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

FA Cup final predictions Chris Sutton v Noel Gallagher and Tom Grennan

Sutton's Predictions

The 142nd FA Cup final is the first to be an all-Manchester affair, but will it be City or United who will be celebrating at Wembley this weekend?

We asked BBC Sport’s football expert Chris Sutton for his prediction, as well as a famous fan of both teams – Manchester City supporter Noel Gallagher and Tom Grennan, who follows Manchester United.

Newly-crowned Premier League champions City are also in next week’s Champions League final and Saturday sees them try to take another step towards the Treble – a feat only United have managed before, in 1999.

How would City’s compare?

“You hear United fans now going “ours is the better Treble”,” Gallagher told BBC Sport. “David Beckham was texting me saying that the other night, and I was like “no, ours will be better”.

“He asked why and I told him, “because we will beat you on the way”, so, yeah of course ours would top theirs if we get to smash them in the FA Cup final first.”

Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ new album, Council Skies, is out on Friday. The album artwork sees the band’s live equipment set up on the site of the original centre-spot of Maine Road, Manchester City’s former home.

This year marks 100 years since the ground was opened and 20 since the club left for Etihad Stadium.

The album reflects on Noel’s formative years in Manchester, when he would gaze up at the sky and wonder how his life might turn out.

That including dreaming of success for City, who had a lean spell in the 1980s and 1990s, but are now the dominant force in English football. After lifting their fifth Premier League title in six seasons, they are aiming to complete a Treble by winning the FA Cup and Champions League finals – they face Inter Milan in Istanbul on June 10.

“It doesn’t seem unbelievable now, because we are a few years into this,” Gallagher added.

“But when Sheikh Mansour took over at City in 2008 I remember thinking at the time, ‘well, who’s this guy?’ and the guy who was fronting it was saying ‘we are going to buy Cristiano Ronaldo’ and all that kind of silly stuff.

“I was like ‘oh no, is this going to be another City comedy show?’ – but since then it has all taken shape.

“First we had to finish in the top four, then we won the FA Cup. That summer [2011] we bought Sergio Aguero and there was a moment the following season when the team trotted out one afternoon and we had people like Sergio, David Silva, Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany in the team.

“It was only then I thought we could win the Premier League and we’ve obviously done that a few times now.

“I guess Istanbul is the final step, but these are such exciting times – it’s never been any better than this.”

Tom Grennan

Tom Grennan’s new album, What Ifs & Maybes, is released on 16 June.

The Bedford-born singer, who was on the books of Luton Town, Northampton and Stevenage as a youngster, grew up as a United fan during a time when they were the top dogs and won that coveted Treble under Sir Alex Ferguson.

It is 10 years since their last league title, but Erik ten Hag has already ended a six-year wait for silverware by winning the Carabao Cup and they are looking to complete their own domestic cup double on Sunday.

“Ten Hag has been unbelievable in his first season in charge,” Grennan told BBC Sport.

“He’s given us a new lease of life and we look like a team with a plan again. Don’t get me wrong, there is still a lot to do, and much more to achieve, but whatever happens at Wembley he’s won a trophy already and got us back in the Champions League.

“We need to strengthen in the summer for sure but I’m looking forward to seeing what Ten Hag does in the transfer market and next season is going to be very exciting.”

Chris Sutton: “Manchester United have had a great season and are desperate to stop City winning the Treble, but in the end it comes down to who has the better players.

“Pep Guardiola is going to go as strong as he can – he won’t be thinking about the Champions League final – and a full-strength City are the superior side.”

Noel Gallagher: “This is life and death for United but it’s ironic because all my United-supporting friends, they are not talking about winning the FA Cup, they are talking about stopping City winning the Treble.

“I am like, you know what, you used to accuse us of being small-time when we used to talk like that about United and the difference was we hadn’t won anything. You are the biggest club in the world, by your own admission, yet all you are bothered about is stopping City winning the Treble?

“They are still saying things like, “well, we’ll stop you”, but I just think well, we’ve got Pep Guardiola. Under any other manager, say Manuel Pellegrini, I would be worried that maybe the players won’t be putting it in because they want to play in the Champions League final next week. But I know Guardiola and he won’t wear that – this game is going to be life and death for us as well, even with Istanbul to come.”
