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

Ludlow - Jan 08 - Edward Whitaker

Ludlow: Jaunty Inflight and Tambura may be carrying our man’s money

  PICTURE: Edward Whitaker  

 By David Ashforth 6:00PM 20 JAN 2016 

Thursday’s racing: Ludlow and Wincanton

BUT Boreas was angry, as was his wife Oreithyia and their daughter Chione and they did cause frost to descend upon Wincanton and Ludlow which was a real nuisance but what can you do when the God of the north wind, the Goddess of the cold winds and the Goddess of snow are against you?

I shall laugh in the face of Boreas and turn my back scornfully on the two Goddesses and shall plough on as if Wincanton and Ludlow had already passed their inspections. It’s better than facing up to Southwell and Chelmsford. If both jump meetings are off you won’t have to bother to read the rest.

Monkerty Tunkerty

I want Monkerty Tunkerty to win the Higos Insurance Services Somerset National Chase at Wincanton (2.45) and Jaunty Inflight to win the G C Rickards Ltd Handicap Chase at Ludlow (3.40). I also want Tambura to win (1.55). I don’t think Monkerty Tunkerty will win but I think Jaunty Inflight might and Tambura could.

A year ago Monkerty Tunkerty won the same race and the delight shown by trainer Jess Westwood and jockey Alice Mills was wonderful to watch. Westwood has only a handful of horses and has had only four winners in the last four seasons, all supplied by Monkerty Tunkerty. Mills cannot be accused of hogging the winner’s enclosure, either, so victory would be great for her too.

Today’s trip and ground are fine but Monkerty Tunkerty, who has been running moderately in novice hurdles recently, is 6lb higher and (obviously) a year older, making him a 13-year-old. We can cheer and we can hope but we had probably better not bet.

 A day to celebrate in Llanspyddid

It’s different at Ludlow, where we can cheer, hope and bet on Jaunty Inflight, who would be a similarly rare winner for Brian Eckley. Eckley has been training for more than 25 years. Some seasons he has a winner and some seasons he doesn’t. One season, 1999-2000, he had three.

So if Jaunty Inflight won today, it would be a day to celebrate in Llanspyddid, in the Brecon Beacons. I don’t think Richard Johnson has ridden for Eckley before but he’s riding Jaunty Inflight for him today when, presumably, he could be riding Lord Lir.

It’s easy to see why because Eckley’s seven-year-old jumped well when second on his chasing debut at Uttoxeter on New Year’s Eve and is only 2lb higher today.

Eckley is not the only man of mystery with runners at Ludlow. Barry Leavy (Georgian Firebird 12.50) has been training since 1999, regularly sending out handfuls rather than hatfuls of winners, but who is he? Just curious, that’s all.

There is one more thing. Go on Tambura! (1.55). I met owner-trainer Godfrey Maundrell recently. A lovely man, he rode his 150th point-to-point winner in 2011, when aged 62, having ridden a treble at Larkhill the previous year. Amazing. Tambura’s being doing well and, although she’s creeping up the weights, she’s got what is known as “a shout.” So let’s shout. Tambura!
