MLB: Ten Days In Prison For Jayson Werth

MLB: Ten Days In Prison For Jayson Werth
National’s outfielder Jayson Werth was convicted Friday of reckless driving and sentenced to 10 days in jail for driving his Porsche over 100 mph on the Capital Beltway earlier this year.Fairfax County General District Court Judge Penney Azcarate said a jail sentence was appropriate given the excessive speed."I-495 is not a racetrack," Azcarate said in imposing the sentence. She added that her sentence would be the same regardless of "what a person does for a living."

Werth, wearing glasses and a conservative suit, briefly took the stand in his own defense. He conceded that he may have been going 90 mph, but disputed that he ever broke 100. He immediately appealed his conviction to Fairfax County Circuit Court. It is not unusual in Virginia for defendants to receive short jail sentences on reckless driving convictions where the speeds exceed 100 mph.

Werth's lawyer, Rod Leffler, sought unsuccessfully to have the case tossed out, questioning the reliability of the trooper's pacing of Werth. Leffler also asked the judge to take into account that the speeding occurred at 9:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, when traffic was light. Leffler did not return a call Friday seeking comment. Werth, 35, has three seasons left on a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Nationals. He batted .292 last season with 16 home runs and 82 RBIs in 147 games.While the judge imposed a 10-day sentence, in reality Werth would likely serve only five days because of rules and procedures at the county jail.

During the trial, state trooper P.L. Green testified that on July 6, he followed Werth for about half a mile on the beltway at 105 miles an hour before pulling him over on the exit to the George Washington Parkway. Green said he drew his weapon as a precaution as he approached Werth, though he quickly holstered it and said the conversation they had during the stop was cordial. Green said he asked Werth what he was doing and Werth said "he was pushing his luck."National’s general manager Mike Rizzo said in a statement Friday that Werth "has cooperated fully with the authorities throughout this process" and declined further comment.

MLB: Andrew Miller Gets Four Million

By Midnight Man, in Sports,

MLB: Andrew Miller Gets Four Million
Yankees signed free-agent left-handed reliever Andrew Miller to a four-year , $36 million contract. General manager Brian Cashman said the team's original offer for Miller was four years, $32 million, but the Yankees upped it to $9 million per year when they learned the lefty had a four-year, $40 million deal on the table from another club. That means Miller left $4 million on the table to play for the Yankees.

The 6-foot-7 Miller, who will turn 30 in May, spent the end of the 2014 season with the Orioles, having been traded by the Red Sox, for whom he had pitched the previous 3 ½ seasons -- at the trade deadline. Miller began his career with the Tigers, who selected him with the sixth overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft, and pitched three seasons with the Florida Marlins before joining Boston in 2011. Miller, essentially a two-pitch pitcher (fastball and slider) has a 30-38 career record and 4.91 career ERA.

NFL: Jeff Tedford Released From Buccaneers

NFL: Jeff Tedford Released From Buccaneers
The Buccaneers released offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford, who has been on an indefinite leave of absence due to health reasons, from his contract Friday to "pursue other opportunities," the team announced in a release. Tedford had a heart procedure performed just before the start of the season and hasn't called a play for the Bucs since the third preseason game.

"Throughout these difficult circumstances, our primary concern was for Jeff's health and well-being," Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith said in a statement. "After speaking with Jeff in recent days, it became obvious that a mutual decision to release him from his contract was the best way forward. We wish Jeff continued success in the next phase of his career”.

Tedford, who was the head coach at California from 2002-12, had joined the Bucs along with Smith in January. "When my health issues arose, I simply tried to ignore them, and then I made the mistake of twice trying to come back too early," Tedford said in a statement. "At that point, the organization proposed, and I agreed, that an indefinite leave of absence would allow me the proper amount of time to rest and rehabilitate myself. I am happy to state that I'm healthy now and feeling great.

"The Buccaneers have been very accommodating to me and my family during this time and, while they left the door open for a possible return, I feel that coming back at this point would disrupt the trust and continuity that builds throughout the season in offensive meeting rooms and on the sidelines."Quarterbacks coach Marcus Arroyo, who was on Tedford's staff at California, has called plays for the Bucs (2-10) this season with input from the rest of the offensive staff.

The Bucs are averaging 313.6 yards and 18.3 points per game, while ranking 26th in total offense and 28th in scoring.Tedford is the second offensive coordinator in the past six seasons to leave the team without ever calling a play during the regular season. Jeff Jagodzinski was hired by incoming coach Raheem Morris in 2009, but was fired before Tampa Bay's final preseason game.

NFL: Chief’s Travis Kelce Fined $11,025 For Obscene Gesture
Chief’s tight end Travis Kelce was fined $11,025 by the league for unsportsmanlike conduct. Kelce made an obscene gesture that Chiefs coach Andy Reid later called immature. Kelce has been unavailable all week to discuss the gesture. He made the gesture during the fourth quarter of the 29-16 loss to the Broncos. After the game, Kelce explained on Twitter that the gesture was aimed at Miller for the late hit and not at Coleman. Kelce later deleted that tweet. Miller was not fined for the hit on Smith.

Someone Vandalized Bill Cosby’s Star

Someone Vandalized Bill Cosby’s Star
Bill Cosby’s star has officially been tarnished. Following weeks of reputation-damaging allegations of sexual abuse against the comedian, an unknown vandal has defaced Bill Cosby's Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Cosby's famous sidewalk placard, which sits on the 6900 block of Hollywood Boulevard and was given to him in 1977, was the victim of some graffiti. Someone took a blue pen to the star and wrote "Rapist" three times on it.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has responded to the vandalism, "The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an institution celebrating the positive contributions of the inductees. When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways then [sic] to vandalize a California State landmark. The star is being cleaned up at this time."To date, more than 20 women have come forward with claims that Cosby sexually assaulted them, often using pills to drug them first.
