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

Faugheen-360

Faugheen: victory at the weekend has earned a RPR of 176

FAUGHEEN has been ranked as the highest-rated two-mile hurdler since Istabraq following his scintillating runaway success in the Irish Champion Hurdle at the weekend.

The Willie Mullins-trained star has been given a RPR (Racing Post Ratings) of 176 for his victory, the highest rating for a horse in the two-mile hurdle division since 1999.

Faugheen’s performance at Leopardstown on Sunday brought rapturous praise from rider Ruby Walsh, who described him as “absolutely brilliant”.

Mullins described the victory as “electrifying” and bookies, who had Faugheen as a 8-13 festival favourite before the race, now make him no bigger than 2-5 to defend the Stan James Champion Hurdle crown at Cheltenham in March.

With Faugheen already ranked – at least on RPRs – as the finest two-mile hurdler of the 21st century, the big question now is increasingly not whether anything can beat him at Cheltenham, but how high his star can soar.

RPR analysis: Faugheen the best since Istabraq

Willie Mullins dominated the Grade 1 action at the weekend, when his most significant winner on RPRs was Faugheen (176), whose runaway success in the Irish Champion Hurdle ranks him as the best two-mile hurdler since Istabraq, writes Sam Walker.

The eight-year-old’s 15-length win over familiar rival Arctic Fire (160) was the best performance we have seen from Faugheen – and the best from any two-mile hurdler for the last 15 years.

Nichols Canyon (151) may have underperformed in third, but the margins were huge, the time was good and the winner was really impressive.

Faugheen’s odds for a repeat Cheltenham success were cut after this victory, while perhaps more interestingly the odds of distant second Arctic Fire were also clipped, making him clear second favourite. That says it all about the lack of competition for the Stan James Champion Hurdle favourite.
