Anderson Varejao won't request a trade from Cleveland Cavaliers, despite being stuck on the bench

Seldom-used Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao tells cleveland.com he has not requested a trade and says he will not do so.

DALLAS, Texas - Seldom-used Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao told cleveland.com he has not requested a trade and says he will not do so.

"If I go anywhere else and win a championship, it's not going to be the same," he said. "I want to win a championship in Cleveland. That's where I want to stay. I love Cleveland."

The 33-year-old big man has seen a dramatic reduction in his playing time this season. His statistics all across the board are the lowest of his 12-year career. He has not seen action in eight of his last 10 games.

Despite being fully recovered from an Achilles' tendon injury he suffered last year, he hasn't been able to crack the rotation.

"Of course, it's not easy," Varejao said. "It's a different season for me. I said at the beginning of the season that my goal was to stay healthy and help this team. I'm not getting a lot of playing time, but I know the season is a long season. We still have the playoffs coming and anything can happen. I just have to stay ready and help the team when coach needs me."

His focus on the postseason is telling in that he believes he'll still be a Cavalier after the Feb. 18 trade deadline. Following this season, Varejao will have two years left on his contract. The 2016-17 season of $10.3 million is partially guaranteed and the 2017-18 season of $10 million is non-guaranteed.

Those parameters are enticing for teams that would be looking to shed some salary.

The Cavaliers have received some inquiries about his services, but the big man is hoping that's the extent of it. Varejao said management has not approached him to gauge his thoughts on the probability of being moved. He said if they did, he would respond, "No. I want to be here."

But why rot on the bench if you feel you're capable of producing at a high level?

"Because Cleveland's been loyal to me and I've been loyal to the team," he responded. "I had a chance to leave when the team was really bad, going through a rebuilding process when we were losing almost every other game, and it was tough. I said, 'I'm not leaving Cleveland. I want to win a championship in Cleveland' and I know now we have a chance.

"It's a long season. Like I said, it's not easy. It's not what I want. For me personally, I would like to play a little bit, but we're a pretty deep team and we're winning. So, I just have to stay professional and wait for my chance."

He almost had his chance during Sunday's 95-85 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Center Timofey Mozgov had the worst couple of minutes of his season in closing out the first half. Mozgov did not play in the second half. It looked like the door would open for Varejao to make an appearance, but it never occurred.

Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love and LeBron James handled all the frontcourt duties. Head coach David Blatt pondered the idea of inserting Varejao, but didn't venture beyond that.

"You know you're always thinking about everything," Blatt said. "You should. That's what we do. We think about everything."

With Mozgov struggling mightily, it might be time for "The Wild Thing" to get his number called. But if Blatt doesn't give him the nod, Varejao said he doesn't want to be anywhere but Cleveland.

"For him, he's a professional and he's been the most positive, best teammate we got," James said. "...It's been a tough year for him for sure just coming back from an Achilles injury, and now not getting an opportunity to play as much as he would like...He's working on his game every day just in case he gets the call, and that's all you can ask out of a professional."

Maryland offers QB Devon Modster: What that means for Ohio State's pursuit of Dwayne Haskins

In recruiting, sometimes you an anticipate a switch before it happens by watching a program's offer patterns. What does this one mean?

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Maryland offered three-star quarterback Devin Modster of Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif.) Tesoro a scholarship on Monday, which could mean the Terrapins aren't confident they'll be able to hold onto their current quarterback commitment. 

That current quarterback commitment is Dwayne Haskins of Potomac (Md.) The Bullis School. 

Does that name sound familiar? 

Ohio State is recruiting Haskins to be its quarterback in the 2016 class, so that Maryland is offering another player at his position could be an indication of the way things are trending. 

In recruiting, sometimes you an anticipate a switch before it happens by watching a program's offer patterns. 

Ohio State got back involved with Haskins while still having a commitment from four-star quarterback Tristen Wallace of DeSoto, Texas. Sure enough, Wallace flipped to Oregon as a wide receiver soon after. 

Rated the No. 7 pro-style quarterback in the 2016 class in the 247Sports composite rankings, Haskins officially visited Ohio State on Dec. 11 shortly after Wallace flipped. Haskins is scheduled to officially visit LSU on Jan. 15, but he's also considering the Buckeyes, Florida and Texas A&M. 

