Police Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch speaks to
the media Friday in New York after a decision that Officer Daniel

should be fired. Lynch urged Police Commissioner James O’Neill to
stand up for Pantaleo, saying he’d done nothing wrong.

weeks later, protests
erupted in Ferguson,
Missouri, over the fatal
shooting of unarmed
teenager Michael Brown.
When a Staten Island
grand jury declined to
indict Pantaleo on state
charges in December
2014, demonstrations

ﬂared in New York and
several other cities.
The administrative
judge’s ﬁndings were
provided Friday to Pantaleo’s lawyer and the Civilian Complaint Review
Board, the watchdog

to 911 calls but “take it
a step slower” and call

of using physical force
on an uncooperative
suspect.

Walzak said Pantaleo’s
suspension was standard

which termination is recommended. He wouldn’t

The administrative

— to take Garner to the

Trump’s latest
China tariffs could
squeeze consumers
By Josh Boak,
Anne D’innocenzio
and Joe McDonald
AP Business Writers

WASHINGTON —
The latest tariffs President Donald Trump
plans to impose on
Chinese goods would
cost U.S. households an
average of $200 a year,
some economists estimate, and would start
to bite consumers and
retailers just as the holiday shopping season
begins.
That cost would
come on top of the
roughly $830 cost
imposed per household
from Trump’s existing tariffs, according
to a New York Federal
Reserve analysis.
Trump plans to tax
$300 billion of Chinese
imports at 10% starting in September with
the goal of accelerating
trade talks with Beijing
to favor the United
States.
The new tariffs
would be in addition to
25% tariffs Trump has
imposed on $250 billion
in Chinese products.
Those are mostly industrial goods. By contrast,
the new tariffs would
target products used by
American consumers,
like shoes, clothing and
cellphones.
By Friday, Trump’s
new planned tariffs
had triggered worries, especially among
retailers, about the
consequences. Retail
stores, many of which
have been struggling,
would have to make the
painful choice of either
absorbing the higher
costs from the new tariffs or imposing them
on price-conscious customers.
Additionally, China
has signaled the likelihood of imposing
counter-tariffs on U.S.
goods, which would hit
American exporters.
The stock market sold
off sharply on Friday,

of local government lawsuits consolidated under
Judge Daniel Polster in
Cleveland in which new
information has been
made public.
DeWine’s comments
Friday came at an event
to highlight record usage
of Ohio’s prescription
drug monitoring portal,
an early national model
for state tracking of the
prescription painkillers
at the heart of the deadly
epidemic.
Carroll, the president’s
chief drug policy adviser,
said federal data released
in conjunction with the
suits that showed how
drugmakers and distributors increased shipments
of opioid painkillers
across the U.S. as the
addiction crisis accelerated from 2006 to 2012
will be invaluable as
governments continue to
respond.
He said that the data’s
public release “is bringing

light, publicly at least,
to some of the harm that
the pharmaceutical companies did in the past.”
“It took us years to get
here and, as the governor
talked about, it’s going to
take us years to get out,”
he said.
DeWine said his comments Friday weren’t
about any particular suit,
but he said he believes
it’s time for the drugmakers to settle.
“These drug companies now have nowhere
to hide. The public
knows what has happened,” he said. “They
should just come forward
and try to settle this.

in part over concerns
about the effect on corporate proﬁts.
For retailers already
feeling pressure, the
higher prices would hit
hard just as the critically important holiday
shopping season was
getting under way.
Some companies are
considering moving up
their delivery of goods
before the new tariffs
take effect. Isaac Larian, CEO of Los Angeles-based MGA Entertainment, which makes
the popular L.O.L.
doll, said the company
will be accelerating
shipments from China
to the U.S. ahead of
the Sept. 1 deadline —
and will pay an extra
$300 to $400 more per
shipping container to
do so.
He envisions having
to raise prices 10 percent across his entire
toy line.
“A lot of consumers can’t afford it, and
demand will go down,”
Larian said.
iPhone sales would
also be hurt if consumers respond to
the tariffs by keeping
their existing devices
to avoid higher prices.
Wedbush Securities
analyst Daniel Ives
estimates that Apple
will sell 6 million
to 8 million fewer
iPhones in the U.S. if
it includes the tariff in
the sale price.
Peter Bragdon, executive vice president at
Columbia Sportswear,
said his company had
been diversifying away
from China and now
makes products in
more than 20 countries. He said he thinks
companies like Columbia Sportswear will
fare better than the
smaller outdoor rivals.
“The larger companies that have the
experience are going
to be able to weather
really bad public policy,” he said.

Dawson signs contract to retire with Browns

�928��?8&gt;D�n�$2/� 6+38��/+6/&lt;�@3+��

Former Cleveland Browns kicker Phil Dawson announces his
retirement from the NFL on Friday as a Cleveland Brown at
the team’s headquarters in Berea, Ohio. General manager John
Dorsey signed Dawson to an actual NFL player contract — not a
ceremonial one-day pact — by clearing a spot on the 90-man roster
for him, then placed him on the reserve/retired list.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Phil Dawson spent his
ﬁrst 14 seasons with the
Browns and is the only
kicker in franchise history
to be named to the Pro
Bowl.
In announcing his
retirement Friday, the
20-year veteran will forever be a member of the
team.
General manager John
Dorsey signed Dawson
to an actual NFL player
contract — not a ceremonial one-day pact — by
clearing a spot on the
90-man roster for him,
then placed him on the
reserve/retired list.
Thanks to the extremely rare gesture, Cleveland
will retain the 44-year-

