Wednesday at the Mason County Board of Education ofﬁce at 6 p.m. The meeting is the ﬁrst in a series of the Progressive Farmer Dinner Meetings sponsored by WVUES that is offered on an annual basis during the winter months throughout the state. The meeting is free and open to the public regardless of residency. Dr. Grifﬁth has a doctorate from the University of Tennessee and is a professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Tennessee. He devotes his Extension program to assisting livestock producers in making informed decisions regarding production and marketing alternatives. He also works to assist beef producers in adding value to their cattle through pre-conditioning programs, in which cattle are source and age veriﬁed and marketed in uniform truckload lots for higher prices. Dr. Grifﬁth is a ﬁrm believer in price risk management for livestock and feed and has obtained grant funding to support educational pro- grams in this area. He does weekly cattle market updates on his website to keep producers up to date on marketing changes. His monthly articles on the cattle market at http://utbfc.utk. edu/Articles-EconomicsAndrew%20Grifﬁth. html#archive are widely used across the state of Tennessee and this region. Local WVU Extension Agent Lorrie Wright says, “With the absence of an agriculture agent since 2015 I am excited to be able to promote an educational opportunity like this in Mason County.” The university covers expenses for the speakers, while agents like Wright work with local sponsors to provide the meals. At this year’s meeting series, as in the past, participating farmers are provided with a small dinner meal thanks to Farm Credit, which provided funds to make the meals and refreshments possible. Pre-registration is requested by Monday.

His election as the nation’s ﬁrst black president was a major accomplishment for him and for the nation. Time will never erase that achievement. But as time passes, this may be just about his only lasting political accomplishment; his legislative, regulatory and policy initiatives are disappearing rapidly.

Today’s economy is growing more rapidly, the labor participation rate is up, wages are beginning to rise, and food stamp usage is down.

Overall, with the exception of a shrinking Obamacare and the CFPB, no signiﬁcant initiative of the Obama administration remains in place. The near doubling of the federal debt during his eight-year presidency — from $10 trillion to $19 trillion — seems like a very high price to pay for such ephemeral results. The Obama presidency is vanishing before our eyes. In only 12 short months, the legacy of Obama’s presidency is best captured by the motto e\�W�m[bb#ademd�Z_iWij[h�h[ijehWj_ed�YecfWdo0� “like it never even happened.” Jeff Bergner served in the legislative and executive branches of the federal government. He lives in Norfolk, Va., and wrote this for the Virginian-Pilot. THEIR VIEW Coping with the flu siege If this column is of shorter length than usually found in this space, it’s because the topic is one with which everyone can agree. Getting the ﬂu stinks. Having been struck with ﬂu-like conditions for more than a week at this writing, the negative byproducts are still holding sway. Fatigue, inability to concentrate and all of that fun kind of stuff tend to dominate the creative process and put it back into a winter slumber. In other words, wake me when it’s over — whenever that is. Yet the demands of facing a weekly deadline, not to mention the daily tasks of helping keep house, take out the trash and bring in the newspaper (thank goodness for the orange wrapper sticking out of the snow), make that desire pretty impossible, no matter how bad you feel. Somehow, and in keeping with prescribed methods of ﬁghting the bug, you arise in the morning after having self-medicated the night before on Coricidin, NyQuil and other weapons in the anti-ﬂu armory. You start the day, perform what chores there are and retreat to a comfy chair, all in the hopes this will be the ﬁnal day of the bug’s unsolicited occupation of your body. There are numerous nis shaken, not and practical methstirred? ods of avoiding ﬂu, What’s that? but not so many Don’t watch them? when it comes to Okay, but daydealing with it time TV can be when it gets here. pretty horrifying Coping with the to behold, as a few aforementioned Kevin viewings of Jerry lack of energy, Kelly achiness and dam- Contributing Springer and the like have proven. ming up rampant columnist But that’s a subject sinuses become for another day. the primary goal, But if you happen to robbing you of any desire have the ﬂu and you’re to do any of the things you normally enjoy.

