NEW ORLEANS -- Making clear that she thought the sentence was a light one, a Louisiana judge Thursday formally imposed a 20-year prison sentence on former NFL star Darren Sharper, who last week was sentenced by a federal judge to 18 years and four months in a drug and rape case with victims in four states.Defense attorney Billy Gibbens said that the two sentences are essentially the same, when credit for time served and other factors are considered. The sentence follows Sharpers guilty pleas in state and federal courts in New Orleans, and pleas of guilty or no contest to similar charges in Arizona, California and Nevada -- all the result of a multi-jurisdiction plea deal that once called for a sentence of about nine years.Early this year, U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo rejected that sentence as too light. She imposed the 18-year, four-month sentence last week.In state court on Thursday, Judge Karen Herman made clear she thought two decades was a relatively light punishment for the fallen NFL star, calling his behavior such an epic disappointment.Thursdays second sentencing hearing was again punctuated by tearful testimony from victims. One who said she was determined from the time she realized she had been raped in 2013 to see him prosecuted and see him branded as a serial rapist and a sex offender. She added that, for months, she woke up screaming in the middle of the night because of the ordeal.Another said she forgave Sharper, despite suffering through depression and fears that have caused her to miss work and withdraw emotionally from people who care about her. Im afraid no one understands, she said.Herman pointedly told Sharper that had he been tried by a jury and convicted on his original charges, including aggravated rape, the sentence would have been much harsher. She accepted the 20-year sentence only after consulting with attorneys and victims. She said the deal would help bring closure to the victims.Sharper again apologized to his victims and their families and continued to ask for forgiveness, at one point telling the judge, I am not a monster.Sentenced to nine years already in Arizona, Sharper still faces formal sentencing in California and Nevada. He is expected to serve his sentence in federal custody.Sharper had two co-defendants in the Louisiana cases. Former restaurant worker Erik Nunez and former St. Bernard Parish Sheriffs Deputy Branden Licciardi are set for sentencing in October on related charges.Sharper was named All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and one with New Orleans Saints when they won in 2010.He ended a 14-year career in 2011. He was working as an NFL network analyst when women began telling police in several cities similar stories of blacking out while drinking with him and waking up groggy to find they had been sexually abused.

Jon Lester Jersey .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner. England captain Jos Buttler said that Bangladeshs celebration of his dismissal was over the top. This was the most talked-about flashpoint in Bangladeshs 34-run win that leveled the ODI series 1-1, and ultimately the turning point, when Buttler was given out leg-before through a review after the umpire had turned down Taskin Ahmeds leg-before appeal.After they got a signal from their dressing room that the on-field umpires decision would be overturned, the Bangladesh team started celebrating and some of them turned towards Buttler who was standing behind them with Chris Woakes. At that point, Buttler started to move towards the celebrating Bangladesh players only to be stopped by the umpires. Mashrafe and Woakes then tried to calm things down in the middle.I thought it was a little bit over the top, Buttler said. I dont mind guys celebrating just together. I know thats obviously a very passionate cricket country and the players are very passionate and I have got no problem with that. I was just a little bit disappointed in the fashion they celebrated. I dont mind them celebrating a wicket but to run and celebrate in my face... Rightly they are happy to get a wicket but there is no need to run in someones face and celebrate.Buttler said that there was a bit of history between him and the Bangladesh players but didnt elaborate. For me personally, that was the first bit, but that is part and parcel of the game, he said.Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza said that he wasnt in the right place to listen to what was being said to Buttler from his players. But he said that control of emotions would be necessary in the next game.I dont know who spoke to Buttler. I was focusing on the review thatt I took, and then I got excited by the decision.ddddddddddddSometimes, a lot of things happen in the heat of the moment. But players from both sides should control themselves.Buttler however said that he regrets his own reaction, which he felt should have been to ignore the fielders. He said that it will be important for him to stay calm in these situations in the next game.Maybe in hindsight I could just walk away but it is what it is, Buttler said. Emotions were running high and obviously they were delighted to get the wicket. Maybe I should have just walked off.Its certainly much more emotional as captain and you try to react, but its something I will learn if I do it much more. I only have one more. Its something I will try to improve on, trying to keep levelheadedness, not letting your emotions get too high or too low.But that wasnt the end of the confrontations. After Bangladesh had won the game, Ben Stokes and Tamim Iqbal also got into an argument. Buttler said that Stokes was upset with what had happened.Obviously emotions run high, and Ben is an emotional guy, Buttler said. But he would not have reacted like that if nothing had happened. In a tweet after the game, Stokes said, What I wont stand for is someone putting a shoulder to my teammate at handshakes, though no Bangladesh player was named.Mashrafe meanwhile said that he is yet to find out what had happened in that situation since he was ahead in the line of those shaking hands with the England team. I was ahead in the line so I didnt see what happened. I can tell you after I find out, he said. ' ' '
