Gulls return to the Ohio Valley
By Morgan McKinniss
mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest.com

GALLIPOLIS — A familiar
but seasonal winged guest has
returned to the Ohio Valley for
the winter.
Ring-bill Gulls travel south
every year around the winter
season and are common along
the river and other major
waterways inland during their
nesting months. Many in the
community see these birds,
which are strikingly similar in
appearance to seagulls which
are normally associated with
coastal regions.

He currently is the Southeast
Regional Director and sits on
the board of directors for the
Ohio Ornithological Society.
“In regards to their presence
around the river, it actually
isn’t all that surprising. Ringbilled Gulls are actually the
species of gull most likely to
be encountered away from
the coast, with most of their
population nesting inland near
large sources of freshwater like
the Great Lakes, which is at
the southern extreme of their
breeding range in the Canada
interior,” said Eberts.

POMEROY — A
local community center offers homemade
lunches to the public
every Tuesday and
Thursday.
Mulberry Community Center’s Country
Kitchen is open from
11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
on Tuesday and Thursday. Head Cook Vicki
Coy shared that three
local churches alternate between making
the meals for Tuesday
each week throughout the month and in
between she will make
the Tuesday meal. Coy
said the full meal is $3
and soup and salad is
$1 and the meals can
be for dine-in or carryout. She shared that
on Thursdays the meal
consists of soup, salad,
and a sandwich.
Coy has been head
cook for nearly a year
and was before a volunteer prep cook in
the kitchen. She said

Sam Rayburn is a big
help to her weekly and
mans the coffee station
for the lunches. Coy
explained that four to
ﬁve volunteers from
the week’s designated
church will help with
the lunches for Tuesday.
She shared around
30 to 35 people typically come in to eat
lunch on each day, but
she would love to see
more people come in
and enjoy a meal.
“Just a good smile
and a good word can
make someone’s day,”
said Coy.
Coy expressed how
much she enjoys serving guests and cooking for guests. She
explained that she
worked in the food service industry for many
years and a person’s
day could be brightened by having a nice
dining experience.
Coy shared the
menu for the rest of
January:
Jan. 11 - chicken
noodle soup, ham and

cheese sandwich, and
an apple/fruit cup. Jan.
16 - potato soup, roast
with vegetables, roll,
and brownies. Jan. 18
- vegetable soup, sub
sandwich, chips, Jello
with fruit, and cookie.
Jan. 23 - chicken
noodle soup, roast beef
on split bread, mashed
potatoes, green beans,
and cake. Jan. 25 bean soup, sloppy
joes, French fries, and
fruit delight. Jan. 30
- cheesy potato soup,
baked spaghetti, garlic
bread, green beans,
and cake.
She said with the
meals guests have an
option for a variety of
drinks including coffee and tea. She added
the salad bar available
with the meals contains special salads at
times such as pasta
salad, fruit salad, apple
salad, and ham salad.
Coy shared that
guests may leave a
donation if they wish
and the funds go
towards buying food
for the weekly meals.

MIDDLEPORT — A
unanimous decision was
recently made to resurface
Main Street in Middleport
with bricks, after completion
of the sewer project.
On Monday, a public meeting was held at Middleport
Village Hall for the residents
of Middleport to make their
voices heard on whether or
not they wanted to resurface
Main Street with brick or
asphalt.
Mayor Sandy Iannarelli,
along with some village
council members, attended
the meeting to hear the public speak and for Iannarelli
to answer the residents’
questions and concerns. Iannarelli shared approximately
30 residents came out to
have their voices heard on
the matter.
She said a few concerns
brought up in the discussion
involved whether or not
Main Street would be fully
restored in brick or if part of
the street would be paved.
Iannarelli conﬁrmed that
all of Main Street would be
fully restored in brick as the
signed contract for the sewer
project states that the roads
would be replaced exactly
as they were before the start
of project. She expressed
another concern involved the
use of the leftover funds if
the residents chose the lower
costing asphalt to resurface
Main Street. Iannarelli conﬁrmed that if there were to
be leftover funds, the money
would have to be given back
as utilizing the funds for
another project would not be
in the sewer project’s grant
protocol.
Mainly the residents
expressed how the brick
streets in Middleport make
the village unique compared
to other villages, shared
Iannarelli. She advised the
residents that the newly
laid brick is going to need
care. The village will have to
keep an eye on the brick and
maintain maintenance of the
bricks.
Iannarelli said that she
hopes everyone is pleased
with the decision to resurface Main Street with bricks.

IV bag shortage has hospitals scrambling
By Linda A. Johnson
AP Medical Writer

TRENTON, N.J. —
An ongoing shortage of
ﬂuids used to deliver
medicine and treat
dehydrated patients
has hospital workers
scrambling in the midst
of a nasty ﬂu season and
supplies from factories
in storm-ravaged Puerto
Rico have been slow to
rebound.
Supplies of saline and
nutrient solutions were
already tight before
hurricanes pounded
Puerto Rico and cut
power to manufacturing
plants that make much
of the U.S. supply of
ﬂuid-ﬁlled bags used to
deliver sterile solutions
to patients.
Flu season has turned
out to be a bad one and
it came early, bringing patients in need of
ﬂuids into hospitals
already running low.
Hospital ofﬁcials,
pharmacists and other
staff have been devising alternatives and
workarounds, training
doctors and nurses on
new procedures and
options, and hitting the
phones to try to secure
ﬂuids from secondary
suppliers.
“If we can’t support patients coming
in emergency rooms
who have the ﬂu, more
people are going to die,”
predicts Deborah Pasko,
director of medication
safety and quality at
the American Society
of Health System Pharmacists, a professional
group. “I see it as a
crisis.”
The U.S. Food and
Drug Administration said last week it
believes shortages will
start to ease over the
next few weeks, but
stressed “the production
situation in Puerto Rico
remains fragile.”

