Dog Warden accused of animal cruelty
Witness claims to have found puppies in trash bags
By FRANK LEWIS
PDT Staff Writer
The Pike County Sheriff ’s Office has charged
Pike County Dog Warden
Randy Mustard with 11
counts of cruelty to animals.
“The allegations are
that he supposedly put
puppies to sleep, and
couldn’t finish the job,
and he had them put in
a garbage bag and threw
them out behind the Dog
Pound where they were
allegedly found by a lady
who had been there to
look for her lost dog,”
Pike County Prosecutor
Rob Junk said Wednesday afternoon. “And apparently she saw that
and notified the Sheriff ’s
Office and they began an
investigation. They found
that it looks like he had
them put in a garbage bag
and they were still alive.”
Junk said the Pike
County Commissioners
have suspended Mustard,
but he was uncertain
what type of suspension.
“The Sheriff ’s Office
filed the charges today,”
Junk said. “He is due into
court at 9 a.m. on Jan. 9.
Basically they’re going to
issue him a summons on
the charges.”
Junk said animal cruelty cases always result
in outrage by the public.
“We are going to expect
to be getting all kinds of
calls over this,” Junk said.

‘Faking the funk’
Homeless shelter reacts to online photos of
supposed panhandler buying flat-screen TV
By RYAN SCOTT OTTNEY
PDT Staff Writer
The Scioto County
Homeless Shelter responded with frustration Wednesday to photos showing a supposed
homeless man purchasing
a large TV last week at
Walmart. Shelter Director
Maureen Cadogan said
it’s important not to let
it scare people away from
giving where it is really
needed.
The man, identified as
John Snavely, is often found
on the corner of 11th and
Chillicothe streets next to
OSCO in Portsmouth holding a sign that says he is a
disabled veteran, has no
family, and lives in a tarp
tent in the woods. Last
week, Snavely was photographed purchasing a 42inch Sanyo flat-screen television at Walmart in New
Boston and paying from
a large pile of cash. That
television model was listed
on Wednesday for $478.98
at Walmart.com.
“All these people out
there who are faking the
funk — they are jerks,”
Cadogan said. “Those
people are out there not
because it’s fun, but because they’re making good
money, and that spot by
OSCO is a huge spot.”
She said she has invited
Snavely to the homeless
shelter, and offered to help
get veteran’s assistance,
but he refuses.
“I have heard many
things about him,” Cadogan said. “He used to work

not supposed to be doing

The owner of the last

County has been arraigned and placed in the
Scioto County Jail under
a $1 million bond.
According to Dan Tierney of Ohio Attorney
General Mike DeWine’s
office, George Marshall
Adkins of 53 Brouse St.,
West Portsmouth, owner
of Greater Medical Advance on Ohio River
Road in Wheelersburg,
turned himself in at the
Scioto County Courthouse.
Adkins was indicted

SSU swears in police officers
By FRANK LEWIS
PDT Staff Writer
Shawnee State University President
Rita Rice Morris swore in two new sergeants with the SSU Police Department
Wednesday afternoon.
Taking the oath were Sgt. Laura K. Davis and Sgt. Jonathan G. Peters, both former members of the Portsmouth Police
Department.
Davis, whose duties have included and
will continue to include grants writing,
has served as a school resource officer
with the Portsmouth City School District.
She said the move seems natural to her.
“It is going to be very similar in that I
dealt with students the last eight years,”
Davis said. “These are obviously older
students who are basically over the age
of 18. It’s going to be different in that we
still have to treat them as students, but
they are adults now, and we just need to

Public Safety.
Peters said he is excited to make the
move from the city to the campus environment.
Crash in South Shore
“I’m excited because it’s a new opportunity. It’s a fantastic opportunity
to come to Shawnee State,” Peters said.
“I’ve watched them grow all my life. I
remember when it was just Massie Hall
down there when I was a kid. We’ll take
care of these students and they’ll take
care of us.”
SSU Police Chief David Thoroughman said the unit will remain a hybrid
operation divided between a security
force and a police force, but the official
police force will make the transition to a
full-time force when the third sergeant,
Shane Hatfield, returns from training.
He is to be sworn in later.
“The process now is just to complete
the field training for our current officers,” Thoroughman said. “After we obtain training then we are able to move
forward and begin operating as a police
department. We will also enter into the
mutual aid agreement with the city. We
have that currently approved by (City)
Council, and both the Mayor (David
Malone) and Dr. Morris will sign it when
we are ready to proceed.”

