Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban
warms up before an October preseason game
against the Tampa Bay Lightning. On Monday,
Predators general manager David Poile updated
the health of All-Star defenseman, a day after
Nashville placed him on injured reserve with an
upper-body injury.
Predators optimistic
Subban returns soon
BY JIM DIAMOND
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A
day after placing defenseman P.K. Subban on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, Nashville
Predators general manager David Poile is hopeful
the former Norris Trophy
winner’s stay on IR is brief.
“I think his timeframe
is going to be a good one,”
Poile said Monday. “I’ve
got my fingers crossed on
that.”
Subban has not played
in a game since Dec. 15
and has missed Nashville’s
last seven contests due to
the injury. When placing
the blueliner on injured
reserve Sunday, the team
said Subban will be reevaluated in two to three
weeks. The Predators are
3-2-2 in his absence.
Poile met with reporters Monday after a public
practice to discuss the injury and the uncertainty
about when the Predators
can expect Subban back in
the lineup.
“When you do that, just
like when we said it is dayto-day, it is just a little bit
of a guesstimate in terms
of where he is at,” Poile
said. “We thought that he
would be back sooner, but
sometimes this is what
happens with injuries.”
Poile noted that Subban has been working out
every day and has skated
some. Subban is scheduled to talk with reporters
Tuesday morning.
Subban leads all Nashville defensemen with seven goals this season. His
average ice time of 25:03
per game ranks second on
the team, behind only fellow defenseman Roman
Josi. Poile is expecting
Subban back in the next
couple weeks.
“Whenever you miss a
player of his abilities, it
takes away from your lineup and everybody’s very
curious as to what’s going
on,” Poile said.
Entering Monday’s action, the Predators are fifth
in the Central Division and
10th in the Western Conference.
The Predators host the
Montreal Canadiens on
tonight. The Canadiens
sent Subban to Nashville
in a blockbuster June 29
deal that sent then Predator captain Shea Weber to
Montreal.
Kiffin leaving before
national title game
BY JOHN ZENOR

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —
Lane Kiffin isn’t sticking
around to run Alabama’s
offense in the national
championship
game,
bringing an end to a successful but sometimes
tense three-year pairing
with Crimson Tide coach
Nick Saban.
Saban said Monday that
Kiffin will leave to focus
on his new job as Florida
Atlantic’s head coach. Incoming offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian will
replace him for the Jan. 9
game against Clemson in
Tampa, Florida.
Kiffin and Saban said
they made the decision
after meetings following
the Peach Bowl win over
Washington.
“We appreciate all that
Lane has done for our
football program over the
last three years,” Saban
said. “We sat down following the Washington
game and talked about the
time demands of managing both jobs, and we recognized that it is best for
our players, and for Lane,
that we allow him to turn

PASADENA, Calif. — After 98
combined points and 1,040 yards

highest-scoring Rose Bowl in history rested on the left foot of a
Southern California kicker who
had already missed two field goals.
Matt Boermeester somehow
blocked out the cacophonous tension in the chilly air. He focused
only on securing a perfect ending
to an epic evening.
“Game was on the line, but
you’ve got to keep true to your
technique and trust it,” Boermeester said.
His technique was sound. His
kick was true. And the Trojans got

Sarkisian, who was fired
from USC last season , had

TAMPA, Fla. — Austin Appleby threw for 222 yards and two
touchdowns, helping No. 20 Florida end a two-game losing streak
with a 30-3 rout of No. 21 Iowa in
the Outback Bowl on Monday.
Mark Thompson scored on an
85-yard pass play in the first half
and Appleby, a graduate transfer
who spent the past four seasons at
Purdue, tossed a 6-yard TD pass
to DeAndre Goolsby to break the
game open late in the third quarter. Chauncey Gardner, Jr., returned the first of his two fourthquarter interceptions 58 yards for
a 24-3 lead.
Florida (9-4) rebounded from
lopsided losses to archrival Florida
State and No. 1 Alabama, scoring
more points on Iowa (8-5) than the
Hawkeyes allowed to Michigan,
Illinois and Nebraska combined
while ending the regular season on
a three-game winning streak.
Iowa’s C.J. Beathard led an early
field goal drive, and managed to
get his team close to the end zone
on two other occasions. Florida’s
defense stiffened both times, stopping the Hawkeyes on downs at
the Gator 3 in the second quarter
and forcing them to settle for a
30-yard field goal that sailed wide
right midway through the third
quarter.
Appleby, who actually began
his career at Purdue against Iowa,
shrugged off throwing interceptions on Florida’s first two drives
of the day to finish 14 of 25 passing.
Akrum Wadley ran for 115 yards,
giving Iowa a pair of 1,000-yard
rushers in the same season for the
first time. The junior finished with
1,081, and LeShun Daniels wound
up with 1,058 after gaining 45