was reconnected just
before Christmas. But
intermittent power outages are still slowing
Baxter’s efforts to get
back to full production.
Only a few other
companies make those
solutions, and supplies
never fully recovered
after a 2014 shortage of
saline bags.
Now many hospitals
are only getting half or
two-thirds of what they
order, and have only a
few days’ worth of saline
on their shelves.
“No one wants to
come out and make it
sound like their hospital
isn’t safe,” but problems
will worsen if shortages
don’t ease soon, Pasko
said.
Pasko and other hospital ofﬁcials said they
worry that changes in
procedures and products
could lead to errors.
Some hospital ofﬁcials say the severity
of shortages stabilized
over the holidays, when
elective surgeries and
other services drop, but
others say shortages are
worsening.
Several noted a cascade effect, with new
shortages created as

hospitals all try the
same workarounds. For
instance, syringe supplies are running low
because many patients
are now getting injections instead of IV
drips.
“Everything is hard
to get because people
are getting whatever
they can,” said Deborah Sadowski, director
of pharmacy services
at Deborah Heart and
Lung Center, a specialized hospital in southern New Jersey.
The worst shortage
is for small saline bags.
Hospitals use hundreds
or thousands daily to
hydrate patients and to
dilute antibiotics, painkillers and other drugs,
then hang bags from a
pole so the mix slowly
drips through a tube
and into a vein.
Deliveries of those
have been most unpredictable, said David
Chen, a pharmacy
director with Promedica, which operates 13
hospitals in Ohio and
Michigan.
“Some facilities are
getting virtually zero.
Other are having them
trickle in. You never
know what you’re going
to get,” Chen said.
The FDA has been

trying to boost supplies,
giving two additional
companies approval
to start selling saline
bags, likely within a
couple months. It also
gave Baxter permission
to temporarily import
sterile ﬂuids from six
overseas factories.
Baxter says it’s been
shipping those to U.S.
hospitals since October,
but hospital ofﬁcials say
that hasn’t been enough.
Erin Fox, who tracks
nationwide drug shortages and heads the University of Utah health
system’s drug information and support services, said its hospital
system now has ﬁve to
eight pharmacists a day
working on nothing but
managing shortages.
Shortages are also
hitting surgery centers,
cancer clinics that
infuse chemotherapy,
dialysis centers and
companies that provide
regular infusions to
home-bound patients.
An Atlanta-area hospital run by Cancer
Treatment Centers of
America has had to rent
special pumps to empty
liter-size saline bags
into many smaller ones
for individual patients,
said pharmacy services
director Jamie Joy.

Have you vowed that this will be the year

delve into self- improvements? And
if you made such a New Year’s resoAngela
lution, have you stuck to it now
Silveira
Contributing that we’re more than a week into
2018?
columnist
According to the Statistics Brain
Research Institute, about 58 percent of Americans make these resolutions with
only 9.2 percent of people saying they were successful in achieving their resolution at the end
of the year. Many of us fall off the bandwagon
within the ﬁrst week.
Why do we fail to maintain our resolutions
throughout the year? The answer is quite simple. Immediate results are paramount to us, and
their value is far more important than future
fulﬁllments.
Studies have constantly connected the art of
self-control to success in weight loss, managing
personal ﬁnances and overall self-improvement.
We are well aware that inducing constraint
when faced with temptation and suppressing
our urgency for immediate results will lead to
exertion of our willpower and ultimately reaching our resolutions. Yet we still submit to our
impulses of binge eating or shopping.
Why? Because we are nearsighted in our
vision of self-control. We need to bear witness
that self-control is not a barrier to obtaining
momentary pleasures, but rather a way for us to
create gains and increased worth for our future.
We imagine self-control to be like a resistance
band, holding us back from that doughnut, holding us back from purchasing that expensive car
and ﬁnally holding us back from happiness. We
see it as a burden inevitably making us miserable. Although we may be able to ﬁrst resist the
urge, our willpower slowly fades, and before we
know it, our resolution is long forgotten.
To add to this, we constantly face emotional
situations leading to stress. We feel stressed
at work and use smoking as an outlet. We lose
a family member and decide to get away and
splurge on a vacation. We give up on self-control
and will power since it makes you miserable,
and death is eventually inevitable right?
Stress seems to be a major player in affecting
willpower and decision making. Researchers
from the University of Zurich did a study where
they decided to have people pick between foods
while stressing them out. The results were that
people under stress chose the unhealthy item,
while people with no stress picked the healthier
item.
Part of this experiment involved observing
brain activity of the participants. Scientists
noted alternating spikes in connectivity in various areas of the brain and also noticed that the
stress hormone — cortisol — was partially
responsible for the reduction in this connectivity. With reduction in brain communication, also
came reduced willpower.
In the most recent Stress in America survey,
57 percent of respondents reported losing
weight as a goal for the new year, and 50 percent opted to eat a healthier diet. The survey
further showed that less than one in 5 adults
reported being successful at making healthrelated improvements.
There is a continuous battle with people
struggling to have enough willpower. The American Psychological Association (APA) deﬁnes
willpower as “the ability to delay gratiﬁcation,
resisting short-term temptations in order to
meet long-term goals.” Achieving your resolutions through healthy behaviors and resisting
temptations can be stressful. However, strengthening your willpower can help to achieve your
goals.
The APA advises these techniques to help you
strengthen your willpower:
Focus on a single, clearly deﬁned goal instead
of a list of goals. Succeeding at the ﬁrst goal
will strengthen your willpower and improve
your ability to succeed in the next.
Monitor your behavior toward your goal by
keeping consistent track of your progress and
developing a feasible action plan.
Build positive relationships and surround
yourself with people you trust and who will be
supportive of your goals.
As 2018 begins, take the time to reﬂect on
your emotional well-being before delving into
your new goals. Be grateful and reﬂect on what
you have now instead of what you want. Be
patient with yourself, and be proud of all your
achievements no matter how tiny they are.
Achieving your goals is not a race or competition, it is a step toward the best you that you
can be. Make this 2018 a celebration of you.