Village Council appoints Williams president
By RYAN SCOTT OTTNEY
PDT Staff Writer
NEW BOSTON — The
Village Council convened
for its annual organizational meeting before its
regular meeting Tuesday
evening.
Councilman Mike Payton nominated William
“Junior” Williams as 2012
president pro tempore. The
motion was passed with
a unanimous vote of five
councilmen. Williams abstained from casting a vote.
After accepting the nomination, Williams recommended council maintain
its current meeting schedule — the first and third
Tuesday of every month at
6:30 p.m. — through 2012.
New Boston Mayor
James Warren also passed
out the assigned list of
2012 council committee
appointments.
Williams
was appointed to chairman the Finance and Wage
Committee; Payton was
appointed to the Utilities and Communications
Committee; Councilman
Ralph Imes was appointed
to the Streets, Alleys and
Transportation Committee;
Councilman Dan Fetty was
appointed to the Lands and
Building Committee; Councilman Terry Salyers was
appointed to the Laws and
Claims Committee; and
Councilman Jon Mills was
appointed to the Flood,
Sewage and Service Committee.
After concluding its 2012
organizational
meeting,
council began its regular
monthly meeting with an
unusually packed house.
The meeting was so full,
it was moved from the
regular council room to the
larger community room to
accommodate
everyone.
Before opening the floor
for public comments, Warren cautioned attendants
that because of an ongoing
investigation council was
unable to hear any discussion regarding New Boston
Police Officer Kevin Lewis.
Lewis was injured during an altercation Dec. 29.
Police arrested Jody McGuire, 43, of Portsmouth
and charged him with assaulting a police officer.
“It’s down at the Portsmouth Municipal Court
and there’s a possibility it’s
going to go to a grand jury,
therefore council cannot
hear anything concerning
this particular case,” he
said.
McGuire is scheduled to
appear today in the Portsmouth Municipal Court.
Later in the meeting,
the matter of crime was
discussed. Village Administrator Steve Hamilton
said the village still has a
problem with sewer covers being stolen, and said
one of his neighbors has
had all of the copper stolen
from her house. He warned
that thieves have even been
drilling into vehicle gas
tanks to steal gasoline.
To help protect citizens,
Hamilton said he has been
warning residents with
large oxygen signs in their
home windows to use
smaller signs so not to
draw such obvious attention to themselves.
The next regular meeting
of the New Boston Village
Council will be Jan. 17.