Wisconsin wins Cotton
Bowl, only Western
Michigan loss
ARLINGTON, Texas — Wisconsin tight end Troy Fumagalli
made a leaping 8-yard touchdown
catch in the fourth quarter and the
Badgers won 24-16 in the Cotton
Bowl on Monday to deny Western
Michigan an undefeated season.
The TD catch by Fumagalli with
14 minutes left, in the back of the
end zone between two defenders,
came three plays after a rare interception thrown by Zach Terrell
and made it 24-10.
With their “Row The Boat”
mentality inspired by young head
coach P.J. Fleck, the 12th-ranked
Broncos (13-1) made it from one
win during his first season in Kalamazoo three years ago to the last
FBS team other than No. 1 Alabama this season with a chance to
be undefeated.
Eighth-ranked Wisconsin (113), which finished with 11 wins for
the fourth time in seven seasons,
was clearly bigger and stronger —
especially up front. The Big Ten
runner-up Badgers set the tone
early, with rushing touchdowns
on their first two drives to take a
14-0 lead against the Group of Five
team.
Fumagalli had several other
highlight catches, including a
one-handed 20-yard grab on the
Badgers’ opening drive, and a 26yard catch to convert third-and-8
as they ran out the final 3:27 after
Western Michigan scored.
Terrell combined with AllAmerica receiver Corey Davis for
51 career touchdowns, tying the
FBS record on an 11-yarder on
fourth down with 3:27 left. Even
with cornerback Sojourn Shelton’s
arms wrapped around him in the
back of the end zone, Davis broke
free to make the catch.

