Holtz then filed a lawsuit that was later settled out of court by the Hofbrauhaus.

The most publicized incident involved Bob Amicone and then-bouncer Chris Bridges.

Bridges, a convicted felon, stopped Amicone and his wife from leaving the Hofbrauhaus premises because he wanted to search Amicone’s wife’s purse.

While attempting to walk away, Amicone was “grabbed by Bridges, slammed to the ground and placed in a choke hold,” according to the report.

Amicone later won a civil lawsuit against Hofbrauhaus for false imprisonment and battery.

After a review of the incidents, the KACB decided to suspend the Hofbrauhaus’ liquor license for a period of 25 days or pay a $1,250 fine. Hofbrauhaus would then be subject to a probationary period of two

years where the board could suspend its license if there are any further infractions.

Newport Hofbrauhaus’ General Manager, John Ellison, stated in the report that the incidents all occurred with patrons who had been over served and were intoxicated.

As a result, all Newport Hofbrauhaus employees must now go through a sevenhour-long training course with the Kentucky Restaurant Association to help them recognize when a customer should be cut off.

Ellison was not available for comment, but in a statement from Hofbrauhaus Management, the restaurant said it “operates a safe, family-friendly establishment that caters to a broad range of customers.”

The Hofbrauhaus has until Sept. 17 to either pay the fine or serve the 25-day license suspension.

Kruse said, at this point, it is the responsibility of educators to ensure students receive a proper education.

“We need these sort of powerful experiences that provide an opportunity to learn in a lot of connected ways,” Kruse said.

“But all of those things have to come together across a lifetime of a student’s learning and make an impact in the end. Keeping that up for any particular kid over a 12-year period is really tough.”

NEWS — NEWSRECORD.ORG —WELCOME BACK —

After 37 years of service to the University of Cincinnati, the school’s top lawenforcement official has decided to call it a day.

Eugene Ferrara, director of UC Public Safety and chief of the UC Police Division, is retiring from his position.

Ferrara — who began his tenure at UC in 1974 as an adjunct assistant professor in the College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services while still a member of the Cincinnati Police Department — became police chief of the UC Medical Center in 1978, when the campus was separate from the academic side of the university, which had its own police force.

When UC consolidated all its campuses and the two police departments in 1986, Ferrara was promoted to safety director, later becoming both police chief and safety director when the two positions merged in 1992.

Ferrara will keep working until the university, which is currently accepting applications, names his successor. But finding a replacement that meets the standard set by Ferrara may prove to be challenging.

It is a position in which Ferrara has been exemplary, said UC Provost Santa Ono. “Gene is the epitome of class,” Ono said.

“In my two decades in higher education, I have rarely met a more dedicated individual.

His love for UC is clear to all, and I know that he especially cares about UC’s students.”

Ono credited Ferrara for the implementation of response procedures to emergency situations on campus as a major contribution during his tenure benefiting UC. “UC is a better and much safer place because Gene has worked here,” Ono said.

“His legacy is huge.”

Ferrara hopes his successor can build upon those accomplishments achieved by the UCPD during his tenure, he said.

“The members of [UC Public Safety] have done a marvelous job of building a firstclass, nationally-recognized public safety operation,” he said. “The next director-chief should be able to build upon that.”

One way to build will be through

partnerships UCPD has outside of campus with other law enforcement agencies — such as the Cincinnati Police Department — and continued training for officers, Ferrara said.

“I certainly encourage the next person to maintain and expand those partnerships,” Ferrara said. “I also would suggest that the existing commitment to training is something that should be continued. Simply put, better trained people do better work.”

Ferrara decided to retire in order to enjoy more family time.

“I started my career in law enforcement with the Cincinnati Police Department in 1961 — 50 years ago,” Ferrara said. “I love what I do and I have my health — that’s what has made it possibly for me to complete 50 years in this career field. But, now I want to spend some more time with my family, spoil my grandchildren, play a little more golf and just ‘smell the roses’ as they say.”

