Doctor who ordered pain
meds kept working for weeks

Gov. Mike DeWine, ﬁrst lady Fran DeWine and Lt.
Gov. Jon Husted (HYOO’-sted) showed up unexpectedly Tuesday at the Ohio version of the March

DeWine told the crowd that government functions
to “take care of those who cannot take care of themselves, to protect those who are harmed, to
protect those who are the weakest members
of society.” He said that includes the unborn.
DeWine has parted with predecessor John

Senate rejects rival Dem, GOP plans
Associated Press

J. Scott Applewhite | AP

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., leaves the chamber Thursday after Senate
Democrats blocked President Donald Trump’s request for $5.7 billion to construct his long-sought
wall along the U.S-Mexico border, as a partial government shutdown continues for a 34th day.

three weeks while bargainers seek a solution.
“We’re talking,”
Schumer told reporters,
one of the most encouraging statements either
side has made since the
shutdown began Dec.
22.
At the White House,
spokeswoman Sarah
Huckabee Sanders said
Trump would consider
signing a short-term
bill “only if it includes
a down payment on the
wall.”
For most of Thursday,
both parties in conﬂicting ways to showed their
sympathy for unpaid
federal workers while
yielding no ground in
their ﬁght over Trump’s
demand to build a bor-

der wall with Mexico.
The Senate ﬁrst rejected a Republican plan
reopening government
through September and
giving Trump the $5.7
billion he’s demanded
for building segments
of that wall, a project
that he’d long promised
Mexico would ﬁnance.
The 50-47 vote for the
measure fell 10 shy of
the 60 votes needed to
succeed.
Minutes later, senators voted 52-44 for a
Democratic alternative
that sought to open
padlocked agencies
through Feb. 8 with
no wall money. That
was eight votes short.
It was aimed at giving
bargainers time to seek

an accord while getting
paychecks to 800,000
beleaguered government
workers who are a day
from going unpaid for a
second consecutive pay
period.
Flustered lawmakers
said the results could
be a reality check that
would prod the start of
talks. Throughout, the
two sides have issued
mutually exclusive
demands that have
blocked negotiations
from even starting:
Trump has refused to
reopen government
until Congress gives
him the wall money, and
congressional Democrats have rejected bargaining until he reopens
government.

WASHINGTON — A
splintered Senate swatted down competing
Democratic and Republican plans for ending
the 34-day partial government shutdown on
Thursday, leaving President Donald Trump and
Congress with no obvious formula for halting
the longest-ever closure
of federal agencies and
the damage it is inﬂicting around the country.
In an embarrassment
to Trump that could

responsibility. Especially when it’s
based upon God’s Word. I genuinely
desire to preach from the
right heart each week.
With that in mind, here’s
a column about seeking
God’s heart.
There’s a deerstalker on