the X-rated
Ben
ﬁlm now
Shapiro
Contributing proclaims
that it is
columnist
the leading
edge on
behalf of female empowerment. All it took was
the worst scandal in
modern Hollywood history to make that happen.
A few short months
ago, Hollywood had
nothing to say about the
sexual abuse of women in
the industry. Hollywood
is a visual medium, and
that means that powerful
men in the industry have
treated beautiful women
as objects for their play
and pleasure for literally
decades.
Famed actress Jean
Arthur, star of ﬁlms
including “Shane,” told
author Joseph McBride
that she quit the industry
rather than deal with the
molestation from studio
head Harry Cohn; she
even says she planned to
murder him before quitting. Marilyn Monroe
told a young Joan Collins
that producers were like
“wolves.” And modern
actresses talked for years

about the predations of
ﬁgures like Harvey Weinstein. But nobody did
anything. Nobody said
anything.
In fact, Hollywood’s
leading lights cheered
such men. Meryl Streep
gave convicted child
rapist Roman Polanski a
standing ovation at the
2003 Oscars. In 2012,
the Golden Globes honored Woody Allen, a
man credibly accused of
molesting his own 7-yearold step-daughter, with
a lifetime achievement
award. Seth MacFarlane’s
Family Guy ran a joke
about baby Stewie running naked screaming
across the screen, shouting, “Help! I’ve escaped
from Kevin Spacey’s
basement!”
But now we’re supposed to believe that Hollywood has something to
tell the rest of us about
sexual abuse. Thus,
Oprah Winfrey took to
the stage of the Golden
Globes to lecture America about mistreatment of
women — even though
her association with
Weinstein supposedly
led at least one young
actress to believe Weinstein was unthreatening,
a mistake that led to that

actress’ sexual exploitation at Weinstein’s hands.
Streep cheered her
from the audience,
despite calling Weinstein “God” just a few
years ago. James Franco
clapped along, even as
Ally Sheedy tweeted
cryptically about his
hypocrisy.
This is Hollywood’s
unique gift: limitless gall,
and a complete lack of
morality. Once shamed,
Hollywood steps up. But
it takes the public to
force it to do so.
It took the public to
force Hollywood to set
standards for itself in the
1930s; after the roaring
1920s, which included
some highly-publicized
Tinseltown scandals
including the death of
model Virginia Rappe
at a party with famous
comedian Fatty Arbuckle,
Americans tired of the
town’s decadence and
demanded change. The
result: the Hays Code.
Hollywood responded,
but only under pressure.
Now Hollywood
responds again. But only
under pressure.
Which is what makes
it particularly sickening
that Hollywood’s stars
insist on treating the rest

of us as the sinners. The
same Hollywood that
sees the rest of America
as a tyrannical small
town run by John Lithgow, one step away from
re-enacting “The Handmaid’s Tale,” sends out
“THT” star Elizabeth
Moss to lecture on sexism — the same woman
who devotes her time to
the Church of Scientology, a sexist quasi-cult
that has allegedly targeted victims of sexual
abuse and forced female
members of the Sea Org
to have abortions.
So, here’s a bit of
advice to Hollywood:
Try a little modesty. You
didn’t say anything when
you had the chance; you
only said something
when you were caught
with your pants down,
literally.
Spare us the self-righteous lectures. And try
setting some standards
for yourselves before
you tell us all about
how we’re the barriers
between women and
respect.

Coal CEO blasts agency’s decision

18 states may
introduce sports
betting bills in 2018

WASHINGTON
(AP) — A decision by
an independent energy
agency to reject the
Trump administration’s
plan to bolster the coal
industry could lead to
more closures of coalﬁred power plants and
the loss of thousands of
jobs, a top coal executive
said Tuesday.
Robert Murray, CEO
of Ohio-based Murray
Energy Corp., called the
action by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission “a bureaucratic
cop-out” that will raise
the cost of electricity
and jeopardize the reliability and security of
the nation’s electric grid.
“While FERC commissioners sit on their
hands and refuse to
take the action directed
by Energy Secretary
Rick Perry and President Donald Trump,
the decommissioning
of more coal-ﬁred and
nuclear plants could
result, further jeopardizing the reliability, resiliency and security of
America’s electric power

