After 30 years as the owner of D&M Pizza, Marty Morarity cut his final pizza on New Year’s Eve. Morarity and his wife Debbie turned over ownership of the business to their daughter, Brittany Morarity, effective on Jan. 1, 2020. Debbie Morarity explained that when they bought the business in 1989 she was pregnant with Brittany. Now, 30 years later Brittany will be running the business she grew up in. Brittany Morarity said she is excited about the opportunity. Asked if she was nervous, she said she was not, as she had been there all her life, even before she was born. When D&M Pizza started in 1989 the business had one employee, now they average eight to ten employees at a given time, some who are students working their first job and some who have been there longerterm. Some of the employees have been second generation employees, with their parents also having worked at D&M Pizza. During the past 30 years, Marty Morarity has worked with Sysco foods, with company representatives Matthew Glover and Holly Taylor on hand for Morarity’s final day on Tuesday. Sysco District Sales Manager Matthew Glover explained that the work between the company and businesses such as D&M Pizza is that of business partners, rather than business and customer.

Middleport Village begins trash collection By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com MIDDLEPORT — Residents in the village of Middleport now have a new trash pickup service provider. After several years of contracting with outside companies to provide service to residents in the village, Village Administrator Joe Woodall explained that the village will begin providing the service itself in 2020. The first scheduled day of service was Jan. 2, 2020. Woodall explained that the village received grant funding in the amount of $177,300 from the USDA Rural Development for the purchase of the two trucks, with the additional $72,700 coming from a 10-year, 3.25 percent interest loan. With the purchase of one larger truck and one smaller truck, Woodall explained that the village will utilize both trucks. The smaller one to be used particularly on smaller streets and alleys. Two trucks also allows for continued ser- Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Village administrator Joe Woodall and then Mayor Sandy Iannarelli are pictured with the two new trash trucks purchased by the village. vice should one truck be out of operation. “The village has never been self sufficient on trash service. We are looking to make this successful,” said Woodall. By providing the service itself, the village has been able to add an additional employee who resides in the village and has a Class B CDL. Additionally, Woodall said the village will be able to better control inflation of rates on the service, as they had no control with outside contractors. The service will also be able to pick up unlimited amounts and larger items which should help to keep the village cleaned up, noted Wood- all. He reminded that they will not be able to pick up any hazardous materials. “We want a nice neat town. Residents deserve that,” said Woodall of the reasons for the pick up of larger items and the unlimited pick up. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel.

Morarity has had many loyal customers over the years, and even those who have moved out of the area make a point to stop in for a pizza when they are in town. Plans are to keep the menu and hours the same for the time being, with additions possible in the future, said Brittany Morarity. D&M Pizza is located on State Route 124 between Syracuse and Racine. Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has built up the biggest backlog of unfunded toxic Superfund cleanup projects in at least 15 years, nearly triple the number that were stalled for lack of money in the Obama era, according to 2019 figures quietly released by the Environmental Protection Agency over the winter holidays. The accumulation of Superfund projects that are ready to go except for money comes as the Trump administration routinely proposes funding cuts for Superfund and for the EPA in general. The four-decade-old Superfund program is meant to tackle some of the most heavily contaminated sites in the U.S. and Trump has declared it a priority even while seeking to shrink its budget. “There hasn’t been a sense of urgency,” said Violet Donoghue, who has lived for 31 years on Bon Brae Street in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Toxic PCBs have poisoned some local soil, water and fish at nearby Lake St. Clair, and the neighborhood is one of the 34 Superfund sites where cleanup projects languished for lack of money in 2019. “I feel many people have been harmed, but that’s only my opinion,” Donoghue said. She said the last word from the EPA was that soil would be removed from the front of her house. “Now when they say they’re cleaning it, I say, ‘OK, give me the date,’” she Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel.

