Columbus Man to Carry Olympic Torch at Rio Games

By Jose Zozaya, Reporter

© GETTY IMAGES SPORT The Olympic Games are the greatest international sporting event on the planet, and also the oldest, and so, of course, it is essential that the main protagonists – the world’s finest athletes – remain at the very centre of the planning and implementation. Rio 2016, will see a number of significant firsts, with rugby and golf returning to the programme after an absence of many decades, and refugee athletes competing for the first time on the Olympic stage. Here are some other significant stats that highlight how Rio will be hosting the world’s greatest celebration of sport.

• Approximately 10,500 athletes from 206 NOCs recognised by the IOC including one currently suspended + Refugee Olympic Team (ROT).

• The programme will feature 28 sports, including golf and rugby sevens, which mark their return to the Olympic stage after a long absence.

• There will be a total of 306 medal events taking place at 32 competition venues in Rio, as well as, in the case of football, five other cities around Brazil.

• In the build-up to Rio, there were 44 test events staged at the Olympic venues in order to fine tune preparations for Games time.

Leroy “Duke” White will represent his country and Nike as a brand ambassador and torch bearer at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio.

Four-Sport Star Jones Among Bi-City’s Best Ever

By Roscoe Nance It is safe to say that they don’t make high school athletes like Daryll “DJ” Jones anymore.

Jones, co-host and Executive Producer of Sportsvisions, was a four-sport letterman at Carver High, and he was named All-Bi-City in football, basketball, baseball and track during the 1979-80 school year. Nowadays, athletes are frequently encouraged to focus on one sport at an early age, which makes it highly unlikely that the Bi-City will produce another athlete with a resume as deep as Jones’.

“When I reflect back, I have to think about where I came from,’’ says Jones, who in the end distinguished himself in football as twoyear starter at the University of Georgia before playing with Green Bay and Denver in the NFL. “There’s a neighborhood called Buena Vista Estates right behind Carver. Growing up in that apartment complex, there were a lot of kids, and we were very competitive.

Whatever season it was, football, baseball, basketball, we were actually physically out in the yard playing. It didn’t matter if it was tackling football, pitching and catching a baseball or shooting hoops in a garbage can rack. We competed and we enjoyed it. That fed my competitiveness to want to play all sports and not be afraid to try and do all sports. My parents encouraged it by allowing me to play

organized sports at the Brookhaven YMCA back in 1970.”

Jones says a critical factor in him becoming a multi-sport high school star was his parents trusting his coaches and allowing him to play against older kids. He played against kids who were up to four years older than him when he was only eight.

“That’s unheard of today, but I did it,’’ Jones says.“I credit my athletic maturation, and maturation as a young man, to that. Being young kid and getting knocked on your (behind), you had to compete. It got to a point where I was in middle school and high school I was so far ahead of the curve as far as talent because I had developed so much younger competing against older athletes. That set me on my way, and I think separated my talents.’’

Jones says no one ever tried to force him to choose one sport over any of the others, and the thought of doing so never crossed his mind.

“It was just a way a life,’’ he says. “My parents encouraged it as long I kept my grades up and did the things that were required of me at the house.

As I look at it today, those were the opportunities that kept me out of trouble being involved all year round. Yeah, there were some kids only played basketball, who played football, who only

played baseball. Through the encouragement of my parents, they allowed me to do whatever I wanted to do in regards to those sports, and I excelled at all of them and didn’t have a coach who said you can only do this or you can only do that. They encouraged me.’’

At the time, Jones had no appreciation of just how unique an athlete he was and how unusual it was to compete in four sports at the level that he did.

“It was something I enjoyed doing,’’ Jones says. “I enjoyed competing. I enjoyed it, whether it was hitting a curve out of the park, dunking a basketball or throwing a touchdown pass or long jumping. I was just a kid having fun.’’

Perhaps because he was having so much fun playing four sports, Jones never became burned out on athletics.

“It was always something different,’’ he says.

“Getting burned out wasn’t an option.’’

It wasn’t until his junior year that it occurred to Jones that he had special athletic talents. He was a two-year starting quarterback on a football that won fewer than 10 games during his four-year high school career and an outfielder on a baseball team that was equally as bad.

But Jones still caught the eye of college football recruiters nationwide and Major League Baseball scouts despite being part of what was called the worst baseball and football programs in the Bi-City during that time.