Maryland's offer to Modster doesn't mean that Haskins is flip to Ohio State is definitely coming. It just means that Terrapins are covering their bases at quarterback while Haskins looks around. 

The Buckeyes are a tough place for Maryland to beat, sure, but so are Florida, Texas A&M and LSU. 

Right now, though, Haskins has to be considered Ohio State's top recruiting priority as it puts the finishing touches on its 2016 class because he's a quarterback.

The Indians have parted ways with Ramon Pena, the organization's director of Latin American operations.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians have parted ways with Ramon Pena, the organization's director of Latin American operations.

Pena had a hand in the Indians' scouting endeavors in Latin America since 2009. Baseball America first reported the split.

"Over the course of the past month, Ramon and I have had numerous and extensive conversations about the future direction of our Latin American operations," Chris Antonetti, the Indians' president of baseball operations, told cleveland.com. "Based upon those discussions, we both felt that it would be best to part ways at this point.

"Ramon has made a great impact on the organization in his time with us. He's an outstanding and accomplished scout, executive and leader. We all wish Ramon the very best as he continues his distinguished career."

The Indians have not yet named a replacement for Pena.

A handful of the Indians' top 30 prospects, as ranked by MLB.com, were signed under Pena's watch. They include catcher Francisco Mejia, pitcher Luis Lugo, second baseman Claudio Bautista and third baseman Yandy Diaz.

Baseball America also revealed its latest list of the Tribe's top 10 prospects for the new year on Monday. Outfielders Bradley Zimmer and Clint Frazier, who could both begin the season at Double-A Akron, lead the unit. Left-handed pitchers Brady Aiken and Justus Sheffield follow. Right-hander Michael Clevinger, who figures to open the season with Triple-A Columbus, checks in at No. 7.

The Indians unveiled their organizational staffing for the 2016 campaign on Monday. The managers at Triple-A Columbus, Double-A Akron and High-A Lynchburg will all remain the same, with Chris Tremie, Dave Wallace and Mike Budzinski maintaining their posts. Bruce Chen and Tim Laker have returned to the organization as a cultural development coordinator and the Double-A hitting coach, respectively.

Browns still very interested in Hue Jackson, but they've made no offer and like other candidates too

$

Hue Jackson could know his fate in the next day or two. The Browns are very interested, but so are the 49ers. The Giants hope to interview him too.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns remain very interested in Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, but a report Monday night by NFL Network they were ready to "close it out'' was premature, two league sources told cleveland.com.

The Browns have yet to make an offer for Jackson, and they haven't informed his camp yet that they're ready to do so.

In fact, the Browns are interested in multiple candidates that they've interviewed. Ian Rapoport reported that the Browns are set to make a big push for Jackson and poised to "close it out'' but they weren't quite there yet as of Monday night.

Furthermore, there has been no discussion -- at least yet -- of giving Jackson a large say in personnel matters, which was also reported by Rapoport. Currently, Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown has control of the 53-man roster, meaning he has final say over the draft and free agency.

Meanwhile, the 49ers are still very much in the mix for Jackson, and the New York Giants have received permission to interview him. In one of the bigger surprises of the day, the 49ers have also received the green light to interview former Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who talked to the Eagles on Monday.

As of Monday night, Jackson still planned to go through with his Giants interview, but it hasn't yet been scheduled. That could change, of course, if the Browns or 49ers get serious about hiring him.

Teams are often reluctant to present an offer until they're sure the candidate will say yes. In the case of Jackson, he's interested in all three teams and will  seriously consider any and all offers, one of the sources said.

Jackson's good friend Michael Silver of NFL Network tweeted Monday night "Hue's totally interested in Cleveland, SF and NYG jobs...it's been a long four years-- wants an NFL HC opportunity.''

He predicted Jackson's situation would be resolved in the next 24-48 hours.

Throwing a monkeywrench into the Jackson sweepstakes is the fact that all of the owners -- including Jimmy Haslam -- are headed to Houston for an important NFL owners' meeting Tuesday and Wednesday. The clubs will likely vote on which team or teams will relocate to Los Angeles. Candidates are the Rams, Chargers and Raiders.