Given the growing numbers of unfunded cleanup projects, “EPA should be knocking on the door of Congress and saying, give us more money to deal with the sites,’’ Enck said. Asked what the EPA spent money on instead, and why the agency didn’t ask Congress for more to deal with the growing backlog, EPA spokeswoman Maggie Sauerhage offered few specifics Thursday. The EPA’s Superfund program “will continue to prioritize new construction projects based on which sites present the greatest risk to human health and the environment,” Sauerhage said in an email. “Further, the agency maintains the authority to respond to and fund emergencies at these sites if there is an imminent threat to human health and the environment.” WEDNESDAY Chance of a little afternoon rain Athens 52/45 McArthur 51/44 South Shore Greenup 55/46 53/44 24 Logan 51/43 of the nation’s largest, most complex sites and returning them to productive use,” Wheeler said then. But two former EPA officials whose work dealt with Superfund oversight said the growing backlog of stalled Superfund projects under the Trump administration, and steady or ebbing numbers of cleanup construction projects completed, point to a different picture. “They’re misleading Congress and the public about the funds that are needed to really protect the public from exposure to the toxic chemicals,” said Elizabeth Southerland, who worked for 30 years at EPA, including as director of science and technology in the water office, before retiring in 2017. ‘’It’s detrimental.” This is a “regulatory failure,” said Judith Enck, who served as the EPA’s regional northeastern U.S. administrator MONDAY 42° 30° Rain and drizzle in the Low clouds followed morning by some sun 2 AccuWeather.com Cold Index™ (in inches) SATURDAY 50° 30° Statistics through 3 p.m. Thu. 53°/32° 42°/26° 72° in 2000 -5° in 1899 said. The unfunded projects are in 17 states and Puerto Rico. They range from abandoned mines that discharged heavy metals and arsenic in the West to an old wood pulp site in Mississippi and a defunct dry cleaner that released toxic solvents in North Carolina. Congress created the Superfund program in 1980 after the Love Canal episode and other notorious pollution cases. Its intent is to hold polluters responsible for cleanup costs or provide taxpayer money when no responsible party can be identified. Trump “is focused on putting Americans first,” EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler told a Senate environment committee early 2019. “There may be no better example than our success in the Superfund program.” “We are in the process of cleaning up some EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM ALMANAC High/low Normal high/low Record high Record low Matthew Brown | AP Water contaminated with arsenic, lead and zinc flows from a pipe out of the Lee Mountain mine and into a holding pond near Rimini, Mont.

It has been more than a week since we were celebrating, opening gifts, and eating a huge Christmas dinner. What is left of the Christmas celebration? A trash bag full of used wrapping paper and empty boxes? The Christmas tree and all the decorations have been taken down and stored in the attic for another year. Christmas is over and our lives have returned to normal. It is back to work for the adults and back to school for the children. Yes, Christmas is over — at least for another year. Ann Wait! Is it really over? Is that all there is Moody to Christmas? Is it just a time for parties, Contributing giving gifts to friends and family, and a columnist brief period of “Peace on earth, good will toward men?” Surely there is more to it than that. Our Bible reading today is from John 1: 1-18 and reveals the true meaning of Christmas. The Bible says that, “The Word became flesh and came to live among us.” The “Word” that the Bible is talking about is Jesus. He came, full of unfailing love, and we have seen His glory. We have seen the glory of God’s only begotten Son, born in a manger so many years ago. That Son grew up to save us from our bad behavior, so we could live with Him forever. What did you get for Christmas? No doubt you received some toys and clothes, but the most important gift any of us received was Jesus who came to earth as a gift from God. To those who receive Him and believe in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God. Did you even realize that you and I are children of God? Jesus came to the world, but many did not recognize Him then or now, as well. For those who do not know the Savior, Christmas is over. But for those of us who received the gift from the Father, Christmas goes on all year long. Let’s pray to God. Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your love and for the gift of Your Son because it is through that gift that we also become Your children. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

