DALLAS -- The NBA suspended new Dallas Mavericks guard Raymond Felton on Thursday for the first four games of the season after his guilty plea in a New York gun case. Tom Brady Jersey . "I demonstrated poor judgment and I take full responsibility for my actions," Felton said in a statement released by the Mavericks. "Moving forward Im eager to get to Dallas, to start fresh and make a positive impact in the Dallas metropolitan area." The criminal case arose last winter, as Felton dealt with the breakup of his marriage and a struggling season with the New York Knicks. Felton pleaded guilty July 23 in New York to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm. He admitted he knowingly had a large-capacity ammunition magazine and a semi-automatic pistol without a license. The plea involved Felton admitting to the felony but avoiding jail time. He was immediately sentenced to 500 hours of community service and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine. His case will be closed without jail time or probation if he complies with his sentencing. Felton will be allowed to complete his community service outside the state of New York. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Thursday that the team is "working with Raymond and the court to develop a community service program that will have a positive and lasting impact on North Texas." Dallas acquired Felton, who will not be paid during the suspension, from the Knicks as part of a six-player trade June 25 that brought centre Tyson Chandler back to the Mavericks. That was just two days after prosecutors said Felton would enter a guilty plea in exchange for a no-jail sentence. About a week after Feltons law student wife filed for divorce, her attorney brought a loaded semi-automatic handgun to a police precinct and said it was Feltons and she wanted it out of the house, authorities said. His lawyer, Jim Walden, has said Felton never threatened anyone with the gun. It was late February when police contacted Felton, and the then-Knicks guard turned himself in shortly after a game against the Mavericks at Madison Square Garden. The 30-year-old Felton dealt with injuries and missed 17 games last season, his ninth in the NBA. He averaged a career-low 9.7 points. LeGarrette Blount Jersey .

Just about everything did. Brady threw two touchdown passes and the Cleveland Browns committed two critical penalties in the final 61 seconds as the Patriots stormed to a 27-26 victory on Sunday. "That was awesome," Brady said, "pretty sweet." The improbable rally salvaged a potentially costly day for the Patriots (10-3), who lost star tight end Rob Gronkowski to a suspected torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the third quarter. He is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday. New England fell behind 19-3 when Jason Campbell connected with Josh Gordon for an 80-yard touchdown late in the third. Campbells third scoring pass of the day, a 4-yarder to Jordan Cameron with 2:39 left in the game, made it 26-14. Thats when Brady engineered the impressive comeback that kept the Patriots in front in the race for the No. 2 playoff seed in the AFC. Had New England lost, Cincinnati would have moved into the second position. "How many times has he done that in his career?" Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said after his teams seventh loss in eight games. "We had our opportunity and we werent able to close the game out how we wanted to." Brady threw a 2-yard scoring pass to Julian Edelman with 1:01 left and a 1-yarder to Danny Amendola with 31 seconds remaining. The Browns (4-9) had one last chance, but Billy Cundiff missed a 58-yard field goal attempt on the final play. "We had to make just about every play that we made at the end today," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said, "and, fortunately, we did." The Patriots trailed at intermission for the fourth consecutive game and have won three of them. But this one may have been the toughest. They cut the deficit to 26-21 on Edelmans touchdown. A 15-yard penalty against the Browns for unnecessary roughness on Edelman allowed the Patriots to kick off from the 50-yard line, rather than their 35. Those 15 yards became very significant when Kyle Arrington recovered the onside kick at the Cleveland 40. It was the first time since Jan. 1, 1995, in an AFC playoff game that the Patriots had recovered an onside kick. That also came against the Browns, who were coaached by Belichick. Nate Washington Patriots Jersey. And Belichick also won that game, 20-13. Arrington recovered the kick after Clevelands Fozzy Whitaker touched, but couldnt control, the ball. "The balls cold, so (its) a little slippery for a guy," Arrington said. "Fortunately, it hit one of their guys first and I was just able to jump on it." Brady began the winning drive with a 10-yard pass to Amendola. Then Leon McFadden was penalized for defensive pass interference against Josh Boyce in the end zone, putting the ball at the 1. McFadden and Chudzinski disagreed with the call. "I felt like those two were both jostling for the ball," Chudzinski said. "It really doesnt matter what I think." After Amendolas touchdown, the Browns moved to the Patriots 40 with 1 second left, but Cundiffs kick came up short. "I have never been a part of a game like this," Browns cornerback Joe Haden said. "This one hurts for real." The late comeback ruined another brilliant game by Gordon, who had seven catches for 151 yards. It was the third time in four weeks that he scored on pass plays of more than 70 yards. Gordon set an NFL record of 774 yards receiving in four consecutive games. Calvin Johnson set the previous mark of 746 this season. Gordon also set a single-season team record for yards receiving with 1,400. Braylon Edwards established the previous mark of 1,289 in 2007. Gronkowski was hurt when hit by Cleveland safety T.J. Ward after a 21-yard completion. He missed the first six games of the season recovering from off-season surgeries on his left forearm and back. In his six full games after returning, he led NFL tight ends with 37 catches and 560 yards receiving. "If I would have hit him up high, theres a chance I would get fined and all that other stuff. So, Im just being safe," Ward said. "Its kind of being caught between a rock and a hard place." NOTES: The Patriots trailed 6-0 at halftime on field goals of 43 and 37 yards by Cundiff. ...
