart rate, pacer demand and cardiac rhythms before, during and after the ﬁre, police said.

NEWS FROM ACROSS OHIO NE Ohio ex-councilwoman faces federal trial in bribery case picion of murder. The Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News reports that the 46-year-old told a dispatcher that she had moved back in “to work things out” with her longtime spouse and that she shot him while they were arguing. No attorney was listed in court records for her. She is slated to make an initial court appearance Wednesday. Police say no one else was at the home when the shooting occurred. They say they recovered a handgun and other evidence at the scene. CLEVELAND (AP) — A former northeastern Ohio councilwoman accused of accepting bribes for political inﬂuence will have her case heard by a federal jury after refusing a plea deal that would have included 30 months in prison. The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/2lkOu25 ) reports that a jury was chosen Monday in Cleveland for the trial of former Summit County councilwoman Tamela Lee.

You know the ads I’m talking about — the ones that were less about selling a product than conveying a sentiment about America. The Budweiser ad that depicted Adolphus Busch immigrating from Germany in the 1850s. (“Go back home,” he’s told as he walks down the street.) The Coca-Cola commercial, revived from 2014, in which Americans of different nationalities sing “America the Beautiful” in their native languages. The Expedia ad about inﬂuencing “narrow minds” and trying to “puncture prejudice.” And, of course, the 84 Lumber commercial that tells the story of two illegal immigrants, a mother and a daughter, trying to ﬁnd their way to the U.S. These ads have been widely depicted as being “political,” and given the times we’re living in, I suppose they are. When the Coke ad ﬁrst ran three years ago, it was seen as just another of the company’s heart-tugging ads about inclusion. Not this time. With the football game coming so soon after President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven Muslimmajority countries, the prism through which one saw these commercials was different. Not surprisingly, opponents of the ban took to Twitter to heap praise on the companies for standing up to the White House — often vowing to buy their products (Budweiser especially). Supporters of the ban, meanwhile, called for a boycott of Budweiser and 84 Lumber, among others. On Tuesday morning, articles about the Super Bowl ads — sold by Fox for $5 million per 30 seconds — homed in on the politics. The Verge said that “it was almost impossible” not to see those message ads as “opposition against the new administration.” The New York Times quoted Rob Schwartz, the chief executive of TBWAChiatDay’s New York ofﬁce, saying, in reference to one pro-diversity ad, “It’s a big slap in the face of, ‘Dude, this is America.’” But I don’t think the ads were really meant to turn immigration supporters into customers — or to turn away customers who were pro-Trump. (Are they really going to stop drinking Bud?) With one exception, which we’ll get to in a moment, I think the advertisers were aiming at a different constituency: their own employees. Go to the website of just about any big company. You’ll invariably see a section devoted to the company’s commitment to inclusion and diversity. You will also see a section about corporate social responsibility. And there will surely be some mention of the desire “to make a difference.” Employees — and I’m speaking here mainly of whitecollar employees who work in big ofﬁces — want to believe that their employer is trying “to do the right thing.” Along with “making a difference” and corporate social responsibility, that notion makes them feel good about working for Budweiser; it allows them to feel that they are serving a purpose larger than just selling beer. To take another example, being environmentally responsible may or may not save a company money, but it will surely cause the majority of its employees to swell with pride. That’s a big part of the reason companies do it. In the global economy, every big company employs people who work abroad. U.S.-based employees travel around the globe. Most big companies also employ immigrants. Employees take it for granted that they will have colleagues who speak in accents, come from different backgrounds and are different races. At Uber, employees practically revolted when it appeared that their CEO, Travis Kalanick, would attend a Trump economic advisory council meeting. After a tense all-hands meeting, he resigned from the council. Elon Musk went to the Trump meeting but felt the need to state publicly that he objected to the ban. Google employees staged a walkout to protest it. Comcast employees in Philadelphia held a rally in front of City Hall. On Sunday night, a few hours after the Super Bowl, 97 companies signed an amicus brief asking the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to block the ban. The brief lists a host of reasons why the ban is bad for business: “It hinders the ability of American companies to attract great talent; increases costs imposed on business,” etc. But there was also this: Immigrants make many of the Nation’s greatest discoveries. America has long recognized the importance of protecting ourselves against those who would do us harm. But it has done so while maintaining our fundamental commitment to welcoming immigrants. As for that one exception I mentioned earlier, it’s the ad for 84 Lumber, a $2.9 billion building-materials company south of Pittsburgh. The 84 Lumber ad extols not just immigration, but illegal entry into the U.S. It depicts the arduous journey of a mother and daughter in search of a better life, and though Fox refused to allow the company to show the full version, the ad even shows a border wall of the sort Trump wants to build. A few days before the Super Bowl, the company president, Maggie Hardy Magerko, spoke to a reporter for The New York Times about it. Magerko, who says she voted for Trump, said bluntly that the ad was a recruiting tool — presumably meaning she wanted illegal immigrants to apply for jobs. “I am all about those people who are willing to ﬁght and go the extra yard to make the difference and then, if they have to, climb higher, go under, do whatever it takes to become a citizen,” she told the Times. Or, for that matter, to become a worker at 84 Lumber. Or the founder of a brewery in St. Louis. Joe Nocera is a Bloomberg View columnist. Readers may email him at jnocera3@bloomberg.net. THEIR VIEW Frederick Douglass did do ‘an amazing job’ By Taylor Batten Contributing columnist President Donald Trump said Frederick Douglass “is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job that is being recognized more and more.” Douglass, who died 122 years ago, escaped slavery and was a leading abolitionist. We don’t know that he’s being recognized more and more, but we do agree with Trump that he’s done — or did — an amazing job. incur my own abhorrence.” — “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” — “No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last ﬁnding the other end fastened about his own neck.” — “At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed.” Now seems like a good time to share some of Frederick Douglass’s thoughts. They are all important, and some are especially relevant in the age of Trump. Americans might even ﬁnd some gems in here upon which they can all agree: — “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” — “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” — “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” — “Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.” — “I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to lina, during a civil rights protest against a whitesonly bowling alley.