Not to mention a reminder that Gallia County EMS has only a single squad available between midnight and 8 a.m. But Portsmouth Ambulance has our appreciation for answering 9-11’s call for assistance. And how much longer can we expect the ﬂu to last? An Associated Press report of last weekend voiced hope that the current strain might have peaked, which sounds okay until you realize it’s not over and given the unpredictable nature of the beast, it could linger as long as the winter. So the best advice if you’ve got the ﬂu, and don’t want to give it to anyone else, is to cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, wash your hands after having contact with same, employ Lysol on things and surfaces that are frequently touched (phones, remotes, glasses, etc.) and ride it out. More importantly, if you don’t have ﬂu, protect yourself as best you can by using the same methods, getting plenty of rest and ensuring you system doesn’t fall prey to the bug. And get that ﬂu shot.

Today’s Highlights in History: On Jan. 21, 1968, the North Vietnamese Army launched a fullscale assault against the U.S. combat base in Khe Sanh, South Vietnam, in a siege lasting 11 weeks; although the Americans were able to hold back the communists, they ended up dismantling and abandoning the base.

Seeking shelter improvements By Beth Sergent bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Issues at the Mason County Animal Shelter were once again front and center for the Mason County Commission this week, but now there seems to be a consensus between commissioners and animal advocates that things are improving. “We know we’ve had some problems up there,” Commissioner Rick Handley said to those gathered on Thursday for the commission’s regular meeting. “We know that History we’ve corrected some of the situation up there, so we’ve got a plan going forward and part of the plan, I hope, involves you all (the volunteers). We have made it known to people we are volunteer friendly…from here on out. I was hoping we were before but evidently sometimes we weren’t.” Handley was referring to complaints from members of the community who told commissioners they attempted to volunteer at the shelter but were reportedly turned away. “I think it will be positive from here on out,” Handley said. Handley also addressed the physical shape of the building, saying cleaning and painting needed done. He explained the commission had made contact with the Lakin Correctional Facility to arrange for prisoners to was later sentenced to 15 years to life in prison; he committed suicide in 2002.) In 1998, Pope John Paul II began a historic pilgrimage to Cuba. Actor Jack Lord of “Hawaii Five-O” fame died in Honolulu at age 77. “Let’s look forward in two or three weeks to an open house.

There was a discussion between Commissioner Sam Nibert and volunteers about proper cleaning being a way to stop the spread of disease, especially among cats. “We’re looking at this as a new beginning for our animal shelter,” Handley said. “So we learn from our mistakes and are looking forward to moving on.” Earlier this month, commissioners accepted the resignations of the former full time dog warden and shelter ofﬁce manager for other employment opportunities.

We are in the process of discussing and working on the interior design among our board.” Speciﬁcally, the board is looking for organizations that have experience in working with historical buildings in order to meet speciﬁcations to potentially be put on the National Historic Registry. The board will also need to determine the type of heating source it would like to utilize in — Jerry Davis the structure and where the equipment will be located. “With all that, we need to determine where we will put the restroom in the building and it’s all a major undertaking,” said Davis. “It’s not hard. It’s just time consuming to make those decisions… We’re very concerned to keep the historical look. We want the look of (the original) freight station and we want an open concept so people can look up and see the inside structure of the station.” The museum is tracking down original Nelsonville bricks which were used to pave the walkways around the museum and have collected somewhere in the number of 850 pieces. “Once the interior is power washed and all, then there’s the possibility that we might be able to deal with the Star brick ﬂoor because the sand base it was originally on is still there,” said Davis. When the weather warms, the museum will place more railroad and ties and place a small steam locomotive on the track. “It is being given to us from within Mason County,” said Davis.

According to him, the station was an old freight house and built in 1901 by Hocking Valley, a rail company of the time. The building at the time was roughly 115 years old and Love worked once as a telegrapher of the building. “We feel great,”said Love last year. “I am well satisﬁed with the progress that we are making. It exceeded my expectations for the ﬁrst year.” Davis and Love have thanked the community for its continuing support as the board continues chugging along in its efforts.

An important action we can take to achieve this is helping our children maintain a healthy weight. According to trends studied by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, infants and children that are at a healthy weight grow to be a healthy weight in adulthood. Being at a healthy weight in childhood and adulthood reduces the risk of having asthma, sleep apnea, bone and joint problems, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and kidney failure.