old’s rights in perpetuity.
“I’m humbled that the
Browns organization
would take time to make
this happen,” said Dawson, who ranks seventh in
league history with 305
games played, eighth with
441 ﬁeld goals and 11th
with 1,847 points.
“The connection that I
had and still have to the
city of Cleveland is my
most cherished accomplishment of my career.
It’s good to be home.”
Though Dawson played
four years with the 49ers
and his ﬁnal two seasons with the Cardinals,
his heart was always
in Northeast Ohio. He
remains the Browns’ leader with 305 ﬁeld goals

and an .840 ﬁeld goal
percentage, and his 1,271
points only trail Hall of
Famer Lou Groza in team
history.
The Texan was a member of Cleveland’s expansion team in 1999 and
made the Pro Bowl in his
swansong season of 2012.
The latter required a
groundswell of fan voting
and community-wide support that Dawson recalls
fondly.
“Every time I took the
ﬁeld, I could feel the conﬁdence they had in me —
probably more than I had
in myself — and I was
determined that I would
not let them down,” said
Dawson, who made 29 of
31 ﬁeld goals that season,

including 7 of 7 beyond
50 yards. “You guys who
were here remember. It
was the best season I ever
had. That is a perfect
example of the power of
the Cleveland fans.”
The love was reciprocal
as Dawson cheered for
the Cavaliers during the
2016 NBA Finals against
Golden State when they
broke Cleveland’s epic
52-year championship
drought. He had to keep
his fandom private, however, being in San Francisco at the time.
“I found myself a couple
of times about tweet, ‘I
love you Cleveland. Congratulations,’ but then I

‘Time to be an athlete.’
Flexibility key for
Steeler rookies
LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — The message couldn’t
have been clearer when the Pittsburgh Steelers
called Sutton Smith on the ﬁnal day of the NFL
draft.
Yes, the Steelers liked Smith’s production at
defensive end at Northern Illinois. His 15 sacks as
a senior were kind of hard to miss, particularly for
a 6-foot, 233-pound guy who doesn’t exactly ﬁt the
physical proﬁle of an elite pass rusher.
None of it mattered, however, once the Steelers
took a ﬂyer on Smith in the sixth round. Asked
what he remembers about his ﬁrst conversation
with the coaching staff, Smith laughed.
“‘Time to be an athlete,’” Smith said with a
laugh.
They weren’t kidding. The star high school running back who scored 32 touchdowns as a senior
before transitioning to a defensive end in college
is getting a crash course at outside linebacker and
fullback in the NFL, often in the same practice.
“It’s a slow work in progress right now,” Smith
said. “Just trying to ﬁgure out the kinks and do
what’s best for me and the organization right
now.”
Smith is up for whatever, which is a good thing
because there’s a decent chance head coach Mike
Tomlin might ask Smith to do. The 23-year-old is
among a handful of rookies who arrived at their
ﬁrst training camp being asked to do a job far different than the one they were recruited to do in
college.
“Young guys with versatility, young guys that are
capable to do multiple jobs is an asset,” Tomlin
said.
Third-round pick Justin Layne signed with
Michigan State as a highly coveted wide receiver
prospect. Now he’s a defensive back. Fifth-round
selection Zach Gentry was the ﬁrst splashy signing for Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, a big-armed
quarterback who ﬁgured if he ever reached the
pros, he’d do it heaving passes to the end zone.
Instead, he evolved into a 6-foot-8 tight end long
on athleticism if admittedly a little short in the
ﬁner points of run blocking.
“It’s a little surreal,” Gentry said.
Not that Gentry is complaining. At least, not
now anyway. That wasn’t exactly the case during
Gentry’s freshman year. He remembers rolling out
on a bootleg shortly after joining the Wolverines
and juking a defender, maybe a little too well.
Harbaugh asked Gentry to play scout team wide
receiver to mimic a player from BYU, Michigan’s
next opponent. When he excelled at that too, Harbaugh approached Gentry and asked him if he’d
consider switching positions.
It didn’t go well.
“I was upset,” Gentry said. “I was really upset.
I tried to transfer. Coach Harbaugh kind of sat
me down a handful of times and explained that
if I stick it out, do his regiment and do what I’m
supposed to do, I’d go to the NFL as a tight end.
I didn’t want to believe him because I wanted to
play quarterback. But I believe in him and his
record with tight ends. I just stuck it out and luckily everything happened the way it did.”
That perseverance is one of the reasons Gentry
found himself stretching to make a leaping grab at
the goal line at Saint Vincent College on Thursday.
His ﬁngertip catch drew a nod of approval from
Tomlin and a roar from the crowd nestled in the
shade behind the end zone.
OK, so it’s not as glamorous as quarterback. But
it’ll do. Gentry admits he can still “sling it around”
and yeah, there’s a part of him that wouldn’t mind
standing next to starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to see just how he measures up.
“He’d probably school me there,” Gentry said. “I
haven’t been working like that.”

Members of Meigs Post 39 shake hands with members of the Sidney Post 217 squad following Friday afternoon’s 2019 Ohio American
Legion state baseball tournament game at Beavers Field in Lancaster, Ohio.