Town recorder Roberta Hysell completed an application that resulted in a $2,005 grant from the Robert and Louise Claﬂin Foundation. Jamie Roush of RK Innovations, LLC, oil ﬁeld services, New Haven, donated $250 to the center, and approximately $600 was raised at a Halloween haunted house. The money was pooled to order 60 new pairs of roller and in-line skates. Children can rent the skates for a dollar, or bring their own, although no “heely” shoes are permitted on the ﬂoor. Admission is $2, and concessions of pizza, pretzels, candy, drinks and other goodies are offered for sale. While most of the youngsters are happy just to be skating in circles, things really get exciting when the special events begin. There are races, as well as the ever-popular limbo contests. Hysell, Jessica Greene, Becky Knight and Lisa Flowers are regular volunteers at the center, along with Allen. The group will hold skating through March 10. There will not be skating in the case of inclement weather, however. The non-smoking community center is also available for party rental at $50 for two hours.

We didn’t need Faith (Teaford) to score, we got extra scoring from other people. Trimble is pretty good defensively, but I know they’ve had trouble scoring a little bit.

The River Valley girls basketball team suffered its 15th straight setback, on Monday night in Athens County, as the Lady Raiders fell to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division host Nelsonville-York. Nelsonville-York (16-6, 9-3 TVC Hocking) outscored River Valley (2-19, 2-9) by a 14-to-4 clip in the opening stanza and extended the advantage to 29-12 by halftime. The Lady Buckeyes opened the second half with a 16-to-4 run, pushing their advantage to 29 points, at 45-16. RVHS outscored the hosts 10-to-7 over the ﬁnal eight minutes, and Nelsonville-York capped off its regular season with a 52-26 victory. The Lady Raiders won the rebounding battle by a narrow 48-47 edge, but the Silver and Black committed 30 turnovers, twice as many as NYHS. Nelsonville-York claimed advantages in steals (20to-10), assists (10-to-1) and blocked shots (3-to1). River Valley shot 9-of-44 (20.5 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 0-of-5 from three-point range. NYHS was 21-of-73 (28.8 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 3-of-22 (13.6 percent) from beyond the arc. From the free throw line, RVHS was 8-of-21 (38.1 percent) and Nelsonville-York was 7-of-13 (53.8 percent). Erin Jackson led the Lady Raiders with 10 points, followed by Jaden Neal and Maggie Campbell with four each. Jessica Steele and Beth Gillman both scored three points, while Cierra Roberts added two markers. Campbell led RVHS on the glass with 15 rebounds, while Jackson paced the Lady Raider defense with four steals. The Lady Buckeyes were led by Jessie Addis with 27 points, giving the NYHS junior 1,001 career points. Addis surpassed the 1,000-point plateau in the third quarter and is the ﬁfth Lady Buckeye to achieve the feat. Sam Taylor and Jordan Fick both scored four points in the win, with Taylor marking team-highs of 12 rebounds and ﬁve assists and Fick recording a game-best three rejections.