But, that is before God, the mirror-effect of God’s Word remains. The Word remains a discerner of our thoughts. The Word still reveals the intents of our heart. We cannot nullify in any way or in any terms the reflections of the Word about ourselves. What we can be encouraged to do is to consider what the imagery of God’s Word shows by reading it, and then by making necessary spiritual adjustments at opportune moments. For example, I could feel so mean-hearted about the person attempting to pass that I decide to ease over into the passing lane to keep them from it. But, if I have been faithful to read God’s Word, I might consider the spiritual, Bible-based likes of “love your neighbor” and make the necessary adjustment of deciding to stay in my lane and yield to their effort. That would save me a lot of grief in due course, perhaps. In the many events of our lives, you and I would do well to consider the question, “What does the mirror show you?” In the mean time, the only problem with a good mirror is that it does not make my face any more handsome. Guess I am stuck with that regardless how much I read the Bible. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES CROSS WORDS Make much of Christ It was like being caught in a whirlwind. Shaken to the core. Reminded of what matters most. Stepping upon stones. On an unknown sea. And clinging to Christ through it all. That’s what 2019 felt like to me. Can you relate? Another year has come and gone. Like a tornado rustling through a village. And you’re trying to understand what’s left of it. Rummaging through debris. Picking up the pieces. Much has taken place. Some good stuff. Some bad stuff. Some stuff you’re still unsure about. As you walk into 2020 with a strange mixture of excitement Isaiah and fear. Pauley A new year is a reminder of redemption. A Contributing fresh start. A clean slate. An opportunity to columnist become better. And nothing reveals this attitude more than our New Year’s resolutions. Now, there’s nothing wrong with resolutions. I even have some myself. I plan to read through the Bible chronologically. Get a gym membership. Be less prone to procrastination. Stuff like that. But there’s one thing I really desire for 2020. And calling it a resolution doesn’t suffice. I want to make much of Christ. And what an unnatural thing that is. Scroll through a list of common resolutions and you’ll soon discover what I’m talking about. It’s easy to create New Year’s resolutions with one person in mind: me, myself, and I. We long to improve our health. Better our relationships. Boost our reputations. Become better guys and gals. And that’s cool and all. But what about Christ? Where does He fit? It’s not that He merely helps us become better people. It’s not that He resides in a genie bottle, waiting for us to ask Him for the strength to resist a chocolate bar and run a marathon. That’s not to say Christ doesn’t help us. He most definitely does according to His will. But rather than using Christ as a means to an end, I want to make much of Him. I’m reminded of the apostle Paul. In his letter to the church in Philippi, Paul pleads with his readers to understand the centrality of Christ. Writing to a people tempted by other voices, the apostle Paul reminds the church of his credentials. But through it all, he longs for them to see how his gains are dung compared to Christ. “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ” (Phil. 3:7-8 ESV). The apostle Paul made much of Christ. He gave his life to Christ. Struggling through persecution, imprisonment, and difficulty. Not to master his agenda. Not to receive an earthly reward. But to gain Christ—his true treasure. I don’t know about you, but I want to follow in Paul’s footsteps. I want to make much of Christ. I want to treasure Christ above all else. After all, Christ himself says, “‘For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also’” (Matt. 6:21 ESV). As we head into 2020, may we lay our plans before the throne of God, surrendering our lives to the King. May we seek to make much of Christ in a world striving to make much of itself, viewing Christ as everything rather than some means to an end. As we work towards those resolutions, may we do so for the glory of God alone. To steward what God has so graciously given us. To fulfill our call to make disciples. To make much of Christ. Not only in 2020, but each and every day. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

Superstitions about luck Some of the Jews, for abound, and more than a few example, had a proclivity for people find themselves drawn appealing to angels. This had into the observations of these the appeal of having some scripvarious beliefs. Whether it is tural backing, in and so far as eating cabbage on New Year’s the word of God speaks to the Day in order to gain wealth, existence of angels. But angels, refusing to cross paths with a black cat, carrying around some no matter how real or powerful, are not God and God’s people sort of luck talisman, blowing should not be worshipping or out birthday candles, knocking on wood or hanging horseshoes praying to angels. Thus the message of Christ to His church around your property, the culture at large urges us to observe rebukes such thinking telling us these small rituals in an effort to instead, “Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and bring better fortune. To be blunt, Christians should worship of angels,… (Colossians 