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — A new report
predicts 18 states will introduce bills to regulate
sports betting this year, with 11 having a good
chance of passing legislation.
Eilers &amp; Krejcik Gaming, which tracks gambling legislation nationwide, says that’s just the
minimum; the ﬁrm predicts more than 30 states
could introduce sports betting bills.
The U.S. Supreme Court this year will decide
a case brought by New Jersey that seeks to
overturn a ban on sports betting in all but four
states: Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon.
A favorable ruling in that case could open the
ﬂoodgates in terms of states adopting a new
form of gambling.
“Assuming a Supreme Court decision or
action by Congress permits it, we could see the
largest simultaneous expansion of regulated
gambling in U.S. history with sports betting in
2018,” said Chris Grove, the company’s managing director.
The court is expected by June to decide New
Jersey’s case, which seeks to overturn a ban on
sports betting by any state that did not meet a
1991 deadline to legalize it. States and private
companies in the U.S. and abroad are already
moving quickly to position themselves for a
favorable ruling.
States listed as likely to introduce a sports
betting bill are: Massachusetts; Rhode Island;
New York; New Jersey; West Virginia; South
Carolina; Georgia; Florida; Illinois; Michigan;
Iowa; Minnesota; Louisiana; Mississippi; Oklahoma and California. Indiana and Kentucky
already have introduced bills.
Pennsylvania and Connecticut have already
passed bills. Grove said Delaware is arguing that
it doesn’t need to pass a bill due to gambling
legislation already on the books, and added Mississippi may not need to pass a bill. He said an
argument has been made that that state’s fantasy sports bill also authorized sports betting.
The report listed 11 states as having a good
chance of enacting sports betting bills this year:
Massachusetts; Rhode Island; New York; New
Jersey; West Virginia; Ohio; Michigan; Illinois;
Oklahoma; Kentucky and Indiana.
It also listed states where the introduction,
much less adoption, of a sports betting bill
is considered unlikely: Tennessee; Alabama;
Arkansas; Texas; Kansas; Nebraska; North and
South Dakota; Wyoming; Utah; Idaho; Alaska
and Hawaii.
States across the nation are looking for new
sources of revenue, and adding or expanding
gambling is seen as an attractive option for
many. While not vouching for the political likelihood of any particular state adopting gambling
legislation, David Schwartz, director of the
Center for Gaming research at the University of
Nevada Las Vegas, said the predictions are “deﬁnitely in line with the historical trend of states
turning more to gambling.”
Sports betting is seen as most likely to be
offered through commercial or tribal casinos,
or state lotteries. Some analysts and industry
observers also feel that a Supreme Court ruling legalizing sports betting nationwide would
prompt a rapid expansion of internet betting, as
states will move to allow it to be offered online.

Perry ultimately rejected Murray’s request, but
later asked energy regulators to boost coal and
nuclear plants.
The plan drew widespread opposition from
business and environmental groups that
frequently disagree with
each other. The plan
would have disrupted
electricity markets and
raised prices, especially
in the Northeast and
Midwest, opponents
said.
Jack Gerard, president
and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute,
said Tuesday that the
Trump plan was “far too
narrow” in its focus on
power sources that maintain a 90-day fuel supply.
API, the largest lobbying group for oil and gas
industry, supports coal
and other energy sources, Gerard said, “but we
should not put our eggs
in an individual basket
deﬁned as a 90-day fuel
supply (while) unnecessarily intervening in
private markets.”

There is no requirement for a
president to have a physical, but
modern ofﬁceholders undergo
them regularly and release a doctor’s report stating that they are
“ﬁt to serve.”
Trump will not undergo a psychiatric exam, the White House
said. Ofﬁcials did not address
a different type of screening,
assessments of cognitive status
that examine neurologic functions including memory. Cognitive assessments aren’t routine
in standard physicals, although
they recently became covered in
Medicare’s annual wellness visits
for seniors.
Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, a Navy
rear admiral who is the president’s
ofﬁcial physician and director of
the White House Medical Unit,
is coordinating the exam. Jackson provided care for President
Barack Obama, conducting and
supervising the last of three physicals Obama had during his eight
years in ofﬁce.

asked to cut back on
electricity usage because
of a shortage of natural
gas. “If it were not for
the electricity generated by our nation’s
coal-ﬁred and nuclear
power plants, we would
be experiencing massive
brownouts and blackouts
in this country,” he said.
Murray Energy is the
largest privately owned
coal company in the
United States, with
mining operations in
Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky,
Utah and West Virginia.
Robert Murray, a Trump
friend and political supporter, has been pushing
hard for federal assistance for his industry.
The Associated Press
reported last year that
Murray asked the Trump
administration to issue
an emergency order
protecting coal-ﬁred
power plants from closing. Murray warned that
failure to act could cause

will also raise the cost of
electricity for all Americans.”
The ﬁve-member energy commission voted
unanimously Monday
to reject Trump’s plan
to reward nuclear and
coal-ﬁred power plants
for adding reliability to
the nation’s power grid.
The plan would have
made the plants eligible
for billions of dollars in
government subsidies
and help reverse a tide of
bankruptcies and loss of
market share suffered by
the once-dominant coal
industry as natural gas
and renewable energy
ﬂourish.
The Republicancontrolled commission
said there’s no evidence
that any past or planned
retirements of coal-ﬁred
power plants pose a
threat to reliability of the
nation’s electric grid.
Murray disputed that
and said the recent cold

the Crimson Tide its ﬁfth
national championship
since 2009 under coach
Nick Saban.
“He just stepped in
and did his thing,” Hurts
said. “He’s built for stuff
like this. I’m so happy
for him.” The Tide might
have a quarterback controversy ahead, but ﬁrst
Alabama will celebrate
another title.
For the third straight
season, Alabama played
a classic CFP ﬁnal. The
Tide split two with Clemson, losing last season
on a touchdown with a
second left.
What was Saban thinking as the winning pass
soared this time?
“I could not believe it,”

he said. “There’s lots of
highs and lows. Last year
we lost on the last play
of the game and this year
we won on the last play
of the game. These kids
really responded the right
way. We said last year,
‘Don’t waste the feeling.’
They sure didn’t, the way
they played tonight.”
Smith streaked into the
end zone and moments
later confetti rained
and even Saban seemed
almost giddy after watching maybe the most
improbable victory of his
unmatched career. A few
hours later, Alabama was
voted No. 1 in the ﬁnal
AP college football poll
for the 11th time, three
more than any other program.
After Alabama kicker
Andy Pappanastos missed
a 36-yard ﬁeld goal that
would have won it for the
Tide (13-1) in the ﬁnal
seconds of regulation ,
Georgia (13-2) took the
lead with a 51-yard ﬁeld
goal from Rodrigo Blankenship in overtime.
Tagovailoa took a terrible sack on Alabama’s
ﬁrst play, losing 16 yards.
On the next he found
Smith, another freshman,
and hit him in stride for
the national championship.
Tagovailoa was brilliant
at times, though he had a
few freshman moments.
He threw an interception
when he tried to pass on
a running play and all his
receivers were blocking.
He also darted away from
pass rushers and made