Ferrara will still be involved in the law enforcement community even in retirement, however.

“I couldn’t just sit on the porch and watch the world go by,” he said. “I will keep busy with my consulting company — I have been involved in training police and security personnel around the world for over 35 years.

I also serve as chairperson for the Greater Cincinnati Crime Stoppers organization and that will keep me busy.”

But Ferrara will miss some things in retirement, he said — the officers of the UCPD the most.

That feeling is mutual, said Specialist Doug Barge, a UCPD officer of 11 years.

“You have trained leaders and you have born leaders,” Barge said. “Chief Ferrara is a born leader. He listens to (officers) and is very flexible.”

Not only will Ferrara miss his officers, but he will also miss the ability to work with law enforcement situations both good and bad, he said.

“I know many people will say I’m crazy, but I will also miss dealing with the issues, working to solve problems and trying to make things better,” Ferrara said. “I loved that challenge.”

Less than one-third of Ohio high school students who took the 2011 American College Test, or ACT, met college readiness standards, according to the test’s benchmarks.

But the low scores are a problem that lies deeper than just with high school education, said Sharon Kruse, a member of the Executive Board of Learning Forward Ohio — a professional-development firm aiming to create professional learning opportunities and enhancing the skills of educators in the hope that it will improve students’ chances at success.

“A lot of it has more to do with society,” Kruse said. “Schools don’t cause the achievement gap. Poverty causes the achievement gap and schools have not been particularly effective in closing the gap.”

In 2011, only 10 percent of black students who took the ACT met at least three of the four benchmarks while 62 percent of Asians, half of white students and 31 percent of Hispanics met at least three of the four benchmarks.

Kruse said state curriculum and standards are to blame for the learning disparity.

“What’s happened at the state level is the curriculum has become increasingly directed by those state standards, so every kid in every state is getting a different curriculum,” Kruse said.

The ACT is based on each state’s set of academic learning standards and the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks represent the requirements of a student to succeed in a particular college-level course.

“Unfortunately, one of the things with the ACT is the fact that the composite scores

Netflix should be least of our worries

— WELCOME BACK — COLLEGE LIVING— NEWSRECORD.ORG

It’s sparked rage among college students everywhere.

Twitter and Facebook have exploded with F-bombs and angst, their users embittered by betrayal.

As Jason Alexander so eloquently put it in a FunnyOrDie.com video,“This is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to white people.”

Netflix has raised its prices. The world is so unjust.

We are now in our second week of this new, cruel Netflix regime, where users can no longer enjoy the freedom of simultaneous DVD subscriptions and unlimited instant streaming for $9.99 per month. It’s one or the other for $7.99 each, or both for — are you sitting down? Is your wallet within earshot? — $15.98 per month.

Compared to the natural disasters and wars of 2011, a potential 60 percent increase in Netflix subscriptions is utterly calamitous.

Never mind the fact that $15.98 is not a terrible price to pay for unlimited entertainment. Watch the first three “Star Wars” movies and a couple episodes of “Parks and Recreation,” and you’re already getting a bargain.

True, a 60 percent increase seems extreme … but, guys, it’s $6.

Besides, most people I talk to only use streaming, anyway. I switched my plan to the streaming-only option, which means I’m paying $2 less than I used to. I probably watched one DVD every three months or so, so giving up access to the more expansive DVD collection wasn’t really a sacrifice.

After all, watching movies and TV reruns is nothing like it was in the “olden days.” Blockbuster, Amazon, Hulu and a dozen other companies are cramming streaming videos down our throats, while sites like MegaVideo and BitTorrent offer spammy-but-free videos of every media imaginable. DV-R means we can save our favorite shows for viewing whenever we want.

So Netflix had to carve out its own niche, and it has done a great job so far. The ability to watch obscure SEE NETFLIX | 13

UC promotes back to school fire safety NOELLE WIEHE | TNR CONTRIBUTOR

Since the new school year is beginning and students are moving in to on-campus housing throughout the month, September has been designated “Campus Fire Safety Month” at the University of Cincinnati.