No. 13 Duke women
knock off No. 8 Louisville
BY ARNIE STAPLETON
DURHAM, N.C. — Lexie Brown
scored 17 points and No. 13 Duke beat
No. 8 Louisville 58-55 on Monday
night for its ninth straight win.
Rebecca Greenwell had 10 points
for the Blue Devils (13-1, 1-0 Atlantic
Coast Conference), who shot 44 percent and forced 19 turnovers, turning
them into 18 points.
Myisha Hines-Allen had 16 points
and 12 rebounds for the Cardinals
(13-3, 1-1), who had won seven in a
row. Asia Durr finished with 15 points
and Mariya Moore added 14 points in
a tight game with six ties and 16 lead
changes.
The last of those came on Greenwell’s running layup through contact
with 56.7 seconds left that put Duke
up 54-53. Kendall Cooper blocked
Briahanna Jackson’s 3-pointer with
about 30 seconds left, and after
Brown hit four free throws in the final
17.9 seconds, the Cardinals had one
last chance to send it to overtime.
Durr handed off to Sydney Zambrotta — who hadn’t taken a shot all
night until she uncorked an off-balance 3-pointer with about 2 seconds
left that bounced twice off the rim before Cooper grabbed the rebound.
Big Picture
BY JOEDY MCCREARY
Associated Press
Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
— Eighteen years after
Gary Kubiak tried to
talk John Elway out of
retiring, the roles were
reversed.
The result was the
same.
“He put up his hand
and said, ‘Remember
when you did that to
me?” Elway recounted.
“I said, ‘Yeah, OK.’”
With that, Kubiak, 55,
left the NFL pressure
cooker over seasonlong health concerns,
stepping down from his
dream job Monday with
two years left on his
contract, a grateful family and a Super Bowl 50
ring.
In 1999, Elway’s
knees were shot after
leading Denver to backto-back Lombardi Trophies, so when Mike
Shanahan dispatched
his offensive coordinator to try to change his
quarterback’s mind, Elway told Kubiak not to
waste his breath but to
have a seat and chase
some beers with him instead.
Their paths crossed
again two years ago
when Elway, now the
Broncos GM, lured Kubiak back to Denver a
little more than a year
after Kubiak had suffered a mini-stroke and
collapsed at halftime of
a game while coaching
the Houston Texans.
Kubiak had another
health scare in October when he suffered a
complex migraine and
had to take a week off
work. He lightened his
load for a while but he’s
just not wired that way.
Anyway, Kubiak said
that was just one episode in a season-long
grind that convinced
him it’s time to move
on.
“I’m doing great,
I’m OK,” he said at a
news conference where
he choked up several
times. “But coaching is
a very demanding business, a tough business
and I’ve struggled bigtime this year. I’m going
to find something else
to do.”
And Elway will find
another coach, his third
in his six seasons as
GM.
Kubiak
summoned
Elway to his hotel
room in Kansas City
on Christmas Eve, 24
hours before the Broncos (9-7) would get
bounced from the playoff chase just 11 months
after winning it all.
“He said I want to talk
to you as a friend, not
my boss. And that’s how
we talked,” Elway said,
adding that he wasn’t
surprised when Kubiak
told him he was going
to step down after the
season whether or not
Associated Press
Gary Kubiak reacts at a news conference Monday
as he steps down as head coach of the Denver
Broncos because of health concerns.
“Gary will always be missed, but I
am excited about the opportunity
with some people out there that
have the chance to come in here
and be right in lockstep with what
we want to do.”
— John Elway,
Denver Broncos general manager
they made the playoffs.
“I can’t tell you how
many times I thought
about putting my boss
hat back on and put my
selling process back in
there so we could try to
make it work,” Elway
said.
Players were disheartened to say goodbye to Kubiak but expressed confidence in
Elway finding the right
replacement.
“He’s the king of the
comeback, on and off
the field,” linebacker
Von Miller said.
Elway said there are
several young candidates he’s eager to interview, suggesting he’d be
more inclined to go with
a young up-and-comer
such as Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle
Shanahan — Mike’s
son — and not another
veteran like Kubiak or
John Fox, Elway’s first
hire in 2011.
“Obviously,
there’s
a lot of young guys out
there that have a lot of
potential and are very
bright, young guys,”
Elway said. “So, hopefully we can get one of
those.”
Elway said nobody
on the current staff is
a candidate to replace
Kubiak but he’s hopeful
the new coach will keep
some assistants such as
defensive coordinator
Wade Phillips, whose
contract is up.
The new head coach
will inherit a dominant
defense, upgraded offensive and defensive
lines that Elway promised to fix again this
offseason and a quarterback competition between Trevor Siemian
and Paxton Lynch.
Developing the young
QBs will be a major part
of the job description.
“For me, and having
played the game, I know
how important the relationship is to have with
the quarterback,” Elway
said.
Elway said his top
priority is keeping his
defense top-notch while
trying to get his offense
to the same level.
“We’ve got to get better offensively,” he said.
“We’ve got to compete
better offensively and
say you know what, we
carry half of this load
and we can’t rely on that
defense.”
A melancholy Elway
said he’ll miss his longtime sidekick both personally and professionally.
“But I’m happy for
Gary. I know how hard
it was for him to make
that decision,” Elway
said. “Gary will always
be missed, but I am excited about the opportunity with some people
out there that have the
chance to come in here
and be right in lockstep
with what we want to
do.”
As for his own energy
levels, Elway said he’s
still driven to lead Denver’s front office. Team
President Joe Ellis said
he’s been in talks to extend Elway’s contract,
which has a year remaining.
“Challenges
excite
me,” Elway said. “That’s
what it’s about. You
adjust. Things are going to happen good and
bad. It’s all about adjusting and this game
is about adjusting. The
goal and the plan have
not changed and that
is to compete for world
championships.
We
were there a year ago
and there’s no reason
why we can’t get back
there soon again.”
Louisville’s Pitino scheduled for
appearance on Calipari’s podcast
Associated Press
LEXINGTON — Kentucky coach
John Calipari says he will have Louisville archrival Rick Pitino as an upcoming guest on his podcast.
The Wildcats coach did not specify
during his weekly radio show Monday night when the previously-taped
talk with Pitino would air.
Calipari began “Cal Cast” last
month and has had fellow Hall of
Famers such as Charles Barkley and
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski as
guests.
His announcement of a 45-minute
talk with Pitino was stunning considering the sometimes-tense relationship between him and his Cardinals
counterpart — who led the Wildcats
to an NCAA championship in 1996
before guiding Louisville to the 2013
title.
Said Calipari, “my wife (Ellen) even
said, ‘No, you didn’t,’ and I said, ‘yes,
I did.’”
This exchange could be as eagerly
anticipated in the Bluegrass State as
the annual meeting between the storied programs. Louisville defeated
Kentucky 73-70 last month.
Louisville: The Cardinals remained
winless at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

