Former Giants RB Michael Cox
Wins $28.5 Million Verdict In
Medical Malpractice Case
Charlie Woods Shoots 68 With Dad Tiger On The Bag At Junior Golf Championship
Former Giants running back Michael Cox has secured a gargantuan verdict in a case arising from allegations of medical malpractice in connec- tion with surgery to repair an ankle injury that Cox suffered in December 2014.
Via the New York Post, Cox won $28.5 million against Dr. Dean Lorich and New York- Presbyterian Hospital. Cox re- ceived $15.5 million for future pain and suffering, $12 million for lost earnings, and $1 million for past pain and suffering.
Lorich died a year after the lawsuit was filed, in what was ruled a suicide.
“The jury spoke with a clear and unambiguous voice that Mr. Cox received inadequate medical care and treatment and was significantly injured as a result,” Cox’s attorney, Jor- dan Merson, said, per the Post. “We are pleased with the jury’s decision.”

Look out, world. Charlie Woods is pretty good at this whole golf thing.
While the Presidents Cup was going on in Charlotte, North Carolina, the son of Tiger Woods shot a 4-under round of 68 on Sunday during the final round of the Notah Begay III Junior National Golf Championship at Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. And his dad was on the bag to see Charlie’s ca- reer-low round.
Charlie went out in 1 over, but he played well on his back nine, recording two birdies and an eagle on the par-5 14th hole to come home in 3-under 34 and shoot 68. His approach shot lipped out for albatross on the 14th.

fendants promised to appeal, calling the verdict “inconsistent with the evidence in the case.” Cox, a seventh-round pick in 2013 from Massachusetts, had 76 rushing yards in 18 career regular-season games. He also returned 31 kickoffs, averaging 22.5 yards per return.
“When I hit (the approach), I knew it was good,” Charlie said. “When it started trickling down, I knew it was going to be close, but not that close.”
At the PNC Championship, Charlie has shown his playing capabilities alongside Tiger.
But it seems as if he’s making a name for himself, too.
“Dad told me to stay pa- tient. I just played steady golf,” Charlie said.
Charlie finished T-4 in the Boys 12-13 division. He fin- ished 4 over for 36 holes.
Davante Adams 'Frustrated And Angry’ By 0-3 Start
There are two winless teams left in the NFL this season.
One of them is the Texans, which probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise given the low expectations they carried into the year. The Raiders being 0-3 is a bit more unex- pected, but that’s where they find themselves after a late rally fell short in a 24-22 road loss to the Titans.
That loss comes after the Raiders blew a big lead against the Cardinals at home in Week Two and wide receiver Da- vante Adams said the early season results are not sitting well with him.
“Frustrated and angry,” Adams said, via SI.com. “Ex- pect more. It’s not easy to win in this league. We know that. Nobody’s naive to the fact that nobody’s just going to lay

down and just give you a vic- tory, but at the end of the day we expect more and we will do better as we move forward.”