Sidney eliminates Post 39, 3-2
By Bryan Walters

LANCASTER, Ohio —
Sometimes the journey is
far more rewarding than
reaching the ﬁnal destination.
The Meigs Post 39
baseball team had its
magical 2019 campaign
come to a close on Friday
afternoon following a
heartbreaking 3-2 setback
to Sidney Post 217 in a
loser’s bracket quarterﬁnal contest at the Ohio
American Legion state
tournament being held at
Beavers Field in Fairﬁeld
County.
The Rangers (18-6)
found themselves in an
early hole after Post 217
plated a run in the top
half of the ﬁrst, but the
hosts managed to stay
within striking distance
entering the bottom of
the third — which ultimately resulted in the
only offense that Post 39
produced.
With two away and
runners on ﬁrst and second, Brody Jeffers lined
a double into centerﬁeld
that allowed both Billy
Harmon and Briar Wolfe
to come plateward — giving the Rangers a 2-1
advantage through three
complete.
After grounding into an
inning-ending double play
in the sixth, Sidney Post
217 was down to its ﬁnal
two outs in the seventh …

in the seventh inning,
but you also have to give
Sidney a lot of credit for
the outcome. They did
what they had to do, and
it was just good baseball
on their part.
“At the end of the day,

Ohio State training camp opens with new coach, new QB
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Sporting several
weeks of beard growth,
Ryan Day looked calm
for a new guy leading a
storied college football
program where the unrelenting pressure helped
push his legendary predecessor into early retirement.
The 40-year-old Day
opened his ﬁrst training camp as Ohio State
coach on Friday, the
hand-picked successor
to Urban Meyer, who led
the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014.
Day worked for Meyer
as an assistant and has
NFL experience, but he’s
never been a full-time
head coach at any level.
He had a three-game stint
as interim coach last year
when Meyer was suspended for his handling
of domestic violence allegations against a former
assistant.
“It’s exciting,” Day
said Friday. “It’s part of a
new journey. We all have
something to prove.”
The Buckeyes open
Aug. 31 at home against
Florida Atlantic.
Day was named coach
in January after Meyer
decided to step aside
because of health issues.
Meyer, who has the
title of assistant athletic
director at Ohio State,
has jumped back into
TV as an analyst on
Fox’s pregame show, and
announced plans to lend
his name to a restaurant
in suburban Columbus.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day watches players run drills during practice Friday in Columbus, Ohio. Day, who worked for predecessor Urban Meyer as an assistant, has

Day is the next guy on

Gonzalez enters hall with 3 DBs who tried covering him HOF Preview: Safety
CANTON, Ohio (AP)
— At one end of the
room sat Tony Gonzalez. All the way across
it was Ed Reed.
Sometimes in the
past, that’s as close to
each other as the two
new Hall of Famers
cared to be.
Same thing for
Champ Bailey and Ty
Law when it came to
covering Gonzalez,
the game-changing
tight end and matchup
nightmare for defensive
backs.
They’re all part of the
class of 2019 that will
be inducted Saturday
night. On Friday, they
spoke about each other
— and the honor of
entering the pro football shrine together.
“It was a hassle dealing with Tony,” said
Reed, a ﬁve-time AllPro for Baltimore as
a ball-hawking safety
and member of the
NFL 2000s All-Decade
Team, as were Gonzalez, Bailey and Law.
“Tony was tough. You
needed somebody else
to help you. I’d tell Terrell Suggs, ‘You got to
hit him before you pass
rush.’
“Tony was crafty, big,
tough to get around, a
basketball guy.”
True. Gonzalez was
a two-sport star at Cal.
Clearly he chose the
right profession, making six All-Pro teams,
catching more passes
(1,325) than anyone
except Jerry Rice, and
becoming the most
accomplished tight end
in NFL history.
Entering the hall
with three exceptional
DBs was striking for
Gonzalez, whose ability
to outrun linebackers
and outmuscle or even
outjump safeties and
cornerbacks made him
a dominant performer
for 17 seasons.
“I loved it because he
was the best,” Bailey
said of his matchups
with Gonzalez while
both were in the AFC

Ed Reed ‘made the
impossible possible’

John Sleezer | Kansas City Star, AP file

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez hauls in his 63rd career touchdown during a 2007
game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Kansas City, Mo. Gonzalez set the NFL record for
touchdown catches by a tight end with the reception. Gonzalez will be inducted today into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

West, the tight end
with Kansas City, the
cornerback with Denver. Rarely did defensive coordinators ask
cornerbacks to take on
Gonzalez, but Bailey
had the smarts, skill
and temperament to
do so.
“Tony was not necessarily fast, but fast
enough. It was kind
of refreshing for me
to go against a bigger
guy, not one of those
(tight ends who play
like wideouts). I knew
if the ball ever came
his way, I had to worry
about that big body
(Gonzalez played at
6-5, 250, Bailey at 6-0,
195) and try to make a
play. I never got a pick
on him. He was one of
the best.”
Gonzalez echoed
those thoughts about
Reed, Bailey and Law,
who was a teammate in
Kansas City in 2006-07.
“Ed was the only
safety (of the three),
and he was a top guy,”
Gonzalez said. “I loved
going against him and
seeing how I stacked
up. I won some and
lost some.
“I went the most
against Champ, twice a
year, because the Broncos would match him
against me a lot. Man,

that was tough.
“Ty was my teammate for a while and
I learned a lot, how
hard he worked at the
game.”
The four were joined
in an interview session
by fellow enshrinees
Kevin Mawae, a
dominant center for 16
seasons — and, yes, a
player on the 2000s AllDecade team — Johnny
Robinson, Gil Brandt
and the family of late
Broncos owner Pat
Bowlen.
All of them conveyed
the same message:
never back off from
your goals.
“I never took my eye
off the process,” said
Bailey, who spent his
ﬁrst ﬁve pro seasons
in Washington. “What
was it going to take to
succeed? Bu I dreamed
big from the beginning.”
Bailey as mentored
by a Hall of Famer, Darrell Green during his
time in Washington. He
also spent some time
with Deion Sanders,
also a Canton enshrine,
as a Redskin.
“How did I get all
this greatness around
me?” he wondered. “It
set my foundation.”
Law spoke of his
roots in Aliquippa,

