State Farm Museum is
keeping the lights on just
a little bit longer.
The museum’s annual
light show was to close
on Sunday, after its annual run. The lights are
open for only a limited

gates two extra nights.
This year, the lights will
be on from 6-9 p.m., Friday, Dec. 23 and Saturday, Dec. 24. Admission
is still free though those

Also, Santa will not be at
the museum Friday and
Saturday and the Country Kitchen and Country
Store will also be closed.
However, the lights,
which are the main
attraction, will be aglow

have said volunteers at
the museum helped make
these extra days of the
lighting display possible.

2 children who died
saving others among
21 Carnegie Heroes
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Two children who
died saving the lives of even younger children
are among 21 people being honored with Carnegie medals for heroism.
The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, based
in Pittsburgh, announced the winners Tuesday.
Natalie Renee Martin, 11, of Sheboygan Falls,
Wisconsin, led her 9-year-old sister, Jenna, to
safety when their house burned on Jan. 26.
Natalie went back into the house attempting
to rescue two other siblings, 10-year-old Benjamin Martin and 7-year-old Carter Maki, but all
three were trapped and died later of complications from smoke inhalation.
Kiera Vera Larsen, 10, was killed Feb. 22
when she pushed 2-year-old Emmah Gusich out
of the way when a parked vehicle began rolling
down a sloped driveway toward the toddler
in El Cajon, California. Kiera was struck and
killed by the vehicle.
The commission is named for the late steel
magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie,
who was inspired by stories of heroism during a coal mine disaster that killed 181 people,
including a miner and an engineer who died
trying to rescue others.
The commission investigates stories of heroism and awards medals and cash several times
a year. It has given away $38.7 million to 9,914
awardees or their families since 1904.
Other winners announced Tuesday, with
rescues taking place in the hometown of each
winner unless otherwise noted:
— Peter F. Pontzer, 51, of Fairfax, Virginia,
and Duncan O.C. Harris, 21, of Buffalo Grove,
Illinois, saved a 13-year-old boy from drowning
in the Atlantic Ocean at Emerald Isle, North
Carolina, in July 2015.
— Ryan R. Rollinger, 39, of Harrisburg,
South Dakota, was an assistant principal who
saved his principal from further harm after the
principal was wounded by a 16-year-old student
with a gun at school in September 2015.
— William E. Ramirez, 46, of Pembroke
Pines, Florida, who saved a Miami police
ofﬁcer from assault when the driver of a taxi
pulled over by the ofﬁcer opened ﬁre in April
2015.
— Nathan Ryan Reynolds, 35, of Claremont,
California, who saved a 75-year-old woman and
9-year-old girl from a car that crashed into a
pond in Marina, California, in January 2015.
— R. Wayne Trivette, 67, of Metamora,
Ohio, and Timothy A. Holtz II, 35, of Sand

woman from a burning vehicle after a crash in
Jasper, Michigan, in July 2015.

Georgia leads nation in number of executions
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia led
the nation this year in the number
of inmates put to death, an anomaly
that’s due at least in part to executions in Texas dipping into single
digits for the ﬁrst time in 20 years.
With nine lethal injections in
2016, Georgia accounted for nearly
half of the 20 executions nationwide. It was the most inmates the
state has put to death in a calendar
year since the U.S. Supreme Court
allowed executions to resume 40
years ago. It was almost twice as
many as the state’s previous record
of ﬁve, set in 1987 and matched
last year.
Texas, meanwhile, executed
seven inmates, the fewest the state
has put to death since 1996, when
three people were executed. Alabama had two executions, and Florida and Missouri had one apiece.
Executions and new death sentences have been on the decline
in recent years for a variety of reasons, and that continued in 2016.
Even as Georgia carried out 14

executions in 2015 and 2016, no
new death sentences were imposed
in the state. Texas sent four people
to death row in 2016 and two in
2015.
Georgia typically sets an execution date once an inmate has
exhausted all of his appeals. In
recent years, however, executions
have been halted for months at a
time, essentially creating a backlog
of inmates who were eligible for
execution that was cleared this
year.
A legal challenge to the change
in the execution method from three
drugs to one drug stopped executions in Georgia from July 2012 to
February 2013. Executions paused
again from July 2013 to May 2014
while lawyers challenged a law
that makes secret the source of the
state’s execution drugs. And another lull came from March to September 2015 after a drug intended
for use in an execution was found
to have precipitated, leaving solid
chunks ﬂoating in what should have