ESPN.com reported that the Giants might fly Jackson to Houston for the interview with owner John Mara, who's on the Los Angeles committee and a key figure in the meetings.

The Browns also interviewed Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott on Sunday morning and liked him, a source said.  Panthers coach Ron Rivera told the Charlotte Observer Monday that McDermott felt good about his weekend interviews with both the Browns and Bucs.

 "We visited a little bit and he felt very comfortable and confident with what he did,'' Rivera said. "He said the best thing now is we have the opportunity to focus in on Seattle (in the NFC Divisional round)."

Of the seven interviews they Browns have conducted since Wednesday, only former Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase has been eliminated. He took the Dolphins job on Saturday after interviewing with several teams, including the Giants and Eagles.  He was the Browns' first interview and was believed to be one of their top targets, if not their No. 1 overall.

Fox Sports reported that another of the Browns' candidates, Cowboys defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson, was set to join Gase in Miami, but that hasn't happened yet. He reportedly told his bosses in Dallas that the his meeting with the Browns went well on Friday.

The other Browns interviews were as follows: Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, Jacksonville assistant head coach Doug Marrone, and Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.

If the Browns really liked Patricia or McDermott, they might have to wait awhile. Both are in the playoffs and could go far. If either or both make the Super Bowl, the Browns would have to wait until after the game Feb. 7 in the San Francisco Bay Area to hire them.

Related: John DeFilippo asked to stay, Jim O'Neil and Chris Tabor were not

If they really like a candidate, it's probably worth the wait. They had a chance to hire former Seahawks defensive coordinator and current Falcons head coach Dan Quinn two years ago, but didn't want to wait until after the Super Bowl. They hired Mike Pettine instead, who went 10-22 in his two seasons.

Quinn, who went 8-8 in his first season with the Falcons this year, told cleveland.com after the Super Bowl that year that he would've taken the Browns job had it been offered to him.

In other coaching news, a source told cleveland.com that John DeFilippo was among four Browns assistants who were asked to remain in Cleveland if the new coach wants them. Not included were defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil and special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, who spent five seasons with the club.

The others asked to stay were quarterbacks coach Kevin O'Connell, secondary coach Jeff Hafley and assistant secondary coach Aaron Glenn.

Another head coach job could some up soon, creating even more competition for the top candidates. Lions coach Jim Caldwell has been put on notice that his job is on the line.

So, the Browns might have their man in a day or two -- or it could take weeks.

The Lake Erie Monsters rolled past the Manitoba Moose on Monday, 7-3.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The Lake Erie Monsters exploded for six goals in the final two periods enroute to a 7-3 victory over the Manitoba Moose in an American Hockey League game Monday in MTS Centre.

With the victory, the Monsters improved to 19-2-2-3 and are now 5-0-0 against Manitoba this season. The Moose dropped to 10-20-1-3.

Brad Thiessen improved to 2-0-1 in five appearances for the Monsters, stopping 24 of 27 shots. Michael Chaput had a goal and two assists for Lake Erie, Joe Devin had two goals and Sonny Milano and Trent Vogelhuber each had a goal and an assist.

The Monsters outshot the Moose, 35-27, and killed six of seven Manitoba power plays.

Lake Erie got on the board at 14:31 of the first period when Vogelhuber scored his sixth goal of the season off an assist by Chaput.

Manitoba tied it with just 19 seconds remaining in the first on a goal by Matt Halischuk, but the Monsters responded with two goals in the second period.

Chaput got his eighth of the season at 7:04 to make it 2-1, then Daniel Zaar scored his 10th with 1:14 left in the second for a 3-1 lead.

The Monsters continued their run in a wild third period. Milano scored his fifth goal of the season at 3:13 and just 1:01 later Jamie Sifers scored his fourth.

Paul Postma got one back for Manitoba on a power play at 10:39, but just 29 seconds later Devin scored his fourth. Eleven seconds after that, Jiri Fronk scored for Manitoba and it was 6-3.

Devin then scored his second of the night on an empty-netter at 17:33 to close the scoring.