Throughout September, UC and other Ohio schools like Miami University and The Ohio State University are encouraged “not only to provide educational programs to all students, but also evaluate the level of fire safety being provided in both onand off-campus student housing,” according to the bill signed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich, which designated September as Campus Fire Safety month.

“September was picked because the whole idea was about reaching the college students and getting out the idea of fire safety,” said Lewis Watkins, supervisor of fire prevention for UC. Watkins’ job, along with the other three fire inspectors of the Fire Prevention Unit is to keep UC safe by performing inspections in all university buildings, reviewing new construction and renovation plans, conducting fire drills and fire safety training and investigating the cause of every on-campus fire or fire alarm trigger.

“Hopefully it will be a national event, coast to coast; all states, all colleges,”Watkins said.

Campus Fire Safety Month is meant to prompt students to educate themselves on fire safety when on campus, and with so many ways to gain the knowledge needed, there is no reason living on campus can’t be a safe bet when it comes to fire safety,

according to UC Emergencies Services.

Watkins advises UC students to visit the university Emergency Services website to become more educated on the topic of fire safety.

“There are all kinds of websites; UC has its own emergency services site,” Watkins said. “There is a wealth of information on fire safety.”

“Right now our number one type of fire LEWIS WATKINS on campus is cooking related,” he said. “I’ve seen things out here in the last 10 or 15 years that you just shake your head at and go ‘What were you thinking.’ Usually when that happens, it is not a malicious thing, it’s a lack of understanding.”

The Fire Prevention Unit at UC works in conjunction with the campus police to ensure students live in a safe and friendly environment. Watkins is confident in the safety of the UC students, with 15,000 fire alarm devices throughout the college campus and a clean history of never having any fire related deaths or serious injuries on campus.

Watkins believes that with all the resources available as well as the Fire Prevention Unit always available for students, that there is no reason for anyone to be unprepared for emergency situations.

“We always have our door open, and we want anyone who has a concern come to us,” he said. “We will help develop a plan, we will provide information and we will train.”

Swardson bares ‘Bucky Larson’ details kelly tucker | entertainment EDITOR If you’ve been following actor/comedian Nick Swardson since his performance as the roller-skate-clad Terry on “Reno 911,” you know what a funny dude he can be. From his stand up material to his outrageous roles in films like “Grandma’s Boy” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” Swardson is a big name in comedy for a reason.

After recently launching his own television series, “Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time,” he’s taking another big step by

starring in this month’s “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.”

Swardson co-wrote this unconventional comedy with Adam Sandler and Allen Covert, and if you’ve seen any of the previews, it’s clear that this is going to be one raunchy blockbuster. He’ll be starring alongside Christina Ricci in what he calls, “the weirdest romantic comedy you’ll ever see in your life.” Swardson took some time to talk to TNR along with a few other college newspapers about what to expect from this ballsy new flick.

The story follows Bucky Larson, a hopelessly yet endearingly naive young man who discovers his parents are former porn stars. Instead of scratching out his eyes at the discovery (there are just some things you can’t un-see), he decides to make like his folks and move to Hollywood to catch his big break in the industry. Cue the ensuing hilarity.

“Anyone who’s a fan of mine who’s seen me throughout the years, they know that I do extreme characters,” Swardson says. “They know that I’m not afraid to commit to something.

When I read the initial feedback online from people that were fans of mine, they were kind of against this movie … It kind of hurt my feelings because I created this character, I worked really hard on it. If you get me and you get my sensibility, courtesy of 2009 Columbia tri-star marketing group, inc./sony pictures

LOOKING FOR LOVE Nick Swardson (left) plays Bucky Larson alongside Christina Ricci, who plays Kathy McGee, in the recently released “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.”

you’ll for sure dig this movie.”