told to me by a former coworker of his, and he would
leave his construction site
at lunchtime and go stand
by OSCO. He said he made
more on the corner of
OSCO than he did working
for construction.”
Robert Gambill of Portsmouth said he took the photos of Snavely purchasing
the TV.
“I bank at Woodforest
and I was waiting in line. I
turned around and looked
and I thought, ‘no way!’,”
Gambill said.
Gambill said he actually followed Snavely from
OSCO one day. He said Snavely got into a mid-90s red
pickup truck that he keeps
discreetly parked across the
street from the corner on
Chillicothe Street and drove
to a trailer home in West
Portsmouth.
According to the Scioto
County Sheriff’s Office, Snavely has filed several theft
reports listing his home address as 812 Bellamy Road
in West Portsmouth.
The first incident is dated
July 21, 2008, when Snavely reported miscellaneous
scrap metals stolen from his
yard. He told officers that
they did not need to pursue
the case, and no follow-up
was necessary. The second
incident came on Jan. 9,
2009, when Snavely reported a coin collection, knife
collection and power inverter stolen from his vehicle.
He filed another report of
stolen metals on June 24,
2009; and on Nov. 26, 2009,
he reported that someone
had let his dog loose from
his property.
All this from the home
that he claims he doesn’t
have.
Cadogan remembers the
first time she fell victim to a
homeless scam.
“There used to be a man
at the old Big Bear when I
first started at the shelter. I
went to McDonald’s and got
him a huge bag of food with
the last of my change that
was supposed to last me
for the week. Then I used a
credit card at Big Bear and
bought him enough groceries to feed a family of three
for about a week. I handed
him the groceries and then I
handed him the McDonald’s
food. He put it down and
holds his sign up,” Cadogan
said.
She was so upset, she followed the man one night
when he left Big Bear.
“He went to a house that
was better than mine,” she
said.

year, in addition to hitting the gym, learning that second language

the Portsmouth Motorcycle
Club and participates in
charitable activities. Last
Christmas season, the PMC
collected more than $18,000
for New Boston Police and
Portsmouth Fire Department Christmas gift activities. He said it hurts everyone when someone takes
advantage of other people’s
generosity.
“It makes me mad, because we get out there
and we give to people
that legitimately need it,”
Gambill said. “That kind
of thing hurts us, because
now you’ve got to wonder
about all that other money
you’re giving and where
is it going? It hurts us as a
community who tries to do
the right thing when you’ve
got someone like this scamming.”
Cadogan said it also hurts
the image of real homelessness in Scioto County.
“The shelter itself was
in need of funds recently.
Those people just go out
randomly, but we (the shelter) had to have a permit to
go out there and stand. People just drove past us like we
were nothing because we
didn’t look like they look. If
I went out there in ragged
clothes and looked they way
they look maybe they would
give to us, too, but that is
so misleading to the community.”
She said it’s always better to give to legitimate organizations rather than to

OLBH offers help to quit smoking
Because New Year’s resolutions sometimes require
the support of others, Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital (OLBH) invites anyone wishing to stop smoking
to join its free smoking cessation program. The next
session begins Monday, Jan. 9, with classes meeting
Mondays at 6 p.m. at the OLBH Human Motion Vitality Center conference room.
The six-week program uses the proven Cooper-Clayton method to help participants become non-smokers.
Sessions are free except for the cost of nicotine replacement or Zyban. Family, friends or other members
of an individual’s support system are welcome to attend.
For more information, or to register, contact the
OLBH CareLine at (606) 833-CARE (2273).

hopes that the few acts of
greedy people do not affect
the spirit of giving.
“Don’t harden your
heart, because the word of
God still says ‘Whatever
you have done to the least
of these you have done
unto me.’ Just do it with
wisdom and with caution,”
Cadogan said.

Kardashian can pay more,
tax proponents say
By JULIET WILLIAMS
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO,
Calif. — Kim Kardashian,
can’t you pay more? Proponents of a proposed tax
increase on millionaires in
California are asking that
question of the outsize
personality, who has parlayed her reality TV celebrity status into fame and
personal fortune.
An online video from
the Courage Campaign
targets the star of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and “Kourtney and
Kim Take New York” as
part of its campaign for a
proposed November ballot initiative to raise taxes
on the wealthiest Californians.
The video ad flashes
images of Kardashian enjoying the good life, proclaiming that “being on
TV has changed my life,
because you get lots of
free stuff.”
It
says
Kardashian
made $12 million in 2010
but paid just 1 percentage
point more in California
income taxes than someone making $47,000 —
10.3 percent vs. 9.3 percent. The video ad, which
is posted at www.Taxkimk.
com , urges Kardashian to
support the proposal for a
tax increase.
“Not everyone was born
a Kardashian, but we
all need to pay our fair
share,” it says.
A spokeswoman for
Kardashian, Pearl Servat,
did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday from The Associated
Press.
The Courage Campaign
and the California Federation of Teachers are
among the groups backing
a so-called millionaire’s
tax that would raise income tax rates by 3 percent to 5 percent for individuals who make more
than $1 million a year.
Proponents say the tax
would raise about $6 billion to help fund public
schools and local services
that have been hit hard
during the recession, such
as social services, programs for the elderly and
public safety.
If the groups are successful in getting their tax
initiative on the November
ballot, they would likely
pursue a television ad on
the same theme, Courage

