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

Euro 2016: Chris Coleman hails Wales 'heart and courage'

Manager Chris Coleman says Wales showed “heart and courage” as they reached the Euro 2016 quarter finals with a 1-0 win over Northern Ireland.

Wales edged a tense last-16 match at the Parc des Princes in Paris courtesy of Gareth McAuley’s own goal.

Coleman’s side will face Belgium or Hungary in the last eight.

“These boys, the good thing about them is they have a bit of spirit about them and when they’re not playing so well they can hang in,” Coleman said.

“We showed a lot of heart today, a lot of courage and showed another side to our game.

“We came through it and it is a fantastic achievement – it feels brilliant.”

Better team lost

Northern Ireland had frustrated Wales with a resolute defensive display up until McAuley’s 75th-minute own goal.

And Coleman conceded Michael O’Neill’s side, also appearing in their first European Championship finals, were the better team on the day.

“Northern Ireland were the underdogs and you wouldn’t have thought that looking at the game,” Coleman told BBC Sport.

“Northern Ireland are very organised. Michael has got them working very hard for each other and they’re dangerous.

“We had to be patient and we hung on in there. The performance does not put a downer on it.

“I would rather be standing here, in the quarter-final, having not played at our best.”

Incredible achievement

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, whose cross led to the winning goal, hailed Wales’ achievement in reaching the quarter finals as “incredible”.

Wales celebrate<!–

Wales are playing in a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.

“We knew it was going to be an ugly match and no disrespect to Ireland, but they make it difficult to play and we knew that, we knew it from the start,” Bale said.

“We knew that up top we were not going to get much service, there is not much space, but we worked hard and did everything we could.

“We knew one goal would likely be enough to win the game and thankfully it came for us.

“You can’t ask for any more than this – it is incredible.”

Williams injury worry

Wales celebrate<!–

Wales ended the contest with skipper Ashley Williams suffering with an apparent arm injury.

Williams already seemed to be moving tentatively before a bruising collision with team-mate Jonny Williams floored and rattled him late on.

Substitute James Collins was ready to enter the game, but Williams insisted he stayed on the field.

“He’s a bit tender with his shoulder. The next 24-48 hours will be key,” Coleman said.

“It will be crucial whether it’s bruising, whether it’s impact or – hopefully not – there’s damage to any ligaments or a tear in his muscle.”

Having apparently recovered from the collision, Williams briefly sat down on the pitch as play continued, leading Coleman to ready a substitute.

“I thought he was struggling because he couldn’t move his arm. I was going to take him off – he said he was OK to continue so, of course, I trust my captain.

“We were right to keep him on. He still made some important interceptions.”

Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill felt Wales deliberately made the most of Williams’ situation.

“I was disappointed with the time-wasting. The [Welsh] bench told Ashley Williams to sit down,” he told BBC Sport.
