The news broke on Tuesday that on May 28, Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, along with 14 other retired NFL players, filed a class action concussion lawsuit against the NFL. Yordan Alvarez Jersey . I wrote about it here for TSN. The news also broke on Tuesday that Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino was withdrawing from his concussion lawsuit against the NFL. So why the change of heart? Probably a couple of reasons. First, Marino has reportedly been speaking with the CEO and President of the Dolphins Tom Garfinkel about joining the teams front office. Clearly, filing a lawsuit against the NFL would jeopardize his chances gaining employment with the Dolphins. The Dolphins, along with the rest of the NFL teams, will ultimately be responsible for paying out whatever money is owed to the players as a result of the concussion lawsuits. Having a plaintiff as an employee in that circumstance would be a bit awkward. So given Marinos ambitions to join the Dolphins in an executive position, the timing of the lawsuit was unusual. Before suing someone, the potential personal and professional impact of that lawsuit on the client is assessed and discussed in great depth. In this case, the potential fallout was inescapable. The timing of the lawsuit was a surprise for another reason. In August 2013, the NFL announced that it had settled the over 220 concussion lawsuits involving nearly 5,000 former NFL players and their families. The league agreed to pay the players nearly a billion dollars in exchange for the players dropping their lawsuits. Before a settlement is finalized, however, the Court has to approve it. To date, it has rejected the settlement twice. Once approved, though, the settlement would bind every single retired NFL player as of the Court approval date. Since Marino retired on March 13, 2000, that would include him. So at this time, there was not a pressing need for Marino to sue the NFL. He was already covered by the potential NFL settlement. If for some reason he ends up being unhappy with the Court approved settlement (if and when that day comes), he could simply opt out of the settlement and file his own lawsuit. Every player will have that right to walk away from the Court approved settlement and file their own lawsuit. Lance Berkman Jersey . His chance at winning a Stanley Cup in Philadelphia is over.

WINNIPEG -- Glenn Howard played a game that was memorable for all the wrong reasons at the Canadian curling trials Tuesday night. The four-time world champion from Penetanguishene, Ont., allowed 2010 Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin to score four in the ninth end in a 9-7 come-from-behind victory. "Thats the worse loss of my life, right there," said Howard, 51, whos also won four Briers. The victory lifted Martins record to 4-0, keeping the Edmonton skip as one of only two undefeated rinks at the trials, which will determine Canadas mens and womens teams at next years Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Howards rink drops to 1-3. Reigning Canadian champion Brad Jacobs from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., has also yet to lose a game after he beat Calgarys Kevin Koe 9-4. Koe is at the bottom of the field with a 0-4 record, while hometown favourite Jeff Stoughton is 1-3 following an 11-5 loss to B.C.s John Morris (3-1). Mike McEwen, Manitobas other mens rink, defeated Torontos John Epping 10-7. McEwen improved to 2-2 and Epping is 1-3. "Its just hard out there," Martin said after a game he described as making him feel "spent." "Its a very emotional day, and games. Every one so far, all four, have just been battles to the last inch." Just over 7,430 fans at the MTS Centre witnessed Howards defeat, which the veteran said came at the hands of some unpredictable ice. That was especially true in the ninth end, when Martin scored the deadly four points to move ahead 8-7. "(Second) Brent (Laing) missed a peel and then the ice got unbelievably straight in the last two or three ends," Howard explained. &qquot;I threw a real good shot in my last one in nine and for some reason it didnt curl. Don Wilson Jersey. I have no idea why. "I was happy with the way I let it go and it ends up being six to eight inches too much ice, which is unreal. Why? Why doesnt it curl there?" The killer in Koe and Jacobs game was the eighth end, when Jacobs was sitting four and Koe, the 2010 world champion, had the hammer and missed. The steal of four ended the match. Competitors have said this week its doubtful any team will go undefeated, and Jacobs was still believing that. "Obviously, anybody can beat anyone out there and its happening," said Jacobs, 28, who got his spot in Winnipeg out of the pre-trials event. "Everyone sees it, so real tough to go undefeated. I totally agree with that statement. Its virtually impossible, Id say, but there is a slight chance and right now were undefeated." Stoughton was discouraged after his loss, which included a bad fourth end. He flashed on his first throw and his second hit a Morris rock and then rolled out. That left Jim Cotter a draw to anywhere in the 12-foot for three and a 4-2 lead. Morris is skip, but throws third rocks. Stoughton looked mad at himself and briefly left the ice. He also failed to blank an end and then Morris went up 6-3 with a deuce in the sixth. "We need a lot of help, and thats too bad," said Stoughton, a 2011 world champion whos making his fifth and last try to get to an Olympics. "We had our fate in our own hands playing John because it would have brought everyone down to two losses and (then) youre basically in a playoff spot." ' ' '