Pennsylvania, mentioning how his grandparents set him on the
correct path when he
could have strayed and
wound up “six feet
under.”
“Everything I have
faced in my life, I can
go back to Aliquippa
and the lessons I
learned,” he said.
Brandt, who from
1960-89 was the personnel director of the
Cowboys and recently
has been a league
consultant for the
draft, will lead off the
induction ceremony on
Saturday night. One of
football’s great story
tellers, he promises to
leave plenty of time
for the others on the
docket to speak.
“It’s kind of surreal,”
the 86-year-old Brandt
said. “I have been at
the hall since 1965;
one of my jobs was getting helmets and other
things signed. You
always hope for something to happen, but
it’s almost impossible
to happen.”
On Saturday, the
hall’s doors will open
to Brandt and the other
members of the 2019
class.
“Very special,”
Brandt concluded.
“Very.”

BALTIMORE (AP) —
Combining instinct and
tireless ﬁlm study with
an unyielding urge to be
a difference maker, Ed
Reed established himself
as one of the greatest
safeties in NFL history.
What he did with a
football after plucking
it from the air set him
apart from anyone who
ever played the game.
Reed made 64 interceptions over a stellar
12-year career. He owns
an NFL-record 1,590
yards in interception
returns, including the
two longest runbacks:
107 yards against the
Eagles in 2008, 106
yards versus the Browns
in 2004. Reed considered
every pass thrown in
his direction to be his
property. And when he
got hold of it, his lone
objective was to take it
to house.
“My philosophy was
simple. I was trying to
score when I got the football in my hand. There
was no question about
that,” Reed said. “When
I caught the interception,
I knew there weren’t too
many defenders on (the
opposing) offense.”
Selected to the Pro
Bowl nine times and
voted NFL Defensive
Player of the Year in
2004, Reed will become
the 15th safety inducted
into the Pro Football Hall
of Fame on Saturday.
Whether he’s the best of
all time at his position
is a matter of opinion
— unless you’re asking
Baltimore Ravens coach
John Harbaugh, whom
Reed helped win a Super
Bowl.
“It would be hard to
argue that he’s not the
greatest safety in the history of football, right?”
Harbaugh said. “He’s
one of the top 10 players
maybe in the history of
the game.”
Yes, his coach is
expected to say something like that. But Reed,
who gained entry into
the hall on the ﬁrst ballot, also drew that kind
of praise from his opponents.
“He just does things
that nobody else at that
position does, or I don’t
know if they’ve ever done
it,” Patriots coach Bill
Belichick said.
When Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
dropped back to throw,
his ﬁrst priority was to
determine where Reed
was on the ﬁeld. Then
he’d ﬁnd out that it didn’t
matter because Reed was
going to meet up with
the football anyway.
“You see the safeties
out in the middle of the
ﬁeld and have a wide
open throw on the right.
The next thing you
know he’s intercepting
it,” Roethlisberger said.
“Where did he come
from? That’s what made
him such a challenge. He
made the impossible possible.”
Reed played football,
baseball and basketball
while growing up in
Louisiana. He idolized
Michael Jordan, and
patterned his play in
each sport after a player
known for excelling in
the clutch.
“I always loved how
when the game was on
the line, he wanted the
ball,” Reed said. “That
was something I could
say was in me for a long
time. When it was time
to do something, I wanted to be that guy. A lot
of that came because of
watching those Chicago
Bulls, man.”
A defensive player with

the mindset of an offensive star, Reed scored 14
touchdowns during his
career (including playoffs) and became the ﬁrst
player to score return
touchdowns off a punt,
blocked punt, interception and fumble recovery.
“Ed was among the
smartest and most
remarkable, clutch playmakers in NFL history,”
Ravens general manager
Eric DeCosta said. “You
never felt the game was
out of reach when No. 20
was on the ﬁeld.”
Reed starred at Miami
before taking his talent
to the Ravens as the 24th
overall pick in the 2002
draft. After learning the
ﬁne art of studying game
ﬁlm under a coaching
staff that included Chuck
Pagano, Mark Stoops
and Greg Schiano, Reed
honed the craft with Baltimore.
“We had a great staff
in college, so after I got
to the league, I’d already
seen stuff I knew,”
Reed said. “Then it was
enhanced, playing the
game with great guys
like Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata,
Chris McAlister.”
Asked whether his
knack for tracking down
the football could be
attributed most to ﬁlm
study or instinct, Reed
replied, “I guess you
could go 50-50. I studied a lot of tape, but I
can’t say a lot of things
weren’t instinctive.”
It was one heck of a
combination.
“Ed Reed is the smartest player I’ve ever
coached,” former Ravens
coach Brian Billick said.
“His natural intuition
and preparation for the
game exceeds anything
I’ve ever been around. He
was a truly unique and
impactful player in the
history of the NFL. No
player had better range.”
Former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex
Ryan added: “Ed studied
as much as anybody I’ve
ever been around. His
instincts were amazing,
and he was able to react
because of the ﬁlm study.
That’s probably the most
underrated thing about
Ed — his amazing preparation.”
The Ravens, born
after the franchise left
Cleveland for Baltimore
in 1996, now they have
three members in the
Hall of Fame: Reed,
offensive tackle Jonathan
Ogden and Lewis.
“Ed is one of the
best teammates I’ve
ever had, and he is my
brother for life,” Lewis
said. “His talents, work
ethic and leadership are
unmatched.”
To no surprise his biggest thrill was helping
the Ravens win the Super
Bowl in New Orleans in
February 2013, 34-31
over San Francisco, in
Lewis’ ﬁnal game.
“To actually play the
Super Bowl in my backyard, that was it right
there. It doesn’t get any
better than that,” Reed
said. “We walked off the
ﬁeld as champions.”
Although Reed played
his ﬁnal season with
Houston and the New
York Jets, he retired as a
member of the Ravens.
Through it all, he thrilled
the crowds and had a
blast doing it.
“The football fans
loved the way I played
the game. I just tried to
be the best for our team
to win,” Reed said. “It
was about having fun and
doing it together. It’s a
kid’s game we play. Nothing more than that.”