percent, was just 2 for 12 from long

three nationally ranked teams in less

it with what passes as off nights for
their two best players: Brown and
Greenwell were a combined 8 for 24

thank Coach Saban, the
staff, and all the players and fans for the past
three years at UA for an
unforgettable time and
championship run. Roll
Tide!”
Saban hired Kiffin
months after his firing at
USC. The position gave
him the chance to revitalize his career.

Maye to reserve/future contracts.
Three more feel the NFL ax
BY BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
On Sunday, while other
franchises were scrambling to make the playoffs
or improve their postseason standing, the coaching carousel spun wildly in
California.
With Jeff Fisher already
canned in Los Angeles,
Chip Kelly in San Francisco and Mike McCoy in
San Diego became unemployed within an hour of
each other.
Both moves were predictable, as was the release
of Trent Baalke in San
Francisco, whose success
as a GM with the 49ers
now, it’s clear, was dependent on how Jim Harbaugh molded and improved the players Baalke
gave him.
Baalke won a power
struggle with Harbaugh,
who headed to Michigan.
The Niners became historically bad without him,
and Baalke’s choice of
Kelly to work with such a
weak roster looks worse
than hiring caretaker Jim
Tomsula after Harbaugh
left. At least Tomsula went
5-11, three more victories
than Kelly managed.
Indeed, his only wins in
a 2-14 record came against
the Rams, so maybe LA
owner Stan Kroenke will
turn to Kelly.
Don’t count on it.
“Despite my feelings
for Trent and Chip, I felt
the decision to change
our football leadership
was absolutely necessary,” 49ers CEO Jed York
said in a statement. “The
performance of this team
has not lived up to my
expectations or those of
our fans, and that is truly
disappointing. We all expected to see this team
progress and develop as
the season went on, but
unfortunately that did not
happen. That is why now
is the time to find a new
direction for this team.”
The new direction for
the Chargers looks like it
will be north a bit to become a tenant of Kroenke
and the Rams in the new
Inglewood, California palace that will open in a few
years.
McCoy’s team lost its
last five games and finished second for two
straight seasons in the
tough AFC West. Injuries
tore it apart, too, but with
the focus on whether the
Chargers would move to
LA, it was hard to judge
what kind of job McCoy
was doing.
Apparently
Chargers
chairman Dean Spanos
wants a totally fresh start
when the club abandons
its long-time home.
Which means both of
the new teams in Los Angeles, which was without
the NFL since 1995 until
the Rams moved back
last year, will be riding the
coaching carousel.
Usually, the axings take
place the day after the
regular season concludes.
Except, of course, for the
teams in a rush to get into
the personnel market extra early, which in ‘16 were
the Jaguars (Gus Bradley),
Rams (Fisher) and Bills
(Rex Ryan).
More moves could be
coming, too. Is Chuck Pagano safe in Indianapolis?
Might the Saints do something with Sean Payton?
What about Bears coach
John Fox?
Safe for another year
are Todd Bowles and
Mike Maccagnan, who
the Jets are bringing back.
And Cleveland coach Hue
Jackson, despite a 1-15 record. And Marvin Lewis
despite the meltdown in
Cincinnati.
The saddest news comes
from Denver.
Never was there a question about Gary Kubiak
returning after leading
the Broncos to their Super
Bowl win last February.
But Kubiak’s health issues

Sunday’s game against

fired shortly after the
game.
forced him to step aside,
disappointing fans, players and John Elway alike.
“We love Kube, we love
how he treated us,” said
cornerback Aqib Talib.
“We pray he gets healthy.”
Denver won’t have any
trouble filling Kubiak’s
spot. One of the hot candidates, for example, is
Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, son
of Mike Shanahan, who
coached Elway to two Super Bowl championships.
Given how well Kubiak
fit in the Broncos’ family,
such a hire makes a lot of
sense.
Then again, sensibility
isn’t always a criteria in
NFL coaching circles.