The film is obviously something not quite like anything Swardson has taken part in before, and it’s looking to be a hit or miss type of comedy: The stomach-turning, sexfounded basis of the plot will either churn out lots of laughs or make audience members wince. Despite the ad campaigns, however, Swardson stresses that “Bucky Larson” isn’t all “dick jokes and tits.”

“Pornography is kind of just in the background,” he says.

“It’s not really a commentary on pornography — it’s more of a universal theme of just a fish out of water … making something out of nothing.”

We’re eager to see how Swardson’s commitment to the character plays out, and if “Bucky Larson” really is destined for stardom. Sandler’s creative backing only provokes more curiosity. According to Swardson, this story is something Sandler has been kicking around for awhile now. After having already worked with Sandler for approximately eight years, Swardson had nothing but good things to say about the Happy Madison production company founder. “[Sandler] works really hard,” Swardson says. “It’s not like a super party atmosphere where we’re like, high all day and doing beer bongs and cannonballs into a pool. [Happy Madison is] a hard-working company.”

We can speculate all we want, but now that the film’s officially in theaters, you can be the judge. Let us know if you thought Nick rocked “Bucky Larson” or if you thought it flopped at newsrecordent@gmail.com or @TNR_Entertain.

“It’s sometimes disconcerting to see the news reports of violence and despair, but I prefer to live with a sense of relentless optimism that people are generally good and want to work together to make our world a better place,” Hart said.

Another lesson learned by Hart from the events of that fateful day is the negative effects of stereotyping an entire culture or religion.

“It’s much easier to justify making a scapegoat of a race or religion that has allegedly attacked our nation, but that doesn’t make it right. We should all take a step back and take responsibility to educate ourselves before making unfounded accusations or constructing stereotypes,” Hart said.

President Williams urged the UC community in August to commemorate the victims of the attack, and to remember the events of that day.

Those events, and their impact, still live on daily at the University of Cincinnati.

It is also a day that, Williams intoned,“we hope and pray never happens again.”

The events of 9/11 have not only transformed the military in the U.S. and abroad, but also law-enforcement operations, including at UC, where bag checks and the use of magnetic metal detecting wands at sporting events was unheard of before the attacks.

We regularly attend briefings of the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Terrorism Advisory Team.”

“Because terrorists tend to target high-profile locations and events, we have increased our security plans for UC football and basketball games,” Ferrara said.

“Package checks and vehicle barriers have become commonplace for large gatherings.”

UCPD officers have also received training regarding suspicious activity at buildings or events on campus, and cameras – both on campus buildings and UCPD vehicles - have been added to the department’s inventory to monitor activity and read license plates on vehicles, Ferrara said.

CRIME FIGHTING TEAM Don Cheadle plays American FBI agent Wendell Everett (left) alongside Brendan Gleeson, who plays Irish small-town cop Sgt. Gerry Boyle in “The Guard.”

On the surface, “The Guard” is an exciting, comedic thriller about drug trafficking in Ireland, but deep down, it’s really a character study.

Before you stop reading, this is definitely not the dull, dry and overlong kind of character study that comes to mind. Bursting at the seams with witty dialogue that comes on so hot and heavy it would be easy to miss a one-liner or two, “The Guard” is a character study in all the best possible ways.

The guard in question is Sgt. Gerry Boyle, a small-town cop in rural Galway County. Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is a maverick of sorts, with a confrontational personality who has been around long enough to develop his own moral code.

The film opens when a speeding car crashes and flips in front of a clearly disinterested Boyle, sitting in his police car, on patrol. Boyle’s gaze is not broken by the accident; he merely sighs and goes to investigate the scene. He checks for the pulse of a young man who has been thrown from the car. Finding none, he searches the young man’s pockets and discovers a few tablets of acid.

Spaghetti Western-style music begins to play, and the title comes up on the screen in big letters indicating that, yes, this flawed character is indeed our hero.