2:18a; ESV; cf. Hebrews 1; Revrefuse to participate. elation 19:10, 22:9)” Paul reminded Timothy, as One thing to ask ourselves, a preacher and as a Christian, when we are tempted to give “charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor in to some such superstition is this: who or what are we appealto devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which ing to? For instance, when one is told to eat cabbage on New promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God Year’s Day in order to bring luck for the coming year, the sensible that is by faith (1 Timothy question is, who is going to give 1:3-4; ESV).” The myths and us this luck? Are we asking it of speculations Paul mentions were various superstitions of the the mindless universe? Are we appealing to God, and if so, why day believed by both Jews and Gentiles which had a potential does God care what you eat of creeping into the lives and on New Year’s Day? In truth, doctrines of Christians. the cabbage is used as a tool In both Old and New Testain a practice that is technically ments, God warns His people known as sympathetic magic: against witchcraft, spiritualism, the idea that a thing can be and related practices, each of influenced through the use of which share a common theme: an object that represents that thing – in this case the cabbage is the stand-in for money. Such practices are completely at odds with Christianity. If you have a genuine need, the Bible tells us to pray, not to seek out some other superstitious avenue in an effort to influence life events. Likewise, when we try to avert “bad luck,” a reasonable question to ask is, who or what are we afraid of? For instance, if you think that a black cat crossing your path is going to cause you to have such bad luck, where does this luck come from? Evil spirits? The Devil? The machinations of the universe? The history of superstitions surrounding black cats is long and varied, but boils down to being afraid of either demons or fairies, take your pick. But, putting aside the scientific reality that black in cats is a matter of genetics, not something supernatural, why should a Christian be afraid? The Bible teaches that our God is more powerful and is quite capable of protecting us. “Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4; ESV). If you are a Christian, you have God. And if you have God, you don’t need luck. You don’t have to be afraid of bad luck. You don’t have to hope for good luck. You just need to trust God and pray.

Toolkit helps churches prep responses if attacked COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio officials have developed a free, online toolkit to help houses of worship discuss and prepare for how they would respond if they were attacked. The toolkit provides guidance for tabletop preparedness exercises that can be used for congregations of various sizes, from large synagogues to small, rural churches, said Sima Merick, director of the Ohio Emergency Management Agency. “Ohioans should feel comfortable and safe when they gather to worship,” Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said in the toolkit announcement from the EMA. “As attacks on houses of worship continue to escalate, it is incumbent on our religious institutions to be prepared.” The announcement this week came days after a man fatally shot two people at a Texas church and was killed by a member of its volunteer security team. Ohio officials also offer exercise-planning toolkits to help shopping malls and college campuses prepare for responding to an active shooter. �Daily Sentinel Friday, January 3, 2020 5 OH-70166869 Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

The Bobcats (6-6) and the Wolfpack (7-5) will be playing their first-ever head-to-head matchup. It’s the fifth straight bowl appearance for the Bobcats and 11th overall in the past 14 seasons under head coach Frank Solich. Ohio has fond memories of its only other trip to the Potato Bowl when it beat Utah State 24-23 in 2011 for the first bowl victory in program history. Nevada has never won bowl games in consecutive years, but is looking to follow up on last year’s 16-13 overtime win over Arkansas State in the Arizona Bowl. Doing so would mean winning on Boise’s blue turf, where the Wolf Pack haven’t won since 1997 — including two previous losses in this bowl game. Ohio is trying to to become the third program in MAC history to win bowl games in three consecutive seasons, joining Toledo (1969-71) and Miami (1973-75). Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Pats don’t get usual R&R heading into playoffs By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press Tom Brady and the defending champion New England Patriots aren’t getting their usual bye week to rest, relax and recharge. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens earned the AFC’s top seed for the first time since the current playoff format was adopted in 1990. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs earned the No. 2 seed, a holiday gift from the Patriots, whose stunning 27-24 loss to Miami at home last weekend sent New England into the wild-card round for the first time in a decade. “Just too many bad mistakes,” Brady lamented. And too many bad breaks for the Patriots, a Elise Amendola | AP New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady leaves the field after being defeated 27-24 by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. The loss dropped the Patriots into the wild-card game for the first time in a decade. team that features a terrific defense but a sputtering offense behind an aging Brady, who has averaged just 197 yards on 59 percent passing in his last four games and who posted his lowest passer rating since 2006. The Brady-led Patriots have never reached the Super Bowl while playing in the wild-card round. “We talk about it each year, each team has their own journey and this is our journey,” Patriots safety Devin McCourty said. The Patriots host the Tennessee Titans on Saturday and the Buffalo Bills visit the Houston Texans to kick off wildcard weekend. 1. BALTIMORE RAVENS (14-2). AP Pro32 Ranking: No. 1. Last Lombardi: Super Bowl 47, 34-31 over San Francisco on Feb. 1, 2013. Last year: No. 4 seed, lost wild-card game at home to Los Angeles Chargers 23-17. Second consecutive trip to AFC playoffs. YEA: Since their last loss, way back in late September, the Ravens have been virtually unstoppable on offense and exceedingly stingy on defense. That combination has produced 12 straight victories, and during that span no team came close to putting the breaks on See PLAYOFFS | 7 Replay dominated sports in 2019, and expect more this year OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — From the moment two officials failed to throw a flag for obvious pass interference on a play that helped decide the NFC championship — stunning the players, coaches and millions of fans — officiating and replay became a constant theme in 2019. No matter the sport, fans and competitors were frustrated by inconsistent standards and rules that prevent some obvious mistakes from being changed. But those same fans and competitors also complain about long delays to determine something as mundane as whose fingernail last touched a basketball before it went out of bounds, even in a regular-season blowout. “I don’t want any instant replay in my life personally, but if we are going to have it, let’s use it properly,” Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden said after getting an apology for a blown call that led to a loss. “I don’t think it’s that hard.” But no one agrees on the proper way to implement video review. Some argue the technology takes away the human element and is too intrusive, and others counter that all wrong calls should be overturned. Some even want to let technology call balls and strikes in baseball. From that no-call at the Superdome that helped send the Rams to the Super Bowl instead of the Saints, to the Final Four where Virginia was helped to a title by some calls that couldn’t be reviewed to another that was, to the Kentucky Derby where for the first time ever the apparent winner was disqualified for interference on video review, to controversy from the Video Assistant Review system at the Women’s World Cup and across Europe’s biggest soccer leagues, replay has confounded nearly everyone. The only constant seems to be more of it. “I don’t think you can go backward anymore,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said when his league expanded the use of replay following a series of mistakes in the playoffs that changed the outcome of some games. “I think that ship has sailed. Frankly, we want to get it right.” Figuring out how to do that is the challenge. There was nearly unanimous agreement that there should have been pass interference called against the Rams’ Nickell Robey-Coleman on New Orleans’ Tommylee Lewis in the NFC title game. The no-call gave Los Angeles enough time to drive for a game-tying field goal before See REPLAY | 8 For the first time since 1997, the San Francisco 49ers are the top seed in the NFC playoffs, a stunning turnaround for a team that owned the second overall pick in the NFL draft just nine months ago. After four straight losing campaigns, including only 10 wins in coach Kyle Shanahan’s first two seasons, the 49ers went from 4-12 to 13-3 this season. They emerged as the top team in the NFC thanks a big-play offense and a vastly improved defense sparked by Nick Bosa, whom they chose with that No. 2 draft pick. They earned the top seed with a thrilling finale at Seattle when rookie linebacker Dre Greenlaw made a stop inches from the goal line, earning his team a week off and up to two home games in the 49ers’ quest to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in seven years. “It feels good to get where we’re at,” Shanahan said. “Our goal was to get in the playoffs, it feels much better with being the one seed. By now everyone knows there is only one team that is happy at the end of year.” The Green Bay Packers secured the other firstround bye. The Seahawks visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and the Minnesota Vikings visit the New Orleans Saints in the other NFC wild-card game. 1. SAN FRANCISCO 49ers (13-3). AP Pro32 Ranking: No. 3.