Horoscopes
TUESDAY, JAN. 3, 2017
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Take note of what others do
and say. Take care of your
responsibilities quickly and
without complaining or making a fuss.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Give back and the rewards
you receive will lead you in
a new and interesting direction. Getting together with
people from your past will be
a reminder to enjoy life and
to reach out to others more
often.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Someone you thought you
could count on will disappoint you. Look for alterna-
tive ways to get what you
want. A partnership based
on equality can help you turn
your life around.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Partnerships will help you
reach your goals faster. Collaborate with someone who
is heading in a similar direction as you. Express your
thoughts and don’t be afraid
to do things differently. Personal improvements are encouraged.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Size
up what’s going on around
you. Listen carefully and
make a point to align yourself with people who share
your point of view. Taking a
new direction or changing
the way you do things will
help you bypass a no-win
situation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Deal with personal financial,
domestic or relationship
issues that require your attention. It’s best to smooth
things over quickly and move
on to the activities and decisions that will improve your
home, family and love life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Keep an open mind and be
willing to listen to suggestions, but don’t feel pressured to make a hasty decision if you aren’t thoroughly
convinced it’s in your best
interest. Learn from past experience.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Bring about positive
changes at home and your
relationships with the people
you care about will improve.
A lifestyle change will improve your disposition and
give you something to look
forward to.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Stick close to
home. Don’t do anything to
aggravate a situation that is
out of control. Focus on your
professional gains and avoid
discord with peers, friends,
neighbors or relatives.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): It’s OK to dream. As
long as you stick to what
you know and do your best
without going over budget,
you will come out a winner.
Delays or hidden costs will
be an issue if you aren’t well
prepared and organized.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Make personal changes
that will help build your confidence and prepare you to
bring about the changes that
will improve your life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Take advantage of any
opportunity that enables you
to use charm, insight and
past experiences to get what
you want.

Living independently should be enjoyable
Dear Annie: I moved
out and started living
on my own several years
ago, and I have fallen in
love with living independently. However, over
the years, my parents’
insistence that I move
back near home has increased. Despite being
only an hour away by
plane (about 300 miles),
they insist that I “need
to be within driving distance in case anything
happens.”
My parents are both
still working and by no
means need to be cared
for. If they do need to be
cared for when they’re
older, I will probably
move back closer to
them. I’m an only child.
But right now, the
guilt tripping is getting out of hand, and
it makes me enjoy my
phone calls with them
less.
Lately, I don’t feel like
calling them much, but
that bums me out, too.
How do I let my parents know that I need to
be on my own without
hurting their feelings? —
Child Forever
Dear Child: As annoying as it might
be, you will always
be their little girl,
and I’m sure they
are just missing you.
Don’t let them make
you feel guilty. You
might point out to
them that they did
Dear Annie
such a great job raising you that you have
the self-confidence
to live independently
and start your own
life. You’re only 300
miles away — which,
by the way, is driving distance — so
perhaps plan a few
more trips home
this year. And who
knows? If you decide
to have kids someday, you might want
to be close to home
so Grandma and
Grandpa can help
with baby-sitting.
Dear Annie: This is in
response to last month’s
letter from “Dog Lover,”
who wants to get another dog but can’t because
his wife has refused.
I can understand the
wife’s position. I have
been married for over
53 years and have had
many cats and dogs as
pets in the household.
Granted, I have been
the one to bring them
home, but I have also
been the one who has
done all the caretaking.
My animals have always
been trained and welltreated.
My husband has en-
joyed them all but has
never put the time in. I
have to do the work necessary to have a healthy,
happy pet.
A dog is like a child.
Someone has to train
it (which most people
don’t even know how to
do) feed it, give it quality time, clean up after
it, take it to see a doctor,
be prepared to expend
large amounts of money
on it if necessary, groom
it, keep it clean and,
most of all, love it like a
family member.
Many people get pets
and then, after a while,
totally drop the ball, ignoring or even abusing
it. Then it’s off to the
pound or thrown out of
a car on a back road.
I suggest that this man
volunteer at a shelter.
When the right animal
comes along, he can
invite his wife to meet
it, and they can decide
together whether they
want the responsibility
of a pet and discuss who
would be responsible for
what.
If they decide together
it’s the right thing to do
for them, then they can
give a needy furry friend
a home.
All my pets have been
rescue animals, and they
have all been wonderful
family pets. — Mary

Company rejects ‘Rogue One’ continues box office reign
Carey’s concert
sabotage claims
nominee has grossed
$37 million and yet is
playing in only 750 theaters. (Wider releases
play in 3,000-plus theaters.) It’s the year’s top
limited release title.

