Jets star Brandon Marshall wins civil assault suit

Mark Lennihan/AP Brandon Marshall left the courthouse once the case went to the jury and did not return, so he was not in the room when the verdict was read. Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall won the civil suit levied against him by a California woman in Manhattan federal court for assault and battery on Friday. Christin Myles, who accused Marshall of punching her in the face outside the Marquee nightclub on Mar. 11, 2012, sought at least $75,000 in damages for her medical expenses and her pain and suffering. The jury deliberated for just over an hour before

Myers: Ferguson leaving money, saving health in retirement

Maddie Meyer/Getty Images While he spoke candidly about concussions in December, D’Brickashaw Ferguson was never diagnosed with one in his 10-year career. D’Brickashaw Ferguson is 32 years old and played 10 years in the NFL and the only snap he missed in his career came on a trick play. So, he is not part of the epidemic of young players in the last two years who are getting out of the NFL early rather than risk brain injury, even though it’s before they max out on their earnings potential. Ferguson made $67 million with the Jets and never was

Jets trade for Broncos' Ryan Clady to replace D’Brickashaw

Kathy Willens/AP Broncos offensive lineman Ryan Clady blocks for Knowshon Moreno. That was fast. On the same day D’Brickashaw Ferguson made his retirement official, the Jets traded for his replacement, dealing for former Broncos tackle Ryan Clady, according to a source. Gang Green is giving up a 2016 fifth-round pick in exchange for the tackle and will also receive a 2016 seventh-rounder, according to a source. Those are the same terms the Jets struck with the Bears a year ago in a deal for wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Clady, a four-time Pro Bowler, started 16 games in 2014 for

Advocate blasts Greg Hardy’s clueless, harmful stance

Ric Tapia/AP Greg Hardy denies ever assaulting women in an interview he did with ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Domestic violence experts responded with dismay Tuesday to disgraced football star Greg Hardy’s claim in an ESPN interview that violence against women is “nonexistent in most southern homes.” “Domestic violence does not discriminate, it impacts every race, geographic region, educational background,” Katie Ray-Jones, the CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, tells the Daily News. “It knows no boundaries. It’s a reg resilient issue that people don’t talk about.” Hardy, who was suspended four games last season over evidence that he battered

CHELTENHAM on Tuesday refused to say how long Jockey Club Racecourses will wait on long-time backer Ladbrokes before moving to secure a new sponsor for the World Hurdle but a potential successor has revealed their identity with 32Red making clear they would be keen to talk about taking over the festival feature.

With Ladbrokes still to agree the financial commitment that would earn it authorised betting partner (ABP) status, Cheltenham has made clear it cannot sign a new World Hurdle sponsorship deal with the bookmaker, which began supporting the race when it was rebranded from the Stayers’ Hurdle in 2005.

During that time the race, now the feature of the festival’s third day, has enjoyed a golden period thanks to equine superstars Big Buck’s and Inglis Drever.

Cheltenham has acknowledged the support of Ladbrokes in boosting the contest’s profile, but with just nine weeks until this year’s running the racecourse is no longer including the bookmaker’s name in its race promotion material.

The Racing Post understands there have been approaches to Cheltenham from outside the bookmaking industry, but also waiting in the wings is racing’s signed up ABP partner 32Red.

‘Fantastic to have a marquee race’

While fellow ABPs Betfair and Bet365 on Tuesday responded with “no comment” when asked if they had expressed an interest in the championship long-distance hurdle, 32Red chief executive officer Ed Ware – formerly a senior Ladbrokes employee – was more positive about adding the company’s name to the £300,000 prize.

“The short answer is, yes we would be interested,” said Ware. “It would be dependent on the detail but we are always in the market for opportunities like that and it would be fantastic for our brand to have a marquee race at Cheltenham.

“We haven’t spoken to Cheltenham but we can obviously see what’s going on from the sidelines. Nobody has approached us to ask if we would like to take the race but we would certainly take part in a conversation.

“Without prejudging what we would like to discuss with Cheltenham, if that opportunity came about, we wouldn’t be in the market for doing the race for just one year. We would want to do it for three or four years. With ITV taking over coverage next year that would be even better.

“We would swallow having a short run-in to the race in year one but I also think we could move pretty quickly to do something anyway.”

ABP stumbling block

Confirming Cheltenham’s position, communications manager Sophia Dale said: “We would be delighted for Ladbrokes to continue as the sponsor of the World Hurdle and we are not in discussions with any other organisation at this stage.

“However for the sponsorship to continue it would require Ladbrokes to become an authorised betting partner as Jockey Club Racecourses is supporting British racing’s ABP initiative. We very much hope they will do so.”