been a clear solution.
There are currently no Georgia
inmates who are eligible for execution, according to the attorney
general’s ofﬁce, and the state is
unlikely to have another record
year in 2017.
In Texas, a dozen condemned
inmates had their scheduled executions postponed in 2016, some
more than once, according to
records kept by the Death Penalty
Information Center, a nonproﬁt
that provides analysis and information about capital punishment.
A combination of factors led to
the 20-year low in Texas, said Kathryn Kase, executive director of the
Texas Defender Service.
The state was the ﬁrst in the
country to create a junk science
writ, which can give defense attorneys an opportunity to reopen
convictions and ask the courts to
take a closer look if evidence used
to convict the inmate is no longer
considered scientiﬁcally sound, she
said.

THEIR VIEW

Donna Gentile
O’Donnell: Jon
Stewart should head
the DNC — no kidding
By Donna Gentile O’Donnell
Contributing Columnist

Jon Stewart should be the next chairman of the
Democratic National Committee.
No, this is not a joke. It’s a proposal to grapple
with the reality of where Democrats are since the
Nov. 8 election, which cost Democrats the White
House, more congressional seats and governorships, and legislative seats across the country. It’s
a recognition that, even with an incredibly popular president and even more popular ﬁrst lady
campaigning for the Democratic standard bearer,
historic though she may have been, the strategy
went down in ﬂames.
Yes, there were third-party candidates. Yes,
there were bad campaign decisions by Team Clinton. But, more than anything, the Democratic
Party, embedded with supervoters within the
nomination process, didn’t grasp the anger and
disgust of too many Americans who have been
left behind.
These people are tired of being ignored and
lied to and sick of watching Washington elites
serve themselves while ignoring the needs of others. These people know their kids will not have a
better life than they did — the very heart of the
American dream — because their chances of getting through college are evaporating along with
their own job prospects.
Bernie Sanders’ successful campaign should
have been a signal to Democratic Party leaders
that something extraordinary was happening.
Instead of exercising leadership by adapting to
the tone and tenor of the country, they doubled
down on a bad bet. They should have listened to
Hillary Clinton’s rhetorical question, “Why am
I not beating (Donald Trump) by 50 percent?”
Instead, they failed to grasp the enormity of the
question and dig out an answer.
Now we are in the demonization phase. Of the
winners. Of each other. But most especially, the
loathed Trump supporters and voters. And that’s
where our next series of mistakes will begin.
We can’t double down on the past. We need to
ask ourselves hard questions. We need to talk to
Donald Trump voters. And we need to listen to
them. I don’t mean the alt-right. I mean blue-collar voters who could have been Democratic voters
if we had given them something to vote for.
The next chairman of the DNC should be able
to understand all this and more. And Jon Stewart, in his impressive post-election comments,
does exactly that. We collectively need to grasp
new lessons in this post Trump/Clinton time.
Here are a few:
Celebrity matters. We have learned this from
Trump the hard way.
Outsider status matters. No one from Congress
should be the DNC chair because of competing
agendas that will necessarily occur. And whoever
does this job needs to be fully committed politically.
Wealth matters. Someone of independent
means will not be subject to the kinds of cross
examination that will follow expenditures —
again, Trump lessons apply here.
Thoughtfulness matters. Stewart refuses to
discard his friends who were Trump voters. He
described them as average people who are just
fed up. Such an approach is incredibly important to the future of the Democratic Party. We
must understand and include, not demonize and
exclude.
Humor matters. If Democrats are to ﬁnd our
way out of the wilderness, we must rediscover
our sense of humor, which has all but disappeared post-election. I need someone to make me
laugh.
I have no idea if Stewart has any interest in taking on such a task. I know only that he inspires
thoughtfulness with a caliber of humor, political
and otherwise, that is unsurpassed in America.
And he has a civic-minded sense of purpose, as
demonstrated in so many ways over the course of
his public career.