Words in a suit and tie, you walk

warily from one place to

another. It’s the appearance of Sherlock Holmes,
but it’s the lifestyle of countless individuals today.
There’s a game I play when I strive
to know the way. It’s called “detective,”
and it’s not fun. I consider the possibilities, attempting to locate the best possible outcome. But here’s the problem: I
don’t know the best possible outcome.
Therefore, I spend an unnecessary
amount of time trying to ﬁnd an answer
to a question beyond my pay grade.
By now, I’m sure you understand why
playing “detective” is such a nuisance
for me. But I still haven’t told you the
most difﬁcult portion of the game.
You see, the worst part of “detective”
is whenever multiple questions are
posed—all at the same time! I’m considering a handful of possibilities for
each scenario. All the while, I’m unable
to discover the best possible outcome
for each one.
Needless to say, by this stage of
“detective,” I’m overcome with anxiety.
I mean, considering the amount of pressure I’m placing upon myself, it’s no
wonder. And sometimes, I’m tempted
to just quit altogether. So if my effort
doesn’t ﬁnd God’s will, then what does?
God’s will will ﬁnd you if you faithfully ﬁnd Him. It’s less about ﬁnding
God’s will and more about letting His
will ﬁnd you. Let me explain.
The Bible says, “Trust in the LORD
with all your heart; do not depend on
your own understanding. Seek his will
in all you do, and he will show you
which path to take” (Prov. 3:5-6 NLT).
Jesus says, “‘But seek ﬁrst the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and
all these things shall be added to you’”
(Matt. 6:33 NKJV).
Do you notice the common theme
among these verses? Instead of seeking
God’s will, seek God. Instead of seeking
a response from God, seek a meaningful
conversation with God. Instead of seeking a revelation from God, seek a relationship with God. After all, when you
faithfully ﬁnd God, His will ﬁnds you.
But what does it mean to “faithfully”
ﬁnd God? Let’s take another look at
these scriptures.
“Trust in the LORD with all your
heart…” (Prov. 3:5). Not part of your
heart. Not a portion of your life. Not
a fraction of your time, energy, and
efforts.
“Seek his will in all you do…” (Prov.
3:6). Not just some things—nope,
everything you do. Not only on Sunday
morning, but Monday through Saturday, too.
“‘But seek ﬁrst the kingdom of God
and His righteousness…’” (Matt. 6:33).
Not second. Not third. Don’t squeeze
God into your schedule, and don’t list
Him among your priorities. Let Him be
your everything.
Some seek God for what He has to
offer and not for who He is.
Jesus feeds over ﬁve thousand people
with ﬁve loaves of bread and two ﬁsh
(John 6:1-15). The next day, many of
the beneﬁciaries approach Jesus. But
Jesus says, “‘I tell you the truth, you
want to be with me because I fed you,
not because you understood the miraculous signs’” (V. 26 NLT).
Those are some harsh words, but
we’ve all been there. I mean, it’s easy to
seek God’s provision without seeking
to understand His character. It’s easy to
seek God for what He does and not for
who He is.
Jesus goes on to say, “‘But don’t be so
concerned about perishable things like
food. Spend your energy seeking the
eternal life that the Son of Man can give
you. For God the Father has given me
the seal of his approval’” (V. 27 NLT).
In other words, devote your life to
seeking God. Devote your time, energy,
and efforts toward a relationship with
Jesus Christ. After all, God knows our
deepest desires, and He knows what’s
best.
So, yes. Stop trying to ﬁnd God’s will.
Stop seeking God for what He has to
give. There’s more to life than resources. There’s a relationship with Jesus.
And as you seek Him more and more,
you’ll catch a glimpse of His will.

God dispels discouragement
Discouraged? God will
help.
One Bible character exempliﬁed a serious time of discouragement perhaps more
than any other. Elijah was
a mighty prophet for God.
Unfortunately, after feeling
the emotional and spiritual
high of a great victory on
behalf of the Lord, he got
lower than a snake’s belly in
a wagon track. So much so
that he wound up alone in a
cave on Mt. Horeb. You can
read about it in I Kings 19.
The thing to note is how
God ministered to Elijah.
God dispelled his discouragement. Consider how God did
so for Elijah, and consider
comparatively how God will
minister to you when you
get dumpy and grumpy with
affairs in life.
First, God helped the man
by letting Elijah debrief.
Three times Elijah was
permitted to get things off
his chest. In no uncertain
terms, Elijah told the Lord
just exactly how he felt. God
did not stop him. God did
not interrupt him. But, God
heard him out.
This is one way God helps

uplifting. I have experienced
the same on several occasions. God is good about
doing that type of thing
when we are discouraged.
Furthermore, you will
notice from the Biblical
account that, although God
did not sternly rebuke Elijah
for being so pitiful, what God
did was that He directed
Elijah what to do next. Elijah
had work to do. During this
time of discouragement, God
helped to dispel it by letting
Elijah know that he was still
useful. The Lord will let you
know the same thing, for you
are always useful to Him! So,
do not ever give up or give
in.
Finally, God dispelled
the discouragement by giving Elijah a direct word of
encouragement, essentially
informing the man that he
was not the last man standing. There were plenty of
others, too, by which God
reminded him that he was
not standing alone. Sometimes we need to be reminded of that fact ourselves.
Discouraged? God, oh,
most certainly, helps.