Tax revenue to the state
has dropped $17 billion
since the recession began
during the 2007-08 fiscal
year, requiring billions of
dollars a year in budget
cuts.
The millionaires tax is
one of several ballot proposals circulating in California seeking to increase
income taxes on the
wealthy as a way to help
close the state’s annual
budget deficit. In 2010,
about 41,000 Californians
reported adjusted gross
income above $1 million,
paying about $13.1 billion
in taxes to the state, according to the Franchise
Tax Board.
A proposal by Gov.
Jerry Brown also seeks to
raise taxes temporarily,
and he has been reach-
ing out to wealthy donors
who could help finance his
initiative campaign. The
Democratic governor said
he has found that most
wealthy people are not
too excited about increasing their own taxes, with
some exceptions.
“I talked to Rob Reiner;
he was very excited about
paying more taxes,” the
governor quipped last
week. A spokesman for
Reiner was not immediately available for comment Tuesday.

idea. Being hungry or tired B.T.
Dear B.T.: This definitely
is a hot topic in child psychology as smartphones
become more and more
popular among parents.
Opinions certainly differ, especially since there
haven’t yet been any good
studies showing effects of
smartphone use by kids.
Some of the traditional wisdom we have about letting
kids use video games and
television definitely applies,
particularly to games and
smartphone apps that have
little or no educational value. But there is something
to be said for allowing your
kids to learn flashcards on
the iPhone instead of on
index cards, or to practice
Spanish by speaking to an
Android phone.
Like with more traditional media, a good rule
of thumb is to monitor the
amount of time your children spend with the device
and what they have access
to on it. If you think they’re
working on their multiplication tables but they’re
really playing Angry Birds,
they’re certainly not gaining any educational benefit.
That being said, judicious
use of these devices can add
to your arsenal of available
distractions for those times
when you really need a moment to yourself. You may
feel more comfortable with
younger kids only having
access to educational material, but similarly to the
DVDs and TV shows promising that your toddler will
be reading Greek in just
four simple lessons, a lot of
the so-called benefits don’t
live up to the hype.

Lions’ Suh doesn’t
plan to let Saints
win shootout

Colts Vice Chairman Bill Polian, Owner Jim Irsay and Vice President and General Manager Chris Polian talk before their
game on Sunday, November 27, 2011, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Panthers won the game 27-19.
Polian regrets not having
backup plan for the Colts
By MICHAEL MAROT
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS — Bill Polian
made one big mistake in Indianapolis: Not having an adequate
backup for Peyton Manning.
It cost the Colts vice chairman
and his son their jobs.
On Wednesday, Polian told The
Associated Press that not grooming a replacement for the injured
Manning was the primary reason
the Colts collapsed this season, going from Super Bowl contender to
the league’s worst record.
“I’ve always told the staff that
our approach should be to hope for
the best but plan for the worst, and
I didn’t do an adequate enough job
of planning for the circumstances
we were in,” Polian said in a phone
interview. “It led to this catastrophe.”
When asked if he was referring
specifically to finding a backup for
Manning, Polian said: “Yes.”
It’s the first time Polian has commented since he and his son, general manager Chris Polian, were
fired Monday.
The longtime NFL executive revived the Colts’ brand name in two
seasons, turning a moribund organization into one of the league’s
model franchises. During Polian’s
14-year tenure, the Colts won 143
regular-season games, eight division titles, two AFC crowns and
the first Super Bowl championship
in the Indianapolis era.
Even all that couldn’t save Polian after a 2-14 record gave Indy
the No. 1 draft pick.
“I understand what the dynamics are. So when you have the kind
of season we had, there’s always
some accountability and that includes me,” Polian said. “Was I
surprised? No. The timing of it
was a bit surprising, but not the
end result.”
Manning’s neck injury changed
everything.
The four-time league MVP never
played after undergoing surgery
Sept. 8, his third and most invasive procedure in 19 months. With
Manning out, the Polians scrambled.
First, they brought 17-year veteran Kerry Collins, who Polian
originally drafted in Carolina, out
of retirement for $4 million. Collins didn’t last a month. Curtis
Painter, Manning’s backup the
previous two seasons, replaced
Collins as the starter in Week 4
but struggled.
Still winless heading into December, the Colts finally turned to
seven-year NFL veteran Dan Orlovsky, who ended a nine-game personal losing streak with two wins