Even try to get the neighborhood parents brought to the commissioners’ attention that back in 2015 a $225 donation was reportedly made to the Town and Country Vet Clinic for the shelter to use to provide vaccinations and medical care for animals. Rifﬂe said to her knowledge the $225 had never been used. She mentioned Mike Grubb, a local resident, also did a recent fundraiser and was wishing to put that money at Town and Country Vet Clinic for similar use. Rifﬂe wanted commissioners to be aware the funds were there and available and could be used for ﬂea prevention as well. All volunteers stressed the animals should be vaccinated and treated on the way into the shelter, not on the way out, with one person attending the meeting saying that had happened to her recently when she adopted two cats from the shelter. She said the cats were vaccinated on the way out of the shelter and each died days later. County Administrator John Gerlach also asked if the volunteers had any luck with adopting out feral cats, that he had heard other counties had deemed them “unadoptable.” Rifﬂe said there were rescues that worked with feral cats and they could be adopted. Gerlach also offered to get the volunteers in touch with the Operation Fancy Free group out of Jackson County which wanted to established a spay/neuter release program in Mason County to deal with the stray cat population. “You’ve got a committed group here,” Rifﬂe said. “We want to help.” Nibert suggested getting the public educated on spaying and neutering pets and perhaps using money gained by fundraisers to host types of low-cost clinics. Volunteers seemed receptive to doing fundraisers and involving different organizations to beneﬁt the local animal population. “Let’s get these (new) people in there (at the shelter), give them a couple of weeks and we’re going to plan an open house,” Doolittle said. “It’s your shelter as much as anybody’s…it’s a public shelter. Go up and see Judy (Oliver), she’s there 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., she’ll welcome any volunteers. I hope you see a different atmosphere.” Members of the public gathered at the meeting expressed they had already seen an improvement. Nibert also announced the shelter had received a grant to get cameras on the property. Doolitle added Oliver was also taking inventory of supplies to know what was instead of prison. The monitoring is done by the probation department. The goals of the drug court include reducing substance use and related criminal activity, holding drug dependent offenders accountable for their actions and decisions, providing resources and support to assist the drug dependent offenders in the acquisition of skills necessary for the maintenance of sobriety and rewarding positive life changes while maintaining accountability for negative conduct. Program participants enter an intensive four phase treatment program scheduled to last a minimum of one year. Participants attend counseling groups, 12-step meetings, individual counsel- ing, and case management sessions. They also have regularly scheduled court appearances and provide random urine samples.