Jesus is rejected…
Luke 4: 14-21
Did you know that Jesus’ coming was
ﬁrst told in the Old Testament? It was,
so the Jewish people were waiting for
the Messiah to appear and
the prophesy to be fulﬁlled.
Jesus grew up in the town
of Nazareth, so the people
knew Him from the time He
was little. When this story
(Luke 4: 14-21) takes place
though, Jesus was a grown
God’s Kids man and had been away
Korner from Nazareth for quite a
Pastor Ann while, but the people still
Moody
remembered Him. They had
been hearing about all the
wonderful things Jesus had been doing in
other cities.
One Sabbath, Jesus was back visiting
Nazareth and went to the synagogue (the
Jewish church) to worship. The person
in charge of the scrolls (long, rolled up
paper that the Bible was written on before
books) asked Jesus to read the Scriptures
that day. This was a great honor, so everyone watched as Jesus laid the scroll on the
desk and chose the verses He wanted to
read that day.
Jesus picked verses from Isaiah 61:1-2
where it says, “The Spirit of the Lord
is on Me because He has sent Me and
picked Me to preach good news to the
poor, heal the brokenhearted, give freedom to the captives, release the prisoners,
proclaim the day of vengeance of God,
and comfort all who mourn.” The people
had heard this Scripture many times
before, but they weren’t sure whom God
was sending to do all these things. Just
as they were wondering about this question, Jesus sat down and said, “Today this
Scripture is fulﬁlled in your hearing.” In
other words, Jesus was saying, “I am the
one that God is sending to make these
things happen. I am the one that Isaiah is
talking about here.”
The people didn’t expect that! They
started murmuring, “Isn’t this the son of
Joseph?” How could He ever be the Messiah? Jesus and His father Joseph were
just carpenters. All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard Jesus
say these things. Jesus went on to say,
“No one is a prophet in his hometown.”
The people were so mad, in fact, they
drove Jesus out of town and took Him
to the top of a hill and intended to throw
Him off the top, but the Bible says, Jesus
walked right through the crowd and went
on His way.
Oh my! The people in the synagogue
that day certainly missed a blessing by
God’s Son. Today, we know that Jesus was
God’s Son who came to earth to do everything He said above and even more. He
died on the cross to save us from our sins
and helps us every day and never leaves
us alone. Hopefully, we will never be like
the people of Nazareth that Sabbath and
doubt Jesus as our Savior.
Let’s say a prayer. Father God, thank
You for sending Jesus to proclaim the
Good News to us all. Help us to never

Waterford holds
off Tornadoes,
68-57 Tuesday
By Alex Hawley

WATERFORD, Ohio — So much for momentum.
The Southern boys basketball team had its
three-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday
in Washington County, as Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division host Waterford ended its threegame skid with a 68-57 victory over the Purple
and Gold.
The teams were tied at eight after eight minutes
of play, but the Wildcats (8-5, 7-3) went on a 18-to10 second quarter run and headed into half with a
26-18 edge.
Southern (6-7, 5-5) was outscored by a 19-to-15
clip in the third period and trailed 45-33 with one
stanza to play. The Tornadoes saved their best for
last, pouring in 24 points over the ﬁnal eight minutes, but the hosts sealed the 68-57 victory with a
23-point quarter, featuring a 9-of-10 performance
from the free throw line.
Waterford claims a sweep of Southern for the
ﬁrst time since the 2016-17 season, as the Wildcats won by a 52-50 count on Jan. 8 in Racine.
The Tornadoes connected on 20-of-52 (38.5
percent) ﬁeld goal attempts, including 7-of-20 (35
percent) three-point tries, while Waterford was
24-of-47 (51.1 percent) from the ﬁeld, and 1-of-8
(12.5 percent) from beyond the arc. The hosts
made 19-of-21 (90.5 percent) foul shots, while
SHS was 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) from the charity
stripe.
WHS won the rebounding battle by a 33-to27 tally, with both teams grabbing 10 offensive
rebounds. Southern committed a dozen turnovers,
three fewer than Waterford, while collecting 10
assists, seven steals and four rejections. The hosts
combined for 16 assists, eight blocked shots and a
trio of steals.
SHS senior Weston Thorla hit a game-best ﬁve
three-pointers and ﬁnished with 25 points, 21 of
which came in the second half. Trey McNickle
recorded nine points and three assists for the
guests, Brayden Cunningham chipped in with
eight points, while Cole Steele came up with seven
points and three assists.