Roster move: On Monday morning the Monsters signed rookie defenseman Eric Roy to a 25-game tryout contract. Roy was a fifth-round pick by the Calgary Flames in the 2013 NHL Draft with the 135th overall pick. He has 10 goals, 25 points, 13 penalty minutes and a +2 rating in 34 appearances this season for the ECHL's Allen Americans.

Up next: The Monsters and Moose meet again here on Wednesday at 8. The Monsters 10-game road swing continues this weekend when they play at Grand Rapids on Friday at 7 and at Chicago on Saturday at 8. The road trip finally concludes next Monday in a 1 p.m. contest at Rockford, then the Monsters return to Quicken Loans Arena against Grand Rapids on Jan. 20 at 7.

Alabama beats Clemson 45-40, wins fourth national title in last seven seasons

No. 2 Alabama won its fourth national title in the last seven seasons, outlasting the dynamic play of Deshaun Watson and No. 1 Clemson in a 45-40 victory Monday night in the College Football Playoff championship game.

GLENDALE, Arizona (AP) -- Alabama needed it all to win the toughest national title game it had ever played during the Nick Saban dynasty. All of its power. All of its speed.

Even one gutsy trick.

Derrick Henry, O.J. Howard and Kenyan Drake hit No. 1 Clemson with huge plays, and Alabama outlasted the dynamic play of dual-threat quarterback Deshaun Watson to win the College Football Playoff championship 45-40 on Monday night.

The Crimson Tide (14-1) won its three previous championship game appearances in runaway fashion. This game was an instant classic -- and it turned on maybe the boldest call of Saban's career.

With 10:34 left in the fourth quarter and Alabama having just tied the game with a short field goal, Saban took a gamble to try to keep the ball away from Watson and the Tigers. He called for a high-bouncing onside kick that Tide defensive Marlon Humphrey caught over the shoulder at midfield.

Tide ball.

Moments later, Alabama also took back the lead. For the second time, Clemson (14-1) lost track of the tight end Howard in coverage and Jake Coker hit him in stride deep for a 51-yard touchdown to make it 31-24 with 9:45 left.

Clemson and Watson proved to be every bit Alabama's equal. The Tigers just kept coming.

Watson led Clemson to a field goal to make it 31-27, and boom! Another Alabama big play. Kenyan Drake broke free and streaked down the sideline for a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown.

Watson threw his third touchdown pass to make it 38-33 with 4:40 left, and then Alabama went back to its workhorse Heisman Trophy winner. Derrick Henry plunged into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game to make it 45-33 with 1:07 left.

Watson threw another touchdown pass, but would not get another chance. Clemson's onside kick went out of bounds. Coker took a knee and Alabama's dynasty was very much alive and well.

The Crimson Tide (14-1) became the second team in college football's poll era, dating back to 1936, to win four titles in seven seasons.

Alabama joins Notre Dame, which won four titles from 1943-49. For Saban, it is his fifth national championship -- four in his nine seasons at Alabama -- leaving him only one short of former Tide coach Bear Bryant for the most all-time.

Watson gave the Tide all it could handle, throwing for 405 yards and four touchdowns.

Hue Jackson's 2nd interview with Browns brings no offer; he'll meet with Giants Wednesday

The Browns interviewed Hue Jackson a second time Tuesday, but haven't made a decision yet on who they want to hire. He'll fly to New York Wednesday for his interview with the Giants, a source told cleveland.com.

CLEVELAND, Ohio --  Browns owner Jimmy Haslam flew to Cincinnati Tuesday for a second interview with Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, but left without making Jackson an offer.

Why? Because the Browns still like other candidates and haven't made a decision yet on who they prefer.

But the interview was important enough that Haslam skipped the landmark relocation meeting Tuesday in Houston, where owners voted to move the Rams from St. Louis back to Los Angeles.

Haslam's wife Dee, a co-owner of the team, attended the meetings and cast the Browns' vote. Haslam was one of only two principal owners who didn't attend the meeting. The other was Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk.

But Jackson didn't have much time to ponder Tuesday why the Browns didn't make him an offer after making the trip to see him a second time. By evening, he was already preparing for his next interview -- with the New York Giants.