some impeccable throws,
showing poise of a veteran. Facing fourth-and-goal
from the 7, down seven,
the left-hander moved
to his left and zipped a
pass through trafﬁc that
hit Calvin Ridley in the
numbers for the tying
score with 3:49 left in the
fourth quarter.
He ﬁnished 14 for 24
for 166 yards. The winning play was, basically,
four receivers going deep.
“After the sack, we just
got up and took it to the
next play,” Tagovailoa
said. “I looked back out,
and he was wide open.
Smitty was wide open.”
Freshmen were everywhere for the Alabama
offense in the second half:
Najee Harris at running
back; Henry Ruggs III at
receiver; Alex Leatherwood at left tackle after
All-American Jonah Williams was hurt. It’s a testament to the relentless
machine Saban has built.
But this game will be
remembered most for his
decision to change quarterbacks trailing 13-0.
“I just thought we had
to throw the ball, and I
felt he could do it better, and he did,” Saban
said Tagovailoa. “He did
a good job, made some
plays in the passing
game. Just a great win.
I’m so happy for Alabama
fans. Great for our players. Unbelievable.”
Saban now has six
major poll national championships, including one
at LSU, matching the
record set by the man

who led Alabama’s last
dynasty, coach Paul Bear
Bryant.
This was nothing like
the others.
With President Trump
in attendance, the allSoutheastern Conference
matchup was all Georgia
in the ﬁrst half before
Saban pulled Hurts and
the ﬁve-star recruit from
Hawaii entered. The president watched the second
half from Air Force One.
“I don’t know how
Coach Saban found me all
the way in Hawaii from
Alabama,” Tagovailoa
said. “Thank God he
found me and we’re here
right now.”
The Tide trailed 20-7
in the third quarter after
Georgia’s freshman quarterback, Jake Fromm, hit
Mecole Hardman for an
80-yard touchdown pass
that had the Georgia fans
feeling good about ending
a national title drought
that dates back to 1980.
Fromm threw for 232
yards and for a while it
looked as if he was going
to be the freshman star of
the game, the ﬁrst to true
freshman to lead his team
to a national title season
since Jamelle Holieway
for Oklahoma in 1985.
“I mean, if you want
to ﬁnd out about Jake
Fromm, go ask those guys
on the other side of the
ball, and they’ll tell you
because that’s a really
good defense he just went
against,” Georgia coach
Smart said.

Belichick intends to return as Patriots coach
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
— Under Bill Belichick, the New
England Patriots have often
thrived when inundated with
scrutiny from outside of their
locker room.
They’ll have to do it again this
week as they prepare for their
divisional round matchup with
the Tennessee Titans.
Belichick said Monday that it
is “absolutely” his intention to
return as coach of the Patriots
next season, despite reports of
turmoil in the franchise involving himself, quarterback Tom
Brady and team owner Robert
Kraft.
Belichick said he didn’t have
anything to add to a joint statement the three men released
last week in response to an
ESPN report, citing undisclosed
sources, that detailed an array of
tension.
“I haven’t read the article. I’ve
already commented at length
about that situation,” Belichick
said. “Nothing has happened
since then, so I don’t have anything to add to it.”
The ESPN story highlighted
purported disputes concerning
Brady’s personal body coach,
Alex Guerrero, in player-medical
affairs.

Also mentioned was a supposed difference between Kraft
and Belichick over the decision
to trade former backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The
story implied Brady has taken
issue with a lack of praise from
Belichick this season.
When asked about another
report about his supposed interest in coaching the New York
Giants where he was a defensive
coordinator, the Patriots coach
said he is concerned only on
New England’s game with the
Titans on Saturday night.
“That’s where my total focus
is,” he said.
Last season the Patriots
played under a similar spotlight
after Brady was suspended for
the ﬁrst four games as punishment for his role in the “Deﬂategate” scandal.
New England thrived when he
returned, and went on to earn
its ﬁfth Lombardi Trophy with
a record comeback during its
Super Bowl win over Atlanta.
The Patriots haven’t lost in
the divisional round of the playoffs since falling 28-21 to the
New York Jets after the 2010
regular season. New England
has made it to at least the conference title game in each of the

past six seasons.
Special teams captain Matt
Slater, now in his 10th season
with the Patriots, said Belichick’s leadership sets the tone
when possible distractions creep
up.
“Coach Belichick has always
led us in a way that’s been very
direct, to the point, very focused
on the task at hand,” Slater
said. “Being able to live in the
moment, and just take things
day by day.”
Slater said it’s why he won’t
even give a thought to things
such as the Giants coaching
rumors.
“I’m just focused on preparing
for the Tennessee Titans with
coach Bill Belichick as my head
coach for the 2017 season,” he
said.
“I think everyone in that locker room feels the same way. The
nature of professional football
is tomorrow’s not guaranteed to
anyone; players, coaches. That’s
life.”
Told of Belichick’s comment
that he plans to return as coach
in New England next season,
safety Patrick Chung chuckled.
“I’m juiced. Keep coming
back,” he said. “When he’s done,
I’ll be done, too.”