Point Pleasant wins home quad
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Not exactly the
expected statement.
The Point Pleasant
wrestling team — the
top-ranked Class AA
program in West Virginia — produced a 32-10
record individually and
doubled-up all three of its
state-ranked opponents
on Wednesday night
en route to three wins
during a quad match at
The Dungeon in Mason
County.
The host Big Blacks
posted sizable victories
over Wirt County (66-12)
and Clay County (66-15)
— the second and 10th
ranked teams in Class A
— in the opening and ﬁnishing bouts of the night.
The middle round,
however, pitted the Red
and Black against East
Fairmont — the second
ranked team in Class
AA and a legitimate
contender for this year’s
state crown.
PPHS went just 3-2
through the ﬁrst ﬁve
lightweight divisions, but
the hosts ultimately went
on to win six of the last
nine contests while claiming a 45-22 triumph.
Overall, the Big Blacks
had 19 pinfall wins, two
technical falls and a pair
of major decision wins
— as well as six wins by
forfeit.
East Fairmont was
the only team that Point
Pleasant did not earn
double-digit wins against
over the course of 14
divisional bouts. That

Fairmont opponent during a 106-pound match Wednesday at Point
Pleasant High School in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

9-5 record followed a
12-2 margin against Wirt
County and preceded an
11-3 count against Clay
County.
The Big Blacks had 10
grapplers go unbeaten by
night’s end, half of which
posted perfect records
against all three opponents.
Most would agree
that it was pretty good
night for the home team,
and PPHS coach John
Bonecutter certainly
acknowledged that it was
just that.
However, after winning
the Fandetti-Richardson
Brawl and WSAZ Invitational over the past two
weekends, the 10th year
mentor was expecting
a little more from his

troops — especially a
group with aspirations of
bringing home this season’s AA championship.
“We faced three stateranked programs tonight,
so it’s not like we wrestled any slouches this
evening,” Bonecutter said
with a small chuckle. “But
to be honest with you, I
thought we were a little
ﬂat tonight. I thought
that we didn’t wrestle particularly well in spots. We
had bright spots too, but
we need to stay hungry
and clean it up a little bit.
“We battled and we had
three good wins against
three quality programs,
so it’s a nice problem to
have. I’m just not happy
with the overall performance because I feel like

we could have wrestled
better. We want to put
our best product out
there on the mat every
night, and I don’t feel we
entirely did that tonight.
We’ll just get back to the
drawing board.”
Derek Raike (120126), Mitchell Freeman
(138-145), Wyatt Wilson
(145-152), Juan Marquez
(182) and Jacob Muncy
(285) all went 3-0 in their
respective weight classes.
Freeman and Muncy
each landed three pinfall
wins, while Raike and
Marquez scored two
pinfalls apiece. Wilson
also had a single pinfall
to his credit. Raike also
won by technical fall (224) against WCHS at 120
pounds.
Isaac Short (106) and
Wyatt Stanley (220) both
went 2-0, with Stanley
notching a pinfall and