By Bryan Walters ,A+6>/<=Ľ+377/.3+73.A/=>L-97 Bryan Walters|OVP Sports ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Good start. Less than desirable ﬁnish. The Meigs boys basketball team scored the ﬁrst 11 points of regulation in just under three minutes of play, then managed only 10 points over the rest of the ﬁrst half on Friday night during a 66-41 setback to visiting Athens in a TriValley Conference Ohio Division contest at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The host Marauders (2-10, 1-5 TVC Ohio) — making their ﬁrst home appearance since Dec. 22, 2017 — certainly seemed happy to be back in the friendly conﬁnes after storming out to an 11-0 cushion just before the ﬁveminute mark of the opening canto. The Bulldogs (4-9, 4-3), however, received eight points from Elijah Williams as part of 13-6 run to close out the ﬁrst period, allowing the Maroon and Gold to secure a 17-13 edge through eight minutes of play. Logan Maxﬁeld hit consecutive trifectas 90 seconds into the second frame to give AHS a permanent lead at 19-17, and those long- range bombs also sparked a 15-0 charge that allowed the Green and Gold to turn a two-possession deﬁcit into a commanding double-digit lead at 28-17. Weston Baer ended a near-ﬁve-minute-long scoreless drought with a basket to make it 28-19, but the guests closed out the ﬁnal 2:30 with a small 5-2 run that resulted in a 33-21 advantage entering the break. The Marauders were never closer the rest of the way as Athens started the third period with an 11-2 See MEIGS | 2B The NFL’s final 4 all overcame star player injuries By Arnie Stapleton �==9-3+>/.� </== The list of players sitting out this weekend’s conference championships is almost as impressive as the starting lineups: Julian Edelman. Carson Wentz. Dalvin Cook. Dont’a Hightower. Allen Robinson. Sam Bradford. Following the NFL’s season of carnage that claimed the likes of, among others, Aaron Rodgers, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, J.J. Watt, DeShaun Watson, Odell Beckham Jr. and Joe Thomas, this year’s ﬁnal four all overcame not only the odds — “Minneapolis Miracle , anyone?” — but devastating injuries to key starters. “We have a tough and resilient team,” Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long said of the NFC’s top seed , which is missing its second-year QB in Wentz, an MVP hopeful when he blew out a knee in December. Even before Wentz’s injury thrust backup Nick Foles into the starting job for the playoffs, the Eagles lost nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, playmaking middle linebacker Jordan Hicks, versatile return specialist Darren Sproles, and special teams captain Chris Maragos. Yet, here they are, 60 minutes from Minneapolis and Super Bowl 52. “I think that starts at the top with Doug, because he sets the tone for being resilient and even keeled,” Long said of his coach, Doug Pederson. “At the end of the day, we have a tough group of guys.” So do the Minnesota Vikings, who are trying to reach their ﬁrst Super Bowl in more than four See NFL | 2B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Monday, Jan. 22 Girls Basketball Athens at Meigs, 7:30 Gallia Academy at Ironton, 7:30 Southern at Trimble, 7:30 South Gallia at Federal Hocking, 7:30 Wahama at Waterford, 7:30 Wrestling Eastern, South Gallia, Federal Hocking at Wellston, 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 23 Boys Basketball Eastern at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Rock Hill at Gallia Academy, 7:30 Trimble at Southern, 7:30 Belpre at Wahama, 7:30 Grace Christian at Hannan, 7:30 Meigs at Nelsonville-York, 7:30 River Valley at Wellston, 7:30 South Gallia at Federal Hocking, 7:30 Girls Basketball Grace Christian at Hannan, 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 24 Boys Basketball Southern at Wahama, 7:30 Eastern at Belpre, 7:30 Point Pleasant at Lincoln County, 7 p.m. Girls Basketball River Valley at South Gallia, 7:30 Wellston at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Wrestling Point Pleasant, University at East Fairmont, 6 p.m. Swimming River Valley at Shawnee State, 4 p.m. Photos by Alex Hawley|OVP Sports South Gallia senior Curtis Haner (5) hits a two-pointer to end the first half of the Rebels’ 62-61 victory over Southern on Friday night in Mercerville, Ohio. South Gallia holds off Tornadoes By Alex Hawley +2+A6/CĽ+377/.3+73.A/=>L-97 MERCERVILLE, Ohio — What a difference a month makes. After an 88-41 setback on Dec. 8 in Racine, the South Gallia boys basketball took its revenge on Friday night in Gallia County, defeating the Tornadoes by a 62-61 tally in Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division play. South Gallia (2-9, 1-6 TVC Hocking) never trailed in the ﬁrst half, ﬁghting through just one tie, at 2-2. SGHS led by as many as eight points in the opening quarter, but Southern (6-5, 4-3) ended the period with a 5-0 run, making the Rebel lead 14-11. The hosts scored the ﬁrst 11 points of the second quarter, however, making their advantage 25-11 with 5:05 left in the half. The Tornadoes were back to within 10 by the midway point of period, but SGHS closed the half with a 16-9 run and a 41-24 lead. In the opening three minutes of the second half, South Gallia outscored Southern by a 7-6 clip, giving the Rebels their largest lead of the night at 48-30. However, the Tornadoes ended the third quarter with a 16-to6 run, trimming their deﬁcit to 54-46 headed into the ﬁnale. The guests continued After missing just four ﬁeld goal attempts in the ﬁrst half, the Rebels ﬁnished the game shooting 25-of-44 (56.8 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 7-of-12 (58.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Southern was 22-of-66 (33.3 percent) from the ﬁeld, including just 2-of-18 (11.1 percent) from three-point range. From the free throw line, SGHS shot 5-of-12 (41.7 percent) and SHS shot 15-of-24 (62.5 percent). “We’ve only been shooting about 33 percent for the year,” Wolfe said. “I can’t describe our shooting in the ﬁrst half, because I haven’t seen that ever.

The Maroon and Gold connected on 16-of-48 shot attempts for 33 percent, including a 2-of-16 effort from behind the arc for 13 percent.

