Having the cut tire and going into the tire barrier was just sort of salt in the wound." | Forum

DALLAS -- Johnny Manziel has a dismissal agreement with prosecutors that will require the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback to meet conditions for a year before being cleared of a domestic violence charge against him. Kostas Antetokounmpo Jersey .Dallas County District Attorneys Office spokeswoman Brittany Dunn said Manziel wasnt present Friday when the agreement was filed.The former Cleveland player will be required to complete an anger management class, attend a domestic violence impact panel and participate in the NFLs substance-abuse program or something similar.Manziel, who turns 24 Tuesday, faced a misdemeanor charge that carried a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine after the former Cleveland player was accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend Colleen Crowley during a night out in January.As with previous court orders, the former Texas A&M star will not be allowed to have contact with Crowley under the agreement.If the undersigned defendant fails to meet one of the requirements of this agreement or is charged with a new offense, the defendant will be prosecuted for this offense, the agreement states.Prosecutors said the agreement with Manziel was far from the end of its process.A conditional dismissal is only the beginning of the process of educating an individual on how to make better choices when facing conflict, prosecutors said. It is an important first step for a defendant. Success or failure will depend upon ones commitment to the treatment programs included.Judge Roberto Canas said at a hearing last month that the sides had reached a tentative deal. Canas had required Manziel to attend a hearing to finalize the agreement, but it was postponed Thursday so court personnel could attend the funeral of a bailiff.Im thankful to both the court and prosecutor for their hard work and diligence in trying to come to a fair and just resolution for all parties involved, Manziel attorney Jim Darnell said. My client is pleased to be able to put this part of the situation behind him and is eager to satisfy the terms of the agreement.Manziel, a free agent who hasnt signed with a team since the Browns released him in March, served a four-game suspension this season for violating the NFLs substance-abuse policy. He remains under review of the leagues domestic policy, which could include a six-game suspension under guidelines that were toughened after the NFL was criticized for its handling of Ray Rices domestic case.Manziels agreement is similar to one that star Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant successfully completed following a domestic incident involving his mother in 2012.Cleveland took the dazzling dual-threat quarterback 22nd overall in the 2014 draft, and the Browns cut him after two tumultuous seasons marked by inconsistent play and off-the-field headlines about his partying and drinking, including one stint in rehab. Since the 2015 season ended, Manziel has been dumped by two agents after both demanded a second trip to rehab.The allegations stem from a night out on Jan. 30. Crowley said Manziel accosted her at a Dallas hotel, a confrontation that continued downstairs to the valet station. She said he forced her into a car and a valet disregarded her pleas for help.The two eventually drove to where her car was parked in front of a Dallas bar, she said in an affidavit. She said Manziel got into the drivers seat and began to drive. Crowley said Manziel stopped when she tried to jump out of the car, but then he dragged her back inside and hit her.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Mavericks Jerseys Outlet .

Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. http://www.cheapmavericksjerseyschina.com/ ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.SONOMA, Calif. -- The post-race party was a blur after Martin Truex Jr.s first win in 2007. The celebratory cool-down lap, the burnouts, the drive to Victory Lane all happened so fast. So he planned to savour every minute of his next win. He just didnt think it would take six years. Truex snapped a 218-race winless streak Sunday with an easy victory on the road course at Sonoma Raceway. It was only the second win of Truexs career, but it put Michael Waltrip Racing in Victory Lane for the second year in a row after Clint Bowyer won here last season. Overwhelmed with emotion as he crossed the finish line, Truex made the celebration count. "I was a freaking mess. It was terrible," he said. "I had to stop and start doing donuts because I couldnt think about what I was doing. I tried to key the radio once and I couldnt even talk. So I thought, OK, Im going to do some donuts and wave to the fans. But after I stopped the first time and did that, I calmed down a little bit and I just wanted to make sure I took my time coming back, because I remember at Dover it all happens way too fast. You never know when youre going to get that opportunity again." Truex blew out his rear tires, tried to wave to every single fan he saw, and took a slow drive around the picturesque road course on his way to Victory Lane, where the MWR crew was waiting to drink from the winners enormous wine glass. "I told them on the radio, if theyre waiting on me, too bad. Im taking my time," he said. "You cant explain the feeling. When its been that long and you worked so hard and youve been so close ... when you think at times, Man, is this ever going to happen again? You cant explain the feeling. Its pretty surreal." Truex worked his way to the front and used strategy to stay with the leaders. He then pulled away after the final restart and built a healthy lead of more than six seconds over Juan