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.

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

Maiden Test half-centuries for Craig Ervine and Sean Williams and a stubborn stint at the crease from captain Graeme Cremer made it Zimbabwe’s best session yet in the first Test at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

Not only did they survive against a New Zealand attack searching for victory, but also ensured runs came at more than a fair clip as they handled pace and swing from Tim Southee and Trent Boult, bouncers from Neil Wagner and the spin of Ish Sodhi with class and character.

After lack of application caused a first-innings implosion, Zimbabwe’s batsmen put their minds to batting time and frustrated New Zealand. Their only success this morning came in the second over when Ervine played inside the line of a delivery from Boult and was given out caught behind by debutant umpire Michael Gough. Replays showed Ervine had not hit the ball and the noise was likely bat-pad.

He was replaced by Williams, got a rough decision in the first innings when he was caught off the helmet. Now battling flu, Williams, who wasn’t on the field for New Zealand’s first innings, played an authoritative innings, easily the best of his short career put his illness aside to play the most assured innings of his short Test career yet.

He began with a quartet of crisp drives off Southee and beat the close catching trap Kane Williamson had set for him courtesy two slips, two gullies, two short covers and a backward point. He responded with a pull to the vacant leg side.

With neither Southee nor Boult able to dislodge him, Williamson turned to first innings hero Neil Wagner, who seemed to have been issued a license to attack. Wagner hit Cremer, who was content to let Williams take on the bowling and held his end, on the thigh pad, the left shoulder and eventually the left fore-arm, which Cremer broke earlier this year. The Zimbabwean captain, as he did with ball in hand, fought through it all.

Williams dealt well with the short ball and even forced Wagner to change his lengths and try a fuller delivery, which he then creamed through the covers. His most audacious shot followed – a cheeky ramp. Spin proved no problem for Williams either. Unlike his team-mates, whose footwork was marginal, Williams moved well at the crease and executed the sweep shot well.

His fifty came off 63 balls and even as lunch approached, he did not slow down his scoring rate. His partnership with Cremer had reached 97 by the break and although the deficit remains high, they will look to keep fighting through the afternoon.
