INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Colts put backup linebacker Josh McNary on the commissioners exempt list Thursday, less than 24 hours after prosecutors filed criminal charges against the 26-year-old.McNary faces charges of rape, criminal confinement with bodily injury and battery resulting in bodily injury — another off-the-field problem for a league that has been plagued by them this season.McNary will not be permitted to practice with the team or attend games, including Sundays AFC championship game at New England. He will, however, continue to be paid.Punter Pat McAfee said players were blind-sided by the serious allegations that were released publicly Wednesday.I feel sorry for all of the parties involved, but I do believe that in this country that you are innocent until proven guilty, McAfee said. If he is guilty of something, then I hope justice will be served.While coach Chuck Pagano kept his team focused on this weeks challenge — the AFC title game — team officials issued a statement just before the start of practice to explain the roster move.That designation will permit the investigation provided by the leagues personal conduct policy to run its course and will afford Josh the opportunity to focus on his defence against the charges, the statement read in part.The Colts sincerely hope this extraordinarily serious matter will be resolved expeditiously and that justice will prevail.Pagano declined to say what he told his team.For the league, its yet another off-field issue.Carolina defensive lineman Greg Hardy and Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson both wound up on the commissioners exempt list this season after criminal charges were filed against them.League officials also continue to deal with the ramifications from a video that showed former Ravens running back Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancee in an elevator.The public release of the video created an outcry, and Commissioner Roger Goodell changed his two-game suspension of Rice to an indefinite suspension. The NFL developed a new personal conduct policy that owners approved in December.A neutral arbitrator also reduced Rices ban, making him eligible to play, though no team signed him.The accusations against McNary are troubling, too.According to the probable cause affidavit, which was released publicly Wednesday afternoon by the Marion County prosecutors office, a 29-year-old woman accused an unknown man of attacking her in the early morning hours of Dec. 1. The document said police tracked information from a cellphone the woman allegedly took from the mans apartment and later determined the man was McNary, a West Point graduate who has spent the past two seasons with the Colts.The womans name was redacted from the report.Early Thursday morning Ed Schrager, McNarys lawyer, issued a statement on behalf of his client denying the allegations. Schrager wrote that McNary had immediately reported to law enforcement officials in a respectful and peaceful manner.The report details claims that McNary and the woman engaged in a physical fight in the mans apartment, and that she had scratched his neck, face, back and shoulder. Police reported that a nurse found dried blood behind the womans ear and other injuries following a sexual assault examination.According to the report, the woman said she also believed the man slapped her on the left side of her face with his hands before the attack. And, the report said, the woman repeatedly told the man no and stop. The document said police also listened to a 2-minute voicemail from the accuser to one of her friends.At one point, the female can be heard crying and becoming emotionally distraught, the report said.Police reported that when they later showed the woman a photo lineup to identify who she left a bar with that night, the woman pointed to McNarys photo and said he looked familiar. But she could not positively identify anyone from the photos.The police wrote when they arrived at McNarys apartment to investigate, the player said: I know why youre here. The report said McNary claimed to have preserved evidence because he expected to see the police.McNarys attorney cautioned there is another side to the story.The charges and affidavit publicly disseminated on Wednesday afternoon are not evidence of wrong doing but simply one sides story, Schrager said in the statement.Joshua has full faith and confidence in the American way, including its justice system, which he pledged to protect and defend as a West Point graduate and lieutenant in the United States Army.Schrager said no other statements would be made on behalf of or by McNary.The 6-foot, 251-pound linebacker finished his career as Armys all-time leader in sacks and tackles for loss, then spent two years on active military duty before seeking an early release so he could play in the NFL.McNary signed with the Colts in April 2013 and has continued to fulfil his military obligation in the National Guard. He had 20 tackles during the regular season, but has none in the Colts two playoff wins.Indianapolis (13-5) filled McNarys spot by promoting receiver Griff Whalen from the practice squad. The Colts also signed defensive end Gannon Conway to take Whalens spot on the practice squad.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLMarkus Wheaton Jersey . has left the San Jose Sharks to become the Boston Bruins director of player personnel.

Argos general manager Jim Barker uttered those words during an interview with TSN 1050 radio just prior to the CFLs annual free agent frenzy.This fun Moment Zero video features Steven Stamkos and Jordan Eberle, but with TSNs own, Jame Duthie putting in a stellar supporting actor performance. 2015 Oscar nomination pending. Here is an open letter from Steven Stamkos to his fans: When I shot this final Moment Zero film last August, it was a fun few days on set with Coke Zero and Jordan Eberle in my hometown of Markham. The original plan was that this film would launch during the Olympics and I loved the idea of mashing together two of Canadas biggest winter sports – hockey and figure skating – and shhowcasing the skill required for both.dddddddddddd Im not sure what was more difficult – trying to spin and jump in my hockey skates, or simply trying to skate in the figure skates. And the fact that this was based on a true story of a guy who actually loved to play hockey so much that he wore figure skates with his buddies made it even more fun.Sincerely, Steven Stamkos And weve even got some bonus video, check out Stamkos and Eberle regaling Duthie with tales of the better pranks theyve pulled on fellow players.
