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

Inzamam-ul-Haq appointed Pakistan chief selector

Inzamam-ul-Haq has been appointed chief selector of Pakistan. Inzamam, a former Pakistan captain, had been coaching Afghanistan since October 2015, and was originally contracted by the ACB until December 2016. But ACB chief Shafiq Stanikzai, on Saturday, said they were ready to release him.

This will be Inzamam’s first experience as a selector, however he has worked with the Pakistan team before. For a brief period, he was their batting consultant in 2012-13. He heads a panel that includes former opening batsman Wajahatullah Wasti, Tauseef Ahmed, an offspinner who played 34 Tests and 70 ODIs and seam-bowling allrounder Wasim Haider, who played three ODIs and over 100 first-class and List A matches.

“I have played a lot for Pakistan but it’s for the first time that I have come [as selector] and the PCB has given me such an important responsibility,” Inzamam said. “I want to thank ACB that they allowed me to do national duty. The three selectors should be involved in first-class cricket and [we have] one fast bowler, one spinner and one batsman so that we can cover three sectors.”

Inzamam’s appointment comes in the wake of several changes in Pakistan cricket. His former team-mate Waqar Younis had stepped down as coach on April 2 and a day later, Shahid Afridi announced he was relinquishing his T20 captaincy. This shake-up was the result of a poor 2016 for Pakistan. They lost the T20 and the ODI series in New Zealand in January. Their only win in the Asia Cup T20 in February was against the UAE. In the ensuing World T20, they lost three out of four games and were knocked out.

Performance reports from Waqar and team manager Intikhab Alam had made several points pertaining to selections. Waqar recommended that the chief selector “should be someone who has played modern-era cricket and has a positive vision” and had recommended Inzamam for the job.

Pakistan bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed, who was rested for the Asia Cup and World T20, has assumed the role of coach at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.

Pakistan’s next assignment is a full tour of England – four Tests, five ODIs and a lone T20I – that starts in July. Inzamam cautioned against expecting an immediate change in performance.

“We have to be patient, don’t expect anything soon, I will see the players first, Inshallah you will see a change soon. I am here for the national duty and I won’t leave it,” he said. “To select a team is a very important thing, it has to be done by some cricketer, I will try to fulfill my duty. It’s the start, I don’t have a magic wand, it will take time, there will be technical things other problems too which we have to see.

“I can’t talk about the last selection committee, but you have to make a pool of players and guide them and spend time with them. When you make changes, you face problems, but we will be back on track if we make a pool of players.

“I will try and also hope that I will be allowed to work independently. My role is different, when I was the captain I used to give my suggestions now I will listen to them (captains) too what’s their suggestion.

When I was the captain I used to have my say. The captain is the main man. Like how I used to give my suggestion, I will give importance to what captain and coach will say because they are the ones who matter inside the ground.”
