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

Guyana Amazon Warriors 161 for 4 (Pollard 47, Taylor 37, Tanvir 2-24) beat Barbados Tridents 158 for 6 (Lynn 57, Mohammed 57*, Reifer 2-22) by six wickets

Barbados Tridents will not be going back to the CPL finals for a third consecutive year after a six-wicket loss in Florida to Guyana Amazon Warriors in their final match of the 2016 regular season eliminated them from playoff contention. At the same time, Warriors leaped past Jamaica Tallawahs into first place and have guaranteed themselves at least two chances of making the CPL final for the third time, having moved four points clear of the third place Zouks.

Chris Lynn and Jason Mohammed were the batting saviors for Warriors in a tricky chase of Tridents 158 for 6. Tridents got off to a great start in defense of the total when Dwayne Smith was bowled through the gate on the first ball of the chase by Floyd Reifer. Lynn took the wind out of Tridents’ sails almost immediately, hitting his third and fourth balls for four and six respectively over the off side. Lynn found the offside boundary on three consecutive balls to end the second over from Ravi Rampaul as well, putting a charge into a crowd that was heavily behind the Warriors.

Captain Kieron Pollard went to spin starting in the third over and Akeal Hosein and Imran Khan bowled brilliantly throughout the rest of the Powerplay to rein in Lynn and Nic Maddinson with the legspinner Khan claiming Maddison to a mistimed slog well caught by a tumbling Ahmed Shehzad coming in from deep midwicket. After bolting to 27 for 1 in two overs, Guyana stood at 62 for 2 by the halfway stage having failed to hit a boundary since the fifth over.

Lynn rectified that though by targeting David Wiese in the 11th, hitting the South African for six over midwicket on the first ball of the over and then once more over the sightscreen later in the over. Jason Mohammed, who was subdued at the opposite end on 9 off 16 balls through 12 overs, finally found his range against Marchant de Lange in the 13th, clubbing him for the first two of his five sixes.

Tridents began to roar back a few overs later when captain Pollard took a good catch on the boundary to claim Lynn for Reifer. In the following over, Pollard struck with the ball, removing Anthony Bramble with a slower ball yorker that struck the batsman on the toe as the umpire sided with Pollard’s appeal to silence the crowd and inflating the required rate back up to 10 runs per over for the final four.

The pendulum swung back against Pollard for the 18th however, as Mohammed picked up a ball on his legs and slammed it deep over midwicket for six. Later in the over, Christopher Barnwell flicked just past short fine leg in the circle to give the Tridents four more. Mohammed’s fourth sixth came in the 19th off Rampaul, smashing it over extra cover to bring up his 50 in 37 balls and he ended the match in style by smashing his fifth and final one of the day once more over the leg side before a charging down the pitch for a victory leap.

Despite fighting until the final over in the field, Tridents total always looked under par after St Lucia Zouks posted 206 for 3 earlier in the day. American Steven Taylor, who grew up in Miramar just 20 minutes away from the Central Broward Regional Park, looked at home playing inside his local stomping ground. Coming off a crisp 35 a day earlier playing for a CPL Invitational XI against a USA XI inside the stadium, Taylor was put back into the Tridents lineup for the first time since July 16 and rewarded that decision by stroking 37 off 21 balls with seven fours.

Adam Zampa ended Taylor’s knock, inducing the left-hander to scoop a drive to long-off and despite a good platform laid with the score 50 for 2 in the eighth, no other Tridents batsman could match Taylor’s scoring rate until Wiese appeared with three overs to go to make 13 off six balls. Pollard top-scored with 47 off 36 balls but crucially both he and Shoaib Malik fell on consecutive balls to end the 17th and start the 18th overs just when a late surge was required. In addition to Pollard, Sohail Tanvir claimed Nicholas Pooran in a clever spell at the death, ensuring the Warriors target would not be insurmountable.