ALLEN PARK, Mich.
— Ndamukong Suh was
helpless the last time Detroit played New Orleans.
A stomp-induced, twogame suspension relegated him to watching
his teammates play last
month when the Lions
lost 31-17 to the Saints —
and Suh said he did that
from his parents’ home in
Portland, Ore.
“It was obviously difficult,” Suh said softly.
This time, Suh will be
on the field to help a franchise with only one playoff victory since winning
the 1957 NFL title pull
off an upset win at New
Orleans.
The Lions and Saints
have offenses so potent
that oddsmakers have set
the over-under betting
line at a playoff-record
59 points for Saturday
night’s game. The previous high was 57 when
the Saints played Arizona
two years ago and won
45-14.
“I don’t plan on anybody shooting our defense out,” Suh said. “You
can’t discredit the type of
offensive team that we’re
going to face in the New
Orleans Saints. Drew
Brees is obviously a great
quarterback.
“I look at it as a great
challenge,” he said.
The 2010 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year
has not met the daunting challenge of matching
his statistical production
from last season.
Suh had 10 sacks and
66 tackles as a rookie and
just four sacks and 36
tackles in his second pro
season.
How would Suh grade
himself?
“Null and void,” he
said. “It doesn’t matter in
this particular game. You
have to go out and win
this game, that’s most important. It doesn’t matter
what you did in the regular season.”
In three games since
returning from his NFLissued suspension from
stomping on a Green Bay
lineman, he’s had a total
of five tackles along with
a victory-sealing blocked
field goal at Oakland. He
ended his six-game sack
drought in Sunday’s 4541 loss to the Packers.
“I’d agree he hasn’t
shown up on the stat sheet
as much, but I thought
he did some really good
things in the Green Bay
game and I think he’s
played well,” Detroit
coach Jim Schwartz said.
“He’s impacted the game
since he’s been back. I
think one thing is you
can’t change what you do
to try and show up on the
stat sheet.”
Suh certainly doesn’t
have plans to alter how he
plays on the field or acts
off it.
He has vowed to continue playing with relentless passion, despite
getting fined four times
plus losing two paychecks
during his suspension.
And, he doesn’t seem interested in giving many
more people access to his
inner circle.
“It’s not a media thing,
he just doesn’t let many
people in period because
he’s just quiet and reserved,” said teammate
Kyle Vanden Bosch, who
is also a former Nebraska
Cornhuskers star. “Knowing him on a person level,
I just know that he takes
everything very seriously
and you’re not going to
see him be loud or outspoken or in a lot of long
conversations with just
anybody.”
Bengals QB Dalton misses practice with flu MAC makes shift
By JOE KAY
AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI — Rookie
quarterback Andy Dalton missed practice on
Wednesday with the flu,
leaving backup Bruce
Gradkowski to run the
Bengals offense during another sub-freezing workout
at Paul Brown Stadium.
Coach Marvin Lewis
said Dalton should be
back on Thursday. He’s
expected to play Saturday
at Houston’s Reliant Stadium, where he’s never lost.
The second-round pick
grew up in the suburbs and
played two games there in
high school and another
for TCU.
The Bengals (9-7) will
be trying to get their first
playoff win since the 1990
season when they play the
Texans. Reliant Stadium
has a retractable roof, so
weather won’t be an issue.
The challenge is to stay
healthy until then.
The temperature was
22 with a wind chill of 14
degrees when they hit the
field on Tuesday. On Tuesday night, rookie receiver
A.J. Green from Georgia
tweeted: “It was so cold at
practice today … I couldn’t
feel my toes.”
Not a whole lot better on
Wednesday, with a temperature of 35 degrees and a
wind chill of 27 when practice ended. Players wore

