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

Djakadam and Ruby Walsh

Djakadam: has been ridden y Walsh on his last six starts

RUBY WALSH has several big decisions to make this week as he chooses from the assembled masses of Willie Mullins-trained Cheltenham Festival contenders, and he faces a big dilemma in the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Mullins has six of the remaining 14 entries for Friday’s race, and Walsh has yet to pick between last year’s runner-up Djakadam, and this season’s second-favourite, Vautour.

Although he may be odds-on with bookmakers to partner Vautour, Walsh is positive about the chances of both horses in the festival highlight, and spoke to Alastair Down for The Big Read in Sunday’s Racing Post.

“Vautour will be better left-handed and has been phenomenal around Cheltenham,” Walsh said. I should have held on more in the King George and if it had been left-handed he would have won.

“He has unbelievable ability, but at Kempton – though nobody seems to have spotted it – he was jumping just a bit left-handed. That’s two fences going away from the stands and four down the back when I had to fractionally break his stride – six times in all.

“I could never let fly with him because I had to haul him back all the time. It made a big difference.”

Don’t dismiss Djakadam

On his last start Djakadam fell when odds-on to win his Gold Cup trial at Cheltenham in January, but ran a mighty race 12 months ago behind Coneygree.

Walsh is a fan of the seven-year-old’s stamina, and added: “By God it was some performance from him. He’s a big horse, although he doesn’t look as big as he is – but he’s over 17 hands.

“He was off the bridle three out but he never flinched, never flinched for a second. He’s in very good nick and will definitely stay every yard of three and a quarter miles.”

Vautour is second in the betting for the Gold Cup at 9-2, while Djakadam is an 11-2 chance.