Chicago Bears hire Chiefs assistant Matt Nagy
LAKE FOREST, Ill.
(AP) — The Chicago
Bears hired Kansas City
Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy as
their new head coach
Monday, hoping he can
help a foundering NFL
franchise emerge from
one of the worst runs in
its history.
The Bears announced
the move a week after
ﬁring coach John Fox,
who went 14-34 in three
seasons for a .292 winning percentage that
is the second-lowest in
team history. The Bears
were 5-11 this past season and haven’t ﬁnished
above .500 since they let
Lovie Smith go following a 10-6 ﬁnish in 2012,
two years after their last
visit to the playoffs.

The 39-year-old Nagy
spent the past 10 seasons working under
Andy Reid in Philadelphia and Kansas City.
He did not call plays
until late this season, but
drew praise for his work
with Chiefs quarterback
Alex Smith. In Chicago,
the former quarterback
at Delaware and then the
Arena Football League
will be trying to develop
No. 2 overall draft pick
Mitchell Trubisky.
The Chiefs won the
AFC West, only to blow
an 18-point halftime lead
in a playoff loss to Tennessee on Saturday. The
Bears met with Nagy on
Sunday and wasted little
time hiring him.
Chicago also interviewed Philadelphia

quarterbacks coach John
DeFilippo, offensive
coordinators Pat Shurmur (Minnesota) and
Josh McDaniels (New
England), Vikings defensive coordinator George
Edwards and Chicago
defensive coordinator
Vic Fangio.
General manager
Ryan Pace, who recently
got a contract extension through the 2021
season, announced the
decision and will have a
lot riding on Nagy’s performance.
Pace has had some
big hits in the draft
such as star running
back Jordan Howard
(2016, ﬁfth round) and
notable misses such
as oft-injured receiver
Kevin White (2015, ﬁrst

round). Injuries have
consistently exposed a
lack of depth, and Pace’s
record in free agency has
so far been shaky in trying to replace talented
players such as receivers
Brandon Marshall and
Alshon Jeffery, tight end
Martellus Bennett and
kicker Robbie Gould.
Fox helped restore
some of the professionalism that was missing
under former GM Phil
Emery and coach Marc
Trestman. But Fox’s conservative approach and
some questionable decisions during games were
sore spots.
The Bears were 3-15
against the NFC North
under Fox and dropped
all six division games
this past season.

Nick Saban’s 6th championship is the best of all
ATLANTA (AP) —
Nick Saban saved his
best for No. 6.
He’s won plenty of
national titles with better players than everyone else.
This time, it was all
about the coach.
If there was ever any
doubt that Saban will
go down as the greatest
ever to prowl a college
sideline, it was totally
erased with the championship that pulled him
even with the Bear.
In a most un-Sabanlike move, he switched
quarterbacks at halftime
of the national championship game, the kind of
desperate ploy you might
expect from a brash
young up-and-comer, not
a 66-year-old all about
the methodical process
— covering every base,
accounting for every scenario, winning over and
over again without a lot
of drama.
Tua Tagovailoa, a ukulele-playing, left-handed
freshman from Hawaii,
took the ﬁeld at the start
of the third quarter with
Alabama trailing 13-0
and doing absolutely
nothing on offense. The
Tide had accounted for
just four ﬁrst downs and

97 yards with two-year
starter Jalen Hurts taking the snaps, but it was
a bold decision nonetheless by the wily ol’
coach.
After all, this was the
biggest game of the season, and Hurts was the
one who led Alabama
there for the second year
in a row. He’s a proven
winner, having lost only
two out of 28 games
coming into Monday
night, and it certainly
would’ve been the safe
bet to stick with him a
little longer.
But Saban — who
refuses to let the game
pass him by even as
coaches young enough to
be his sons keep attempting to take him down
(including former assistant Kirby Smart, who
now coaches Georgia) —
switched to Tagovailoa
without hesitation.
It might go down as
the greatest decision in a
career ﬁlled with them.
Tagovailoa completed
14 of 24 passes for 166
yards and three touchdowns, the last of them
a 41-yard strike in overtime to DeVonta Smith
that gave Alabama a
26-23 victory over Georgia on Monday night.

“We’ve had this in our
mind that, if we were
struggling offensively,
that we would give Tua
an opportunity, even in
the last game,” Saban
said. “No disrespect to
Jalen, but … I thought
Tua would give us a better chance and a spark,
which he certainly did.”
The Tide rallied from
a pair of 13-point deﬁcits, and managed to pull
it together after Andy
Pappanastos shanked
a 36-yard ﬁeld goal try
that would’ve won the
game on the ﬁnal play
of regulation. Georgia
went on offense ﬁrst in
overtime and, after Jake
Fromm took a huge sack,
the Bulldogs settled for
Ricardo Blankenship’s
51-yard ﬁeld goal.
Alabama’s offense
took the ﬁeld and immediately fell into a huge
hole. Georgia sniffed out
a screen pass, Tagovailoa
couldn’t pick up his
next option and Georgia
dumped the youngster
for a 16-yard loss.
One play later, the
Tide was national champions.
With the poise of a veteran, Tagovailoa looked
to his right, causing the
Georgia safeties to slide

toward that side of the
ﬁeld. Then he swung the
other way, launching a
pass to Smith streaking
down the left sideline.
He ran right by cornerback Malkom Parrish,
who clearly thought he
had help from safety
Dominick Sanders, and
hauled in a pass that was
delivered in stride as he
glided all alone into the
end zone.
Saban has now won
ﬁve national titles in his
11 years at Alabama, and
his ﬁrst season doesn’t
really count since he had
to rebuild a program that
had become a laughingstock under a string of
mediocre coaches. When
you throw in a BCS title
from his time at LSU
(albeit a shared title,
since Southern Cal was
voted No. 1 in The Associated Press poll), he’s
matched Bryant for the
most championships by
any coach.
And, really, Saban has
the edge.
One of Bryant’s titles
comes with a huge
asterisk. In 1973, the
Tide ﬁnished No. 1 in
the coaches’ poll, which
was ﬁnalized before the
bowls. Alabama went on
to lose to No. 2 Notre