The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — The
Mid-American
Conference has shifted in football.
With UMass joining
the East division in 2012,
the league announced
Wednesday that Bowling Green has moved to
the West division. The
alignment, which was approved in a unanimous
vote by the MAC’s presidents, is in football only.
UMass will be in the
East along with Akron,
Buffalo, Kent State, Miami and Temple. Bowling Green’s competition
in the West will be Ball
State; Central Michigan;
Eastern Michigan; Northern Illinois; Toledo and
Western Michigan.
Commissioner
Jon
Steinbrecher said a number of alignment options
were considered and the
final decision was made
based on the “core principles of geography, travel
and rivalries.”
This will be the first
time since 2006 that the
MAC will have balanced
divisional schedules.
UMass will begin conference play for the 2012
football season and be eligible for the conference
championship game and a
bowl in 2013.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Jan. 5, 2012:
This year, focus on the quality of
your daily life. To make your life work,
take good care of your health, treat
yourself well and follow a sensible
lifestyle. You often don’t understand
where others are coming from. The
smart action is not to judge, and to
simply observe what happens. If you
are single, you could meet someone
through the process of living. Don’t
push the process. If you are attached,
the two of you will experience more
happiness if you share a common
hobby. GEMINI, though different, also
is efficient.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Confusion surrounds
the beginning of the workday. Keep
asking questions, and clear out the
present haze. To others, you act in
unexpected ways. Once you gain clarity, you gain new insights pointing
in an unthought-of direction. Tonight:
Talking up a storm.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH What might be presented as
an opportunity could be nothing less
than a problem once you gain a clear
perspective. You might be stunned,
but your knee-jerk reaction opens up
a situation. Listen to your inner voice.
Tonight: Your treat.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Let your mind wander. You
might want to back up an idea by
doing needed research or clearing out
a hassle. What motivates someone
you look up to might not be clear. A
meeting or friend could make a surprising allegation. Tonight: The world
is your oyster.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH Lie low for yourself, but not
to provoke a certain reaction. Given
some downtime, you’ll emerge a force
to be dealt with. A respected friend or
loved one could jolt you with his or her
thoughts or actions. Your instincts will
guide you. Tonight: Get some extra
R and R.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Just when you thought
you had established a set of strong
interactions, chaos clouds the situation. When you are clear, you could be
shocked by what you see. Emphasize
your long-term goals and desires.
Hold back if need be. Tonight: Zero in
on what is important.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You take a stand. Make
sure you aren’t dependent on getting
a certain reaction. Eventually, without
pushing, people will see the light of
your ideas. A key partner or loved one
continues to keep your life exciting.
Tonight: A must appearance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Keep reaching out for
someone at a distance. Your ability to
mend fences doesn’t need to happen.
Why not let the other party make the
necessary overtures? You discover
how full of surprises another person
is. Do you really want to deal with this
energy? Tonight: Take an overview of
the possibilities, then decide.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You have a lot going on,
and much comes from a partner who
seems to be an open valve into your
life. This person cannot seem to leave
you alone. When do you declare
“enough”? How do you do it? Setting
boundaries might define your success.
Tonight: A talk.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Defer to others. You will
gain insight into your own agenda,
and also theirs. Be honest — are they
compatible? You might want to see
what you have in common, despite
different solutions. A child or loved
one delights you. Tonight: Relax with
a loved one.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH All work and no play is not
what the doctor ordered. Your intuition
comes through when dealing with a
neighbor or a close relative. If you are
confused, imagine how confused this
person is. In which area of your life are
you not seeing everything? Somehow,
every person’s vision screens information. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH Your imagination can get
you and others into a lot of mischief. If
you decide to suddenly veer in another direction, you could be happier, but
others will complain. Remain true to
yourself. Tonight: In weekend mode.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH You might want to retreat,
as confusion and demands seem to
come toward you. Whether closing the
door at your office or deciding to call
in and take a personal day, you need
to take care of yourself. Buy a lottery
ticket if you feel lucky. Tonight: Happy
to be home.