THEIR VIEW

English precedent lent assist to Eighth Amendment
By David F. Forte
Contributing Columnist

Some parts of the Constitution were written in
reaction against Great
Britain, for example,
the Third Amendment’s
prohibition on quartering soldiers. But other
parts relied upon English
precedents. The Eighth
Amendment is one of
those.
The Eighth Amendment forbids four kinds
of punishments: excessive bail, excessive ﬁnes,
cruel punishments and
unusual punishments.
None of the terms are
self-deﬁning. Consequently, the courts have
had some interpretive
difﬁculty in deﬁning the
clause.
The amendment
derives from a similar
protection in the English
Bill of Rights (1689).
But the purpose of this
earlier English version
was to prevent politically
motivated punishments.
Translating that prohibition into a protection
for the ordinary person
charged or convicted of a
crime is a different challenge.
The courts have had
three approaches in
applying the amendment:
originalist, determining what the ratifying
generation regarded
as excessive, cruel, or
unusual; conventional,
relying upon whatever
any generation at the
time thinks of the terms;
and impliedly inherent,
or a natural rights or a
natural law basis of what
would be an unacceptable manner of treating
any human person at any
time.
The English version of
the excessive bail clause
was designed to prevent
courts from setting a

bail so high as to effectuate an imprisonment of
a political opponent of
the Crown. American
courts have presumed
that there is a right to
bail for anyone accused
of a crime, for no one
should be deprived of his
liberty solely on the basis
of a yet unproven charge.
Without the opportunity
for bail, arrest turns into
a pre-trial, and perhaps
lengthy, detention. The
purpose of bail, then, is
solely to guarantee the
appearance at trial of the
defendant, and courts
make that determination
on a case-by-case basis.
The courts have generally been deferential,
however, to legislative
determinations as to
when bail may be denied
in particular circumstances, such as capital
crimes, or a charge of a
particularly serious crime
by persons who might
pose a danger, or for
those with alleged terrorist connections.
In England, the excessive ﬁnes clause was a
corrective to the practice
of levying a high ﬁne
against an opponent of
the king, thus allowing
him to be imprisoned for
non-payment. Here too,
American courts have
accorded deference to
laws that set the level
of ﬁnes for offenses.
The Supreme Court has
declared that the Eighth
Amendment only forbids
ﬁnes that are “grossly
disproportionate to the
gravity of a defendant’s
offense.”
The English version
of the cruel and unusual
punishments clause was
also anti-royal. It forbade
the king (or the king’s
courts) from imposing a
punishment that Parliament had not authorized.
In the American colonies,

the prohibition also
extended to cruel or tortuous punishments such
as drawing and quartering, and the Supreme
Court early on interpreted the amendment
to apply only to those
punishments regarded as
cruel at the time of the
founding. Novel punishments, such as execution
by ﬁring squad or electrocution were accordingly
approved. But permanent
shackling of a convicted
person or imposing
severely painful punishment has been voided as
cruel. At present, there is
much debate over whether execution by lethal
injection, is, in itself, or
by the manner in which it
is administered, a “cruel”
punishment.
Some courts suggested that the prohibition against unusual
punishments would
apply to new measures
that were excessive or
disproportionate, even
if they were not, in their
nature, cruel or tortuous.
On that question, the
Supreme Court’s views
have been divided and
confusing. Chief Justice
Earl Warren rejected an
originalist understanding of the clause in favor
of a conventional view,
namely, that the clause
forbids punishments
contrary to the community’s “evolving standards
of decency.” Under a
number of approaches,
the court in Furman v.
Georgia (1972) forbade
the imposition of capital
punishment if it were
done so “arbitrarily.” A
number of justices opined
that the clause would
forbid all forms of capital
punishment.
Although the court in
Gregg v. Georgia (1976)
explicitly rejected the
idea that the clause for-

bids all forms of capital
punishment, shifting
majorities have subsequently established the
principle that the unusual
punishments clause does
indeed forbid “grossly”
disproportionate penalties. Application of the
standard, however, has
been vigorously contested within the court and
has produced few bright
line rules.
The court has struck
down capital punishment
or even life sentences
without possibility of
parole for juveniles
convicted of homicide.
It forbade execution for
rape where no life had
been taken. The court’s
decisions on the question
of executing people with
diminished capacity point
to a restriction there too.
The clause also forbids
removing a person’s citizenship as punishment,
or sentencing a person
merely for addiction,
though imprisonment
for public intoxication is
allowed.
Most signiﬁcantly, the
court has imposed special procedures on lower
courts before a sentence
of death can be imposed.
There must be a separate
hearing before a jury can
determine that execution
is the appropriate remedy. The statute establishing the particular standards meriting execution,
usually of “aggravating
circumstances,” must be
clearly understandable.
It is in these procedural
requirements that most
of the judicial restrictions
on the actual imposition
of capital punishment
have occurred.