Not only did Jackson set an NFL single-season record for yards rushing by a QB, but he also threw 36 TD passes. Baltimore is 19-3 with Jackson as a starter during the regular season, including 13-2 this year. NAY: Baltimore prefers any opponent other than the Chiefs, who have beaten Jackson and the Ravens twice in the past two seasons. K.C. prevailed in OT last year when Mahomes threw for 377 yards, and 28-20 on Sept. 22. Baltimore should also be wary of Buffalo, which limited Jackson to 40 yards rushing and 145 yards through the air in a 24-17 Ravens triumph on Dec. 8. Any defense facing the Ravens can make things tough for Jackson by taking away the edges and covering the tight ends, easier said than done. SAY: “It’s not easy to win in this league. It’s a tough league, and we just have a lot of guys who believe in each other, care about each other and understand the value of hard work.” — Ravens RB Mark Ingram. 2. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (12-4). AP Pro32 Ranking: No. 4. Last Lombardi: Super Bowl 4, 23-7 over Minnesota on Jan. 11, 1970. Last year: No. 1 seed, beat Indianapolis Colts 31-13 at home in divisional round, lost to New England 37-31 (OT) in AFC championship at home. Fifth consecutive trip to AFC playoffs. YEA: The Chiefs’ biggest strength the past couple of years has been their offense, led by reigning league MVP Mahomes and with a group of high-powered playmakers including TE Travis Kelce, WRs Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins and RB Damien Williams. But their emerging defense may be even more crucial to postseason success. It held back-to-back opponents without a TD before holding the Chargers in check in KC’s regular-season finale. NAY: The Chiefs’ biggest weakness is their secondary, where the loss of safety Juan Thornhill to a season-ending ACL tear against the Chargers leaves a big void in the back end. SAY: “We’ve got a lot of confidence, man. Defense is balling and our offense is getting things rolling. We’re the hottest team. We have the most swag in the AFC.” — Hill. 3. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (12-4). AP Pro32 Ranking: No. 7. Last Lombardi: Super Bowl 53, 13-3 over Los Angeles Rams on Feb. 3, 2019. Last year: No. 2 seed, beat Los Angeles Chargers 41-28 at home in divisional round, beat Kansas City Chiefs 37-31 (OT) on road in AFC championship, beat Rams at Super Bowl 53 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Eleventh consecutive trip to AFC playoffs. YEA: One of the surprises of the 2019 season was how inconsistent the Patriots were on offense as Brady relied heavily on veteran Julian Edelman while trying to work with a group of young receivers. But New England still has a shot to make it back to its fourth consecutive Super Bowl thanks to a defense that allowed a league-low 14.1 points per game. CB Stephon Gilmore leads a defense that had 38 takeaways and makes New England a very tough out. NAY: Brady topped 4,000 yards passing for the 11th time, but the sixtime champion showed signs of slowing down at age 42. Brady and the rest of the offense declined over the last half of the season when the schedule got tougher and the injury-riddled O-line struggled to find chemistry. The Patriots scored on just half of their red zone opportunities, which was 26th in the NFL, and Brady’s 60.8% completion rate was his lowest since 2013. Unlike in years past, New England isn’t equipped for a shootout in the playoffs. SAY: “No one feels sorry for the Patriots not getting a first-round bye in the playoffs. — safety Devin McCourty. 4. HOUSTON TEXANS (10-6). AP Pro32 Ranking: No. 10. No Lombardis. Last year: No. 3 seed, lost to Indianapolis Colts 21-7 at home in wild card. Second consecutive trip to AFC playoffs. YEA: The Texans are only as good as QB Deshaun Watson. He’s shown a penchant for coming up huge in big games but wasn’t great in his playoff debut last year. The Texans rested him last week and he should be fresh to take on the Bills. Watson threw 26 TD passes and Houston’s offense can be dangerous if he can figure out a way to rediscover the consistency he had early in the season when he had three 300-yard passing performances in five games. NAY: Houston’s secondary has struggled all season and the Texans rank 29th in the NFL by allowing 267.2 yards passing a game. The Texans added several players during the season to improve the group, but the defense continues to allow QBs to pile up big numbers. Houston has failed to develop a consistent pass rush, which has added to the woes in the secondary. However, this could improve in the postseason with the anticipated return of star J.J. Watt from a torn chest muscle. SAY: “To be here with this staff and a lot of these players, to be here for six years and to win four division titles, I think that’s pretty good. So, I think ultimately when you get in the playoffs we all understand what the ultimate goal is.” — coach Bill O’Brien. 5. BUFFALO BILLS (10-6). AP Pro32 Ranking: No. 9. No Lombardis. Last year: 6-10. First trip to AFC playoffs since 2017. YEA: The Bills are at their best when secondyear QB Josh Allen doesn’t force throws. Allen is 10-1 overall when attempting 29 or fewer passes and 8-2 when not committing a turnover in a game he starts and finishes. The Bills’ offense relies on a balanced attack, and playing complementary football with a defense that’s held opponents to under 300 yards eight times this season. NAY: Allen complained of experiencing early jitters in several high-profile games in December, most notably a 17-10 primetime playoff-clinching win at Pittsburgh on Dec. 15, followed by a 24-17 loss at New England. Although Allen has five wins this season with the Bills tied or trailing in the fourth quarter, he’s also struggled in crunch time. Buffalo’s losses to the Ravens and Patriots were decided in the final two minutes, with Allen misfiring passes on fourth down in the red zone.

