  • LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. Redskins RG3 Jersey .s request that he be released from jail because the low-quality food and water have threatened his health was denied by a Las Vegas judge who says he should eat and drink what is being given to him behind bars. Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa wrote in her late Wednesday decision that water has been made available to Mayweather around the clock and the only reason he isnt eating properly is because he refuses to eat the provided meals. Saragosa said Mayweathers complaints that he is unable to exercise in jail are also unfounded. "While the physical training areas and times provided to (Mayweather) may not be consistent with his prior regimen, he is indeed provided sufficient space and time for physical activity if he so chooses," Saragosa wrote. A mere 10 days after Mayweather turned himself in to begin his three-month sentence, his legal team filed an emergency motion Monday asking the court to put him under house arrest or move him into the general jail population -- something that jail officials had avoided to protect the celebrity fighter. The motion claimed the undefeated champion might never fight again because he was getting out of shape in solitary confinement. Mayweather lawyer Richard Wright didnt immediately return a phone message late Wednesday. Wright said earlier this week that he was not seeking special treatment for the 35-year-old fighter. Mayweather pleaded guilty last year to reduced domestic battery charges stemming from an attack on his former girlfriend while two of their children watched. The plea deal allowed him to avoid trial on felony charges that could have gotten Mayweather up to 34 years in prison if he was convicted. Mayweather was sentenced Dec. 22, but was allowed to remain free long enough to make a Cinco de Mayo weekend fight. Mayweathers legal team told the court this week that his personal physician, Dr. Robert Voy, visited the jail Friday and determined the fighter had lost muscle tone. Voy estimated Mayweather was consuming fewer than 800 calories a day instead of his usual 3,000 or 4,000 calories. Mayweather also wasnt drinking enough because he wasnt allowed bottled water and doesnt enjoy tap water. "I am concerned about Floyd withdrawing, developing anger he cannot dissipate through the usual means of dedicated exercise and training," Voy wrote in an affidavit. "Boxing has been Mr. Mayweathers life since he was a young man and we need champions of this type to continue to their natural retirement and hopefully their contributions to society thereafter." Prosecutor Lisa Luzaich scoffed at the complaints during a court hearing Tuesday. "Its jail," Luzaich told the court. "Where did he think he was going? The Four Seasons?"

Griffin III Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have released nine players, including receiver David Clowney and linebacker Danny Batten, the teams 2010 sixth-round draft pick. Robert Griffin III Jersey . Spach, a six-year NFL veteran, last played for St. Louis in 2011, appearing in 10 games and catching two passes. In addition to the Rams, hes also spent time with Arizona -- for whom he started 11 games in 2010 -- as well as New England and Philadelphia. For his career, hes caught 22 passes for 137 yards with no touchdowns.CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers wanted to use this summer to put their new backcourt of Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters together early. They didnt even make it to the first game. Irving, the teams young star and the NBAs reigning rookie of the year, broke his right hand slapping a padded wall in practice on Saturday and is expected to miss two months. "It just really alters all the plans we had this summer as far as summer league was concerned," Cavs coach Byron Scott told reporters in Las Vegas on Sunday before the team opened summer league play against Charlotte. "That was Plan A. We didnt have a Plan B going into this because you just never imagine that happening." Irving travelled back to Cleveland on Sunday but arrived too late to be seen by team doctors. He will be examined on Monday, when the Cavs will have a better sense of how long they will be without their leading scorer, top playmaker and budding franchise player. On Saturday, the team estimated Irving would be back by the opening of training camp in late September. In the meantime, the Cavs wont have Irving to pair with Waiters, the No. 4 overall pick in last months draft. Irving was upset after maaking a turnover and slapped the padding inside a high school gymnasium where the Cavs were practicing. Griffin III Elite Jersey. The moment of frustration will cost him dearly. Although Irving played in only 11 games as a freshman at Duke and missed 14 last season as a rookie, Scott dismissed the notion that the talented 20-year-old is injury prone. "That was just something stupid on his part," Scott said. "As soon as I saw it .... I didnt see him initially hit the thing, but I saw when he came down the court he was kind of holding his hand. I said, What did you do? The first thing he said was, Something stupid. So he knew right away it was something he shouldnt have done -- just a little anger at not making a pass or the pass wasnt completed. "He was upset with himself and he took it out on the wall. The wall won, obviously." The No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft, Irving averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 assists, 3.7 assists and ran away with rookie of the year honours. Last week, he put on several dazzling performances in scrimmages against the U.S. Olympic team and was singled out afterward by coach Mike Krzyzewski, LeBron James and other Olympians for his play.