COLUMBUS,
Ohio (AP) — The
Ohio Supreme Court
dismissed a public
information lawsuit
Tuesday without ruling on its argument
that video from police

In not taking up the
issue, the court noted
that the video had
already been released
— two days after
news organizations
requested the footage
in the July 19, 2015,
trafﬁc stop and fatal
shooting of a black
motorist by a white
University of Cincinnati ofﬁcer.
News organizations
including The Associated Press sued Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters last
year when he initially
refused to release
the police bodycam
video. Deters released
the material after the
ofﬁcer was indicted
on charges including
murder.

Dec. 18
Deputies were dispatched to a residence
on Route 684 in Harrisonville to investigate a
suspicious vehicle sitting
in the caller’s driveway.
Deputies arrived and
found an intoxicated male
sleeping in a truck. He
claimed that he had been
drinking at the residence
that he was parked at in
which that information
was determined to be
true. The male was not
charged with any offense
and a family member was
contacted to come to the
scene and take the male
and his vehicle home.
Dispatch received an
alarm drop at TNT on
Lower Route 7. A deputy
responded and checked
the building. Everything
was found to be secured.

the deputy returned to

Hornets sting Lady Raiders
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

Paul Boggs/OVP Sports

River Valley senior Erin Jackson (2) drives against the
Coal Grove defense during Monday night’s non-league
girls basketball game at River Valley High School.

BIDWELL, Ohio —
Credit the Lady Raiders
for still playing hard all the
way to the end.
Unfortunately, for River
Valley, its offense very
much remains a work in
progress.
Too many turnovers, and
not enough points, once
again doomed the host
Raiders on Monday night
—as River Valley fell 50-30
to Coal Grove in a nonleague girls basketball tilt.
The Lady Raiders never
led, scored in single digits
in the opening two quarters, and twice trailed by

as many as 24 points inside
the ﬁnal three minutes.
In fact, after tying the
contest at 3-3 with two
minutes and 20 seconds
remaining in the ﬁrst period, the Raiders didn’t score
again until trailing by double digits — and with 5:25
to play in the ﬁrst half.
The Lady Hornets stung
the Raiders for 10 unanswered points over a span
of three minutes to lead
13-3 only a minute and 13
seconds into the second
stanza, as River Valley got
no closer than 13-5 and
15-7 from there.
In leading 21-9 at halftime, Coal Grove outscored
the Silver and Black 13-11

in the third frame for a
34-20 advantage —before
winning the ﬁnal quarter
16-10 for the 50-30 ﬁnal.
The Hornets held a
double-digit advantage
in the entire second half,
ranging anywhere in the
third period from 11 to 16
points.
Coal Grove then garnered leads of 48-24 with
2:45 remaining, followed
by a 50-26 cushion with
1:27 to play.
The loss left the Lady
Raiders at 2-6, while the
Hornets raised their record
to 4-2.
With the Raiders trailing 3-0, Erin Jackson split
a pair of free throws at

the 4:38 mark of the ﬁrst
quarter, as she then nailed
a jumper against the Coal
Grove 2-3 zone two minutes and 18 seconds later.
From there, though, the
next River Valley points
came on a Jackson drive
to the hoop—with 5:25
remaining before halftime.
The Raiders’ only other
points in the second canto
were a Maggie Campbell
ﬁeld goal at the 4:45 mark,
followed by a Jessica Steele
basket with 12 seconds
showing.
In the third quarter, Jackson dropped in two twos,

Lady Marauders pull
away from Athens
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