In the Packers’ early and the offense three losses this season, playing better late. The Jones averaged fewer returns of edge rusher Dee Ford and S Jaquiski than 42 scrimmage yards.

The assist from the NFL’s top WR Michael Thomas. Brees has passed for 1,188 yards and 15 TDs in the past four games, evidence of his strong comeback from a thumb surgery that sidelined him five games. Thomas racked up a single-season record 149 catches for 1,725 yards and nine TDs. The Saints’ eight turnovers are an NFL record low for a season. New Orleans had 51 sacks, third most in the NFL and ranked fourth against the run. NAY: While the Saints don’t have many weaknesses, they can be their own worst enemy. Their 120 penalties for 1,036 yards ranked sixth worst in the NFL in both categories and their minus323 net penalty yards ranked second worst. New Orleans’ secondary has been beset with late-season injuries. Both starting safeties and a starting cornerback did not play in Week 17. SAY: “Down the stretch here I think we’ve been an ascending team. We’ve been playing a little bit better each and every week, despite the fact that we have had some guys go down.” — Brees 4.

YEA: The Eagles are hungry and Carson Wentz is determined to do what Nick Foles did in his absence two years ago — win a Super Bowl. If Wentz continues playing at the MVP level he displayed in December, the Eagles are dangerous. They have a strong rushing attack that can control the clock and an experienced defense that shuts down the run and forces teams to be one-dimensional. NAY: Seattle beat the Eagles in Philadelphia 17-9 on Nov. 24. Russell Wilson is 4-0 against Philly. The Eagles have been riddled by injuries and finished the regular season without seven starters on offense. Three of those players could return to face the Seahawks but it’s likely two will be game-time decisions. SAY: “In the last couple games, (Wentz) has really put this team on his back and said, ‘Hey, follow me.’ And I think that’s a sign of growth, a sign of maturity. I spent eight years in Green Bay with Brett Favre, and that’s what Brett did. Brett just put the team on his back when the chips were against us and just said, ‘Follow me.’ And that’s what Carson can do.” — Coach Doug Pederson. 5. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (11-5). AP Pro32 Ranking: No. 6. Last Lombardi: Super Bowl 48, 43-8 over Denver Broncos on Feb. 2, 2014. Last year: No. 5 seed, lost to Dallas Cowboys 24-22 in wild-card game on road. Second consecutive trip to NFC playoffs. YEA: Unlike years past, if the Seahawks are going to make a deep playoff run, it’s going to be because of QB Russell Wilson. He’s coming off the second-best season in terms of passing yards, completion percentage and a career-low five interceptions. Wilson’s never been asked to carry Seattle in the playoffs but if he can rediscover the success from when he was in the MVP conversation with Lamar Jackson, Seattle has enough other parts to make some noise. NAY: Injuries have stacked up for Seattle. The Seahawks lost their top three running backs, a starting edge rusher, tight end and center to season-ending injuries.