“We didn’t have the resources a lot of the other schools had,’’ he says, “but I had developed into a pretty damn good quarterbacks and had gotten a lot of notoriety. We didn’t have the dot coms and all the scouting services and combines that kids have today. We only had eight continued on next page

millimeter film, you’re coaches evaluation and the recommendations from opposing coaches. They might have beaten us by five or six touchdowns, however, they knew that Jones kid was playing just as hard in the first quarter as he was when they were ahead six or seven touchdowns behind in the fourth quarter. Word got around to recruiters.’’

quarterback position with a defensive mentality even though he played in a pass-oriented offensive system.

It was pretty much I was the same in baseball.

Even though football had supplanted baseball in Jones’ heart and he had signed a football grant to play at Georgia, he was intrigued when the Pirates chose him in the 1980 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. The career expectancy for baseball players is longer than football players’, and being a five-tool player increased his chances of reaching the big leagues. With that in mind, Jones turned down a shot at a baseball career and became a part of what is widely considered to be the most successful recruiting class in Georgia football history. Led by Herschel Walker, that class led the Bulldogs to the 1980 National championship, three consecutive Sugar Bowl appearances, a 44-4-1 record and three SEC championships. Jones was a two-year starter at cornerback after playing behind No.1 signal caller Buck Belue his freshman season.

“I enjoyed it,’’ Jones says. “I didn’t worry about what we didn’t have. I went out and competed at my highest level. Between the baseball folk scouting me and college recruiters in football coming to see me play and visiting me, it gave me an idea that I must have been pretty special; I must have been pretty good,’’ Jones played point guard in basketball. He took advantage of his quickness, jumping ability and aggressiveness to nail down a starting spot, but he never put in the time that it required to develop a more all-around game because he was busy with other sports.

“Most of my points were based on steals and lay-up or dunks,’’ he says. “Coach (James) Patrick encouraged (basketball) players to play year round. He was not a fan of playing multiple sports. Whether that put me a disadvantage, I don’t know. I think I was a great athlete with some basketball skills.’’

Jones competed in the long jump in track, but only on a limited basis because of his commitment to baseball. Carver football coach Wallace Davis was a former track athlete and doubled as track coach. He allowed Jones to be a full-time baseball player and would only use him for key meets.

“He knew I had the ability to help the team score points at the big track meets,” Jones says.

Baseball was Jones’ first love and his best sport at an early age. He got an inkling of just how good he was in that sport when he made the Sally League All-Star team. He developed into a five-tool player, meaning he could run, throw, field, hit for average and hit for power.

However, as he got older, the more the game slowed down. In addition, his Carver High teams weren’t competitive, and he lost interest in the game even though he continued to play at a high level.

Jones found football more appealing because it’s fast paced and physical. He played the

“When I pulled the ball down and ran,’’ he says, “the defensive guy wasn’t necessarily the aggressor. I was going to make him miss or lower the boom.’’

Jones grew up rooting for Georgia, and he says there was something special about Athens when he took his official on-campus visit. Still, there was strong sentiment around the Bi-City that Georgia wouldn’t be the best place for him because of his skin color.

“The quarterback position wasn’t where black kids ended up playing in those days,’’ Jones says.

Quarterback wasn’t the position where Jones ultimately made his mark at Georgia, but he says that was his choice. He was the starting quarterback on the junior varsity team his freshman season and saw action in four games with the varsity. He remembers getting in for a series against Ole Miss when the Rebels knocked Belue out of the game. The training staff gave Belue smelling salts and he went back in the game.

“If there was a concussion protocol back then, I might have been the starting quarterback on the National Championship team,’’ Jones says. “Every time I see Buck, I kid him about that.’’

The following spring Jones went to Coach Vince Dooley and asked to move to defense. The Bulldogs lost the entire secondary from the National Championship team to graduation. Jones saw a position change as a sure way to get on the field

since Belue, a senior, was solidly entrenched at quarterback.

“I Knew I had the talent to be on the field,’’ Jones says. “I asked Coach Dooley to switch. A lot of people didn’t realize that. I wasn’t going to stand on the sideline and hold clipboard, unlike DJ Shockley (roughly two decades later) who was willing to wait behind David Greene. It turned out okay. I had a pretty good career at Georgia and I was drafted by Green Bay. I lived out a dream.’’