Jackson, 50, will fly to New York on Wednesday to meet with Giants officials. With the relocation meeting wrapped up, Giants co-owner John Mara will likely be back in time to talk to Jackson, along with General Manager Jerry Reese.  

A source told cleveland.com that the Giants are serious about hiring Jackson. Giants co-owner Steve Tisch told Bob Glauber of Newsday that he thinks the team will resolve its coaching situation "by the end of the week.''

In New York, Jackson is up against Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, former Falcons coach Mike Smith, former Bills head coach Doug Marrone and Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin.

The 49ers, who interviewed Tom Coughlin on Tuesday, are not believed to be actively pursuing Jackson, according to the Mercury News. But a source said no one is out of the running yet because the teams that have interviewed Jackson still have vacancies.

The Browns and 49ers both interviewed Jackson on Sunday, but the 49ers went first and kept him for about five hours. The Browns, who had interviewed Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott that morning, spent less than four hours with Jackson  -- a day after his Bengals lost an emotional 18-16 Wild Card game to the Steelers.

Teams with vacancies are taking their time. With the owners meetings concluding and owners returning home, some might even add candidates to their lists.

Jackson was the last of seven candidates the Browns interviewed, and the only one they've talked to twice. But that doesn't mean they won't talk to others again. They still like a number of their candidates, and would need to wait to talk to two who are in the playoffs: Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott.

Because the Browns interviewed them once already, they can talk to them again in the week before the Super Bowl if either or both make it. It could be worth the wait. Two years ago, they had a chance to hire former Seahawks defensive coordinator and current Falcons coach Dan Quinn, but they didn't want to wait until after the Super Bowl.

Quinn told cleveland.com after the game that he would've taken the job had it been offered.

So the Browns were in no rush Tuesday to make Jackson an offer, and Jackson was in no rush to receive one, knowing that he had a date with the Giants coming up. With a stable organization which kept its last head coach for 12 years and a two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback in Eli Manning, the opportunity was too good for Jackson to pass up.

Would he have canceled his Giants interview had the Browns made him an offer? It remains to be seen, but they weren't prepared to do that just yet.

The Browns have also interviewed Adam Gase, who took the Dolphins job, Austin, Marrone, and Cowboys secondary coach Jerome Henderson. ESPN.com reported Tuesday that Henderson is staying in Dallas. It remains to be seen if the Browns will widen their search as Jackson huddles with the Giants and two of their other top targets prepare for their playoff games this weekend.

On Monday night,  Jackson's good friend Mike Silver of NFL.com tweeted "Hue's totally interested in Cleveland, SF and NYG jobs...it's been a long four years-- wants an NFL HC opportunity.''

He will likely get one soon. Question is, where will it be?

STVM football transition from Dan Boarman to Marcus Wattley had long been set in motion (photos)

Dan Boarman knew for some time he wanted Marcus Wattley to replace him. It was just a matter of when.

AKRON, Ohio – Dan Boarman regards John Cistone in the way new St. Vincent-St. Mary football coach Marcus Wattley looks up to Boarman.

Wattley played in high school at Copley for Boarman, who played at St. Vincent for Cistone.


Boarman announced Monday his retirement, and said Cistone told him he would know when to do so. Boarman also knew he wanted Wattley to take his place.


St. Vincent-St. Mary’s board of education agreed.


The announcements came together. Boarman told the team before the school released a letter in which the 63-year-old wrote about Cistone and announced Wattley’s promotion from defensive coordinator.


“After every season I re-evaluate myself and what I want to do,” said Boarman, whose Irish finished 11-2 as a Division III regional finalist. “Let’s be honest. I wasn’t going to stay there forever.”


He might try a little.


Boarman said he plans to stay involved in some capacity. His desire to spend more time with eight grandchildren pushed the decision. Boarman retired two years ago as a teacher at Copley, where he taught history, physical education and vocational education.


That’s where he met Wattley, a 2000 graduate and one of countless players mentored by Boarman during his 17-year stint as that school’s football coach.


“I lost my father at a young age and had no father figure except for my older brother,” Wattley said. “He stepped in when I was 14. I have nothing but love and admiration for him.”


To Boarman, those traits made Wattley his ideal successor.


“He’s also got good discipline and can put the hammer down when he needs to,” Boarman said.