Pablo Montoya, who was running second until he ran out of gas on the final lap. "Im ecstatic. But Im not exactly sure how that happened," said Truex, who admitted he wasnt pleased with his car following Fridays practices. "The car was just phenomenal all day long and once I was near the front and didnt have to run the car 110 per cent, it just would stay with me on the long runs and I was able to drive away from everyone." Montoya, who came into the weekend knowing if he didnt win he would at least have a huge points day, dropped all the way to 34th after having to coast to the finish. He took a shortcut to skip the final turn, drifted to the finish line and parked. He then walked back to the garage, annoyed his Chip Ganassi Racing team never told him to save fuel. "Weve got tools to prevent things like that from happening," Montoya said. "I dont know if all the fuel didnt go," Montoya said. "This is what weve been doing all year. We all work together and were all trying to do the best we can. Half the reason were 20-something in points -- were not 20-something in points because were not running fast. Were 20-something in points because we had a lot of mechanical problems and days like this we throw them away." Crew chief Chris Heroy was perplexed about the shortage. "We dont know what happened -- we were on the same strategy as (Truex)," Heroy said through a team spokeswoman. "Were going to go back to the shop and figure it out." Montoya got little sympathy from Kyle Busch, who was spun by Montoya early in the race when Montoya drove too deep into a corner and wheel-hopped over a curb. "AMy heart melts for (at)jpmontoya who ran out of gas," Busch tweeted moments after the race. Jeff Gordon finished second a week after he was wrecked six laps into the race at Michigan, but felt like he might have had a chance to win if he had not already committed to pit seconds before a caution came out early in thee race. Luka Doncic Jersey. "I mean, I really do think we had a shot winning this race. We had a tremendous car," Gordon said. "I knew we were screwed. There was nothing I could do; I was hard on the brakes, fully committed. I couldnt turn away from it, I just knew we had to eat it and go on, and thats what we did." Carl Edwards was third, followed by Kurt Busch, who climbed back from a pair of speeding penalties. "Yeah, we were fast, even on pit road. Twice," Busch laughed. "I messed-up, flat-out. I didnt hit my tachometer right and I was speeding both times. It was one of those where Im like, how does that happen? I just put myself in a position that was poor trying to get too much on pit road." Bowyer wound up fifth in a strong day for the MWR Toyotas. Kasey Kahne was sixth and followed by Marcos Ambrose, who was extremely disappointed he didnt win a race in which he was heavily favoured. "Its OK. We got a top-10 out of it," Ambrose said. "I wanted to win. Of course I wanted to win, but thats the way it goes." Greg Biffle was eighth and followed by Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick in the top 10. The race got off to an inauspicious start before it even began with a pit road accident, a mechanical issue for Jacques Villeneuve of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., and an oil line failure for Bobby Labonte. The accident occurred as the cars were headed onto the track and David Reutimann stopped his car on pit road. Alex Kennedy stopped behind Reutimann, and Paulie Harraka slammed into the back of Kennedy. The damage wasnt significant enough to prevent Harraka from making his Sprint Cup Series debut. But it was a short-lived race for the first driver to advance from NASCARs diversity program into a Cup race -- Harraka spun and crashed his car six laps later. Meanwhile, a parts failure caused Labonte to dump oil all over pit road before the race and he was forced to take his car to the garage for a quick repair. Labonte made it onto the track for the green flag, but his engine failed on the first lap. "It blew up, dude," Labonte said on his radio. "Something in the bottom engine because it had no oil pressure." Villeneuve had an issue shifting his gears and had to stay on pit road for a quick repair before trying to catch up to the field at the start of the race. He made it, but the problem wasnt completely corrected and he was back on pit road after 19 laps for more repairs. Busch had back-to-back speeding penalties in yet another race that slipped away. He led 15 laps, lost the lead to former teammate Brad Keselowski, then was flagged for speeding when he went in for a scheduled pit stop. He had to return to pit road for a stop-and-go penalty and was flagged for speeding again. It dropped Busch to 38th in the running order, from where he had to climb back to steal his strong finish. His brother also had his share of problems. Kyle Busch was spun early in the race by Montoya to lose a ton of track position, then gave up everything he made up when he was caught speeding on pit road. He also spun at least two more times during the race. Danica Patrick, thought to be a contender based on her strong runs in Nationwide Series road races, struggled all weekend to find speed and was done in by a flat rear tire just past the halfway point. The tire issue caused her to spin into a barrier and make multiple pit stops for repairs. "It was a long day, a long weekend," Patrick said. "We just couldnt get the car to the point where I was comfortable with it. We just couldnt get much to go our way this weekend. Having the cut tire and going into the tire barrier was just sort of salt in the wound." Pole-sitter Jamie McMurray never even led a lap under green as he was passed at the start by Ambrose, and his race took a big hit when he later ran off course with a tire problem and lost a lap.