Associated Press
NEW YORK — Dick
Clark Productions is
hitting back against
Mariah Carey’s claim it
sabotaged her live performance on its “New
Year’s Rockin’ Eve” special.
Carey’s disaster during
the annual New Year’s
Eve special in Times
Square made international headlines: The superstar vocally stumbled
through her short set,
failing to sing for most of
it despite a pre-recorded
track of her songs playing in the background.
Carey was visibly upset during the performance and afterward
tweeted
“(expletive)
happens.” Her representative Nicole Perna
blamed technical difficulties, and in an interview with Billboard she
said Dick Clark Productions hampered Carey’s
performance.
“She was not winging
this moment and took
it very seriously,” Perna
told Billboard. “A shame
that production set her
up to fail.”
Perna said Carey’s
earpiece wasn’t working
and she flagged the issue to the production
team but was told it
would be OK when she
got on stage.
“However, that was
not the case, and they
were again told that
her earpiece was not
working,” Perna said.
“Instead of endeavoring to fix the issue so
that Mariah could perform, they went live.”
In a statement released on Sunday, the
production company
called such claims “absurd.”
“As the premier
producer of live television
events
for
nearly 50 years, we
pride ourselves on our
reputation and longstanding relationships
with artists,” it said.
“To suggest that dcp
(Dick Clark Productions), as producer of
music shows including the American Music Awards, Billboard
Music Awards, New
Year’s Rockin’ Eve and
Academy of Country
Music Awards, would
ever
intentionally
compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous
and frankly absurd.”
NEW YORK — The
new year at the box office is starting where
2016 left off: with Disney on top.
The “Star Wars” spinoff “Rogue One” led the
box office for the third
straight week, taking in
an estimated $64.3 million over the four-day
New Year’s weekend,
according to studio estimates Monday.
The success of Gareth
Edwards’ “Rogue One”
has only further cemented a record year for the
Walt Disney Co., which
ran up $2.7 billion in
domestic ticket sales in
2016 and accounted for
more than 25 percent of
the market.
“Rogue One,” which
has now grossed about
$440 million in North
America and nearly
$800 million globally,
currently slots in as the
year’s No. 2 movie, following “Finding Dory”
(also from Disney). The
studio notched four of
the five top films and
has, in a year marked
by franchise struggles,
made a routine of churning out well-reviewed,
hugely profitable blockbusters.
The weekend pushed
the industry to $11.4
billion in ticket sales in
2016, topping the $11.1
billion record set in
2015. The record revenue, propelled primar-
Queen Elizabeth II misses New

LONDON — Queen
Elizabeth II missed a
traditional New Year’s
Day church service Sunday because of the effects of a lingering cold.
Buckingham Palace
said the queen “does not
yet feel ready to attend
church as she is still recuperating from a heavy
cold.” There was no indication she is suffering
from a more serious illness.
It was unusual for
Elizabeth not to attend
the service, long part
of her New Year’s Day
routine. The inclement weather may have
been a contributing factor in her decision to
stay indoors. It was cold
with a steady rain in the

of London where the
queen maintains a private estate called Sandringham.

largely flat. Streaming

Some glaring failures

The poorly reviewed

‘M.A.S.H.’ star William
Christopher dies at 84
“M.A.S.H.” star William Christopher has died. He was 84.
Christopher’s agent Robert Malcom said the actor died at 5:10
a.m. Saturday at his home in Pasadena, California. He tells The Associated Press that Christopher’s wife
says her husband died peacefully.
Malcom said Christopher was
diagnosed with cancer more than a

since the beginning of the week.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and his two sons.
Christopher is best known for the
role of Father Francis Mulcahy on
“M.A.S.H.,” the 1970s TV show set
during the Korean War.
“Everyone adored him,” said fellow “M.A.S.H.” actor Loretta Swit.
“A great sense of humor and a
great humanitarian. He became
TV’s quintessential padre as Father
Mulcahy on M.A.S.H. It was the

