 Baker Mayfield  had been to this New York City ceremony before. This time   he  left with a statue.
There was little suspense Saturday night with the announcement that the Oklahoma quarterback is the 2017 Heisman Award recipient.  Mayfield   the fifth man to finish in the top four of the Heisman race three times  is the sixth Sooner so honored overall and the third OU signal caller since 2003 to claim the trophy.
 Mayfield  received 732 first-place votes  Love had 75 and Jackson  got 47.
AWARDS:  Baker Mayfield  wins Walter Camp Award
 Mayfield   22  directed the nationâs most productive offense  averaging 583.3 yards a game  while leading the Sooners to another Big 12 title and a Rose Bowl date with Georgia in the College Football Playoff. His passing numbers were impressive enough â 4 340 yards with 41 touchdowns to just five interceptions and a 71% completion rate. But the fiery competitor did some of his best work in the biggest games  like his 386-yard  three-TD performance at Ohio State and his 598-yard day in a 62-52 shootout win against Oklahoma State. He capped the regular season with four scoring tosses in the Big 12 final against TCU.
"Wow. This is unbelievable for me "  Mayfield  said. "Being up  her  among these greats is something words can't describe. ... It's such an honor."

 Mayfield  â the first Heisman winner to begin  his  career as a walk-on since athletic scholarships started in the 1950s â is an old-school winner. For decades  seniors dominated the Heisman  but over the last 10 years four juniors  four sophomores and two redshirt freshmen have won the Heisman. By  comparison Mayfield  has been around forever  that first season at Texas Tech coming in 2013.  He  has played 47 college games. Only USCâs Carson Palmer with 50 had played more when  he  won  his  Heisman in 2002.
 Mayfield  is in many ways the perfect college football player: Good enough to play at an elite level  but because  he  is not an ideal NFL prospect   he  stuck around long enough to lead Oklahoma to three Big 12 championships and two Playoff appearances.
 He  also is among the most polarizing college football players of recent vintage.
 Mayfield  was arrested in February and pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors  including public intoxication.  He  was also punished by Sooners coach Lincoln Riley after making an obscene gesture toward Kansas players during a game in November.
And  in Week 2   he  showed  his  exuberance with an act that brought  his  first apology of the season.
After the Sooners' 31-16 win at Ohio State   Mayfield  ran around the field at Ohio Stadium with a crimson OU flag  then took it to the âOâ at midfield and tried to stick it in the ground as his teammates celebrated around him.
The next step for for the former walk-on: To once again prove some folks wrong. Listed at 6-1  220 pounds â and that might be a stretch  â Mayfield  is not the prototype NFL quarterback prospect  but that hasnât stopped  him  from becoming one of the most prolific passers in college football history.

SOLUTION: Baker Mayfield

PROBLEM: That  in turn  led to attacks from fellow NBA star LeBron James against the commander-in-chief.
That policy did not stop  LeBron James  of the Cleveland Cavaliersfrom making it abundantly clear that they are unwilling to hear the president out  tweeting last week that the commander-in-chief is a âbumâ and noting that Curry told him that he did not intend to visit the White House anyway.
 James  also said  âGoing to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!â  referring to his meeting with former President Barack Obama.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up! â LeBron James (@KingJames) September 23  2017
 James  voted for Hillary Clinton.
Obama invited  James  and then-President-elect Trump to the White House on the same day  November 10  2016.

SOLUTION: LeBron James

PROBLEM: Unidentified kidnappers bundled the deputy governor of Afghanistan ’ s northwestern province of Kunar into a car in the Pakistani city of Peshawar and took him away   police sources said on Sunday .  Mohammad Nabi Ahmadi  had crossed over from Afghanistan into Pakistan with  his  brother and was walking down a road in the northwestern city of Peshawar when a car with tinted windows pulled up and overpowered the Afghan official   according to a Peshawar police source . The police source said Ahmadi ’ s brother recounted the episode to Pakistani police   but did not disclose that his brother was a high - ranking Afghan provincial government official . “ It was afterwards we came to know from other sources that he was deputy governor of Kunar  ” said the police official . Abdul Ghani Musamem   the spokesman for the governor of Kunar   confirmed Ahmadi had gone missing in Peshawar on Friday and added that he had been on leave for medical treatment . Wealthy Afghans frequently cross the border for medical treatment in Pakistan . Many Afghans live in Peshawar and it is also common for influential figures in Afghanistan to have business or family links in the Pashtun regions of Pakistan . The Pakistani police source said the Afghan government had not told them about Ahmadi ’ s visit   adding that “ otherwise we would have provided him with security ”. Another security official said police in Peshawar were working to find out if Ahmadi ’ s kidnapping was related to his work or a personal dispute . The Afghan Taliban denied involvement in Ahmadi ’ s kidnapping . “ We heard that a deputy Afghan governor went missing in Pakistan but let me clarify that we don ’ t operate outside Afghanistan  ” said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid . “ In Pakistan   our leadership has strictly forbidden our people from any sort of activities as this is not our policy .”