In this case, our hero’s small town has become a key cog in an international drug trafficking investigation causing the FBI to send over Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle), a straight-laced American agent who seems out of his element in the Gaelic-speaking Galway community. Although Boyle enjoys mocking Everett (“I thought black lads couldn’t ski … or is it swim?”) and appears bored by the FBI case, it soon becomes apparent that he is the only one capable of figuring it all out.

Gleeson is an actor known for disappearing into large ensemble casts (“Mad-Eye” Moody in the “Harry Potter” films). Here, Gleeson takes center stage, delivering a fine performance by never overplaying Boyle’s eccentricities, which in turn keeps him rather enigmatic up until the final frame. When Boyle launches his racial insults at Everett, it’s hard to tell whether he actually see guard | 2

Spending cuts, not stimulus, necessary Ken Silva | tnr contributor

The answer may vary from case to case, but for our current crisis fiscal stimulus is analogous to a doctor using a President Barack Obama addressed members of Congress defibrillator on a diabetic—it just doesn’t address the problem.

Firms simply do not want to hire because of expected The plan is similar to fiscal stimulus the U.S. economy had in the 2008-09 recession and the Great Depression, and it raises the rising costs. For example, job creation dropped from 67,000 new jobs per month to just 6,500 after regulations—such as question: is fiscal stimulus the solution to our economic woes? the one that requires businesses that expand to more than 50 Fiscal stimulus has not been proven to work.

Additionally, government borrowing could be doing just as much, if not more, damage than over-regulation. Government debt is financed by individuals purchasing bonds — which crowds out private investment — or through monetary expansion by the Federal Reserve, which causes inflation and hurts the poor and those on fixed incomes.

Obama promised that the plan would not increase the debt and would be paid for by other spending cuts, but the U.S. is already in a debt crisis. The plan costs nearly as much as the $455 billion deficit the U.S. had in 2008; it is hard to believe that the spending will be cut enough to reduce the deficit and finance this plan.

Fortunately, there is an easier policy that would help the economy in both the short and long run — eliminate the interest payments on the $1.6 trillion dollars of government bonds the Federal Reserve owns.

While this would not come close to solving all the economy’s problems, it could enable the federal government to both cut taxes and shrink the deficit from money that would otherwise have been used as interest payments to U.S. central bankers.

The issue of government debt is not a partisan or even ideological issue; it is a simple accounting problem.

The U.S. economy simply is not robust enough to handle the status-quo in Washington D.C. In the 1960’s government promised the country “guns and butter”, i.e. a massive welfare and warfare state.

The problem has been building for decades, and the only sustainable long-term solution is to make substantial cuts in both the guns and the butter.

DREAM Act makes bad situation even worse

— WELCOME BACK — OPINION — NEWSRECORD.ORG

Jane Andreasik | tnr contributor

Gov. Jerry Brown of California recently signed into a bill into law allowing undocumented students to be eligible for scholarships and privately funded loans.

This proposed bill is a steppingstone for the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act; known as the California DREAM Act. This act along with grants dedicated solely to undocumented students, will lead to even more immigration because it rewards illegal immigrants for being in the U.S. and would be an invitation for families from underdeveloped countries to come to America in hopes of attending one of its universities.

The issue of immigration, itself, brings about many points of contention. Not only are we talking about the broken immigration system and America’s economic state, but we are also faced with a moral question of what America views to be right versus what it sees as wrong.

Is it right to help those who are in need, despite their situation?

Or is it wrong to award illegal immigrants this scholarship without penalty even though they are, by definition, illegal?

I find myself torn between the moral issues at hand. Many advocates say since immigrants have been in the U.S. for a long period of time and that illegal immigration is here to stay, why not make the best of this situation?

If undocumented immigrants are going to be here, as a country, we must ensure they are educated and can contribute to our economy.

On one hand, I can agree with the advocates’ sentiment. The immigration system in America needs a lot of work, and it’s not going to change anytime soon, so instead of doing the same thing we have been­— which is not working — let’s try something new.

On the other hand, allowing illegal aliens to receive federal funding does not sit well with me.The compassion and eagerness of California’s state government is admirable; however, I believe it will

lead to further problems.