Meyer texts: Alabama offered Zach Smith job after ’17 season
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

Former Ohio State coach
Urban Meyer encouraged Zach
Smith to stay with the Buckeyes in January 2018 after the
then-assistant coach was pursued by Alabama, according to
texts messages from Meyer to
Smith.
On Friday, Ohio State
released thousands of pages
of heavily redacted texts and
email that were part of an
external investigation conducted last August into Meyer’s
handling of Smith and what
he knew about allegations of
domestic violence made by
Smith’s ex-wife, Courtney
Smith. Meyer was suspended
for the ﬁrst three games of last
season by Ohio State after the
investigation. After the season
he retired at 54, citing health
concerns. He is now working
as an analyst with Fox Sports.
In two texts dated January 2018, one to Ohio State’s
president, Meyer writes Smith
was offered an assistant coaching job by Alabama. In a text
exchange with Smith dated
Jan. 18, 2018, Meyer writes:
“I have personally invested far
too much in u to get u in position to take next step.”
Zach Smith was ﬁred in July
2018 by Meyer after domestic
violence allegations surfaced
against the wide receivers
coach. Smith was not criminally charged with domestic
violence, but last October
pleaded guilty to a reduced
charge of disorderly conduct

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, right, encouraged assistant coach Zach Smith, left, to stay with the Buckeyes in January
2018 after the then-assistant coach was pursued by Alabama, according to text messages from Meyer to Smith. On Friday,
Ohio State released thousands of pages of heavily redacted texts and email that were part of an external investigation
conducted last August into Meyer’s handling of Smith and what he knew about allegations of domestic violence made by
Smith’s ex-wife, Courtney Smith. Meyer was suspended for the first three games of last season by Ohio State after the
investigation. After the season he retired at 54, citing health concerns. He is now working as an analyst with Fox Sports.

in connection with a May
dispute with his ex-wife. At
the same time an Ohio court
issued a three-year protective
order that keeps him away
from her.
Smith said in a Twitter post
he agreed to plead guilty to
avoid the cost of a trial and
end the situation.
The large document release
from Ohio State was dominat-

ed by Meyer communicating
with Smith and others about
recruiting. There were also
some texts exchanges between
Meyer and Ohio State ofﬁcials
from around the time last year
when he was planning how to
handle questions about Smith
and his decision to ﬁre the
assistant coach during Big Ten
media day.
The information about Ala-

bama’s apparent interest in
Smith after the 2017 season
had not been mentioned in
any previous documents from
the investigation.
In a text exchange dated
Jan. 24, 2018, Meyer wrote to
Ohio State President Michael
Drake that six members of
his coaching staff, including
Smith had received job offers
from other schools.

In the text to Drake, Meyer
wrote that Smith was one four
Ohio State assistant coaches
pursued by Alabama, along
with Greg Schiano, Kerry
Coombs and Alex Grinch.
Meyer wrote Schiano also
had offers from Texas A&amp;M,
Florida State and the NFL.
Meyer also said thenoffensive coordinator Ryan
Day had an offer to join Chip
Kelly at UCLA and was candidate to be Mississippi State’s
head coach. Day stepped in as
head coach when Meyer was
suspended last season and
went 3-0. He replaced Meyer
as Buckeyes head coach in
January.
In a text Meyer sent on Jan.
21, 2018, he wrote that Smith
had been offered a job as wide
receiver coach and passing
game coordinator by Alabama
coach Nick Saban.
“Went there to talk to
Saban,” Meyer wrote. The
recipient of that text was
redacted.
“At ﬁrst thought maybe he
should go then decided that
all effort I’ve put u to him and
it’s Alabama. I told him to
stay and he turned it down,”
Meyer wrote.
A few days earlier, Meyer
texted Smith that he wanted
him to stay at Ohio State.
“Now go b a difference
maker in the staff room,”
Meyer wrote.
Smith responded: “Yes sir
I agree. They offered me the
job and I wanted to sleep on it
last night before deciding but
it doesn’t feel right.”

