MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin officials have accused Cleveland Browns lineman Joe Thomas of committing nearly a dozen environmental violations on his hunting land west of Madison.The state Department of Natural Resources sent the former Wisconsin Badgers standout and seven-time Pro Bowler a letter Wednesday accusing him of 11 violations. They range from building bridges and dams and enlarging a pond without permits to tearing down a barn without notice of intent and discharging manure into a wetland.DNR officials want to meet with Thomas on Jan. 6 — after the regular season ends — to discuss the allegations. Some of the violations are punishable by fines of $10,000 for every day in violation, the letter says, but doesnt offer details on the number of days.DNR spokesman Bob Manwell declined to comment on the violations.Thomas plans to attend the January meeting if the Browns dont make the playoffs, he said after practice Friday. He said he bought the land about three years ago and hired a contractor to remove buildings on it.Thomas said he didnt realize the process they had to go through with the DNR and was surprised to receive the violation letter. He thought the agency had decided to settle things by issuing after-the-fact permits, he said.I guess Im a little surprised by how the process has gone because were working together in a lock-step as a partnership with the same goals, trying to get the same outcomes, and so I guess Im kind of surprised its blown up into a big deal, he said.The letter also accuses developer Patrick OConnor and Darrick Luck, who runs a company called Old Wood New Use, LLC, of the same violations. Old Wood New Use demolishes old buildings and recycles any material from them thats still usable.OConnor told The Associated Press in an email Friday that he helped Thomas purchase the land in 2012. It was littered with old farm equipment and dilapidated buildings, OConnor said. Thomas hired Luck in May to demolish the structures and Connor along with some friends cleaned up the trash.An anonymous tipster mistakenly reported a manure spill they drained water from a manure storage basin, OConnor said. Thomas subsequently obtained a manure structure closing permit from county officials, he said.Thomas was waiting for the paperwork for retroactive permits when he got Wednesdays letter, OConnor said.There is no issue here, he wrote. The real story is Joe and his family should be receiving an award for cleaning up an environmental eyesore.Luck declined comment to The Associated Press on Friday morning, but told the State Journal it was crazy for the DNR to demand notification prior to demolition.Thomas was a 2006 consensus All-American and first-team All-Big Ten player at Wisconsin. He also became the first Badger to win the Outland Trophy, an award recognizing college footballs top interior lineman.The Browns selected Thomas in the first round of the 2007 NFL draft. Hes never missed a snap during his pro career and has twice been named the Walter Payton Man of the Year.The environmental allegations came one day after local media selected Thomas as the Browns player of the year.___Associated Press Sports Writer Tom Withers in Berea, Ohio, contributed to this report.

Oakland dealt quarterback Terrelle Pryor to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday for a seventh-round pick in next months draft. The Raiders fulfilled Pryors wish to be traded a day before the start of their off-season program. Pryor had asked to be dealt after the season when he lost his starting job to undrafted rookie Matt McGloin, and the Raiders made the move after acquiring Matt Schaub from Houston to be the starter. Pryor said on Twitter: "Thank you Mr Davis and Raidernation for the unbelievable support!! I will miss the Fans and all of the teammates I have met over the years with the Raiders organization!!" The Raiders took Pryor in the third round of the supplemental draft in 2011, less than two months before Davis died. Pryor was suspended for the first five games by Commissioner Roger Goodell, who ruled he must miss the time he would have served under a suspension had he stayed at Ohio State. Pryor got on the field only once as a rookie, committing a false start before his first play. He then played sparingly late in his second season before beating out general manager Reggie McKenzies hand-picked starter, Matt Flynn, in training camp last summer. Pryor showed flashes of what he could do early in the season, completing 68.1 per cent of his passes for 845 yards, four touchdowns, two interceptions and a 97.6 passer rating in his firrst four starts.dddddddddddd He also brought the running element to Oaklands offence and set an NFL record for quarterbacks with a 93-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage against Pittsburgh on Oct. 27. That was the final real highlight of his first year as a starter. He lost his job to McGloin a few weeks later after struggling through a knee injury in a loss to the New York Giants. Pryor had completed 50.1 per cent of his passes for 714 yards with one touchdown, eight interceptions and a 44.2 passer rating in his four starts before losing his job. He played only sparingly after that until starting the season finale against Denver. Pryor finished the season having completed 156 of 272 passes for 1,798 yards, seven touchdowns and 11 interceptions, with a passer rating of 69.1. He also rushed for 576 yards on 83 carries, but was sacked 31 times. Pryor will compete with Tarvaris Jackson and B.J. Daniels for the backup job to Russell Wilson on the Super Bowl champion Seahawks. "Terrelle is an incredibly explosive athlete and were excited for him to come in and compete," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said in a statement. The Raiders had already decided to go in a different direction at quarterback when they traded a sixth-round pick to Houston for Schaub. Coach Dennis Allen had already chosen Schaub as his starter and McGloin is in place as the backup. Oakland could still draft a quarterback next month. ' ' '