If someone does something wrong, they should be punished for it, not rewarded. Pushing the issue aside that undocumented students are in this country illegally does not fix the immigration problem; rather, it adds fuel to the rhetorical fire.

The passing of the Arizona immigration law last year was seen as a bit harsh by many, adding to racial tensions and increasing the potential for violence in the southwest.

Many people felt that taking a less severe approach to controlling immigration would have been more suitable. Limiting illegal alien access to what is truly intended for legal Americans would be a start: including the denial of the DREAM Act proposal.

Twenty thousand undocumented students graduate from high school in California every year, according to the UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education.

By barring illegal immigrants from health care, government assistance and access to higher education, the government would

Passing this bill might be a nice gesture to help illegal immigrants become educated, but it is only going to create

more government spending and perpetuate the cycle of illegal immigration.

Dropping the DVD subscriptions was a minor issue, and even paying the total $15.98 wouldn’t have been out of the question if I’d gotten DVDs more often.

So maybe that’s why I really don’t get why everyone is so up in arms about the price increase. Sure, no one likes to pay more for things … but aren’t there bigger issues for people to worry about?

In his video, Alexander remarks sardonically that the price increase is the Tragedy of 2011. Forget the wars, tsunamis

and earthquakes — how are we going to enjoy seasons of “Arrested Development” at obscure hours?

He’s got a point. This world’s got way bigger problems. So we either cancel our accounts in favor of the cheaper, less accessible options, or suck it up and fork out the extra dough.

Then perhaps we can focus on the issues that really are affecting millions of people. Get riled up about Libyans fighting for freedom or, if you’re looking for something that hits closer to home, fight for our voting rights. Post angry Tweets about the unemployment rates and politicians acting like children.

Because, while not having access to every episode of “Man Men” is rough, at this point, it’s probably the least of our worries.

Welcome back, football

Hello fellow students, and welcome to the glorious beginning of the school year. The weather is nice; the constant drone of Metro buses swarms on the perimeter of campus like crickets on a summer’s eve, and newly minted freshmen flock to TUC to enjoy the fried fare.

Most importantly, it’s finally football season. I know we all want the

AFC

Bearcats to rekindle the excitement of the Orange and Sugar Bowl years, but I prefer to analyze and predict the world of professional, competitive football. That’s right, sports fans. For the next 21 weeks, I will invite you into my world of NFL analysis.

For now, here is the preview of this year’s NFL season, complete with division winners and a Super Bowl matchup.

JASON HOFFMAN | OPINION EDITOR

East: New England has the best coach, quarterback and scheme in the division — maybe even the league. Plainly put, they are the champs of the division until Rex’s Jets finally put together a regular season. The Jets have improved at wide receiver, and their secondary got even better, but the Jets do not win the battle in the trenches. Until their lines take charge, the men in green will continue to play second fiddle to the Hoodie.

The Bills might be the worst team in the league, and the Dolphins need Reggie Bush to act like he’s playing against PAC-12 teams again.

South: Peyton Manning will lose his consecutive starts streak due to a neck issue that has plagued him for the past two years, and there’s even some doubt he will be able to play at all this season. Fact is, without Manning, the Colts are a sub-.500 team; with him, they don’t miss the playoffs. The Jaguars might challenge for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes, and the Titans brought in Matt Hasselbeck, but they are also rebuilding with a new coaching staff. That leaves the Houston Texans. Simply put, they have to lose the South, as they should sweep their division rivals.

West: The Chargers have to lose this division. Seriously, the Raiders led by Al

Davis/the Cryptkeeper lost the infrastructure that yielded a clean sweep in the division last season. The Broncos have a serviceable starter in Kyle Orton but not much else on offense. The Chiefs have a mixture of New England and Arizona leftovers that are trying to find an identity. If San Diego loses the weakest division in the AFC, it’s because Norv Turner is terrible and Phillip Rivers is overrated.