THE PLAINS, Ohio — On a cold night, the
Meigs Lady Marauders ﬁnally warmed up.
That’s because the visiting Marauders doubled
up the Athens Bulldogs in the third quarter, and
pulled away on Monday evening for a 52-41 TriValley Conference Ohio Division girls basketball
victory inside McAfee Gymnasium in The Plains.
After struggling against Athens’ zone defense
for most of the ﬁrst half, and even trailing 10-7
following the opening quarter, the Lady Marauders outscored Athens 45-31 over the ﬁnal three
periods.
The big damage, despite a 10-6 triumph in the
second stanza, was the Marauders’ roll in the third
—when Meigs bit the Bulldogs 24-12 in the frame.
As a result, the Meigs Countians turned a 17-16
halftime lead into a 41-28 advantage after three
quarters.
As part of that blitzing of the Bulldogs, the
Marauders enjoyed a 20-5 run, spearheaded largely
by Devin Humphreys.
Humphreys poured in 19 points on seven ﬁeld
goals and 5-of-7 free throws, and ripped down 13
rebounds in leading Meigs to victory.
“Early on, our guards were making rash decisions, like reversing the ball too quickly,” Meigs
coach Jarrod Kasun told The Athens Messenger.
“Once we reiterated to them the importance of
looking inside, they started to relax and that’s
when things came together for us. And Devin
(Humphreys), she’s got a good game from 15-feet.
We’ve played quarters like that (third) in almost
every game. We don’t seem to get off the bus ready
to go, but we close well, and our defense keeps us
in games until our offense comes around.”
With the win, Meigs improved its record to 4-1
— and upped its TVC-Ohio tally to 2-1.
The Bulldogs fell to 1-8 — and 0-4 in the league.
Although, Athens amounted a 10-9 lead late in
the second period — thanks to three-pointers by
Emma Harter and Laura Manderick and a pair of
baskets by Kaylee Stewart.
However, Humphreys hit a foul-line jumper with
30 seconds remaining in the half, giving Meigs the
17-16 halftime edge.
Then, as part of Meigs’ third-quarter barrage,

Southern senior Faith Teaford (45) releases a shot attempt during the first quarter of Monday night’s TVC Hocking girls basketball
contest against Belpre in Racine, Ohio. Teaford became the fourth Lady Tornado in school history to score 1,000 career points during a
54-43 setback.

Lady ‘Does fall to Belpre, 54-43
Teaford becomes 4th Southern girl to reach 1K points
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com

RACINE, Ohio — She’s
waited a lifetime for this
moment.
So has everyone else
around her age … and
younger.
Senior Faith Teaford
became the ﬁrst Southern girl to surpass 1,000
career points in 19 years
Monday night following
a 54-43 setback to visiting Belpre in a Tri-Valley
Conference Hocking Division matchup in Meigs
County.
Teaford — a two-time
All-Ohio selection in Division IV — became the
fourth Lady Tornado in
school history to reach
quadruple digits for a
career, joining the likes
of Melanie Weese, Amy
Littleﬁeld Wolfe and
Renee Turley on the very
exclusive yet prestigious
list.
Turley, who graduated
in 1998, was also the
last SHS girl to reach the
1,000-point mark during
her prep career.
Teaford — who needed
just seven points entering
Monday night’s contest
— converted the ﬁrst of
two free throws with 7:39
remaining in the third
quarter to reach the milestone, making it a 30-19

contest at the time.
Teaford — who ended
up converting both charity tosses — went to the
line after hauling in an
offensive rebound and
was fouled while attempting a putback.
Teaford ﬁnished the
night with a double-double effort of 16 points and
12 rebounds, both teamhighs, while also blocking
four shots in the setback.
Following the game,
Teaford admitted that it
was difﬁcult to enjoy such
a feat in defeat. But, in
trying to stay upbeat, she
did note that this moment
was still a dream come
true … especially now
that it’s over.
“I have really felt a lot
of pressure this season
about trying to get to a
thousand, so I’m really
glad that this is done
and over with. It really
is, however, a great feeling and quite an honor
to be only one of four
girls to ever do this at
Southern,” Teaford said.
“This has been a dream
of mine ever since I was
a little kid and it’s just
been something that I’ve
always wanted to do. It
feels great to ﬁnally get
there and now we can
just focus on playing basketball.
“It would have been

nice if this happened in a
win, but we made a very
competitive game out of
it and left what we had
on the ﬂoor. We were
close, we just couldn’t
come back from that slow
start.”
The ﬁrst quarter
proved to be key to the
rest of the night as the
Lady Golden Eagles
(8-1, 6-0 TVC Hocking)
stormed out to early leads
of 7-0 and 19-4 before taking a 19-7 lead after eight
minutes of play.
Teaford — who did not
score in the opening period — netted six of the
Lady Tornadoes’ 11 markers in the second canto,
with both teams trading
11 points apiece en route
to a 30-18 BHS advantage
at the break.
Southern (5-3, 3-2)
committed 17 turnovers
in the ﬁrst half and
attempted 11 fewer shots
than the Orange and
Black, who turned the
ball over just three times
before the intermission.
The Purple and Gold also
held a 26-12 rebounding
edge at the break.
Teaford set her mark
with the opening points
of the second half, but
Belpre answered with a
quick 5-0 run to secure
its largest lead of the
game at 35-20 with 6:30

remaining.
SHS, however,
answered with a 13-7
charge to close out the
canto — making it a
42-33 contest headed into
the ﬁnale.
Belpre missed its ﬁrst
four shot attempts in the
fourth, while the hosts
nailed three of their ﬁrst