Dame 24-23 in the Sugar
Bowl, giving the AP title
to the Fighting Irish.
Let’s be honest,
nobody outside of Tuscaloosa and the Bryant
family views that team
as the best in the land.
Another feather in
Saban’s cap is the way
he’s won his championships. During the 2011
season, the Crimson
Tide stiﬂed LSU 21-0
with one of the great
defensive performances
in college football history. Two years ago, Alabama needed a dynamic
offense and great special
teams play to pull out a
45-40 victory over Clemson.
This time, he had to
make a change right in
the middle of the game
at the most prominent
position on the ﬁeld.
That’s a new one, even
for Saban.
“Somebody tried to
give me a game ball,” he
said. “It has to be a team
ball.”
Saban shows no signs
of slowing down or
giving the least bit of
thought to retirement.
He’ll celebrate this title
like he did all the other
ones, for about 24 hours
before he gets back to

work in pursuit of No. 7.
“Every team wants to
be successful,” he said.
“The message to the
team tonight after this
game was I hope you
take something from this
game and the resiliency
that you showed in this
game and it helps you be
more successful in life.
“It’s not just about
winning the championship,” Saban added, no
doubt remembering
a ﬁnal-second loss to
Clemson in last year’s
title game. “I know that’s
what you all write about
and what you talk about
and all that. We like winning, and we hate losing.
But there’s more to it
than that.”
Winning sure makes it
a lot more fun, though.
As Smith hauled in
the title-clinching pass,
Saban ripped off his
headset, threw his arms
in the air and let out a
bit of a scream.
For once in his life, he
seemed caught off guard.
It only lasted a
moment.
“I couldn’t believe
it,” Saban said, shaking
his head and repeating
himself.
“I could not believe
it.”

“I’ve won a game and
had a bad plus-minus
before, so what does that
matter?” James said. “I
don’t give a damn about
no damn plus/minus.”
The deﬁcit for the
Cavs reached 41 points
after a dunk by Wiggins
set up by a driving pass
by Tyus Jones, who had
grabbed his own miss
from 3-point range.
Butler had plenty to
do with that, contributing nine assists and
eight rebounds before
resting during the fourth
quarter. The Wolves led
69-42 at halftime, matching their largest ﬁrsthalf score from just two
nights ago, after a rainbow 3-pointer from the
top of the key by Butler
brought the fans to their
feet. That also tied the
most points allowed by
the Cavs in any half this
season.
“What he’s doing
every night, it’s amazing, but it’s also bringing
the best out of everyone
on the team, and to me
that’s the true mark of
greatness,” coach Tom
Thibodeau said of his
hand-picked leader and
star who arrived last
summer in a trade with
Chicago.
Butler has experienced
seven straight wins over
James and the Cavs. He
made sure the Wolves
didn’t slip after the
break, knocking down
a mid-range fadeaway,
stealing the ball back
and then swishing a
pull-up 3-pointer on the
other end to push the
lead to 31 points early in
the third quarter.
Jeff Green scored 22
points off the bench to
lead the Cavs, who’ve
lost six of their last
nine. Kevin Love, J.R.
Smith and Isaiah Thomas, three-ﬁfths of the
starting lineup, were a
combined 0 for 18 from
the ﬁeld in the ﬁrst half.
Love ﬁnished with three
points and two rebounds
in 21 minutes. But that
was hardly the problem.
“We’ve got to be better defensively,” coach
Tyronn Lue said.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)
— The Minnesota Timberwolves, like so many
lesser opponents over
the years, have been
largely unsuccessful in
trying to best LeBron
James.
This time, they built a
lead on Cleveland as big
as 41 points before the
end of the third quarter. It was just another
example of the difference Jimmy Butler has
made on this promising
team.
Andrew Wiggins
had 25 points in three
quarters, Butler pitched
in 21 points and tight
defense on James,
and the Timberwolves
cruised to a 127-99 victory over the Cavaliers
on Monday night.
“We did what we’re
supposed to do at
home,” Butler said.
“We’re a really good
team. They’re a really
good team. They missed
a lot of shots that they
normally make. We all
know that. We’ll see
them again down the
road, and hopefully we
play the same exact
way.”
Karl-Anthony Towns
(19 points, 12 rebounds)
and Taj Gibson (16
points, 13 rebounds)
were tenacious around
the basket for the
Timberwolves, who
outrebounded the Cavs
56-37, their largest
advantage of the season.
The Wolves had a 60-42
edge in points in the
paint, and every starter
but Towns took the
whole fourth quarter off.
With their 116-98 win
over New Orleans on
Saturday, the Wolves
have enjoyed a ferocious
start to this ﬁve-game
homestand.
“We just came out the
last two games with a
certain mentality, a certain focus,” Towns said.
James had just 10
points on 4-for-8 shooting, taking his ﬁrst
loss at Minnesota in
13 games since Feb.
17, 2005. He posted a
career-worst minus-39
rating.

