BLACKBOARD » He played eight years for the Calga

CALGARY -- A former Canadian Football League all-star completed his spectacular fall from grace Friday when he was sentenced to 90 days in jail for assaulting his one-time girlfriend. Joffrey Reynolds, 33, will serve his time on weekends and faces two years of probation once he has completed his sentence. He was found guilty earlier this year of assault causing bodily harm, common assault and unlawfully being in a dwelling after trying to choke and smother his former girlfriend when she came home and found him in her bed in July 2012. Crown prosecutor Hyatt Mograbee had asked that Reynolds be given two to three years in prison. Reynoldss defence lawyer told court that his client had already lost his reputation and career and shouldnt have to spend time behind bars. "He stands before you today contrite, respectful of this court and remorseful for what happened," said Bjorn Harsanji. "This was a person who was an MVP a few years ago and then he was released. He has lost a lot. His public reputation is gone. I think the message is out. Theres a general deterrence that no one is above the law. "Mr. Reynolds is certainly not above the law." Reynolds is from Texas and played college football at the University of Houston. He played eight years for the Calgary Stampeders and was the teams all-time leading rusher with 9,213 yards. He was named a CFL all-star four times and won a Grey Cup championship with the Stampeders in 2008 before his release in 2012. Since his conviction, he has been working on a construction site. Kaitlin Ward, 27, had dated Reynolds for six years before ending their relationship in December 2011 upon discovering he had been cheating on her. Ward testified at the trial that she and Reynolds were trying to determine if they could "salvage" their relationship when she allowed him to stay with her for a couple of days after his house went into foreclosure. Ward testified she told Reynolds at a party that he had to get out. She said Reynolds got angry and kicked her in the back of the leg and was waiting for her later when she got home. "I was shocked," she said. "I went by the front door to shoo him out. Thats when he kind of tackled me." Ward said Reynolds was sitting on top of her. "Hes smothering my mouth and choking me. Shoving his chin into my neck," she said. "I was gasping for air at that point." Justice Brian Stevenson imposed strict curfews on Reynolds, told him he cannot drink alcohol and ordered him to undergo counselling if required. He also ordered Reynolds to write a letter of apology to Ward and to donate $5,000 to the Calgary Womens Emergency Shelter. The Crown read a victim impact statement on behalf of Ward who said even a year later she remains fearful. "I still think about the crime when entering my home alone at night and Im still scared," she said in the statement. "I was very worried after he was found guilty, and not sentenced immediately, that he would attack me again. This is a person who has an extreme temper that (he) cant control and this was not his first time assaulting me." Reynoldss lawyer said it was "highly likely" that his client would be removed from Canada and sent home to the United States once his sentence is complete. NFL Jerseys Supply .

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Jeff Fisher thought receiver Brian Quick got both feet down on a sideline catch in the third quarter, but the Los Angeles Rams coach couldnt find the red challenge flag in the bulky parka he was wearing on a chilly day in New England.Digging through his pockets with no success , Fisher eventually just told the sideline referee he wanted a replay review. The challenge was successful, but the drive ended in a field goal that failed to make a dent in the Patriots 17-point lead.The Rams wouldnt cross midfield again until the final two minutes of the game.It was that kind of up-and-down day for Fisher, who was given a contract extension that was revealed on Sunday just hours before the Rams stumbled through a 26-10 loss to the Patriots.Im expecting to be the coach of this franchise. However, I fully realize that wins and losses fall on my shoulder, Fisher said after the Rams lost for the seventh time in eight games. Im not looking over my shoulder.Fisher said he reached an agreement with owner Stan Kroenke well before the season started, but the deal just hadnt been announced. General manager Les Snead has also been given an extension, Rams spokesman Artis Twyman confirmed.Snead also became the Rams general manager in 2012, taking over a 2-14 team. The deal for Fisher was first reported by the NFL Network, which said it was a two-year extension through 2018.Both Fisher and Snead were in the final month of their deals.Fisher, who fell to 31-44-1 on Sunday, said he wasnt sure why the deal leaked out on Sunday.

The Rams havent made the playoffs since 2004.Kroenke has praised Fisher for his handling of the team in the face of its on-the-fly move from St. Louis that had them practicing in three different Southern California cities this offseason. Fisher has also complained that the teams travel schedule -- an NFL-high in miles traveled, including a trip to London -- has been a burden.I was very appreciative, with respect to Stan, knowing what we were going through, Fisher said. We had a lot going on this offseason.Fisher also shepherded the Oilers from Houston to Nashville in 1997, his fourth season there; by 1999, the Titans were AFC champions -- losing in the Super Bowl, coincidentally, to the Rams. He coached the Titans through 2010, then was hired by the Rams after sitting out the 2011 season.Hes put together a hell of a team this year. Its just unfortunate hes getting a lot of slack on us losing, defensive lineman Will Hayes said. Hes a stand-up guy. He takes care of his guys. And he does everything that a player wants from his coach.---AP Sports Writer Greg Beacham contributed to this story from Los Angeles.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
