DALLAS -- Former Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent was sentenced Friday to 180 days in jail and 10 years of probation for a drunken car crash that killed his friend and teammate, Jerry Brown. Brent was convicted Wednesday of intoxication manslaughter for the December 2012 crash on a suburban Dallas highway that killed Brown, who was a passenger in Brents car. Brent could have been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. Brent, a Cowboys defensive tackle, and Brown, a linebacker on the practice squad, also played together at the University of Illinois and were close friends. They were headed home from a night of partying with Dallas teammates when Brent lost control of his Mercedes and crashed. Officers who arrived on scene saw Brent trying to pull Browns ....... from the wreckage. Blood tests pegged Brents blood alcohol content at 0.18 per cent, which is more than twice the states legal limit to drive of 0.08 per cent. Prosecutors told jurors that the burly, 320-pound lineman had as many as 17 drinks on the night of the crash. One of Brents lawyers, George Milner, argued that Brent wasnt drunk and was only "guilty of being stupid behind the wheel of a car." He contended that Brent couldnt have had nearly as much to drink as prosecutors said he had, and that the police blood tests were flawed. Brents lawyers pushed their case for probation Thursday, calling a Dallas County official who testified that the county currently has 34 intoxication manslaughter cases that resulted in probation. Kevin Brooks, one of Brents lawyers, said the one-time defensive tackle would be easy to monitor because of "who he is and who he was." Brent retired from football last year. Browns mother, Stacey Jackson, has also publicly forgiven Brent. When asked Thursday if she holds Brent responsible for her sons death, she said: "Hes still responsible, but you cant go on in life holding a grudge. We all make mistakes." Prosecutors pushed for prison time for Brent, who went to trial only weeks after another Texas intoxication manslaughter case sparked widespread public outrage. In that case, a defence expert argued that the defendant, a 17-year-old boy who caused a drunken crash that killed four people, deserved leniency because his parents coddled him into a sense of irresponsibility -- a condition the expert termed "affluenza." The teen wasnt given prison time. On Thursday, prosecutor Rebecca Dodds emphasized Brents 2009 drunken driving arrest in Illinois to press the states argument that he deserves prison time. In that case, he served 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to a misdemeanour charge. "Probation doesnt work for Josh Brent," prosecutor Rebecca Dodds told the jury during closing statements in the punishment phase. Brent played in all 12 games for the Cowboys in 2012 before the crash. Brown made the practice squad that season. Tony Gonzalez Womens Jersey . So they rushed to re-sign the first baseman who general manager Ben Cherington described Friday as "a unique player."

Jeff Green and Jordan Crawford each scored 19 points, Bass added 15 points and had a game-saving block in the closing seconds Saturday, and the Celtics held on for a 103-100 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. http://www.kcchiefsnflfansclub.com/Blac ... ml?cat=866. It will be their 15th head-to-head meeting and fourth in the post-season (Sunday at 2pm et/11am pt on CTV) and for his part, Brady isnt downplaying just how big the game is for him. "Im excited - Its everything you could ask for as an athlete," the New England Patriots quarterback told WEEI Radio in Boston on Monday. Tyreek Hill Chiefs Jersey . -- Cole De Vries had a couple of key strikeouts during what could have been the inning that doomed him to defeat against the Kansas City Royals, allowing him to escape further damage and keep the game tied up. Spencer Ware Jersey . Span, Danny Espinosa and Adam LaRoche had two hits apiece as Washington won the final two games of the series. The Nationals improved to 3-7 against Atlanta. They increased their division lead over the Braves to 1 1/2 games.PARK CITY, Utah - Two weeks shy of his 36th birthday, "pretty shriveled up" and likely nearing the end of his competitive career, Bode Miller cant help but think of legacies. Not the five Olympic medals, the four world titles and whether he is, as most people think, the best male skier the United States has ever had. Thats for other people to decide. "I think theyre more titles for everyone else," Miller said on Monday at the U.S. Olympic Committee media summit. "Youre renting the title until somebody else takes it away. If youre too attached to it, youre going to be bummed out when your rental agreement runs out." No, what matters to him is the impact hes had on skiing. "Its not so much about my legacy as it is about ski racing in general. Ski racing deserves what you can give to it," he said. "Its been the love of my life up until now." Even if its been, to the outside world, something of a tortured relationship. Miller was just 20 when he made his first Olympic team in 1998, too inexperienced even to know what he didnt know. He remembers feeling confident when he stepped into the starting gate, only to get through 15 gates before sailing off the course. By the time he reached the bottom — cartwheeling across the finish line — the Japanese fans greeted him with "raucous applause." "In 98, I was basically throwing the dice," he said. By the time the Turin Olympics rolled around, Miller was skiings biggest star. Like La Bomba and the Herminator before him, his success on the slopes — he won four world titles from 2003 to 2005, and claimed his first overall World Cup title in 2005 — was surpassed only by his larger-than-life personality off them. Raised in rural New Hampshire, he is brash, unconventional and free-spirited. (While most other athletes wore sneakers or boots Monday, Miller sported aqua blue flip-flops.) But the very traits that make him so appealing also were his undoing. Disdainful of the goal-oriented nature of Olympic sports — to say nothing of the celebrity culture that goes with them — Miller found trouble at every turn in Turin. He made waves by refusing to live in the athletes village. He said he had mixed feelings about the U.S. Ski Teams "Best in the World" motto, saying the organization needed to put as much into it as the skiers did. And after all those expectations, he didnt medal, failing even to finish in three of his events. Later, he brushed off criticism of his failure, saying hed managed to "party and sociialize at an Olympic level.dddddddddddd." "Dealing with those kind of tough situations, its obviously part of growing and being a grown-up," Miller said. "When youre under the magnifying glass like that, theres no way to really judge yourself too harshly in hindsight. Obviously, I could have said things differently, I could have done things differently. A lot of other people could have done things differently, too. "I had chances to win, I was prepared. I dont think I did anything dramatically as evil as it was portrayed. But I think thats part of being under the microscope that way, and Im fully capable of dealing with it. It didnt really ruffle me as bad as I think a lot of people would have expected. I just dont seem to get bothered by that stuff that much." Four years later, skiing had a new star in Lindsey Vonn. But the spotlight found Miller once again, this time for all the right reasons. He won a medal of every colour at the Vancouver Olympics, including a gold in the super combined. That gave him a total of five Olympic medals, more than any other U.S. skier. Miller won his 33rd World Cup title, in the downhill at Beaver Creek, in December 2011. But he had microfracture surgery on his left knee in February 2012 and wound up missing the entire 2012-13 season. The break re-energized him, giving him a chance to spend time with his wife and kids. "Being away from the sport was really healthy for me," Miller said. "Ive been in it so long with so little time away that I was definitely taxed ... to a point that I was getting frustrated at times. The fact is, if youre going to do it, the process deserves better than that. Now I think Im in a place where I can participate fully, and not put as much strain on myself." Miller accompanied the rest of the U.S. team to Portillo, Chile, and said his knee feels "perfect" as he readies for his return to competition this month. Asked about his expectations for Sochi, Miller said he intends to "kick (butt)" in what is almost certainly his last Olympics. "Everyone looks for these big epiphanies," he said. "Ive spent lot of time and energy being a ski racer. Ive earned the right to compete at a high level and Ive spent a lot of pain and a lot of energy trying to develop these skills. The Olympics, to me, is just a great opportunity to enjoy that. "Its a perishable process, being a ski racer. Until youre all rotten or shriveled up, you should keep going. Im pretty shriveled up, but Im not all rotten. Not yet."
