SOUTHAMPTON, N. John Elway Jersey .Y. —New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd intends to fight a charge that he was drunk when he crashed his SUV into a telephone pole in the Hamptons over the summer, his lawyer said Wednesday. Kidd, wearing a navy pinstriped suit and tie, said “good morning” to reporters outside Southampton Town Court on Long Island. But he didnt speak as he stood, back straight, facing the judge during his brief procedural appearance. When asked about the allegations, lawyer Edward Burke Jr. told reporters, “We are defending that.” “He is taking this very, very seriously,” Burke said. “He wants to get this past him as quickly as possible. The legal process takes some time but he is ready for his season.” Kidd was arrested in July, days after signing with the Knicks. He suffered minor injuries when the vehicle hit the pole and veered into the woods in the hamlet of Water Mill. The misdemeanour charge carries the potential for up to a year in jail. A few days after his arrest, Kidd said on Twitter that he regretted “any disruption my accident … may have caused members of the community.” He also said he wanted to “thank the local authorities.” In another posting, Kidd thanked his family and friends for their support. The Knicks signed Kidd away from the Dallas Mavericks in a $3 million a year deal. Kidd had played in New Jersey, leading the Nets to two NBA Finals appearances, before being traded to Dallas. He helped the Mavericks win the 2011 NBA championship. Kidd is second on the NBAs career list in assists and steals. The two-time Olympic gold medallist has been in trouble with the law before.

After Baltimore pulled even with the Yankees atop the division on Tuesday, New York managed to go a game ahead of the upstart Os on Wednesday, as they salvaged the finale of their three-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays, while Buck Showalters crew lost in Toronto.Following the cancellation of the first two weeks of the NHLs regular season, San Jose Sharks defenceman Dan Boyle said he thinks not all 30 NHL owners are on the same page when it comes to locking out the players. Boyle told CSN Bay Area he thinks the lockout is being controlled by a select group of owners and commissioner Gary Bettman and that the majority of owners are looking to get a deal done. “It doesnt make any sense to me that eight teams can control the fate of 22 other ones,” Boyle told CSN Bay Area. “I think when players make comments, sometimes its directed towards 30 owners, but I think a lot of us feel that its not across the board. Its a certain group of teams that are controlling 30 others.” Boyle believes the fact the NHL requires just eight owner votes to veto any proposals from the players allows a certain group of owners to control the process. He said the pllayers are willing to provide concessions and thinks the majority of owners would be willing to negotiate, but a select group of owners and commissioner Gary Bettman will not allow a deal to happen at this point. Demaryius Thomas Jersey. “I dont see anything happening for the next couple months,” he said. “I know thats very pessimistic of me, and I really hope Im wrong. But the eight guys…what if theres 22 teams out there that want to play right now? How do eight teams control their fate? That bothers me the most.” Boyle said the players would give back, but doesnt think the owners are willing to do the same until regular season games and paychecks are lost. “I think we have to give back. There are a lot of things that we need to fix, and we want to give back,” he said. “I dont think theyre serious about doing anything until we start missing some checks.” ’ ’ ’