Freeman (106) both
scored a pinfall in their

in their respective weight
classes, with Southall

Purdue takes down OSU 79-67

Win

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— Purdue and Ohio State are
teams going in opposite directions as they get into the meat
of the Big Ten schedule.
Streaking Purdue has won
four in a row and seven of the
last eight, with guard Carsen
Edwards positioning himself
among the nation’s scoring leaders.
Ohio State has lost ﬁve
straight — the longest losing
streak for the school in two
decades — and is searching for
answers. An injury last week to
key big man Kyle Young added
to the hurt.
Edwards carried the load
again for Purdue with 27 points
on Wednesday night as the Boilermakers (13-6, 6-2 Big Ten)
held off a late Ohio State rally,
winning 79-67 on the road.
The Buckeyes (12-6, 2-5)
surged back from a 10-point
halftime deﬁcit and got within
two points with seven minutes
left before Edwards knocked
down a 3-pointer and the Boilermakers opened it back up.
“Last year you saw that a
lot when we would just kind
of grind some teams out, and
I think today was one of the
times we really did that,” said
Purdue center Matt Haarms,
who had nine points. “They
kept coming back we just kept
blowing it open again.”
Ohio State again got scant
production from its top scorer,
Kaleb Wesson, who got into foul
trouble for the third straight
game. Coach Chris Holtmann
picked up a technical foul for his
vehement protest after Wesson
picked up this third foul late in
the ﬁrst half.
Wesson’s older brother Andre
had a career-high 22 points on
4-for-5 shooting from beyond
the arc, and Musa Jallow had 12
for Ohio State.
Ryan Cline added 13 points
for the Boilermakers.
Purdue started the game 1 for
8 from the ﬁeld as Ohio State

Fairmont. Abbas had a 17-2
technical fall against WCHS,
while George Smith had a
14-3 major decision against
the Tigers.

built a 17-8 lead. But the Buckeyes got sloppy, watching the
Boilermakers go on a 22-1 run
that included 3-pointers from
Grady Eifert and Eric Hunter Jr.
and pair of 3-point bombs from
Ryan Cline.
“We should have (been up)
anywhere from 15 to 18 at the
half, instead we’re at 10,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said.
“They shoot the ball well in the
second half and make a lot of 3s
and had a really good stretch.
They made it a game.”
The Buckeyes closed the
score to 58-56 on a Jallow
3-pointer with seven minutes
left but couldn’t get any closer.
A 3-pointer by Eifert with 1:01
left all but sealed it.

Purdue: The Boilermakers
are rolling behind Edwards and
a solid supporting cast. They’ll

another matchup with No. 6

Snead’s big bets on Rams’ future pay off in Super Bowl trip
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.
(AP) — One year ago, general manager Les Snead and
the Los Angeles Rams’ front
ofﬁce decided they had to jump
through the championship window that had suddenly, shockingly appeared before them.
Now that they’ve landed on
their feet in Atlanta, Snead has
zero regrets about writing the
checks and making the commitments necessary for his Super
Bowl-bound team to make that
leap.
“After winning the division
last year, after contending last
year, we sat back and said,
‘We deﬁnitely feel like we can
do this, and we could do this
consistently for a little while,’”

Snead said Wednesday. “I
think the moves this year were
(about saying), ‘Let’s improve.
That wasn’t good enough.’”
The Rams reached the playoffs last season for the ﬁrst
time in 13 years, with rookie
coach Sean McVay leading a
seven-win improvement for a
franchise that hadn’t had a winning season since 2003.
But Los Angeles promptly
lost its ﬁrst postseason game
to the Falcons, putting a slight
damper on that incredible oneseason turnaround.
Knowing the tenuousness
of NFL success for every team
except the Patriots — and
realizing the impact that a
Super Bowl run could have in