Lady Marauders rout, sweep Vikings By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com McARTHUR, Ohio — Meigs High School girls basketball coach Jarrod Kasun was quite emphatic with his postgame media comments on Monday night. “By far, this is the best game we’ve played all year. It’s not even close,” he said. And, truth be told, given what the Lady Marauders did at Vinton County, that point would be difficult to argue. Meigs erased an early 12-5 deficit, then blitzed the host Vikings 36-15 in the middle two quarters — en route to capturing a convincing 53-35 Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division victory. Simply put, the Marauders played well offensively in the opening three periods — despite their good shots not falling through in the first. But Meigs really found the rhythm in the second and third frames, taking the lead at the 3:07 mark of the second stanza — and never relinquishing it from there. By outscoring the Vikings 18-10 in the second eight minutes, the Maroon and Gold managed a 27-22 halftime advantage —then blew the game open with another 18-point output in the third. Simultaneously, the Lady Marauders stymied Vinton County to only five third-period points — as the Vikings endured a four-minute and 57-second scoring drought, in which they fell behind 41-24 in the process. Finally, Meigs scored six unanswered points in a 3:57 span for its largest lead of the night — 49-27 with 5:20 remaining. With the victory, the Lady Marauders made it six triumphs in their last seven outings —raising their record to 12-9 and 8-3 in the TVC-Ohio. The loss left the Lady Vikings at 9-12 — and 6-5 in the league. Kasun also claimed the importance of Monday night’s matchup. “I made this the biggest game of the year, because if we win this game, we can finish in third-place all alone in the league. This was a huge game for us. All of our kids really stepped up and played great games tonight,” he said. The Lady Marauders doubled up the Lady Vikings (22-11) in total field goals, and had four players with at least nine points. Devin Humphreys had five total field goals towards a team-high dozen points, including a pair of three-pointers —the second of which made it 32-24 with 6:12 to play in the third. She scored seven in the quarter, as Alli Hatfield added 11 — on four baskets and 3-of-3 foul shots. Kassidy Betzing and Marissa Noble netted nine points apiece, as Noble finished with four field goals — while Betzing bagged three field goals and a pair of second-quarter free throws. Both canned a secondstanza three-pointer, including Betzing’s with 2:18 remaining — making it 23-18 and capping nine unanswered points over a two-minute stretch. Madison Fields, Madison Hendricks and Danni Morris made two baskets apiece for four points, including Hendricks hitting a short runner in the lane to beat the first-half buzzer. After Vinton County’s Cassie Bentley tallied her only second-half points just 57 seconds into the third quarter, the Marauders scored on their next four possessions —part of 14 unanswered over almost five minutes. Hatfield had an oldfashioned three-point play, then Humphreys scored off a Betzing assist to make it 41-24 at the 2:22 mark. The Lady Vikings’ only other points of the period were a Josie Ousley bucket at the 2:06 mark —and a free throw by Darian Radabaugh just 34 seconds later. “In the first quarter, we had open shots but we just didn’t make anything. But we finally slowed the ball down, we got shots in rhythm, we kept crashing the offensive boards and kept getting shot after shot. And they finally started going in. In the third quarter, it was all clicking,” said Kasun. “When the ball goes through the hoop, it’s just contagious. With our size and athletic ability, we have to be relentless. On the defensive end, we have to rebound. On the offensive end, we’re actually a pretty good team when we hit shots.” Something the Vikings did not do much of following the first quarter. They were unofficially 11-of-50 from the field, as Bentley led the way with 14 points — but was shut out for the final 15 minutes. She scored nine of Vinton County’s dozen first-period points, as her three-pointer from the top of the key made it 12-5 at the 1:25 mark. From that point on, the Lady Marauders outscored the Vikings 48-23. Erin Jones made three threes for the Vikings for nine points. The Lady Marauders will close out the regular season on Thursday night — when they host TVC-Ohio champion Alexander.