Alabama is No.
1 in final AP poll
for 11th time
ATLANTA (AP) — Alabamawas voted No. 1 in the
ﬁnal Associated Press college football poll after the
Crimson Tide beat Georgia in the national championship game. Unbeaten Central Florida ﬁnished sixth.
The Crimson Tide received 57 of 61 ﬁrst-place
votes from the media panel after its 26-23 overtime
win on Monday night. UCF received the other four
and ﬁnished with the best ranking in the history of
the program. The Knights are the ﬁrst bowl-eligible
team to ﬁnish the season undefeated and not win
a national title since TCU in 2010. Ohio State was
12-0 in 2012, but banned from the postseason by the
NCAA.
Georgia ﬁnished second, its best ranking since
2007, and Oklahoma was third, followed by Clemson
and Ohio State.
The AP national championship is the 11th for the
Crimson Tide, three more than any other school, and
ﬁfth under coach Nick Saban since 2009. Saban joins
the late Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant as the only
coaches with ﬁve AP titles.
Alabama is the ﬁrst preseason No. 1 to ﬁnish No.
1 since Southern California in 2004 and the 11th
overall. For the fourth time, two teams from the same
conference ﬁnished Nos. 1 and 2. The last three times
it has happened involved Southeastern Conference
teams at the top (2007, 2011 and now 2017).
Washington State, which lost to Michigan State
42-17 in the Holiday Bowl, was the only team ranked
in the ﬁnal regular-season poll to fall out of the Top 25
after the bowl season. North Carolina State moved in
after beating Arizona State 52-31 in the Sun Bowl and
ﬁnished No. 23.

The Patriots are rested,
recharged and rankled
By Arnie Stapleton
Associated Press

Recharged and rankled are the New England Patriots, who await a visit from the Tennessee Titans in
the AFC divisional playoffs next weekend.
The Titans (10-7) are coming off their ﬁrst playoff
win in 14 seasons, a 22-21 thriller at Kansas City in
the wild-card round Saturday that left the Chiefs winless at Arrowhead in the postseason since 1994.
The Patriots (13-3) are fresh off their eighth consecutive ﬁrst-round bye as they seek their third title in
four years.
They’re not only refreshed but ﬁred up after a
report suggesting a fractured relationship that could
break up the franchise’s three most important pieces
in QB Tom Brady, coach Bill Belichick and owner
Robert Kraft.
Jacksonville (11-6), coming off its ﬁrst playoff win
in a decade, a 10-3 snoozer over Buffalo on Sunday,
visits Pittsburgh (13-3) in the other AFC divisional
playoff game (1:05 p.m. ET Sunday on CBS).
The Steelers are hoping the weekend off helps Antonio Brown return from a torn calf he sustained on
Dec. 17 against New England.
The NFC’s top seed, Philadelphia (13-3), hosts the
defending conference champion Atlanta Falcons (116) on Saturday (4:35 p.m. ET on NBC) and the Minnesota Vikings (13-3) host the New Orleans Saints
(4:40 p.m. ET Sunday on FOX).
The Saints (12-5) edged Carolina 31-26 Sunday
night in the wild-card weekend ﬁnale.
The Falcons throttled the upstart Los Angeles Rams
26-13 Saturday night, sending the league’s best comeback story of 2017 to a premature end.
The Patriots have won 11 of 12 after stumbling to a
2-2 start but the buzz around Boston isn’t about their
usual dominance but whether that excellence could be
coming to an end soon.
Brady, Belichick and Kraft released a joint statement this weekend dismissing as “ﬂat-out inaccurate”
an ESPN report detailing an array of tension in New
England between the triumphant triumvirate responsible for decorating team headquarters with ﬁve
championship trophies.
One of the many things the Patriots are good at is
navigating negativity.
Last year they overcame the loss of tight end Rob
Gronkowski to win it all and they’re trying to do the
same this year without receiver Julian Edelman and
linebacker Dont’a Hightower, two of their biggest
stars.
The Titans came back from a 21-3 halftime deﬁcit
Saturday at Kansas City and in the process probably
saved coach Mike Mularkey’s job .
Team owner Amy Adams Strunk on Sunday said
her coach isn’t going anywhere after helping change
the Titans’ culture and leading them to their ﬁrst playoff victory in 14 years.
The Titans opened as 13-point underdogs to the
Patriots (8:15 p.m. ET on CBS).
“This is a good test for our football team,” Mularkey said, “but these are the type of games you have to
win.”
Or go home.
The Titans needed an amazing comeback to get
their latest win, which tied for the second-largest rally
by a road team in the playoffs. Dallas also overcame
an 18-point deﬁcit in 1972 in the divisional round to
beat San Francisco.
Only Detroit’s rally from 20 points down in 1957 to
beat the 49ers in the divisional round was bigger than
Tennessee’s comeback.
The other AFC game is a rematch of Week 5, when
the Jaguars beat Pittsburgh 30-9 . Ben Roethlisberger,
who threw ﬁve interceptions in that game, has led
Pittsburgh to 10 wins in 11 games since then with
the lone loss coming against the Patriots, 24-21 last
month when Brown got hurt and missed most of the
showdown in Pittsburgh.

Can the Pac-12 rebound?
The West Coast’s
conference was a dud
in 2017, missing out
on the playoff for the
second time and then
crashing in the postseason with a 1-8 bowl
record. Bowl records
can be deceiving, but it
is compounded by the
fact that the conference
is having a hard time
keeping pace with the
other Power Five conferences in revenue and
exposure.
Washington should
still be a national contender and Stanford
can be relied upon for
consistent top-20 performance. But coaching changes at UCLA,
Oregon and the Arizona
schools, in addition to
USC trying to replace
Darnold, means the
Pac-12 could again have
a hard time putting a
team in the playoff.

Danica Patrick shifts careers
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — Danica Patrick’s days as a race car
driver are pretty much
over. She says she has
two races left in her, the
“Danica Double,” but
she has yet to announce
rides for either the Daytona 500 or the Indianapolis 500.
With nothing racing
related to announce,
Patrick has stormed
into her second act and
shifted gears away from
the track.
She returned to work
last week promoting
her new book, “Pretty
Intense,” a 90-day
food, body and mind
plan that she swears
will change your life.
She exercised on live
television, prepared
a meal, did a media
blitz in New York City,
then capped her week
by returning to North
Carolina for her ﬁrst
book signing.