The idea for an African-American museum
started more than 100 years ago. At a reunion
of Union Army soldiers in Washington in
1915, black veterans organized an association
to build a monument.
Just as organizers were getting approval
from Congress and starting to raise money, the
stock market crashed in October 1929. The
Great Depression followed, and although the
dream of a museum continued, other projects
were completed while the African-American
museum waited for decades.
Finally, in 2003, Congress and President
George W. Bush approved a bill to build it.
The bronze metal
latticework on the outside
of the building was inspired
by black ironworkers and
their designs for fences,
gates and other metal
building decorations in New
Orleans and Charleston,
South Carolina.
A few floors up, museum visitors
examine how the place where someone
lives shapes his or her life. Exhibits show
life for African-Americans in small towns
and big cities from the 1800s onward.
While black Americans were not always
allowed to compete in professional sports,
an exhibit called “Leveling the Playing
Field” tells the stories of black athletes from
Jackie Robinson to Gabby Douglas.
Culture
Inside the museum
In the “Cultural
Expressions”
galleries, the
Louis Armstrong’s
museum displays trumpet
jazz musician
Louis Armstrong’s trumpet and Michael
Jackson’s black fedora (hat), along with
paintings, sculptures, folk art and more.
Below ground level, the museum has three
levels that explore slavery, segregation and the
Civil Rights movement. These exhibits show
what ordinary people experienced as slaves
and immediately after the Civil War, all the
way up to the movement against segregation in
the South in the 1950s and ’60s.
Building the museum
NMAAHC officials had many things
to consider about the structure for the
museum. The site was chosen on five acres
near the Washington Monument. It had to be
constructed within a specific budget. And it
had to be a “green” building. Many architects
and engineers submitted their ideas.
The winning design was by architect

Have you ever visited Washington, D.C.?
If so, you probably explored some of the
museums along the National Mall between
the Capitol and the Washington Monument.
In September, a new museum opened on
the Mall. The National Museum of African
American History and Culture (NMAAHC)
lies close to the Washington Monument. It will
be the last museum to be built on the Mall.
A Certificate of
Freedom is stored

Joseph Trammell

Raiders, Texans not first with QB problems
BY EDDIE PELLS
Associated Press
Associated Press
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski yells to his
players during Saturday’s game at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Va. Virginia Tech won 89-75.
Duke coach
taking leave
Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — Hall
of Fame Duke coach Mike
Krzyzewski is stepping
away from the team to
have lower back surgery.
The school announced
Monday the procedure
is scheduled for Friday,
with an anticipated recovery time of four weeks.
Krzyzewski will coach
Wednesday night’s game
against Georgia Tech before handing off to associate head coach Jeff Capel
for Saturday’s home game
against Boston College.
Krzyzewski, 69, will
have a fragment of a
herniated disk removed
at Duke University Hospital. The school says
Krzyzewski tried several
treatment options during
the past month before deciding on surgery.
Krzyzewski said in a
statement he consulted
with the university’s medical team and “together,
we have determined that
surgery is the best course
of action at this time.” He
says the Blue Devils will
“be in the capable hands”
of Capel and assistants
Nate James and Jon
Scheyer.
“As soon as the doctors
clear me to do so, I look
forward to returning and
giving our team 100 (percent) of my energy and attention, which is certainly
something that they deserve,” he said.
The winningest men’s
coach in Division I history
had four surgeries during
the offseason to replace
his left knee, repair his
left ankle and fix a hernia.
“Mike’s health is paramount, and he will get
the best possible care in
the world by the Duke
medical team,” Duke athletic director Kevin White
said.
Capel — a former Duke
guard who went 175-110
in nine years coaching at
Virginia Commonwealth
and Oklahoma — took
over for Krzyzewski for
Duke’s February game
against Georgia Tech.
DENVER — Connor
Cook is an untested rookie. Brock Osweiler may
have a feeling he’s been
here before.
The Raiders and Texans square off Saturday
in a playoff game that
might be called The Quarterback Bowl. As in, both
these teams are on uncharted roads with their
QBs, and neither heads
into the week of practice
knowing exactly who is
going to be taking snaps.
Cook entered for Oakland in Sunday’s 24-6
loss against Denver after
second-stringer Matt McGloin left with a shoulder
injury. If McGloin, who
was starting for the already injured Derek Carr,
can’t go next week, Cook
would become the first
quarterback in the Super Bowl era to make his
first NFL start in a playoff
game.
Osweiler could make
his first playoff start, a
development that seemed
improbable a short year
ago when he led the
Broncos to the brink of
the playoffs. So much has
changed. On a roll after
taking over for an injured
Peyton Manning, he got
benched for Manning in
Denver’s season finale
last year, never to return.
Osweiler signed with
Houston in the offseason,
but got benched there,
too. And just when the
Texans appeared settled
on Tom Savage, Savage
left Sunday’s game with a
concussion and Osweiler
took over.
Who goes when the
playoffs start?
“We’ll talk about that
tomorrow and the next
day,” coach Bill O’Brien
said after Sunday’s 24-17
loss to the Titans.
By those standards, the
Dolphins seem stable,
even though Matt Moore
is also set to make his first
playoff start when Miami
travels to Pittsburgh for
Sunday’s game. Moore
took over for the injured
Ryan Tannehill in Week
14. He is 2-1 as a starter
this year, including Sunday’s 35-14 loss to New
England.
So, while it looks like
this season’s playoffs
will go down as some of
the strangest ever in the
quarterbacking department, it’s hardly the first
time. A look at some unusual situations from
years past:
KAEPERNICK REPLACES SMITH — Let’s start
with a success story. In
2012, 49ers quarterback
Alex Smith went down
in midseason with a concussion, to be replaced
by a not-yet-famous
second-year quarterback
named Colin Kaepernick.
The league hadn’t seen
a quarterback quite like
Kaepernick to that point
and it showed. He led the
Niners to a 5-2 record
down the stretch and into
the playoffs on a roll. He
ran for 181 yards in his
playoff debut and took
San Francisco all the way
to the Super Bowl, where
he joined Joe Montana
as the only quarterbacks
to pass for 300 yards and
rush for 50 in the title
game. The Niners lost to
Baltimore, and nothing
has been the same since.
Kaepernick has struggled

