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

Women's Champions League: Arsenal injuries add to Wolfsburg challenge

[ad_1]

Arsenal's Stina Blackstenius celebrates scoring their second goal v Bayern Munich in Champions League semi-final
Date: Sunday, 22 April Venue: VfL Wolfsburg Arena, Germany Kick-off: 14:30 BST
Coverage: Live text coverage on the BBC Sport website

Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall says “of course” his side will miss injured defender Leah Williamson as they prepare to face Wolfsburg in their Champions League semi-final.

Her Arsenal team-mates Vivianne Miedema and Beth Mead were ruled out with the same injury earlier in the season.

“It’s a very tough injury,” said Eidevall. “[Williamson] is being logical about it. She’s been around the training ground, which is great, to stay connected to the team.

“Of course we’re going to miss Leah – like we are missing Beth and we are missing Viv. But it’s about always looking forward as a club.”

Injuries mounting for Arsenal

After a disappointing midweek defeat at Manchester United in the Women’s Super League, injury-hit Arsenal head to Wolfsburg for the first leg before hosting the return leg at Emirates Stadium on 1 May.

It illustrates the quality and depth of the Arsenal squad that despite such remarkable ill fortune with injuries this campaign, they remain in contention for a Treble.

Along with their trio of ACL injury victims, captain Kim Little is out for the rest of the season with a hamstring problem while Caitlin Foord and Lina Hurtig are also missing for the first leg.

Katie McCabe will be available after missing the United defeat through suspension.

“It’s all about being fully present tomorrow, playing as well as we possibly can, but to remember that no matter what happens tomorrow it’s only half-time,” says Eidevall.

“We need to have a huge performance on Sunday so we get a good result to take back to London.”

Wolfsburg’s European pedigree

Wolfsburg celebrate v Arsenal

It is nine years since Wolfsburg’s last Champions League triumph in 2014, when they went back-to-back in the competition, but they are regulars in the latter stages.

They have reached at least the quarter-finals every year since 2013, making the final in 2016, 2018 and 2020.

Arsenal know all about the threat Tommy Stroot’s side pose after being knocked out of last year’s tournament at the quarter-final stage by the German outfit.

Eidevall says his side will be coming up against “one of the best attacks in Europe”, with the likes of Lena Oberdorf, Jill Roord and Ewa Pajor in the Wolfsburg side, although they are set to be without captain and star striker Alexandra Popp through injury.

Wolfsburg also faced the Gunners on their way to claiming the Champions League in 2013, winning both legs of the semi-final to triumph 4-1 on aggregate.

Gunners midfielder Jen Beattie was involved in that tie, but says “the feeling of how special playing in the Champions League has accelerated beyond imagination”.

“The exposure that the game has now has gone above and beyond any expectation I had as a kid going into that game. It’s a pleasure to still be a part of it and still be at Arsenal to be able to experience these big games. I love it.”

Wolfsburg edged out Paris St-Germain in the last eight and thrashed Bayern Munich 5-0 in the DFB Pokal semi-final last weekend.
