SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara County district attorneys office declined to file charges against San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald in a domestic violence investigation stemming from his Aug. 31 arrest.Prosecutors said in a release Monday that they were unable to charge McDonald because of conflicting versions of what happened, a lack of verifiable eyewitnesses and a lack of co-operation by the alleged victim, McDonalds fiancee.All domestic violence complaints deserve our concern, sensitivity and careful review, District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in the release. After our thorough review of all the facts, we do not have evidence sufficient to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. McDonald committed a crime against his fiancee.The DAs statement said no one was left with significant injuries.McDonald has played all season despite outside pressure on the 49ers to bench him. He has 24 tackles, 15 of those solo, while starting all nine games for the 49ers (5-4).I appreciate the seriousness of the situation and I understand and respect that law enforcement had a job to do, which is why I co-operated fully with their investigation from beginning to end, McDonald said in a statement. I am relieved that the DAs office has rightfully decided not to file charges. I want to thank everyone who was supportive during this difficult time.The arrest came only days after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced stiffer penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including a six-week suspension for a first offence and at least a year for a second. That move followed scrutiny over former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rices two-game penalty stemming from his arrest on an assault charge in February.The issue of domestic violence is important to us, as it is throughout society, the 49ers said in a statement Monday. We have taken this allegation seriously, just as we have taken the principles of due process seriously. We have said from the beginning that we will consider the information available, allow the facts to lead to our decisions and respect the judicial process. Based on the information available to us and the District Attorneys decision not to file charges, there will be no change in Rays status with the team.According to the DAs office, the investigation determined that McDonalds fiancee, who was identified only as Jane Doe in the statement, struck McDonald during an argument at his home during his birthday party and he then tried to restrain her.The two scuffled and McDonald forcibly attempted to remove her from the home, the statement said.McDonald called a San Jose police officer, saying he needed to get a female out of his house, the statement said. The fiancee subsequently called 911 and that led to McDonalds arrest.According to a memo prosecutors sent to Rosen, both McDonald and his fiancee said she struck him first. The memo says her injuries were consistent with restraint and an ensuing scuffle, not an attack.McDonald and his pregnant fiancee got into the fight after a woman attending the party told her some women were getting too friendly with McDonald. McDonalds fiancee, who was sleeping upstairs, came down and confronted him, according to the prosecutors memo.She asked a woman talking to him to step outside, according to the memo, and the two got into a fight. McDonald grabbed her arms to restrain her, according to the memo, and at one point grabbed her neck, as he tried to remove her from the house. Both times he left visible injuries, according to the memo.Following the arrest, 49ers CEO Jed York, general manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh repeatedly said they have zero tolerance for domestic violence, but rather than bench McDonald they agreed to let due process play out before making a decision about his future with the team. Harbaugh said he wouldnt allow any player found guilty of domestic violence to be on his team.He also said at the time that public pressure wouldnt affect how the 49ers handled McDonalds situation. An eight-year NFL veteran, McDonald has been a key member of one of the NFLs fiercest front seven units.Harbaugh took his player at his word.As Ive said from the very beginning, I was never there to stand up here and say what did or didnt happen, Harbaugh said Monday. The stance on domestic violence, that principle of being completely against it and also the principle for being for due process, and the respect of the judicial system, legal process, and that these are peoples lives, let the facts and the information lead to the decisions that we would make as an organization and that ultimately the authorities would make. They had a process, they had an investigative process that now seems to be concluded.___Associated Press Writer Sudhin Thanawala contributed to this report.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Jordan 8 Shoes .com) - The Buffalo Bills will return to the friendly confines of Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday when they welcome the upstart Cleveland Browns to town.

SAN DIEGO -- Tony Clark said hes "blown away" that he is the first former major leaguer to become head of the baseball players union. The executive board of the Major League Baseball Players Association voted unanimously Tuesday to appoint Clark to replace Michael Weiner, who died Nov. 21 of brain cancer. The decision is pending a vote of the general membership. Clark was an All-Star in 2001 and played for 15 seasons with Detroit, Arizona, the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Boston and San Diego. The 41-year-old was appointed deputy executive director in July and had been acting executive director since Weiners death. The executive board is meeting this week at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego. Clark went to high school in the San Diego area and played basketball at San Diego State. After retiring during the 2009 season, Clark had opportunities in broadcasting and coaching. Instead, he said he woke up one day and told his wife that he should work for the players union, "having no idea that we would be sitting before you, Dec. 3, 2013, in this capacity, but appreciating all the while that Michaels vision for our organization, my involvement with it, and the hope and having and making a difference for our group, active and inactive and those that are coming next, was the final decision-maker for me." Clark spoke on a conference call and then to a handful of San Diego reporters. Clark joined the MLBPA staff in March 2010 as director of player relations. He got active in union affairs after attending his first executive board meeting in 1999. From there he became a team player representative, before spending his last seven seasons as an association representative. As a player, Clark was actively involved in 2002 and 2006 collective bargaining as well as negotiations on revisions to the Joint Drug Agreement. "I expected to be tied to the hip with Michael for 20 years," Clark said. "He rides off into the sunset, I ride off into the sunset, we ride off into the sunset, having, Lord willing, affected the game positively. Blown away, yes. Humbled, yes. Excited to carry on the vision that Michael put into place, yes. ... Focused, not just now but going fforward on what we stand for, who we are and how weve arrived at the place weve arrived? Blown away, yes.dddddddddddd" Jeremy Guthrie of the Kansas City Royals and free agent outfielder Curtis Granderson spoke glowingly of Clark. Guthrie pointed out that Weiner had been groomed before he took over for Donald Fehr in 2009, and Clark was groomed to replace Weiner, "although the time came way too fast, much more fast than any of us hoped or expected." Guthrie said he met with Weiner in 2012 after the cancer has been diagnosed, and the two agreed that Clark appeared to be the best candidate to eventually succeed Weiner. "Michael had the intuition, the foresight, whatever it was, to bring Tony on board when he did and to have him at his side," Guthrie said. "Tony clearly rose to the top as someone that wed never necessarily had planned to see in this position, but when we needed to find someone, his candidacy was clear, that he was someone prepared to do this. "I think this is a unique time," Guthrie said. "Baseball changes a ton and our union continues to progress and now we have a former player on board. I dont think theres a better player thats ever been a part of this game, one as prepared, one as intelligent, one as powerful, one as knowledgeable, as Tony, to step in and do that. Its funny how things happen, but preparation has been on our side." Granderson said that when the 6-foot-8 Clark walked into a meeting Monday, he didnt have to say a word and the other players stopped talking and took their seats. "That was an additional confirming moment for me as far as this person demanding attention," Granderson said. "The information hes going to provide is going to be of importance, no matter when hes speaking or what hes speaking about. "The idea of him being a player, you never forget that as part of his resume, but thats not all he is," Granderson added. "For some reason people have coupled him to that category, but he is by far more than that and will continue to be more than that. Thats just a chapter in his background. This is a new chapter and there will be many new chapters."