St. Vincent-St. Mary didn’t even bother opening its job to outside candidates. The school owns five state football championships since 1981, including back-to-back titles in 2012 and ’13 with Boarman.


The outgoing coach finished 89-26 at STVM and 206-96 overall.


Boarman knew his school, even if it technically wasn’t his alma-mater. He graduated in 1970 from St. Vincent High School before St. Vincent-St. Mary merged in its place.


Wattley grew to learn the school. He was an assistant for Boarman at Copley before arriving at STVM with him in 2007. Wattley wanted to be a head coach. He thought sticking with Boarman would best help him, even if it meant leaving Copley.


These days, Wattley helps student-athletes pick colleges as an athletic advancement officer.


He plans to remain in charge of the defense. He’s overseen it for the last five seasons and picked up more duties along the way. Wattley helped Boarman with special teams, the weight-lifting program and monitoring players’ grades.


“He told me this is good practice for you,” Wattley said.


Boarman said he knew for a few years he’d suggest Wattley as a replacement. The retired coach stopped from saying he “handpicked” him, but there is a precedent at St. Vincent-St. Mary. Cistone’s bio on the football team website says he was “personally selected” by Eddie Wentz.


“When you have someone in house, why look elsewhere?” athletic director Willie McGee said.


Both McGee and Boarman picked Wattley’s energy as his top attribute. Boarman went so far to say the program needed “new blood.”


Players even pointed out to Wattley his fiery nature exceeded the head coach.


“I tell the guys you don’t know the Boarman I played for,” Wattley said. “When I first started playing, he got people going.”

The Akron Zips suffered their first MAC loss and had their 10-game win streak stopped by Central Michigan, 92-78.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- The Akron Zips had their 10-game winning streak snapped here Tuesday as they dropped a 92-78 decision to Central Michigan in a Mid-American Conference men's basketball game in McGuirk Arena.

The loss was the Zips' first in three MAC games and dropped them to 13-3. It was their longest winning streak since a 19-game run in 2012-13. Central Michigan improved to 9-7, 2-1 and won for the eighth time in nine home games.

KSU improves to 11-5 overall, 2-1 in the MAC, rebounding from Friday's loss to Buffalo. Miami suffered its sixth straight loss, falling to 6-10, 0-3.

Kent State built a 10-4 lead in the first five minutes of the game, but Miami used a 14-7 run to take an 18-17 lead with 7:09 left in the half. KSU then pushed ahead again and led 34-27 at the half. Hall was 4-of-5 from the field for 12 points in the half.

NFL approves Rams to LA, Chargers option to join

The Oakland Raiders, who also wanted to move to the area, could move to Los Angeles if San Diego doesn't, Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

HOUSTON -- NFL owners voted Tuesday night to allow the St. Louis Rams to move to a new stadium just outside Los Angeles, and the San Diego Chargers will have an option to share the facility.

The Oakland Raiders, who also wanted to move to the area, could move to Los Angeles if San Diego doesn't, Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

The moves end the NFL's 21-year absence from the nation's second-largest media market.

The compromise-- the Chargers and Raiders wanted to share a new stadium in Carson, California, and the Rams wanted to move to nearby Inglewood -- was approved 30-2 after the other options did not get the 24 votes needed for approval.

The Chargers can continue to negotiate with San Diego for a new stadium deal, while keeping the option of joining at the Rams and owner Stan Kroenke at the $1.8 billion complex he is building.

"Relocation is a painful process. It's painful for the fans, for the communities, for the league in general," Goodell said. "In some ways a bittersweet moment, because we were unable to get the kind of facilities done we wanted in their markets."

The Rams --based in the LA area from 1946-94 -- will play in a temporary facility -- probably the Los Angeles Coliseum -- until the new stadium is ready for the 2019 season.

"Today, with the NFL returning home, Los Angeles cements itself as the epicenter of the sports world," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement. "We cannot wait to welcome the Rams, and perhaps others soon, as they join a storied lineup of professional franchises, collegiate powerhouses, and sports media companies."

The league will give $100 million to the Chargers and the Raiders if either team builds a new stadium in their current markets.