Colts
From Page 5
in five days just before
Christmas.
But more could have and
should have been done,
Polian said.
“We probably could
have straightened out the
defensive situation a little
earlier than we did, but
that wasn’t critical,” Polian said, referring to the
November firing of defensive coordinator Larry
Coyer. “We needed to have
a guy in place if Peyton
had gone down and we
didn’t. It wouldn’t have
been a playoff season, I
don’t believe, if we had.
But I didn’t do it.”
The outside perception
was that other factors
played into Jim Irsay’s decision.
Some suspected the August acquisition of Collins
didn’t go over well within
the organization.
Others questioned Polian’s recent drafts, which
produced little impact
from former first-round
picks Anthony Gonzalez,
Donald Brown or Jerry
Hughes until Brown’s lateseason surge in 2011.
There was even a rumored rift between Polian
and Manning, something
Polian called “completely
untrue.”
“He was the first person into the office after
it happened,” Polian said.
“There’s no rift at all.
None.”
In fact, Polian said, the
two were speaking in the
training room about Manning’s offseason rehab plan
when Irsay called him into
the office. The two Polians
then met separately with
Irsay, and afterward, Bill
Polian said, he and Manning talked for another 45
minutes. Polian declined
to provide details of that
discussion, calling it private.
Does Polian believe
Manning will play again in
2012?
“I don’t know. I can’t
answer that,” he said. “I
recognize that’s been a
frustration for fans, for
you people in the media,
and I wish I could have
given you more concrete
answers, but I just don’t
know. I hope for his sake
if he wants to play and the
situation is right for him,
that he can play.”
Polian’s influence hasn’t
just been felt in Indy.
He laid the foundation
Buffalo’s four straight Super Bowl teams. He took
Carolina to the NFC championship in the Panthers
second season. He helped
devise the NFL’s salary
cap, and has been a key
player in reshaping many
of the league’s playing
rules.
Six times, he was chosen The Sporting News
executive of the year.
Yet Indy was the only
place Polian ever won a
Super Bowl and, strangely
enough, it was the worst
season of his tenure that
produced the proudest moment and biggest regret.
“You might think I’m
proudest of the Super
Bowls and all the playoffs, the division championships, but I’m really
proud of the way the guys
handled this season,” Polian said. “Regrets? I don’t
have any regrets other
than a 2-14 season.”
Colts fans might contend there should be one
more regret on the list —
not playing for the perfect
season in 2009.
Polian disagrees.
“We just should have
recovered the onside kick
and not had the interception,” he said, referring
to two plays in the Super
Bowl loss.
He said he has no hard
feelings about Irsay, and
credited the Colts owner
with giving him everything he needed to win.
The two have been friends
for three decades, and
Polian said he would welcome Irsay attending the
Pro Football Hall of Fame
induction ceremony if he
makes it.
For Polian, the hardest
part wasn’t getting fired.
It was seeing his son lose
his job.
“The family part of it is
the hardest part, whether
it’s Chris or any of the
people that are close to
me,” he said. “Saying
goodbye to people is the
hardest part. When you’ve
been here 14 years, you’ve
built up a lot of relationships. I’ve told the players
for years and years to prepare for life after football
because this is a terminal
profession for all of us and
that’s true. But I’ve been
far, far luckier than the
vast majority of people.
I’ve worked for a great person, a great owner in Jim.”
Polian said he hasn’t
considered whether he
will return to football,
though he will try to help