Browns keeping RG3
as starter vs. Chargers
CLEVELAND (AP) — RG3 is getting chance
No. 3. And maybe his last one for the Browns.
Still looking for that elusive ﬁrst victory,
Cleveland coach Hue Jackson is keeping Robert Grifﬁn III as his starting quarterback this
week against San Diego for the bad-to-the-bone
Browns, who are desperately trying to avoid an
0-15 start and perhaps the second 0-16 season
in NFL history.
“We’ll go out there and give him another
opportunity to take a swing at it,” Jackson said.
Jackson had considered changes following
Sunday’s 33-13 loss in Buffalo, the Browns’
sixth straight by double digits. However, after
watching the game tape, Jackson felt Grifﬁn
made more progress in his second start since
Sept. 11 and will give him another one.
“There was some improvement,” Jackson said
on a conference call. “There were some things
that I thought he did much better when you go
back and watch the tape than the ﬁrst time he
played. Hopefully there can be another jump in
this next game. But I think he needs to go play
and he needs to play well.”

Madison Hendricks

apiece.
The Marauders, in

Meigs, despite shooting just 2-of-12 from
three-point range, did
hold a 19-13 advantage
in total ﬁeld goals —
and committed only six

Athens’ 15.
The Bulldogs kept it
close on the strength
of seven three-pointers
— three by Harter (12
points), two by Manderick (13 points) and
one apiece by Stewart
(13 points) and Haley
Wiseman.
The Marauders also

Could Fournette,
McCaffrey be starting
new bowl trend?
By Steve Megargee
Associated Press

The decisions by LSU’s Leonard Fournette and
Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey to bypass postseason games as they prepare for the NFL could be a
jolt to the bowl business.
“Is it a sign of things to come?” asked Arthur
Weiss, an agent based in Franklin Lakes, New
Jersey. “I would think that it’s too early to say for
sure, but when you factor in the type of ﬁnancial
considerations that these top-ranked players are
facing, it may well be headed in that direction.”
McCaffrey, the 2015 Heisman Trophy runnerup, announced Monday he wouldn’t play in the
Dec. 30 Sun Bowl between No. 16 Stanford and
North Carolina “so I can begin my draft prep
immediately.” Three days earlier, Fournette said
he would miss No. 19 LSU’s Citrus Bowl matchup
with No. 15 Louisville on Dec. 31 to rest an
injured ankle.
The two running backs are regarded as potential
ﬁrst-round draft picks, with Fournette expected to
be among the ﬁrst players picked.
Their decisions garnered so much attention
Monday that Texas A&amp;M junior defensive end
Myles Garrett released a statement through the
university saying he would play in the Texas Bowl
against Kansas State. Garrett hasn’t announced
whether he plans to turn pro after this season, but
he is considered a potential No. 1 overall pick.
Bowl ofﬁcials have taken the news in stride, at
least publicly.
Steve Hogan, the executive director of the Citrus Bowl and Russell Athletic Bowl, said he was
aware at the time LSU received a Citrus invitation
of the possibility Fournette’s ankle might prevent
him from playing.
“I hope it’s not a trend,” Sun Bowl executive
director Bernie Olivas said. “As far as Christian,
I’m not speaking for him, but I know where he’s
coming from, especially based on the fact he’d
been injured this year already and didn’t want to
risk reinjuring.”
Last season, Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon
Smith tore two knee ligaments in a Fiesta Bowl
loss to Ohio State, and has not played since.
Smith was projected as a potential top-ﬁve pick
before his injury, and instead went to the Dallas
Cowboys in the second round with the 34th overall pick in the draft. The difference in guaranteed
contract money is about $19 million.
Wright Waters, the executive director of the
Football Bowl Association, said he understands if
an injury prevents a star player from performing
in a bowl game.
“If we have someone who is just pulling out of
the game … and they’re just saying, ‘I might get
hurt,’ and they don’t have any problem, yeah,
I’ve got a problem with that,” Waters said. “And I
think that’s in some cases kind of narrow-sighted,
because they might have the opportunity to
enhance their (stock).”
North Carolina junior defensive tackle Naz
Jones will forgo his senior season to enter the
draft and will play in the Sun Bowl.
“I still have things that I can put on ﬁlm,” Jones
said. “Yeah, I’m not in that category to sit out a
game like that.”
Pittsburgh junior running back James Conner
redshirted the 2015 season as he recovered from
a knee injury and battled cancer. Conner said
he never considered missing the 22nd-ranked
Panthers’ Dec. 28 Pinstripe Bowl matchup with
Northwestern.
“I just feel like I’m going to take advantage of it
really, showing the scouts I’m back to my normal
self and that I can compete at a high level after
everything I’ve been through,” Conner said.
McCaffrey’s Stanford teammates Trenton Irwin
and Solomon Thomas sent out tweets supporting
him Monday. Dallas Cowboys rookie running back
and former Ohio State star Ezekiel Elliott tweeted: “I would do anything to play one more time
with my brothers in that scarlet and gray.”
Elliott bypassed his senior season to enter the
draft. He added in separate tweets: “there is a
difference between not coming back for your last
year and not ﬁnishing your last season.”
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said he understands getting upset about a player bailing out on
his team, but there is more to it.