LINDLEY FOR STANTON
FOR
PALMER — Ryan Lindley spent
a good portion of the 2014
season on San Diego’s
Associated Press
Houston Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler
(17) passes as guard Oday Aboushi (78) blocks
Tennessee Titans nose tackle Antwaun Woods
(75) in the first half of Sunday’s game in Nashville, Tenn.
practice squad. The Cardinals, who had originally
drafted Lindley in 2012,
picked him back up after
their top two quarterbacks, Carson Palmer and
Drew Stanton, each went
down. That left Lindley at
the controls for a playoff
game against Carolina.
It didn’t go well. Lindley
threw two interceptions
in a 27-16 loss. The Panthers allowed 78 yards,
the fewest given up in a
playoff game. Arizona
coach Bruce Arians on his
QB’s play: “I thought he
did great up until the first
interception.”
SPEAKING OF PALMER — Though Jon Kitna
doesn’t get credit for a
start in the 2005 playoffs,
he played virtually the entire game for Cincinnati.
Steelers nose tackle Kimo
von Oelhoffen rolled into
Palmer’s knee on his first
pass of the playoffs and
knocked him from the
game. Kitna took over
and threw for 197 yards
and two interceptions and
the Bengals lost 31-17.
AND SPEAKING OF
HOUSTON — T.J. Yates
became the Texans starter in 2011 after both Matt
Schaub and Matt Leinart

went down. Yates actually led Houston to its
first playoff victory, then
its first playoff loss the
next week. Maybe most
significant about that season and those changes is
that the Texans haven’t
had stability at the quarterback position since.
Osweiler was supposed to
bring that (at a cost of $72
million over for years),
but his benching in Week
15 of this year scuttled
that plan.
PEYTON MANNING,
A BACKUP — Which
brings us full circle. On
Jan. 3, 2016, Peyton
Manning suited up as
a backup quarterback
for the first time in his
NFL career. That lasted
barely more than a half.
The Broncos were trailing San Diego 13-7, and
though Osweiler wasn’t
particularly the problem, coach Gary Kubiak
went with his gut and
inserted Manning. The
Broncos rallied for a win,
got home-field advantage in the playoffs and
Manning was no longer
the backup. He led the
Broncos to the title, and
Osweiler moved on to
Houston.