Hoffman’s postseason predictions AFC Wildcards: Jets and Ravens; same as last year.

NFC Wildcards: Lions and Saints.

South: Second-most interesting division in football. Smart money says the Saints will prevail because the entire team was working out together all off-season, with Drew Brees teaching the rookies how to play in the offense. The Falcons added more weapons for Matt Ryan and have one of the fastest defenses in football. The Buccaneers are probably the best young team in the modern era. The Panthers will be led by a versatile, faster version of Vince Young, sans the offensive weapons. In short, they will not win more than five games. It is nearly impossible to take a new coaching staff, rookie quarterback and aging running back corps and be successful in the NFL. I say the Falcons and Saints will battle it out, and the Falcons will win the division.

North: The most interesting division in football. The Vikings need circa late 1990s Donovan McNabb to be relevant. The Packers are the odds-on favorite for bringing another Lombardi Trophy to Titletown. The Bears lost the NFC Championship last year thanks to Janice Cutler’s stationary bike routine. The Lions are the best formerly-totally-crappy-team in football. If Matthew Stafford can stay in one piece for the season, they will contend in the division. The Lions have the best defensive line in football and might actually murder an opposing quarterback this year. I say Green Bay maintains their dominance in the North because I play the odds, but don’t be surprised when the Lions take a wildcard spot.

West: Anyone have a four-sided coin? I bet the Cardinals take the division because they are the best team in the division and have the best receiver in football.

However, it could really be won by the only team that finds a way to win nine games. The Rams are still young, the 49ers are rebuilding and the Seahawks are not elite at any of the skill positions—something the new era National Football League demands now.

FIFTEEN

Super Bowl matchup: Patriots and Packers meet in Indianapolis.

East: Very intriguing division. The “Dream Team” in Philadelphia has a ton of speed and talent on paper, making the Madden player in me want to watch them every week. They are in the same situation San Diego is in; don’t lose the division and make sure their quarterback doesn’t have to make tight throws too often. The Giants look like the platoon at the end of “Full Metal Jacket”; if they’re not dead, they’re wounded, if they’re not wounded, they’re tired. The Cowboys are a veteran group led by a guy who can be good if the offensive line keeps him upright, but even they are having injury issues. The Redskins are still trying to figure out how to be the 1997-98 Broncos, and their decision to start Rex Grossman at quarterback is laughable. Eagles should walk through the East.

North: It won’t be the Bengals, Homers. It won’t be the Browns, Ohio State fans.

The Ravens have an inability to win when it counts. Basically, the Steelers will once again rule the “liver punch” division of football. The Ravens might make the leap if Joe Flacco can make throws and Ray Lewis can find a way to stay relevant, but ultimately, the Steel City will thump the division.

Porous defense plagues Cincinnati Volunteers’ offense sets records in 45-23 win against Bearcats sam weinberg | sports EDITOR

efore traveling to Knoxville, Tenn., University of Cincinnati head football coach Butch Jones said Tuesday he was concerned about matching the speed of South Eastern Conference teams.

Following the 45-23 drubbing at the hands of the University of Tennessee Saturday, it’s clear his worries weren’t misplaced.

The Bearcats were able to play with the Volunteers for eight minutes before Tennessee wore down Cincy and ran away with the game.

“I thought we were ready to play and jumped out early, but when you go on the road, you have to play with a high level of consistency,” Jones said. “You can’t beat yourself.”

Despite forcing two turnovers, the Bearcats’ defense was unable to contain or keep up with the Vols’ fast-paced offense, which scored on seven of their 11 drives.

Volunteers’ sophomore quarterback Tyler Bray had no trouble picking apart the UC secondary, finishing the game with 405 yards and four touchdowns.

Tennessee sophomore receiver Justin Hunter finished with a career-high 156 yards and one touchdown.

“The biggest thing is rushing the passer,” Jones said. “They threw the ball 40-something times and we had zero sacks.

We have to get better in pass coverage. I think everyone saw that. We’ll go back to working on that.”