his son and others land
new jobs.
Bengals
From Page 5
est weather he’d ever had for
practice, Green said, “Oh yeah,
definitely, by far. By far.”
Temperatures in the 40s are
forecast for Thursday’s practice.
The Bengals are the only
northern team without their
own covered practice field either in use or under construction. They have the right under
their stadium lease to cover one
of their adjacent practice fields,
but would have to pay for it.
The University of Cincinnati
approached the NFL team about
jointly building a bubble-covered field when Brian Kelly was
football coach, but the Bengals
declined. The university then
built a practice field with a removable bubble on campus. The
Bengals could rent the bubble
for four hours at a standard rate
of $2,500, but decided against it.
“The coaches determined
there was not sufficient reason
for us to get out of our regular
element this week,” club spokesman Jack Brennan said.
The concern on Wednesday
was getting Dalton healthy and
ready for one more cold-weather
practice followed by a trip home.
He grew up in the Houston suburb of Katy and attended games
at Reliant as a fan. He won those
three games there as well, making it feel like home.
“You get a chance to play in
Reliant Stadium as a high school
kid, it’s a really cool thing,” Dalton said on Tuesday. “That’s
how Texas high school (football)
is. You get to play in NFL stadiums.”
For the first time since the
AFL-NFL merger in 1970, a
playoff game will feature two
rookie quarterbacks. T.J. Yates,
a fifth-round pick, took over af-
ter Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart got hurt and led the Texans
to the playoffs.
Yates led a winning 80-yard
touchdown drove in the final 3
minutes for a 20-19 victory at
Paul Brown Stadium on Dec.
11. He and Dalton talked on the
field afterward.
“It was a big, game-winning
drive for him,” Dalton said. “It’s
good to see rookies — my class
— doing well. It was unfortunate that it was against us.”
The overriding question with
a rookie quarterback is how he’ll
handle playoff pressure. Dalton
has the experience advantage
over Yates because he won the
starting job during training
camp and started all 16 games.
Yates started the last five games.
“I have all the confidence in
Andy,” cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones said. “Andy is a
well-composed guy, doesn’t get
rattled by too much. He likes to
win and likes the pressure on
him.”
Dalton looked like a rookie
during a 31-24 loss at Baltimore
on Nov. 20, throwing three interceptions that helped the Ravens
get ahead 31-14 in the fourth
quarter. He was much more
careful over the last six games,
throwing five touchdowns and
only one interception in 184 attempts.
During the loss to Houston,
Dalton and the offense had a
miserable second half, blowing
a 16-3 lead. They managed 81
yards in the second half, including only 9 yards on 14 rushes.
Dalton fumbled on the second
play of the half to start Houston’s comeback and was 7 of 11
for 77 yards after halftime.
Dalton has been average over-

all much of the time, but that’s
been good enough to get Cincinnati into the playoffs. Four
times, he’s led the Bengals to
victories with fourth-quarter
comebacks.
“I don’t think pressure’s really
been an issue for him,” offensive
tackle Andrew Whitworth said.
“The greatest competitors are
the guys that want to win. They
want the heat. That’s a good
thing — it drives them. I think
Andy’s one of those guys.”
Notes: DE Frostee Rucker

missing practice. RB Cedric Benson (foot), C Kyle Cook (foot)
and S Chris Crocker (knee) were

Houston only one other time in
the postseason, beating the Oilers 41-14 after the 1990 season.
That was the Bengals’ last playoff win. They’re 0-2 since.