Both teams recorded 15 steals, but Southern claimed a 6-to2 edge in blocked shots and a 10-to-2 assists advantage. “We ran with the ball tonight, we pushed it, and that’s what we have to do,” Coach Wolfe said. “We can not walk the ball down the ﬂoor, we have to push it. I thought Phoenix (Cleland) did a real nice job pushing the ball. We just have to keep building from this.” Southern shot 14-of55 (25.5 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 1-of-8 (12.5 percent) from three-point range. Meanwhile, the Lady Tomcats were 4-of-45 (8.9 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 1-of19 (5.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Both teams attempted 22 free throws, with Southern making 14 for 63.6 percent, and Trimble making 10 for 45.5 percent. SHS senior Faith Teaford led the Purple and Gold with a double-double of 19 points and 14 rebounds, to go with a game-best three blocked shots. Phoenix Cleland was next for Southern with six points, followed by Macie Michael with ﬁve.

Falcons clip Lady Rebels, 50-36 By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com HEMLOCK, Ohio — Once again, another slow start didn’t do the Lady Rebels any favors. That’s because visiting South Gallia, in falling behind 29-15 at halftime on Monday night, fell to the Miller Falcons 50-36 — in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division girls basketball tilt inside Dunlap Gymnasium in Hemlock. The Lady Rebels trailed 13-5 following the opening quarter, scoring only on a Kiley Stapleton three-pointer and an Aaliyah Howell two-pointer. In the second stanza, the Lady Falcons outscored South Gallia 16-10, as Howell hit a pair of threes and a two — along with a bucket by Olivia Hornsby. Both teams tallied 21 points in the second half, but Miller won the third frame 9-8 and the fourth 13-12. With the win, Miller made it a season sweep of the Lady Rebels — having prevailed at South Gallia earlier this year. The Lady Falcons raised their record to 9-12 — and 6-9 in the TVC-Hocking. South Gallia slipped to 4-17 — and to 2-13 in the league. Howell hit a fourth-quarter free throw towards a team-high 11 points —as Hornsby had nine points and Stapleton scored eight. Hornsby had a three and a two in the third period, and another deuce in the fourth. Stapleton, meanwhile, sank a third-quarter three-ball — and made a pair of foul shots in the last. Amaya Howell, on a ﬁeld goal and 4-of-4 fourth-quarter free throws, scored six points. Christine Grifﬁth, on a fourthperiod basket, rounded out the Red and Gold. South Gallia shot an improved 7-of-10 from the free-throw line, and was better than Miller’s 3-of16. Ashley Spencer poured in a game-high 21 points to pace the Lady Falcons, who also got a dozen points apiece from Haille Joseph and Olivia Houk. Houk hit two of Miller’s made free throws, while Spencer meshed the other. Lacey Alexander with a trey and Sarah Banik with a deuce rounded out the Falcon scoring.

There was more involving James, who produced a career-high 17 assists and 32 points before fouling out 47 seconds into the extra period. That’s when Kyrie Irving took over, scoring 11 of his 23 points in OT, including a tiebreaking 3 with 35 seconds left, to help the Cleveland Cavaliers edge the Washington Wizards 140-135 in a game that felt more akin to the playoffs in late May than the regular season in early February. Love provided 39 points, 12 rebounds and the length-of-the-court pass that led to James’ “He did what?!” 3 at the end of regulation. “LeBron made a heck of a shot,” Wizards guard John Wall said, “that you probably make one in a million times.” It put the reigning NBA champion Cavs in position to end surging Washington’s winning streaks of 17 in a row at home and seven in a row overall. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, February 8, 2017 Automotive Miscellaneous Help Wanted General Best Deal New & Used Jet Aeration Motors repaired, new & rebuilt in stock.

The Division of Mineral Resources Management prepared and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, United States Department of the Interior, concurred that the activities being undertaken by the proposed project qualify as a category of actions which would not have significant effects on the environment, either individually or cumulatively. The certification was submitted by the Division in application for Title IV financial assistance in reclaiming and restoring land and water resources adversely affected by past mining. A copy of the certification is available from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mineral Resources Management, 29371 Wheelabout Road, McArthur, Ohio 45651. The project covered by this action is titled “Adkins Stream Capture” (MG-Sb-95) and is located in Fraction 2, Salisbury Township, Meigs County, Ohio. An open stream capture subsidence collects water flowing from an intermittent stream less than 300ҋ from an inhabited home and a nearby open mine entry is within 200ҋ of inhabited homes and the state highway. The scope of work will include the stream channel being reestablished and lined to prevent water from entering the mine. The open entry will be closed with a bat gate to prevent human entry and provide bat habitat. All disturbed areas will be graded and revegetated. This project is 100% federally funded. If you have any questions or concerns about the project, please contact Mr. Jim Bishop at the Division's address listed above or at (614) 265-1094. 2/8/17 Letart Twp-Rowe Road Slip Repair- Street Improvement Project FY 2016 CDBG Community Development Grant - $11,500 Street Improvement-Slip Repair Single Year Project Letart Twp, Meigs County $11,500.00 The Board of Meigs County Commissioners has prepared an Environmental Review Record (ERR) for each of the projects listed above.