Jones had a brief flirtation with returning to baseball and being a dual sport athlete at Georgia. The Pirates scout who followed Jones’ high school career was friends with the coach at Georgia and recommended he give Jones a shot. Jones went out for the team his junior year and won a starting outfield position. However, Dooley, who was against two-sport athletes, got word to Jones that he would lose his spot on the depth chart if he missed spring football.

“Football ruled,’’ says Jones, who never again considered playing baseball.

Green Bay chose Jones on the seventh round of the 1984 NFL Draft. He also played for the Denver Broncos and was a member their 1987 AFC championship squad that reached the Super Bowl.

“I pinch myself,’’ Jones says. “Today, from everything you read, you have to come from a successful (high school) program, and you have to have this and that. Carver, we didn’t have anything other than the spirit to play each and every week. We didn’t have the weight room. We weren’t considered a powerhouse.

But I went out and did what I knew how to do.

Apparently it was good enough.’’

ON THE SHOULDERS OF OTHERS No matter where he goes or what he does Dale Williams will never forget where the seeds of his success were planted. He is a college football national champion, a successful businessman and television sports personality and he readily owes it all to the hard work put in on the athletic fields of East Columbus.

More specifically, the football field where he played Pop Warner football for the Edgewood Red Devils. It was there where the coaching staff of Tommy Drew set Williams on a course that would be life changing.

“Edgewood opened my eyes to what I could be,” Williams said. “We were always good.

That Coach Drew piece, and playing in such a good program, at such a young age, got me ready for the Georgia’s of the world.

“We were exposed to a lot of good stuff at an early age. Being able to run the Wishbone that Alabama was running, that Columbus High School was running. Just learning and knowing about football. We were raw but we had some really good coaches. We did the same fundamental drills every day.”

By Tim Turner

The Saturday morning practices were legendary for Williams as Drew and staff went from 10 a.m. to 12, drilling the team and making it one of the best anywhere.

That 1973 season was capped by a trip to the Walt Disney World Bowl where Edgewood crushed an all-Star team, the Altamonte Springs (Fla.) Saints, 36-0.

“Being in a good program early on, I think Edgewood was creme de la creme over any program in Columbus. I think today that Pop Warner is better than junior high football. I don’t think the Pop Warner coaches in Columbus get enough credit. They put a lot of time and effort into it and a lot of guys around here can flat out coach.”

And he counts Drew among them. It was his foundation in fundamentals that gave Williams a leg up on other players.

Coach Drew was probably the best coach I ever had,” Williams said. “(Coach) Irk Russell and (Coach) Vince Dooley, they were excellent coaches, but Coach Drew got me ready for Georgia.”

That’s because of what he learned at Edgewood, he was prepared for high school ball at Hardaway, where he went up against older and bigger kids. Thing is, they could not run the option, and Williams could, which made the dual threat quarterback stand out.

“I remember at practice, I would read Coach Drew. When he went out, I went in. When he went in, I went out. I pitched.

Every day.”

It earned Williams notice. The Citadel assistant Frank Beamer came to Columbus and recruited Williams for his of-

PAGE 13

fense there. And it promised to be a vastly different collegiate experience.

(Beamer) told me (The Citadel) was going to be like ROTC,” Williams said. “I said, ‘OK, I can handle that.’ Then I got to The Citadel and that was not me. This ain’t college right here. It was military.”

Despite it instilling a lifelong commitment to discipline and developing great study habits, Williams wanted out. The rituals, the exercise, the rising daily at 6 a.m., the whole Knob experience did not suit his outgoing personality.

“Walking around campus not saying nothing and no girls. That wasn’t me right there,” Williams said. “I made it a point I wasn’t coming back. It wasn’t anything against (The Citadel head coach) Bobby Ross. He was a good coach. Frank Beamer was a good coach. At the same time it wasn’t me. I wanted to go to college to have some fun and learn. I didn’t go to college just to play some football.”

So Williams wrote a letter to Dooley, Georgia’s head coach saying I wanted to transfer and come and play for him. That would not be easy, as back then, the prospective new coach had to notify the old coach of the player’s intention to transfer.

So Dooley told Bobby Ross that Williams wanted to come.