Bengals out of playoffs for first time in 6 years
CINCINNATI (AP) —
The Bengals are missing
out on the playoffs for
the ﬁrst time in six years
because they couldn’t
close out games — does
that sound familiar?
The trend started with
their most recent playoff
appearance.
They reached the postseason for a club-record
ﬁfth season in a row and
then blew a lead over
Pittsburgh in the closing
minute at Paul Brown
Stadium last January.
Their 18-16 loss — set
up by a fumble and two
personal fouls — left
them still without a playoff victory since the 1990
season.
The sixth-longest such
drought continues now
that the Bengals (5-8-1)
have been eliminated
from the race by a 24-20
loss to the Steelers at
Paul Brown Stadium on
Sunday, when they blew a
lead in the fourth quarter
again.
All season long, it’s as if
they had a hangover from
the playoffs, unable to do

what’s needed to pull out
a close game at the end.
“That’s been our Achilles’ heel all season — not
ﬁnishing in the fourth
quarter,” running back
Jeremy Hill said.
During their NFLrecord ﬁve straight
opening-round losses in
the playoffs, the Bengals
kept coming up short at
the end of close games.
That trend has been even
more pronounced during
this regular season. Their
ﬁnal ﬂame-out was the
season in a microcosm.
Down 20-9 at halftime,
the Steelers held the Bengals to 38 total yards in
the second half and did
just enough on offense
— aided by numerous
Bengals penalties — to
close it out.
Something’s missing
for Cincinnati in the
clutch moments.
“I don’t have the
answers, but we have to
ﬁnd a way to ﬁnish these
close games,” tight end
Tyler Eifert said.
The coaching and the
roster will come under

scrutiny in the offseason.
Coach Marvin Lewis is
under contract through
2017. He got a one-year
extension after last season’s playoff meltdown
left him with the worst
postseason coaching
record in NFL history at
0-7.
The offense has struggled under ﬁrst-year coordinator Ken Zampese,
especially in the second
half of games. Cincinnati
has scored only 51 points
in the fourth quarter this
season, an average of 3.6
that is the worst in the
NFL. The winless Cleveland Browns are secondto-last.
In the past six games,
the Bengals have managed three ﬁeld goals
and a safety in the fourth
quarter while going 2-4
and getting eliminated
from contention.
The loss to Pittsburgh
on Sunday was especially
telling. The Steelers’
defense clamped down in
the second half, and the
Bengals weren’t able to
ﬁgure out a way to move

the ball.
Also, the defense got
shoved around, allowing
Pittsburgh to hold onto
the ball for the ﬁnal 5:53
with a 13-play drive.
“They came in after
halftime and made some
adjustments and they
stopped us,” receiver
Brandon LaFell said.
“Every time we needed
to get a ﬁrst down, we
couldn’t pick it up.”
The offensive line
struggled much of the
season — Andy Dalton
was among the league
leaders in getting sacked
— and the starting
defense was among the
oldest in the league.
“We failed in a bunch
of ways that hurt us,”
Lewis said on Monday.
“We didn’t protect the
quarterback early on
well enough. We gave
up explosive plays on
defense early in the season. All of those things
we can look back to as
to why we are where we
are. We never got it all
the way turned around
enough.”