Keenum deftly took over for Bradford, and Jerick McKinnon and Latavius Murray became a productive backﬁeld tandem. “We’ve got a bunch of ﬁghters on this team,” Zimmer said. “They’ve been a resilient bunch all year long. I expect it to continue to be that way.” The Patriots are also a bunch of ﬁghters; they reached their seventh straight AFC title game despite losing Edelman, Brady’s top target, to a torn ACL in the preseason, and Hightower to a torn chest muscle in November. Play caller Josh McDaniels and Brady, who led New England to a ﬁfth Super Bowl title last year despite the absence of Rob Gronkowski, adjusted accordingly to Edelman’s absence with another terriﬁc year. Linebacker Kyle Van Noy stepped in for Hightower and ranked third on the team with 73 tackles and second with 5½ sacks despite missing three of the ﬁnal ﬁve games with a calf injury. Van Noy’s sack total was just a half-sack shy of Hightower’s career high set in 2014. “The thing about K.V. is he’s very versatile,” said Patriots safety and defensive captain Devin McCourty. “So we’ve used him a bunch of different ways. … He’s been a big asset to our team.” The Jaguars are the healthiest of the remaining playoff teams. They have only one openingday starter on injured reserve: former Pro Bowl receiver Robinson, who tore his left ACL on Jacksonville’s opener. Four months removed from reconstructive surgery, Robinson is now traveling with the team, so he’ll be on the sideline Sunday at New England, serving as a mentor to a raw receiving corps. “Every person in this locker room put in a lot of work to get to this point, with me being one of them,” said Robinson, who was poised for another big year after dominating the league’s best secondary in training camp. His injury on Jacksonville’s third offensive snap created a huge void for the offense. Marqise Lee and Allen Hurns tried to pick up the slack, but they ended up on the sideline at one point with injuries, too, leaving rookies Keelan Cole and Dede Westbrook to assume bigger roles. Cole, an undrafted rookie from tiny Kentucky Wesleyan, had 42 catches for 748 yards and three scores in the regular season. He added a clutch 45-yard catch that set up a late TD in Jacksonville’s 45-42 stunner at Pittsburgh last week. “I wish I could just wake up tomorrow and feel like I did Sept. 9,” Robinson said, “but I understand it’s going to be a process. I know I’ll be back to that point and better.” Like so many other stars, Robinson will be in street clothes Sunday, cheering on his teammates in hopes of getting a sideline pass to the Super Bowl. assists for the Rebels, while Ellis had 15 points and a game-high nine boards.

LeBron, Curry to draft All-Star teams NEW YORK (AP) — Team LeBron against Team Stephen is the NBA’s new All-Star matchup. LeBron James and Stephen Curry will go head-to-head again, this time as captains who pick teams for the revamped NBA All-Star Game. James and Curry received the most votes from fans in their conferences Thursday night and will draft from a pool of the rest of the NBA’s best for the Feb. 18 game in Los Angeles. “Captain huh? Really Appreciate all the votes from the fans, media and players!” Curry wrote on Twitter . James will pick ﬁrst as the player who received the most fan votes. He will make his 14th All-Star Game start, one behind Kobe Bryant for the most in league history. He could start his team with Kevin Durant, who teamed with Curry to beat James and the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. Or maybe he could go with Kyrie Irving, a former All-Star Game MVP who asked to be traded away from Cleveland last summer and has led Boston to the best record in the East. Perhaps it will be Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, whom James came from behind to edge with 2.6 million votes. The Greek Freak had a little more than 2.5 million. For now, James is keeping his choice a secret. “I’m not telling you,” he said after the Cavs squeaked out a 104-103 win over Orlando. James also had a quick response when asked if Curry being the opposing captain added a layer to his rivalry with the point guard. “No,” he said. The format was changed from the traditional East vs. West matchup for the ﬁrst time after lackluster games the last two seasons, when players made little attempt to defend and the West nearly scored 200 points in both of its victories. Both James and Curry will make their ﬁrst four picks from the pool of starters, but they don’t have to stick to conference afﬁliation in choosing their rosters. “I’m going to try to build the best team I can,” James said. “I don’t play fantasy anything. And I don’t trade guys onto teams when I play 2K or play the video games, so this is different for me. But I know watching guys and loving their game and all that, if you had an opportunity to play with that guy, how special that would be.” The other starters from the Eastern Conference will be Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan and Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, the only ﬁrsttime All-Star among the starters. New Orleans also has two starters in Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. Houston guard James Harden, the NBA’s scoring leader, rounds out the starters, who were selected by a combination of fan, media and player voting. Fan balloting accounted for 50 percent of the formula, with the media panel and player vote each making up 25 percent. The seven reserves in each conference, voted upon by the head coaches in each conference, will be announced Tuesday, and the rosters selected by James and Curry will be unveiled next Thursday. The league does not plan to televise the draft. GLOUSTER, Ohio — One quarter can ruin your entire night. The Eastern boys basketball team saw its early lead vanish in the midst of Trimble’s 17-to-6 second quarter run, and the Tomcats cruised to a 69-55 TriValley Conference Hocking Division victory on Friday evening in Athens County.

