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

Don Cossack: Gold Cup contender set to run in Thursday’s Kinloch Brae

DON COSSACK’S Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup credentials will be put to the test at Thurles on Thursday, with trainer Gordon Elliott seeking to iron out his jumping deficiencies before he sets sail for the Cotswolds.

The Gold Cup second favourite fell two out in the King George last month and Elliott wants another run for his stable star as he fears going straight to Cheltenham could blow his chances.

But Elliott is adamant the home of jump racing holds no terrors for his stable star despite two disappointments at the festival, blaming bad luck on his reverses in the RSA Chase and Ryanair Chase.

Rider Bryan Cooper believed he had eventual winner Cue Card covered when Don Cossack, a top-priced 5-1 for the Gold Cup, departed at Kempton and Elliott is keen to give last season’s highest-rated chaser another outing just 19 days later.

The trainer said on Sunday: “We are definitely going to Thurles on Thursday. He’ll have a good blow in the morning [Monday], and if that goes to plan we’re heading back to the Kinloch Brae.

“He won the race last year and it fits into our schedule. I’d prefer another week, but if we don’t go to Thurles where do we go? I wouldn’t want to bottom him in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown in February, so Thurles is a better option.

“It’s better to go to Thurles than straight to the Gold Cup where, if he jumps big at the first few fences, it’s game over. He’s schooled well at home since and I’ve been very happy with him. Hopefully, everything will go according to plan on Thursday and then it’ll be all systems go for the Gold Cup.”

‘No luck at Cheltenham’

There is a school of thought that says Cheltenham does not play to Don Cossack’s strengths. He fell in the RSA in 2014 and was third in last year’s Ryanair when favourite.

But Elliott could not disagree more. He said: “If you actually look back at the videos of his two trips to Cheltenham you’ll see he has never travelled sweeter in a race than he did before he fell in the RSA in 2014, and everything was going fine until the second ditch in the Ryanair last year.

“Nothing went right after that. We’ve had no luck at Cheltenham over the last few years and I just hope that changes this time.”

Don Cossack is 2-9 with Paddy Power for the Kinloch Brae, with the going at Thurles on Sunday night described by clerk of the course Lorcan Wyer as heavy.