The Associated Press

The head-spinning
offenses NFL fans are
enamored of and will
watch in the Super Bowl
in Atlanta share their
explosiveness with the
previous team to win the
big game in the ATL.
The Greatest Show On
Turf.
Yes, at the turn of
the century, there was
a group that shared so
many light-em-up traits
with these Rams and
Patriots. The St. Louis
Rams under of all people,
Dick Vermeil — for
decades a defense-minded
coach — employed a
quick-strike scheme with
a resourceful quarterback,
game-breaking receivers,
a Hall of Fame running
back and an offensive line
that could dominate while
blocking in the ground
game or protecting the
passer.
Most of all, that team
starring Marshall Faulk,
Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce,
Torry Holt and a group of
lesser knowns embraced
the attitude of attacking
a defense from the ﬁrst
snap until the last.
They weren’t as workmanlike as the Patriots
can be, and they didn’t
have a rising star overseeing it such as Sean McVay
with the current Rams.
What the 1999 Rams
brought to the Super
Bowl in early 2000 was a
killer instinct when they
had the ball that both of
the teams who will meet
on Feb. 3 also possess —
though not as spectacularly.
“That team and that
era, football kind of saw
everyone with a mindset
of 3 yards and a cloud of
dust in December and
January, and you had to
be able to run the football
to win was kind of the
mantra,” says Warner,
who entered the Pro
Football Hall of Fame
in 2017. “We were one
of the ﬁrst to show you
can win throwing ﬁrst. I
guess that is all relative
with such an extremely
talented team because
Marshall ran for almost
1,400 yards.
“But if you think about
it, we sort of started to
usher in the new age, and
fantasy football, and the
fan bases of not just diehards. I think it became a
new era of what the NFL
would be about and what
people would be seeing.
That led to where we are
at: people love offense
and love to see scoring.
Even a lot of the rules are
kind of catered to allowing a little more freedom
to do that.”
The freedom is so,
well, free that this year,
the NFL set records for
touchdowns with 1,371,

beating the previous mark
in 2013 by 33; and was
second to 2013 in points
with 11,952.
Three teams — the
Chiefs (35.3, the Rams
(32.9) and the Saints
(31.5) — averaged at
least 30 points per game.
Kansas City scored 565
points, third most in NFL
history.
When the St. Louis
Rams were partying like
it was 1999, they scored
526 points; ranked ﬁrst
in yards, yards passing,
and TD passes; and were
second in yards rushing per attempt. Faulk
rushed for 1,381 yards
and seven touchdowns,
caught 87 balls for 1,087
yards, with ﬁve more
TDs, and was the NFL
Offensive Player of the
Year for the ﬁrst of three
straight seasons.
All Warner did was win
the ﬁrst of his two league
MVP honors. Previously
an obscure backup whose
best work had come in
Arena Football, Warner
stepped in when starter
Trent Green tore up his
knee in the preseason.
His rise to prominence
wasn’t exactly projected
at that point.
“In college at Northern
Iowa, we played a wideopen offense a lot, which
played into my skillset,”
Warner says. “When I
played Arena Football,
we scored 60 to 70 points
a game. So my mindset
in the NFL was not we
are going to score 25 or
30 points, but every time
we touch the ball we are
supposed to score. Why
do we have to punt? If we
punt, what are we doing
wrong?”
That philosophy
certainly contradicted
Vermeil’s previous
approach. To his everlasting credit, though,
Vermeil recognized what
he had on offense. And
he also went 5-11, then
4-12 in his previous
two years in charge in
St. Louis. So winning
immediately was a priority for the veteran coach
to keep his job.
So he turned loose
coordinator Mike Martz
and the rest of the
offense.
“The talent might have
been a bit unreﬁned, but
it was there,” Vermeil has
said. “It was our belief we
could be productive on
offense, but does anyone
really expect to be that
productive? I am not sure
of that.”
Well, Warner did.
“I never really saw the
game a whole lot differently,” he says. “I was so
used to going on offense
and throw the ball and
score and throw some
more and score. It kind of
led right into what we did

They gave huge contracts to
Gurley and Donald — and even
to receiver Brandin Cooks, who
had just been acquired from
New England for a ﬁrst-round
pick and hadn’t even suited up
yet for Los Angeles.
Snead’s largely homegrown
roster was suddenly supplemented by elite, high-priced
veteran talent, and McVay’s

After matching the NFL’s
best regular-season record at

and New Orleans in the postseason, the Rams are beginning
preparations for their trip to
Atlanta to face New England in
the Super Bowl on Feb. 3.