NCAA unveils new enforcement arm with outside investigators
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

The NCAA introduced
Thursday a new arm
of rules enforcement
made up of independent
investigators, advocates
and decision-makers to
handle complex cases
involving serious infractions.
Creating a new process for dealing with
some high-proﬁle infractions cases was one of
several recommendations made last year by
the Rice Commission on
college basketball. The
commission, created
in response to an FBI
investigation into col-

lege basketball recruiting, concluded the
NCAA’s existing investigation and enforcement
structure was rife with
potential and perceived
conﬂicts of interest.
The current investigative process relies on
schools self-reporting
and self-investigating.
The committee on
infractions, which determines whether schools
should be penalized and
how, is made up of highranking administrators
from NCAA member
schools and conferences.
The Independent
Accountability Resolution Process will be comprised of four groups,

Pro Football HOF
to expand inductees
class for 2020
CANTON, Ohio (AP)
— The Pro Football Hall
of Fame will expand
the number of potential
inductees to 20 in 2020
as part of the NFL’s
celebration of its 100th
season.
Calling it a centennial class, hall president
David Baker said Friday
ﬁve modern-day players,
10 seniors, three contributors and two coaches
could be elected next
year. The modern-day
group would be decided
by the 48 selection committee voters, as always,
on the day before the
Super Bowl in February.
The other 15 would be
voted on as one bloc, not
individually, by the selection committee. They
would be chosen by a
25-member committee
that will include Hall of
Famers, historians and
current voters.
Part of the 2020 class
would be inducted in
early August. The others would be enshrined
about Sept. 17, 2020,
the date that marks 100
years from the original
NFL game.
Baker did not identify

the speciﬁc members of
the 25-person committee, nor the exact voting
procedures. Through the
years, 80% positive votes
have been required for
election.
He joked that with so
many potential inductees next year — the current maximum is eight
— there will be “a lot of
doors to knock on” with
the good news.
“This is good for football, for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame and it is
great for the NFL,” he
said. “We get a way to
celebrate 100 years and
look forward to the next
100 years.”
Baker also expressed
strong conﬁdence that
the voters will get things
right and no one who
doesn’t have the proper
credentials will wind up
making the hall.
“It’s an opportunity
to catch up perhaps on
some injustices,” he
said, mentioning there
are seven members of
NFL all-decade teams
not in the Hall of Fame.
“This is an opportunity
that comes around every
other lifetime.”

including the Complex
Case Unit, which will
conduct investigations
and provide representation for schools and
individuals accused of
violations. Among those
chosen for the CCU
were former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who
investigated the role of
Penn State ofﬁcials in
the Jerry Sandusky child
sexual-abuse scandal,
and attorney Tom Mars,
who has recently helped
several high-proﬁle football players gain immediate eligibility from the
NCAA after transferring.
The Independent
Resolution Panel will
conduct hearings, decide

whether violations
occurred and hand down
penalties. The panel has
15 members that will
work in groups of ﬁve
on cases referred to the
Independent Accountability Resolution Process.
“The folks that were
identiﬁed that will
serve in these different
capacities … will all be
individuals who have no
direct afﬁliation with
any NCAA member
schools,” Naima Stevenson Starks, the NCAA’s
vice president of hearing
operations, told the AP.
“Although this is not
a legal process, we do
have individuals that

have legal backgrounds.
Arbitrators, particularly
for those individuals
that will be the adjudicators in this process,”
she said. “We’ve got a
few folks that are former
student-athletes so they
will have some perspective on athletics and that
experience at a college
campus, but no one
who was closely linked
in time with a direct
afﬁliation with college
athletics.
“We do have a few
individuals who may
have had some direct
involvement either at
the national ofﬁce or in
the membership, but it
would have been a good

amount of time since
that experience was relevant.”
Members of the Resolution Panel will serve
yet to be determined
terms, likely ranging
from 2-4 years. Stevenson Starks said the goal
is to have some experienced members on the
panel to complement
new members.
Stevenson Starks said
a request for proposal
was used to solicit ﬁrms
and investigative entities that had an interest
in joining the Complex
Case Unit. A search ﬁrm
was used to identify candidates to serve on the
Resolution Panel.

Ellis happy to get off women’s soccer ‘roller coaster’
PASADENA, Calif.
(AP) — Jill Ellis likened
her tenure in charge of
the U.S. women’s national team to an amusement
park ride. She also compared it to a tumultuous
ride on a ﬁve-year wave.
The most successful
head coach in program
history seems quite
content to get off this
merry-go-round on her
own terms.
Ellis was upbeat Friday
when she joined her players at the Rose Bowl for
their ﬁrst workout ahead
of a ﬁve-game exhibition
Victory Tour designed
to bring the World Cup
winners to their legions
of domestic fans. The
tour got a slight damper
Tuesday when Ellis
announced she will step
down at its conclusion.
Before her team’s ﬁrst
game since her decision,
the only two-time Women’s World Cup-winning
coach expressed pride in
her work and optimism
for the future without
her, starting with the
Tokyo Olympics next
year.
But more than anything else, Ellis exuded
calm about her decision
to walk away on top.
“When I took the job
… it was the beginning
of a cycle, and now I
feel like this is the end

of a cycle,” Ellis said.
“I know the Olympics
is very close, but that
begins another cycle, if
that makes sense. I think
the timing is now. … I
mean, 5 1/2 years is kind
of a long time in this job,
which has been great and
such a privilege. But I
didn’t give much consideration to coaching next
year.”
Ellis likely could
have stayed on through
Tokyo, but decided to
give a head start to her
successor. She had a few
words of advice for whoever steps into her large
shoes.
“It’s a roller coaster.
Put your seatbelt on,”
Ellis said with a grin.
“Enjoy the ride, because
you’re going to expect
highs and lows. It’s the
wave analogy. It’s the
trough and the crest. You
can’t have a beautiful
ocean without both of
those. You can’t have this
journey without all the
highs and lows.”
The 52-year-old Ellis
lost exactly seven of her
127 games since May
2014, winning eight
tournaments and half of
the nation’s four World
Cup titles. When her
team raised the trophy
last month in France,
the Americans reafﬁrmed their status as