“Bobby didn’t believe I was going to leave,” Williams said. “He told me to just cool off and have a good summer and we’ll see you back. That same summer, Bobby left for the Kansas City Chiefs. My mind was already made up to leave The Citadel and walk on at Georgia.”

Why Georgia could be attributed to the then Sunday morning ritual of watching the parade of coaches shows. The Shug Jordan Show. The Bear Bryant Show. The Bill Battle Show. And, of course, the Vince Dooley Show. The Bulldogs just seemed like a fit. So Williams secured just enough money to pay for one year at Georgia and walked on.

“I saw some of the players who were playing in front of me, and I called home and said to my momma, ‘Momma, I’m going to play next year,’” Williams said. “The rest is history. That was the best move I ever made.”

Dale had a great year having won the defensive scout team Player of the Year. Dale was awarded a football scholarship by Dooley. He went on to become a threeyear starter as a cornerback for the Dawgs.

He played in two Sugar Bowls which included the 1980 NCAA football national championship. Dale was selected by the Denver Gold of the USFL in 1982.

After football, Williams took advantage of his Political Science degree and went on to serve as a staff assistance to U.S. Congressman Newt Gingrich. He was also a former director of prestigious accounts for the Georgia Crown Distributing Company and former vice-president of governmental and minority affairs for the Columbus, Georgia, Chamber of Commerce.

These transitions away from the field were made much easier by his work on the field and the lessons learned.

“In sports, you can get along with anybody,” Williams said. “You learn to develop a great work ethic and you develop relationships. It breaks down all racial barriers and people

see you for who you are and you see them the same way.

“And you develop relationships. That’s all life is about. One that I will always be grateful for is working for Don Leebern. I had summer jobs with him before working fulltime. He was a great mentor for me and still is a great mentor. Gives you the smell of success being around him, He was my guy as far as business is concerned and be a good person. How to resolve conflicts around the scenes. Civic service, helping people, volunteering for stuff.”

But the sports bug never went away. Williams took an idea from working in the television ministry at New Life Church, added a lifelong friend and former Bulldog Darryl Jones and they created Sportsvision, a show that has now been on the air a dozen years.

“We were able to get a couple of sponsors, and I asked DJ (then a local sports anchor) to work with me on this,” Williams said. “Just two guys sitting around talking sports. And you talk about speaking things into existence. We didn’t even have a camera when we started talking about it. God has blessed us and we’ve been blessed to work in Columbus.”

COWBOYS LAUGHING TO THE BANK AS MOST VALUABLE TEAM IN SPORTS Frank Schwab Shutdown Corner editor Jul 13, 2016, 1:28 PM

The Dallas Cowboys had a terrible year on the field in 2015, but owner Jerry Jones’ bank account didn’t suf-

fer a bit.

The Cowboys have put together a dynasty when it comes to topping all NFL teams in Forbes’ annual rankings of most valuable sports franchises. The Cowboys took another step in this year’s list, ranking first among any team in all sports. It’s the first time since Forbes started ranking franchises in 2011 that a non-soccer team has taken the top spot.

Real Madrid, the famous futbol team in Spain, had its value rise 12 percent in the past year to $3.65 billion and still couldn’t hold onto the No. 1 spot. That’s because the Cowboys jumped 25 percent from last year, according to Forbes, and are now valued at $4 billion.

The Cowboys went 4-12 last year, but based on that figure it’s hard to say they had a bad year.

Jones has built an incredible business. He has perhaps the nicest stadium in American sports, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and built an already strong brand into a powerhouse during his nearly three decades as Cowboys owner. Dallas hasn’t won a Super Bowl since the 1995 NFL season, but that hasn’t mattered to the franchise’s bottom line.

The Cowboys were the only NFL team in Forbes’ top five, though the New England Patriots barely missed. The Patriots ranked No. 6 at $3.2 billion. The Washington Redskins, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers also made the top 10.

Here’sForbes’ top 10, with the dollar figure representing how many billions each team is worth: 1. Dallas Cowboys – $4.0 2. Real Madrid – $3.65 3. Barcelona – $3.55 4. New York Yankees – 3.4 5. Manchester United – 3.32 6. New England Patriots – 3.2 7. New York Knicks – 3.0 8. Washington Redskins – $2.85 9. New York Giants – $2.8 10. Los Angeles Lakers – $2.7 10. San Francisco 49ers – $2.7
