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

D’Brickashaw Ferguson thanks fans in retirement letter

Kathy Willens/AP D’Brickashaw Ferguson says that a desire ‘to pursue other goals in life’ led him to retire. D’Brickashaw Ferguson formally announced his retirement Saturday morning in a letter posted on the team’s official website. The three-time Pro Bowl left tackle never missed a snap due to injury in his 10-year career. He’ll be honored in the team’s Ring of Honor one day. His thank you letter to fans, teammates, etc. is below: My Fans, As I considered the words I would say to you, I recognize a simple truth: It just isn’t easy saying goodbye.

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

Showmethewayavrilo wins the prize for the best named horse running

 By David Ashforth 6:40PM 8 MAY 2016 

FIRST things first. The prize for the best named horse running on Monday goes to owner-breeders Eric Jones and Pat Hancock for Showmethewayavrilo.

By Showcasing out of Avrilo, Showmethewayavrilo not only has a good name but also a fine chance of winning the 3.00 at Wolverhampton.

Of course, it should really be Isthisthewaytoavrilo, if not Isthisthewaytoamarillo, but Hancock and Jones only had 18 characters to play with. So get ready for the winner’s enclosure and the chance to singalong.

The only serious musical competition is from Edward Elgar who, although dead for over 80 years, has already shown that he can hurdle proficiently, posthumously. In case he wins at Towcester (6.00) I’d like to be the first to write “Harry Skelton got a nice tune out of Edward Elgar.” Thank you.

Later, in the amateur riders’ hurdle (7.30), Mr Tommie O’Brien’s experience enhances the chance of Diego Suarez abandoning his maiden status. Several riders are inexperienced, none more so than Miss G L Double (7), who hasn’t got any, at least under Rules.

Then again, at Musselburgh, neither has Miss A M Slack (7), presumably Anna Slack, daughter of trainer Kenneth Slack. She makes her debut on Omid in the amateur riders’ race (2.10). Good luck to both of them.

Two claimers to follow

A 7lb claim covers a wide range of experience and competence. A capable young jockey in the right place at the right time and with the right attitude can quickly be in demand, witness the recent exploits of Adam McNamara and George Wood.

McNamara, 19, who rides at Musselburgh for Iain Jardine and Patrick Morris (4.10 and 5.45) joined Richard Fahey from Ireland. Since riding his first winner in January he has ridden eight more from 53 rides in the UK (0 from 11 in Ireland).

He has very much been noticed and so has Wood. James Fanshawe’s 18 year old apprentice has ridden five winners, all this year and four of them in the last fortnight, from a grand total of 37 rides last year and this. Winning a competitive handicap on Knight Owl at Newmarket on Qipco 2,000 Guineas day has helped. Today Wood has a ride for Roger Teal at Brighton (4.20).

It’s disappointing that only one of Brighton’s seven races has eight runners but the card does offer the chance to study a few more 7lb claiming apprentices. The most experienced is Charlie Bennett with 16 winners from 246 rides over five seasons. He will be keen to win again on Bahamian Boy (2.20) for his boss Hughie Morrison because, after 34 rides, Bennett is still waiting for his first winner this year.

In the same race, Daioni is unlikely to give Chris Kelly his first ever winner on just his 13th ride, but it’s all necessary experience. Look out too for Sophie Killoran, (12 winners from 140 rides), in the 2.50, Rhiain Ingram (11 from 219) in the 3.50 and 7.50 at Windsor, and Mitch Godwin (5 from 71) in the 3.50. A small day but not for them.