the world’s dominant
program.
“Well, I’m selﬁshly
sad,” World Cup hero
Rose Lavelle said. “I’ve
really enjoyed having her
as a coach. I feel like I’ve
grown so much the past
three years, and I’m sad,
but I’m happy she went
out on top and now has
some time with her family to enjoy.”
No coach can match
Ellis’ international
accomplishments, yet
she still faced nearconstant scrutiny for her
tactics, lineup decisions
and substitution patterns
— even from former
and current players for
a team that never lost a
game at two World Cups.
Megan Rapinoe said
she “wasn’t super surprised” by Ellis’ decision.
“It’s obviously a very
difﬁcult job to have, and
to be able to go out on
top is obviously a nice
way to go,” the Golden
Ball winner added.
Christen Press praised
Ellis for her ability to
create a structured training environment similar
to the stability of a men’s
club team — a difﬁcult
feat given the unstable,
traveling nature of
national teams.
“It’s hard for me
to imagine that any
program in any sport

would have this level of
meticulous detail and
control,” Press said. “I
think Jill was able to do
that because she was in
the system before she
was the head coach.
We’re taking everything
that we do on the road,
so every single training facility is different.
When you have a meeting is different. What
you’re eating is different.
It’s the head coach’s job
to oversee that, and it
was such a seamless
thing for us. We could
really focus.”
After this tour ends
Oct. 6 in Chicago,
Ellis will spend at least
the next year working
for U.S. Soccer as an
ambassador. That hasn’t
stopped widespread
speculation about her
long-term plans, but
Ellis isn’t sharing in it.
“I haven’t given any
thought to my future,
I really haven’t,” Ellis
said. “I just felt the timing was right. The timing is right for whoever
the new coach is. The
timing was right for me
on a personal level with
my family. I’m going
to still be working in a
capacity for a while for
U.S. Soccer, so I haven’t
even thought about
coaching another team
at this point. “

Johnson, Alvarez win at ONE Championship event
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — American
Demetrious Johnson
defeated Tatsumitsu
Wada of Japan via unanimous decision at ONE
Championship’s “Dawn
of Heroes” event and
booked his place in the
ONE Flyweight World
Grand Prix ﬁnal on
Friday.
The 32-year-old Johnson, known as “Mighty
Mouse,” was pushed to
the limit by his Japanese
rival, who had an obvious height and reach
advantage.
Johnson’s superb
techniques virtually nulliﬁed Wada’s submission

attempts on the ground
in the ﬁrst round.
The American
changed his tactics in
the second round and
started circling his
rival as he searched for
an opening. However,
Wada stood ﬁrm and
continued to out-power
Johnson.
It was only with 90
seconds remaining in
the round that Johnson
changed the match. He
connected with a double-leg takedown and
closed out the round
by hitting his opponent
with a couple of elbows
from the top position.
Johnson, the 12-time

ﬂyweight world champion, barely gave his rival
a chance in the third
and ﬁnal round. The
American caught Wada
off guard with another
takedown. Although
Wada secured the back
of his opponent at the
very end, it was not
enough to stop Johnson
from claiming the victory.
Johnson will make his
return against Danny
Kingad of the Philippines, who won earlier
against Reece McLaren
of Australia.
Another American,
Eddie Alvarez, broke the
hearts of Filipino fans

by submitting Eduard
Folayang in the lightweight World Grand
Prix semiﬁnal.
Alvarez didn’t lose his
composure even though
Folayang came out
sharp early in the ﬁrst
round.
Alvarez came to the
Filipino’s back and
then secured the rearnaked choke and a tap.
The ﬁnish came in the
third minute of the ﬁrst
round.
“I imagined this.
We’ve seen this in my
head. We persevered,
pulled through adversity, and now we’re here,”
Alvarez said.

Notre Dame ready to wash off playoff loss
SOUTH BEND, Ind.
(AP) — Notre Dame’s
latest run at a national
title under coach Brian
Kelly ended with another rude awakening.
“We got a taste of
what it’s like to be in
the playoffs,” said Kelly,
whose 10th Irish squad
begins preseason drills
Sunday morning at
Culver Academy, 45
miles south of the Notre
Dame campus. “I want
to win the darn thing.”
The Irish started
12-0 last season but
were dismissed 30-3
by eventual national
champion Clemson in a
College Football Playoff
semiﬁnal. It was similar
to 2012, when Kelly’s
undefeated Notre Dame
team lost 42-14 in the
national title game.
Aiming for the
national championship
is an annual ritual for
the Fighting Irish, who
steadfastly adhere to
their independent status

in football. But it’s a
goal the Irish haven’t
achieved since 1988
under Lou Holtz. Four
coaches later, Notre
Dame is still looking for
a title under Kelly.
“They know what
the mission is — that
is, graduate from
Notre Dame and win
a national championship,” Kelly said Friday.
“That’s the standard.
It’s on the back of their
shirts when they work
out — maintaining the
standard.”
This year’s Irish
could be in the mix for
one of the four College
Football Playoff berths
if they can survive a
stretch of away games
that begins at Louisville
on Labor Day evening
and includes visits to
Georgia (Sept. 21),
Michigan (Oct. 26),
Duke (Nov. 9) and Stanford (Nov. 30).
“One of our themes
this year is we have

