  • Darren Sharper's Attorney Not Optimistic After Appeal Heard in Lawsuit Against Saints
    Darren Sharper's attorney not optimistic after appeal heard in lawsuit against Saints Darren Sharper's attorney Frank Bruno is seeking to overturn an August 2013 decision by a workers compensation judge in an effort to win the former NFL safety supplemental employment benefits from the Saints. (Ken Daley, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune) By Ken Daley, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on September 18, 2014 at 6:04 PM, updated September 18, 2014 at 7:05 PM Darren Sharper's attorney did not sound optimistic Thursday that his attempt to overturn the decision of a Louisiana workers compensation judge and win a new trial over potential lost wages for the former NFL safety would prove immediately successful. And, lawyer Frank Bruno admitted, the fact that his client has been jailed in Los Angeles for 204 days and counting awaiting trial on charges that he drugged and raped two women there probably doesn't make it the best time to ask a court to help award Sharper money. "I think it's going to definitely hurt it," Bruno said of the case he argued before a three-judge panel from Louisiana's 4th Circuit Court of Appeal. "That's the intangible." Sharper pleaded not guilty in California, has been indicted in Arizona and remains under investigation in New Orleans and Las Vegas because of accusations that he drugged and sexually assaulted at least eight women in four states. Those suspected crimes were never mentioned in his unrelated workers compensation appeal, yet still lingered Thursday like the proverbial elephant in the wood- and marble-paneled courtroom of appellate judges Roland Belsome, Paul Bonin and Daniel Dysart.

OFFENSE: QB KURT WARNER, ARIZONA CARDINALS • It was a triumphant return to St. Louis for former Rams star KURT WARNER as he led the Arizona Cardinals to a 38-28 win at the Edward Jones Dome. Displaying the form that helped him win a pair of Most Valuable Player awards and guide the Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV, Warner completed 27 of 39 attempts for 285 yards and three touchdowns, posting a 115.9 passer rating with no interceptions. Warner’s three-touchdown performance was his first since the 2001 season finale and came at an opportune time, helping Arizona snap a three-game losing streak. With the home team nursing a 17-16 fourth quarter lead, Warner connected for a nine-yard touchdown strike to rookie free agent tight end ADAM BERGEN, followed by a two-point conversion to wide receiver ANQUAN BOLDIN for a 24-17 advantage the Cardinals would not surrender.

Alexander rushed for 563 yards, averaging 140.8 yards per contest. His eighth touchdown of the month came in a 24-21 overtime win last Sunday against the Giants and was his 20th of 2005, joining MARSHALL FAULK (2000-01), PRIEST HOLMES (2002-03), and EMMITT SMITH (1994-95) as the only players in NFL history with multiple 20-TD seasons. Alexander rushed for 173 yards on November 6 in a 33-19 win at Arizona, scoring two touchdowns. The following week he sparked a season sweep of the Rams, rushing for three touchdowns and 165 yards in the 31-16 win. A 115-yard, two touchdown effort in a 27-25 win at San Francisco on November 20 was his eighth consecutive 100-yard game against division foes, joining MARCUS ALLEN (1985-86), FREEMAN MC NEIL (1984-85) and WALTER PAYTON (1976-77) for the longest such streak since 1970.