NFL offseason stories to watch By Howard Fendrich Associated Press Tom Brady took the high road while appearing with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and collecting the silver hardware for his record fourth Super Bowl MVP award. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick bemoaned needing to play catch-up when it comes to preparing for next season. Yes, the Patriots rule their sport once again, thanks to the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, and in what Goodell called “maybe one of the greatest games of all time.” Now it’s time to look forward. “As great as today feels, and as great as today is,” Belichick said Monday morning at a news conference with Brady and Goodell, less than 12 hours after New England erased a 25-point deﬁcit and stunned the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in the ﬁrst Super Bowl to go to overtime, “in all honesty, we’re ﬁve weeks behind in the 2017 season to most teams in the league.” Harrumph. Truth is, there was nothing all that awkward about Monday. Brady passed up an opportunity to take a face-to-face dig at Goodell, who suspended the QB for this season’s ﬁrst four games, and instead said, “It’s an honor to be here and have the commissioner present us with this trophy.” So maybe now we ﬁnally can put to rest the scandal that came to be known as “Deﬂategate,” and start to focus on the story lines to watch during the offseason: VEGAS, BABY! Will the NFL actually wind up with a team in Sin City? Raiders owner Mark Davis wants to move from Oakland to Las Vegas, but a key ﬁnancial backer recently said he was pulling out of a stadium deal, and Goodell said last week “there’s a great deal more work to be done.” The league is scheduled to vote on the possible move at its meetings March 26-29. TAG, YOU’RE IT Teams have a March 1 deadline — three weeks from Wednesday — to assign franchise or transition tags, and one name that will be part of the speculation until then is Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins. Coming off a pair of statistically impressive seasons, and a nearly $20 million salary under the franchise tag in 2016, Cousins could end up with another tag at about $24 million, a long-term deal or a chance to hit the market when free agency begins March 9. WHO GOES WHERE? Other players who might head to new teams: Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson, Kansas City S Eric Berry, Arizona DE Calais Campbell, New England TE Martellus Bennett and LB Dont’a Hightower, 2017 Faith & Family Faith and Family is a project designed to reach out to people in need and at the same time reach out to the community with a message of hope. We want to form a stronger alliance with the church community and do more meaningful job of helping local churches spread their message to people who are looking for answers and inspiration. We need your help to do this. We will publish an inspirational full color magazine that we have entitled Faith and Family. This publication, with your help, will list all our churches and carry a message of hope. As your local newspaper we want to use our resources to help get your message to those in need. The magazine will carry profiles of local churches and testimonials from local readers who have experienced a change in life as the result of their faith and beliefs. These stories can be a powerful influence in raising the consonances of the reader looking for answers and in need of a church to help heal. This publication will also increase the strength and unity among the local church community. WHEREFORE ART THOU ROMO? Now that NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Dak Prescott is entrenched as the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, it will be fascinating to see what happens with his predecessor, Tony Romo. He’s been too successful (if injury-prone) to be satisﬁed with being a backup, so which team will scoop him up in a trade? Cleveland? Chicago? Denver? San Francisco? Someone else? MOCK ON Plenty of time to work on those mocks between now and April 27, when the draft starts in Philadelphia. After QBs went 1-2 last year, the consensus seems to be that no one coming out of college at that position merits that high of a selection this team. That doesn’t mean, of course, that QB-needy teams such as the Browns (at No. 1), 49ers (No. 2) or Bears (No. 3) won’t go that route. Among the top prospects: Texas A&M DE Myles Garrett, Alabama DL Jonathan Allen, LSU RB Leonard Fournette, Ohio State S Malik Hooker, Clemson WR Mike Williams. GAME-CHANGERS In response to TV ratings’ drop of about 8 percent, the league will consider ways to make games shorter. Examples: a running clock between an extra point and ensuing kickoff; fewer commercial breaks; faster replay reviews. CONCUSSIONS Might the NFL try to ﬁnd other ways to ﬁx its concussion and QB health problems? There are still gaps in the concussion protocol — Miami’s Matt Moore in the playoffs, for example — and it’s never good when teams (Dolphins, Raiders) start backup quarterbacks in the postseason because of injuries to others.