to be road warriors,”
said Kelly, whose home
schedule includes traditional rivals USC (Oct.
12) and Boston College
(Nov. 23). “That’s what
they sign up for. That’s
why they come to Notre
Dame because they
really relish those challenges.”
Senior Ian Book, who
completed 68.2 percent
of his passes for 2,628
yards and 19 touchdowns, leads a retooled
offense that averaged
33.8 points a game. He
spent part of the summer as one of the elite
college quarterbacks
serving as counselors
at the camp run by the
Mannings — former
NFL great Archie and
his NFL sons Peyton
and Eli.
“He came back, and
he knows the things
that he needs to work
on, but he also knows
the things that he’s really good at,” Kelly said.

“He walks around this
building with a great
presence around him.”
Defensively, the focus
for Kelly and secondyear coordinator Clark
Lea will be on the linebacking corps, which
lost its top playmakers in Drue Tranquill
and Te’von Coney but
has plenty of numbers
and talent. Graduate
Asmar Bilal moves into
the middle to replace
Coney while junior
Jordan Genmark Heath
is ahead at Tranquill’s
weakside spot. Junior
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and sophomore
Paul Moala are battling
at rover. There are at
least eight other players
in the mix.
“It will be the focus
of our fall (preseason),”
Kelly said. “I have
worked our schedule to
make sure we get more
reads for key linebackers. That’s an important
part of our evaluation.”

Georgia can’t be top dog until it conquers the Tide
ATHENS, Ga. (AP)
— If you’re looking for a
terser-than-usual response
from Kirby Smart, just
bring up how the last two
seasons ended.
The Georgia coach will
shoot you a steely eyed
glare that falls somewhere
between disgust and disdain, then respond with
a banal cliche that makes
it clear you’re just wasting everyone’s time even
broaching the subject.
“We are looking forward,” Smart said Friday,
when that all-too-familiar
question was raised again
as the Bulldogs began
practicing for another
season of lofty expectations. “We are excited
about this year.”
No doubt, Georgia has
plenty of reasons to be
excited.
In just three short seasons, Smart has molded
the Bulldogs into one of
the nation’s elite college
football programs, turn-

But there’s still one big

That albatross to the

Nick Saban’s Alabama

The teams met two
years ago in the national
championships game.
Last year, they clashed
with the Southeastern
Conference title and a
trip to the College Football Playoff on the line.
Both times, Georgia
had a program-deﬁning
victory in its grasp.
Both times, Alabama

yes, their answers Friday

Of course, we all know
what happened next.
The Bulldogs built a
13-0 halftime lead over
Alabama in the title
game, prompting Saban
to switch quarterbacks
from Jalen Hurts to Tua
Tagovailoa, who sparked
a comeback that sent
the game to overtime.
Georgia went back ahead
with a ﬁeld goal, and then
sacked Tagovailoa to set
up second-and-26. The
freshman responded with
a 41-yard pass to DeVonta
Smith, who broke free
behind a botched coverage to haul in the
championship-clinching
touchdown.
Last December, the
teams met again in the
SEC title game with a
spot in the College Football Playoff on the line.

National champion Clemson opens preseason camp
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP)
— Clemson coach Dabo
Swinney has turned
the page on last year’s
national championship.
He believes his players
have done the same.
The Tigers opened
preseason practice Friday

to once more win the
Atlantic Coast Conference and return to the
College Football Playoffs
for a ﬁfth consecutive
season. But Swinney cautioned his latest young
group — two-thirds of
the 120 players on the are
freshmen or sophomores
— have much work ahead

“The biggest thing I
want to see, I’ve already
seen,” Swinney said. “To
assert himself as a leader,
not just of the offense,
but of this team.”
Lawrence led the way
during drills, moving
smoothly around barriers
and lofting tight spirals
from about 30 yards away
after a one-step drop.
“Good, good,” quarterback coach Brandon
Streeter said, nodding his
head at Lawrence.
Lawrence has plenty
of help in the attack.
Tailback Travis Etienne
was the ACC offensive
player of the year last sea-

last season. Swinney said
the Tigers don’t yet have.
“We’ve got to be unbelievable teachers this
year,” Swinney said.
It helps to have the
strong-armed Lawrence
leading the way.
Lawrence, the 6-foot-6,
220-pound sophomore,
stayed calm and cool
throughout the storm of
Bryant’s transfer to complete the ﬁrst 15-0 season
in modern college football. He’s added deﬁnition
to his long, blonde hair
and cannon arm. Swinney
said Lawrence has also
added leadership to his
tool box.

leaders. The Tigers’
“Power Ranger” defensive
front four were all drafted
— end Clelin Ferrell and
tackles Christian Wilkins
and Dexter Lawrence
were all NFL ﬁrst-round
picks — leaving a void on
the team who counted on
their character and determination to pull them
through difﬁcult times.
Wilkins, for instance,
took then freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence
out to breakfast a couple
of days after well-respected starter Kelly Bryant
chose to leave after the
newcomer was elevated
to starter four games into

to win a third national
crown in four seasons.
“Our program has won
15 (games) in a row,”
Swinney said. “This team
hasn’t won one.”
Swinney reinforced the
message with his players
the past two days, prepping them in Clemson’s
culture and his expectations for conduct on an
off the ﬁeld moving forward.
“This is kind of business as usual every time
we show up to play,” he
said.