AP SPORTS BRIEFS OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Steelers select Randy Fichtner as offensive coordinator Youth basketball tournaments in Rutland PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Steelers didn’t look very far for offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s replacement, promoting longtime quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner to the position on Thursday, four days after Pittsburgh’s season ended with a divisional round playoff loss to Jacksonville. The Steelers chose not to renew Haley’s contract, opening the door for Fichtner to take over one of the league’s most dynamic offenses. The 54-year-old Fichtner last called plays while serving as offensive coordinator at Memphis from 2001-06. He joined Pittsburgh’s coaching staff in 2007 as one of coach Mike Tomlin’s initial hires. Fichtner spent three seasons as wide receivers coach before becoming the quarterbacks coach in 2010, where he developed a close rapport with Ben Roethlisberger. “We have a tremendous roster, and it will be my charge to continue putting our offensive players in position to succeed and score points,” Fichtner said in a statement. “We have the nucleus to be successful, and I am thrilled about the chance to lead the offense as we have already started preparing for the 2018 season.” See BRIEFS | 5B The RedStorm also out rebounded their guests, 46-33.

The other has the NFL’s No. 1 unit. Defense should win at least the NFC championship. Two of the league’s elite defenses go at it Sunday when the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) host the Minnesota Vikings (143) in the conference title game. “They have a great defense, we have a great defense,” Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham said. “Whoever is most complete will win.” The Vikings allowed the fewest yards (275.9) and fewest points (15.8) per game. The Eagles were fourth in yards allowed (306.5) and fourth in points (18.4). May the best defense reach the Super Bowl. “Typically, when you’re good defensively, you’re going to stay in the ballgames,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “Then you have a chance to win them at the end.” Minnesota has three Pro Bowl players on defense: end Everson Griffen, outside linebacker Anthony Barr and cornerback Xavier Rhodes. Safety Harrison Smith and Rhodes are All-Pros. “It’s just a smothering defense,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. “(Griffen) is a game wrecker. They just mix it in. You don’t know necessarily what’s coming. Rhodes is a tremendous corner, safeties are playing extremely well.” Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and safety Malcolm Jenkins are Philadelphia’s Pro Bowl picks. Defensive end Brandon Graham had an excellent season and cornerbacks Ronald Darby and Jalen Mills are solid. Hearing about Minnesota’s defense all week is extra motivation for Philadelphia, which is a home underdog for the second straight game. “When you’ve got the No. 1 defense coming in statistically, obviously, it ﬁres us up,” Cox said. “We know going into this game that whoever’s defense plays better is going to win the game. The way we’re prepared, we won’t change nothing that we do. We’ll just go out and be ourselves.” Here are things to watch for in the NFC championship game: BATTLE OF THE BACKUPS: Case Keenum and Nick Foles were teammates in St. Louis in 2015 and began this season as backups. Keenum had a breakout season for the Vikings after Sam Bradford was injured. Foles is 3-1 since MVP candidate Carson Wentz tore his ACL. Expect defenses to focus on the running backs and challenge the quarterbacks. BROTHERLY LOVE: The Kendricks family from Northern California is guaranteed to have a son playing linebacker in the Super Bowl. Eric Kendricks is in his third season with the Vikings, and Mychal is in his sixth year with the Eagles. Eric had his best season with 136 tackles to lead the team for the third straight time, nine passes defended and one interception return for a touchdown. Mychal was ﬁfth on the Eagles with 72 tackles in 2017, adding two sacks. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The week started with a little trash talk from the underdog . The rest of it was dominated by speculation about a certain 40-year-old quarterback’s injured throwing hand . Plenty of intrigue for when the Jaguars and Patriots meet in Sunday’s AFC championship game? New England (14-3), the defending Super Bowl champion, is favored heading into its seventh straight conference title game. But the polished veneer it normally displays at this time of year is showing ﬂecks of imperfection after Tom Brady injured his right hand during practice. The injury kept Brady limited in workouts to begin the week and caused him to sit out practice entirely on Thursday. Brady has never missed a playoff start during his 18-year career that includes four Super Bowl MPV honors. He said a bit contentiously only “We’ll see” on Friday when asked if he would play Sunday. He wore red gloves and responded to other questions about the hand’s status by saying “I’m not talking about that.” The Patriots’ topranked offense will need another signature performance from Brady against the Jaguars’ secondranked defense . Jacksonville (12-6), trying to earn a trip to its ﬁrst Super Bowl, has scored eight defensive touchdowns this season, three more than any other team. That’s the most defensive touchdowns in a season by one team since the 2012 Bears. Brady has faced a top-2 scoring defense in the playoffs three times, going 3-0 with a passer rating of 100-plus in each game. Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell said their respect for Brady is high. Then he dismissed the notion that anyone in Jacksonville felt like the Jags were simply playing with “house money” after surprising Pittsburgh in the divisional round. “We have earned the right to be here,” he said. “We have put a lot of time and effort in, so this is an opportunity we feel like we deserve and we have prepared for. I can honestly say I expected to be here.” Jacksonville will also be up against history: The Patriots have won the past seven meetings with the Jaguars and two straight in the postseason. Since Jacksonville entered the NFL in 1995, it is 1-10 against the Patriots, including playoff games. Here are some things to watch for: FOURNETTE’S HEALTH: Jaguars rookie RB Leonard Fournette said he is feeling “good” after he was rear-ended in what authorities say was a minor three-car crash early in the week. Fournette ran for 109 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers despite reinjuring his right ankle in the ﬁrst half. It was his most productive game in three months. “I feel good in spite of the ankle and stuff,” Fournette said. “Just taking care of my body, but overall I feel good.” Scott Audette | AP file Jacksonville Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin argues a call with officials in 2001. Coughlin, who was in at the beginning of the Jaguars franchise, is two wins away from bringing a Super Bowl title to the town he helped put on the map. Unfinished biz: Coughlin gets 2nd shot to make Jags a champ JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — It’s no exaggeration to say Tom Coughlin built the Jaguars from the ground up. It’s also no exaggeration to say Coughlin’s last piece of unﬁnished business would be bringing a Super Bowl title to the town he helped put on the NFL map. Fifteen years after being unceremoniously booted by the franchise he shaped, Coughlin is back in the front ofﬁce, where he has helped guide the team in one of the league’s smallest markets to within two wins of the championship he came oh-so close to the ﬁrst time around. The 71-year-old executive VP of football operations started this franchise in 1995, working from an ofﬁce in a trailer outside the stadium then known as the Gator Bowl. He was the head coach and the one voice who made every decision — from who threw the passes to who ran the calculator for the salary cap to what color paint was on the walls. Denied not once, but twice, in the AFC title game where the Jaguars ﬁnd themselves again this week, Coughlin chased the ﬁnal pieces of the puzzle too hard. He wrecked the salary cap and left Jacksonville with the reputation of a man who had few equals on the sideline but lots of ﬂaws in the front ofﬁce. Now, with two Super Bowl rings from New York as a coach in his back pocket, Coughlin is working his magic this time from that same front ofﬁce. He has shown no interest in coaching and has sought zero attention this season, and especially this week, as the Jaguars get ready to play at New England in the AFC championship game Sunday — 21 years after Coughlin took them to the same place for the same stakes in only their second year of existence. He may be deﬂecting the credit, but anyone who knows Coughlin knows what this means. “He was the architect who built this thing, and he had his hands in every aspect of it,” said Tony Boselli, the Hall of Fame ﬁnalist who was the team’s ﬁrst draft pick. “Knowing him and as competitive as he, I think he would love (it). It would be a really special, and almost a ﬁnishing of what he started back in 1995.” Of course, there are no regrets about the 12 years Coughlin spent with the Giants in between these jobs in Jacksonville. The league changed, and Coughlin changed with it. He shed the reputation of the unbending taskmaster (though clocks are still set 5 minutes ahead), dealt less with off-the-field decisions and more with the X’s and O’s, and won two Super Bowls, both against the Patriots, both as an underdog. Coughlin’s mastery of the Patriots and Bill Belichick, with whom he worked as an assistant coach under Bill Parcells back in the day, has been no small part of the conversation this week. But if Coughlin will be calling any shots on game day — or has been at any point this season — nobody is the wiser. Doug Marrone is the head coach, although Coughlin is always around. “I don’t think I can lean on him anymore because I’m a big guy,” Marrone said, only halfjoking. To focus on Coughlin this week is to focus on how he transformed this roster and made sure the franchise, in owner Shad Khan’s words , no longer “lacked football IQ.’” The smarter look helped push a team that ﬁred its coach and went 3-13 in 2016 to within a game of the Super Bowl for the ﬁrst time since January 2000. Coughlin was instrumental in signing the best free-agent class in franchise history. All-Pro defensive lineman Calais Campbell ranked second in the NFL with a team-record 14 ½ sacks, making him the most impactful free agent in 2017. Cornerback A.J. Bouye and safety Barry Church helped make Jacksonville’s secondary the best in the league. Top pick Leonard Fournette and second-rounder Cam Robinson, both college stars from NFL factories, reinforced the team’s new identity as a tough, physical group that expects to win every game. All those moves allowed the Jaguars to win around quarterback Blake Bortles, who has been dreadful at times and efﬁcient at best, and a beneﬁciary of a defense that looks like a monster. The unit ranked second in points, yards, sacks and takeaways. “One of Tom’s greatest skills is making people believe they can do more than they think is possible, work harder than they thought they could and achieve more than they ever imagined,” said Brian Sexton, the longtime radio voice of the team and one of the handful of people who have been with the team since its inception. “I never met anybody who worked with him that didn’t want to do their best and have him see them doing their best. It’s a unique skill of his.” Briefs SEC — can apply their own policies regarding coverage.