Top three teams in each division and two wild cards per conference advance to playoffs. Wednesday’s Games Dallas 4, Nashville 2 Thursday’s Games Columbus at Boston, 7 p.m. Replay find a way to get off of the headlines. There will be a holding call missed here and there. But it’s the game changers, the two or three impact plays where quality officiating is needed. We’re just not there.” Parry blames inexperienced officiating crews and the lack of a lower league training program like NFL Europe. He’s now open to more radical changes, including putting an extra official upstairs to communicate obvious misses to the field officials and allowing challenges on more types of calls. But that won’t solve all the missed calls, which have become more evident thanks to new camera angles and highdefinition TV. “I think slow-mo replay is the biggest problem with replay,” Gruden said. “When you’re looking at ‘is it a catch or isn’t it a catch?’ at that speed it’s hard to tell. It really is hard to tell. So I think if you threw that slowmo out, I think you’d get back to common sense.” There are issues in almost every sport, from the pass interference debate in the NFL to balls and strikes in baseball to the block or charge in the NBA to the standard for penalties in the NHL to fans reporting infractions seen on TV in golf. Perhaps the only sport that has implemented replay in a nearly controversy-free method is tennis. The only major complaints are whether replay should be added to clay court tournaments like the French Open, where linesmen use the old-fashioned method of checking marks. Tournament director Guy Forget said this past year that’s not about to change. “Historically, we’ve been judging the course of a ball and where it lands on the court by the mark it leaves on the clay,” he said. “Would you like to have a court with no chair umpire, no linesmen, just electronic line-calling? Is that something we really want in the future? I think we’d miss something.” That’s exactly the debate going on in baseball, where many replay advocates are pushing for balls and strikes to be called electronically. Those complaints reached a crescendo in Game 5 of the World Series, when a couple of apparent bad calls hurt the Washington Nationals. Baseball has experimented with “robots” calling balls and strikes and communicating to an umpire in the Arizona Fall League and in the independent Atlantic League. That could come to the big leagues soon. Umpires agreed to cooperate with Major League Baseball in the development and testing of an automated ball-strike system as part of a five-year labor contract announced in December, two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because those details of the deal, which is subject to ratification by both sides, had not been announced. “It would change the game for the good. It would continue the effort to eliminate human deficiency,” Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt wrote in a story for The Associated Press in October. “We have replay everywhere else in the game. Like it or not, replay gets the call right.” In soccer, the increased use of video assistant refereeing in 2019 collided with wider changes. Confusion was fueled as referees had to get used to a new way to interpret handballs and the movement of goalkeepers on their line when facing penalty kicks. The arrival of VAR in the Premier League sowed fresh confusion. Fans and players alike had gotten used to referees going over to assess replays for themselves on field-side screens in other competitions. In England, referees have been relying heavily on the VAR system feeding their verdicts through the radio. From page 6 eventually winning in overtime to go to the Super Bowl. There has been no such unanimity when it comes to the solution. The NFL acceded to the wishes of the coaches led by New Orleans’ Sean Payton to allow challenges of pass interference calls, but that has only added more ambiguity, with no consistent standard of what warrants an overturn. Throw in weekly disputes on what constitutes roughing the passer, premature whistles that negate touchdowns, botched calls that aren’t reviewed because a team is out of challenges, and the complaints have only grown louder. “It seems like week in and week out, there are three or four games that have impact calls that continue to make the headlines,” said former NFL referee and ESPN officiating analyst John Parry. “They have to (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Fans have also grumbled about a new level of scrutiny, with VARs using forensic geometry to rule if a player is offside. At times, an attacker has been ruled offside because of the position of his armpit in relation to a defender. The NBA also added a challenge system this season, but that didn’t help correct one glaring mistake when Houston’s James Harden had what appeared to be a clear dunk wrongly disallowed in a double-overtime loss to San Antonio. The Rockets protested but the result held even though the officials in question were suspended. Complaints about officiating are as old as sports and won’t change no matter what kind of technology is used. “At the end of the day, there’s no perfect system,” Parry said. “It is sports. It is humans making calls. We’re just trying to interject technology into the human element to make it a little better.” (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Now Hiring Leaders Are you an enthusiastic go-getter?