"I will be working over the next several weeks to explore the options that we have now created for ourselves to determine the best path forward for the Chargers," chairman Dean Spanos said.

The Chargers play 120 miles south of Inglewood in Qualcomm Stadium. The Raiders played in Los Angeles from 1982-94 and currently split a facility with baseball's Athletics, the last remaining NFL-MLB stadium.

No NFL franchise has moved since the Houston Oilers went to Tennessee in 1997. The Raiders and Rams both left Los Angeles after the 1994 season.

In a report to all 32 teams days before the meetings, Goodell deemed the venues in all three existing cities inadequate and said the stadium proposals lacked certainty. In the case of San Diego, that includes a public vote required for the financing.

The Chargers and the city have been at odds since 2000, when owner Alex Spanos said his team needed to replace Qualcomm Stadium. That was just three years after the venue was expanded to accommodate the Chargers and Super Bowls.

The stadium saga turned nasty in the past year as Mark Fabiani, an attorney for team Chairman Dean Spanos, criticized Mayor Kevin Faulconer and his proposals. The city has claimed that the Chargers didn't negotiate in good faith and had several misrepresentations in their relocation bid.

Spanos has had the right to leave San Diego since 2008, but the team's efforts became more aggressive after Kroenke announced plans for the Inglewood move. The Chargers have played in San Diego for 55 seasons after one year in Los Angeles when the former AFL franchise was born.

The St. Louis proposal calls for an open-air, $1.1 billion stadium along the Mississippi River north of the Gateway Arch to replace the Edward Jones Dome.

The plan includes $150 million from the city, $250 million from Kroenke, at least $200 million from the league, and $160 million in fan seat licenses. The rest of the money comes from the state, either through tax credits or bonds.

Goodell says NFL policy limits the league's contribution to $100 million, and Kroenke has largely ignored the plan. The team said in its relocation bid that the St. Louis market lags economically and that the stadium proposal is doomed to fail.

The Rams have a year-to-year lease in St. Louis.

Oakland is still in debt from a renovation 20 years ago when the Raiders moved back from Los Angeles. City officials have said they won't seek help from taxpayers with a new stadium, and asked the NFL for more time to develop a project in a response to the Raiders' relocation plan.

Los Angeles Coliseum, the college football home of Southern California, would host at least one team until a new stadium is finished, probably in 2019 if relocation plans go forward. Finding a home for a second team could prove more difficult, although the coliseum is a possibility.

Michael Quiring leads No. 11 Brunswick boys basketball past rival Strongsville, 58-44 (photos, video)

Michael Quiring had 27 points as the Blue Devils defeated Strongsville.

BRUNSWICK, Ohio — Michael Quiring had a game-high 27 points to lead Brunswick's boys basketball team to a 58-44 win against rival Strongsville on Tuesday in Greater Cleveland Conference play.

Quiring had 18 of his 27 points in the first half for the Blue Devils (9-3, 5-1), ranked No. 11 in the cleveland.com Top 25. He also led his team in rebounds with seven.


"I got a couple of good rolls," Quiring said. "The one that hit the front rim rolled in and the one that kind of went in and out. I kind of knew maybe I was going to be hitting my shots. But really when I got to the basket, that's when I knew I could get around anyone."


Strongsville (7-6, 2-4) started the game on a 7-0 run before the Blue Devils took the lead for good with a 10-0 run.


Quiring had eight points in the first quarter including a 3-point play to give his team a 10-7 lead in the first quarter. Strongsville tied the game later in the quarter, but never got the lead back.




"I've said this about Michael, talked to a number of different people. I really believe this, too. I feel we have one of the top five point guards in all of Ohio, not just the area. He's that good," Brunswick coach Joe Mackey said. "Not only can he score tonight, but he doesn't need to score to be effective. He runs the show for us. You saw how he rebounded the ball."


Aaron Badowski joined Quiring in double figures with 13, and hit a team-high three 3-pointers.


Tyler Jamison led Strongsville with 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Mustangs have struggled since their 4-0 start, failing to win back-to-back games in their last nine games.




"They collapsed down on Tyler and really made him where the double's coming from, was it coming," Strongsville coach Darren Collins said. "A couple of times, I thought, he could've just gone to the basket and been strong which is a little bit easier shot than kicking out and someone getting that same shot you could've had."