GoDaddy Green, to be exact — a ﬁtting color for her farewell tour. The company will sponsor Patrick in the upcoming “Danica Double” that will close out her racing career, The Associated Press has learned. Patrick has no ride yet for next month’s Daytona 500 or the Indianapolis 500 in May, but she now has the ﬁnancial backing to pull it off. This time around, the original GoDaddy Girl will symbolize the new core mission of the company that helped make her one of the world’s most recognizable athletes. “There’s this great story: I left IndyCar with GoDaddy on my car, I started NASCAR with GoDaddy on my car, I’m most recognized as the GoDaddy green car and driver, and so to ﬁnish up my career that way feels appropriate,” Patrick told the AP from Scottsdale, Arizona. Her ﬁnal race will be the Indy 500, an appropriate choice because it was “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” that rocketed Patrick and GoDaddy into pop culture notoriety. GoDaddy and Patrick grew up together. The company switched series with her and marketed her as a strong, sexy woman in 13 Super Bowl commercials — a record appearance for celebrities. Now, the company is most interested in Patrick the budding businesswoman who is ﬁrmly closing the door on her racing career and rebranding herself as an entrepreneur . She has a book out, an apparel line, a wine label and conﬁrmed to AP this week that she’s dating Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. “Our goals are so wellaligned,” Barb Rechterman, the chief marketing ofﬁcer of GoDaddy, told AP. “She’s passionate, tenacious and creative just like so many of our customers who are also looking to leverage the power of the internet and turn their ‘side hustle’ into a full-time business. Danica absolutely epitomizes the heart of our GoDaddy customers.” Prepare to hear a lot about the “side hustle” as GoDaddy climbs aboard the so-far ﬂedgling “Danica Double.” Patrick announced in Legals The City of Gallipolis is calling for bids to clean and repair the Kerr Memorial Fountain in the City Park.
