Amendment 1, aimed at providing reliable conserva- tion funding, was the biggest vote getter on the ballot last year, backed by 75 percent of voters. But that seemed to mean little to lawmakers in their budget agreement completed this week.

All the league really had to do was have the new players look at Commissioner Roger Goodell’s appointment book Tuesday. If Tom Brady can step out of bounds, anyone can. While New England’s super- star quarterback was in New York appealing a four-game suspension for using underin- fl ated footballs in the AFC title game, the conference’s rookie draft class, including the Ti- tans’ Marcus Mariota, con- tinued a four-day symposium designed to get them ready for the NFL and beyond. “That’s why we’re here,” said Mariota, the Heisman Trophy winner from Oregon taken with the No. 2 overall pick by Tennessee. “They provide us informa- tion that will help us not only on the fi nancial side of stuff, but on the fi eld and off the fi eld.
