Sports

December 4th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Matt Tiby and Jordan Aaron scored 19 points apiece to lead Milwaukee over Northern Iowa 83-72 Tuesday night.  Milwaukee (8-2) had four players in double figures, with Steve McWhorter adding 16 and Austin Arians chipping in with 11. Milwaukee shot 45 percent from the floor, including 10 of 27 (37 percent) from beyond the arc.

Northern Iowa (3-4) was led by Deon Mitchell with 19 points, while Wes Washpun added 16 and Chip Rank scored 13. Northern Iowa built a seven-point halftime lead, and stretched it to nine a minute into the second half. But Milwaukee scored the next 17 points, including 3-pointers by Tiby and Aaron, to reverse the tide and give Milwaukee a six-point lead at 13:40 of the second.

Northern Iowa cut the lead to five on a pair of Washpun free throws with 1:32 left, but Milwaukee made four straight free throws to secure the victory.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Aaron White scored 20 points, Devyn Marble and Jarrod Uthoff added 17 each and No. 23 Iowa held off Notre Dame 98-93 on Tuesday night.

Uthoff made two free throws and threw down an open dunk in the final 37 seconds to help seal the win for Iowa, which scored over 90 points for the third time this season. Garrick Sherman had a career-high 29 points and Eric Atkins added 23 for Notre Dame (5-2), which lost despite shooting 51.5 percent from the field.

Chiefs sign DT Powe, release Love

Sports

December 4th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs signed defensive tackle Jerrell Powe on Tuesday and released defensive tackle Kyle Love. The 331-pound Powe was the Chiefs’ sixth-round draft pick (199th overall) out of Ole Miss in 2011. He played in 10 games in 2011-12, recording six tackles, before he was released Sept. 1, 2013. Love, a three-year NFL veteran, played in 42 games with the Patriots and Chiefs, playing in one game for Kansas City this season.

The Chiefs also said they had added rookie fullback Toben Opurum to the practice squad. The former University of Kansas defensive player was on the squad until his release Nov. 20.

5 former Chiefs sue team over head injuries

Sports

December 4th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker says he was never told that he would have severe disabilities later in life for continuing to play in games after sustaining a concussion. Chris Martin is one of five former Chiefs players who filed a lawsuit in Jackson County on Tuesday against the Chiefs organization for failing to disclose the dangers of competing after suffering head injuries.

Suburban Kansas City attorney Ken McClain is representing the players. McClain says a proposed $765 million settlement by the NFL to compensate former players with brain injuries is insufficient and doesn’t cover any of his clients in their case against the Chiefs.

The team has refused to comment on the lawsuit.

Chiefs unlikely to have Houston back for Redskins

Sports

December 3rd, 2013 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs coach Andy Reid did not sound optimistic that he’ll have leading pass rusher Justin Houston back for next Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins. Houston dislocated his right elbow two weeks ago against San Diego and missed Sunday’s 35-28 loss to Denver, a game in which the Chiefs failed to sack quarterback Peyton Manning.  Reid said Monday it would be “quite a feat” if Houston could play in Washington.

Left tackle Branden Albert hyperextended his left knee against the Broncos, while tight end Anthony Fasano sustained a concussion. Reid did not say with any certainty whether either of them will be available against the Redskins.  Fasano missed four games earlier this season with an ankle injury.

Cardinals do not offer RHP John Axford contract

Sports

December 3rd, 2013 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals chose not to offer a 2014 contract to reliever John Axford, making the former closer a free agent. Axford was a combined 7-7 with a 4.45 ERA for Milwaukee and St. Louis last season, but he was 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA after the Cardinals acquired him in a late-August trade. He made six appearances in the postseason and allowed a run in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out nine.

The 30-year-old Axford led the Brewers with 46 saves in 2011 but lost the closer role a year later. Teams had until midnight to offer 2014 contracts to unsigned players on their 40-man rosters.