Snead knows some of the
Rams’ moves were greeted
with raised eyebrows. Talib

their strong personalities, with
Peters particularly enduring
rough patches in college at
Washington and again with
Kansas City.
Yet there hasn’t been a hint
of serious conﬂict in the Rams’
harmonious locker room.
Despite some up-and-down
performances, Peters allowed
the Rams to get past the loss
of Trumaine Johnson, their top
cover cornerback last season,
while Talib is a team captain
who has been the Rams’ top
cover man since returning from
injury in December.

Last year, a high-proﬁle overhaul of NCAA
transfer rules stopped
short of creating free
agency in college sports.
A much quieter
change, however, helped
quarterback Shea Patterson play for Michigan
and will determine
whether Justin Fields is
eligible this fall at Ohio
State. The modiﬁcation
to the waiver process
can be seen as something of a compromise
that has cleared the way
for more athletes to
switch schools and play
right away.
“The membership
wanted to put immediate eligibility back on
the table,” said Dave
Schnase, the NCAA
vice president of academic and membership
affairs. “And so whether
that resulted in a high
approval rate, I don’t
think membership knew.
They just wanted to
put that back on the
table. And then the
circumstances of each
individual case would
essentially dictate the
approval rate.”

Whether ex-Georgia quarterback Justin Fields (1) will be eligible
to play this fall at Ohio State depends on a big change the NCAA
made last year that helped quarterback Shea Patterson play for
Michigan. The modification to the waiver process has cleared
the way for more athletes to switch schools and play right away.

Immediate eligibility for all transfers
was considered, but
ultimately not included
in the NCAA’s wellpublicized reformation
last year. New rules no
longer require athletes
to request permission
from a school to transfer,
just provide notiﬁcation. Then the athlete’s
name is entered into an
NCAA-run database,
the so-called transfer
portal that notiﬁes other
schools the athlete can
be recruited.
The new legislation,

however, did not change
the waiver guidelines.
That modiﬁcation was
approved by the NCAA
Division I Council in
April , with few outside
the process noticing.
Before the change,
immediate eligibility
for an undergraduate
transfer could be granted
only when a school
could show extremely
egregious behavior by
the previous school. Otherwise, the most NCAA
ofﬁcials could grant was
an additional year of eligibility, tacked on at the

end of a college career.
A request for immediate eligibility can now
be granted if the transfer
was due to “documented
mitigating circumstances
that are outside the
student-athlete’s control
and directly impact the
health, safety and wellbeing of the studentathlete.”
There is a lot of wiggle
room in there for discussion.
Patterson’s was the
ﬁrst well-known case
to go through under
the new guidelines. He
transferred to Michigan
after Mississippi was hit
by NCAA sanctions.
Patterson was granted
eligibility for the 2018
season in late April ,
and several of his former
Ole Miss teammates
later had their waivers approved. Other
cases drew attention,
too, including receiver
Demetris Robertson
being allowed to play
immediately after transferring from California
to Georgia. Running
back Antonio Williams
was granted immediate
eligibility after transferring from Ohio State to
North Carolina.