Both teams are back in action on Friday as Brunswick travels to Shaker Heights and the Mustangs host Euclid.

No. 5 St. Edward boys basketball tops shorthanded No. 4 Lorain, 79-62 (photos, video)

Sean Flannery and an uptempo Eagles squad handed the Titans their first loss since last year's regional semifinals.

LAKEWOOD, Ohio – St. Edward trailed by 10 points early in the second quarter when point guard Sean Flannery momentarily dropped his head in disappointment.

He is not often called for a five-second violation when inbounding the basketball.


Flannery made up for it within another five seconds, stealing back the ball and igniting a run that sent St. Edward to a 79-62 win Tuesday against Lorain, the fourth-ranked team in cleveland.com’s Top 25.


Check back later for more video highlights and reaction.




The fifth-ranked Eagles (7-3) handed Lorain its first loss since last year’s Division I regional semifinals in Akron. St. Edward won that meeting, 68-60. The Eagles took this one in Lakewood with a smaller, higher tempo team that picked apart their foe on both sides of the perimeter.


“If you’re not locked into shooters, they’re going to hurt you,” Lorain coach John Rositano said. “We weren’t locked in from the second quarter on, and they hurt us.”


The absence of junior guard Daviere Andrews compounded Tuesday’s task for the Titans (8-1). Andrews watched in his warm-up jacket with 10 stitches in his right shooting hand. Rositano said Andrews suffered the injury at home.


Flannery admitted it impacted the game.


“Without him they’re still good and talented, but with him they’re one of the best teams in the area,” said Flannery, who matched up against Andrews in last year in regionals.


St. Edward senior forward Dan Chambers, who scored a game-high 21 points, will still take the win.


“I played with him this summer,” Chambers said. “It’s still a big win for us. One player doesn’t make a difference for them.”


Rositano echoed that sentiment.


“We’re not making excuses,” Rositano said. “One guy didn’t cause the loss being out.”


The coach expects Andrews back soon, but did not estimate when. Senior point guard Kevin Davis scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds without his teammate in the backcourt. Senior guard Jamar Ross added 11, while Nazihar Bohannon contributed 10 points and nine rebounds.


Lorain’s 6-foot-7 Anfernee Smothers scored eight of his 12 points in the first quarter. He had the eight in an early spurt that pushed Lorain ahead.




The Titans’ advantage remained intact until the final 1 minute, 45 seconds of the half. That’s when Tommy Schmock found Chambers, a 6-5 sharpshooter, open after he faded to the corner on a screen. St. Edward took its first lead as part of an eight-point run.




“We did a lot of good things to create good shots,” Eagles coach Eric Flannery said. “Sean and Tommy driving and kicking to open shooters, getting the ball up the floor and wearing them down; all of those things together created open looks for our team.”


The sides traded one more lead before St. Edward took a 39-38 advantage into halftime. Chambers said the momentum provided a happier midway break than the Eagles’ 68-65 win Saturday at Villa Angela-St. Joseph, when they entered halftime with a deficit.


Instead of clawing back, they built on their play and finished with 14 made 3-pointers.


Eric Flannery said he wasn’t surprised by this performance. His team hit 19 3s last month in Myrtle Beach, S.C.


“I know what we’re capable of doing,” he said. “Hitting at home – we haven’t played at home in a long time – and in front of a large crowd is a little bit different.”


Guard Jack Sullivan hit five of them for 15 points. Chambers had three. Senior Matt Gonzalez came off the bench to hit three 3s and finished with 13 points.


They pushed St. Edward’s lead to double digits midway through the third quarter.


“We’re not used to losing around here,” Rositano said. “The guys are a little bit dejected, but they’re winners.”


Rositano left St. Edward on Tuesday convinced his team will visit Bedford on Friday focused for a vital Lake Erie League matchup. On that same night, St. Edward heads to Erie, Pa., for the two-day Burger King Classic. It first plays Neumann-Goretti, which has won four Pennsylvania state championships in five years.


Tuesday’s win gave St. Edward a confidence boost for that matchup, Sean Flannery said.