Rozier’s 26 points carry Celtics past Cavs

Senior Bowl ‘golden
opportunity’ for small
school prospects

BOSTON (AP) — The
Boston Celtics had a
little tuneup before their
big mid-winter test.
Terry Rozier scored
22 of his 26 points in the
first half and the Celtics coasted to their fifth
straight victory with a
123-103 win over the
struggling Cleveland
Cavaliers on Wednesday
night.
Now, they look ahead
to a showdown with
defending champion
Golden State at TD Garden on Saturday night.
“We have a great test
Saturday and we’ll learn
more about us,” Boston
coach Brad Stevens said.
“We’re not where we
want to be at this point.”
Jaylen Brown scored
23 points, Gordon
Hayward 18 and
Jayson Tatum 15 for
Boston, which won its
10th straight at home.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — John Cominsky has more
people watching Senior Bowl practices this week
than he figures would typically attend his games at
Division II Charleston.
“We maybe had three or four hundred people max
at our games watching us play,” the defensive lineman said. “Just the attention here has been completely new to me. A lot of these guys are used to it from
the Power 5 schools. This is an experience I’ve never
had. I can’t help but smile and be excited about it.”
He’s not alone.
While the Senior Bowl rosters are littered with
players from Power 5 schools as usual — some of
whom are already household names among college
and NFL fans — there’s plenty of others looking to
make an impression. That includes small-school stars
who caught the attention of NFL teams while playing
in front of small crowds away from the glamour of
major college football. Saturday’s Senior Bowl will be
the first nationally televised games for some.
Players like Cominsky, Delaware cornerback Nasir
Adderley and high school quarterback-turned left
tackle Tytus Howard of Alabama State are competing against their big-school counterparts all week in
front of NFL scouts, coaches and executives.
Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden, who’s leading
the North team, can relate to them somewhat as a
product of the University of Dayton.
“It’s huge. Carson Wentz proved a couple of years
ago it doesn’t matter where you come from,” Gruden
said. “There’s been a lot of obscure schools represented here. I think these guys have a chip on their
shoulder, some of them. They want this. This is the
only chance they can get to prove that they belong
with the big boys. So keep an eye on a lot of these
schools that aren’t your Power 5 conferences.”
All told, the Senior Bowl rosters include 11 FCS
players and three from Division II, including Cominsky. He arrived at Charleston as a 215-pound quarterback but measured in this week at 6-foot-5, 285
pounds.
Now, NFL teams are getting a chance to see how
he fares against bigger, stronger, faster blockers than
he typically faced.
“It’s a golden opportunity because the competition
at D-2 just doesn’t cut it for these scouts,” Cominsky
said. “It’s exciting to watch me run through somebody’s face but not when it’s at the Division II level.
They want to see it bigger, better. You see these
offensive linemen walking around here, these are the
guys they want to see me do it to.”
Gruden said small college products like wide
receivers Keelan Doss (UC Davis) and Penny Hart
(Georgia State) helped themselves in Wednesday’s
practice, and also cited Cominsky. The practice was
moved to South Alabama’s indoor facility because of
the weather.

ering management’s proposal from
last offseason to institute pitch
clocks. An agreement with the
players’ association is necessary
for playing rules changes. While
management can make changes
with one year advance notice,
Commissioner Rob Manfred
repeatedly has said he is reluctant
to take that step.
Changes in off-the-field rules
may be governed by a requirement
in federal labor law that unions
agree to alterations in terms and
conditions of employment.
Talks are ongoing and are
expected to extend to the eve of
spring training, if not beyond.
Teams averaged 3.4 relievers
per game last year, up from 3.2
in 2016 and ‘17 and 3.0 in 2012,
according to Sports Info Solutions. The total number of relief
pitchers used was 16,339 last season, up from 15,657 in 2017.

pitchers are less successful the
third time through the batting
order. Increased DL and minor
league option use has led to a
strategy of teams rotating their
middle relievers with their minor
league affiliates in order to have
more available pitchers each day.
Teams even began using relievers
as “openers” to start games last
season, a trend sparked by the
Tampa Bay Rays.
As part of the plan, a player
optioned would have to spend at
least 15 days in the minor leagues,
up from 10. That limit has been
waived when a player is recalled
to replace someone going on the
DL, gets suspended under the
drug or domestic violence agreements, or goes on a paternity or
bereavement list.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major
League Baseball has proposed

optioned players usually must
spend in the minor leagues, a person familiar with the negotiations

aimed at reducing the use of relief

The person spoke on condition
of anonymity Wednesday because
the plans were not publicly
announced.
The minimum length of time
an injured player spends on the
disabled list was cut from 15 days
to 10 in 2016 as part of baseball’s
new labor contract. As a result,
DL placements rose from 563
in 2016 to 702 in 2017 and then
