Inland Cats end sailing season LAKE GEORGE — Seventeen Inland Cats came out for the final race of their sailing season Saturday afternoon. The course was a modified Olympic course chaired by Lyle Reiff of Lake George. The wind was again challenging, changing throughout the race in both velocity and direction from northeast to southeast. Kevin Ahaus in boat No. 206 led the first half of the race, but then capsized in an unexpected gust as he neared the windward mark for the second lap. However, he was able to quickly right his boat and continue the race. Partly because of having taken on water in the mishap, which added to his boat’s weight, he was passed by Jack Stiefel in No. 152 on the next leg. Stiefel maintained his lead to finish first. Ahaus managed to finish second, followed by Rick Ahaus and Wally Leuenberger. It was an exciting summer of racing for the Inland Cats. Very close competition throughout the season meant the final standings hung on the results of that final race.

SPORTS BRIEFS • NFL to spend $765 million to settle concussion lawsuits PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The NFL agreed to pay more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related brain disorders they say were caused by the very on-field violence that fueled the game’s rise to popularity and profit. The class-action settlement, unprecedented in sports, was announced Thursday after two months of court-ordered mediation and is subject to approval by a federal judge. It came exactly a week before the first game of the 2013 season, removing a major legal and financial threat hanging over the sport. U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia is expected to rule on the settlement in two to three months but said it “holds the prospect of avoiding lengthy, expensive and uncertain litigation, and of enhancing the game of football.” More than 4,500 former players, some of them suffering from depression or dementia, accused the NFL of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions and rushing injured players back onto the field, while glorifying and profiting from the bone-crushing hits that were often glorified in slow motion on NFL Films. The settlement applies to all 18,000 past NFL players and spouses of those who are deceased — a group that could total more than 20,000 — and will cost the league $765 million, the vast majority of which would go to compensate athletes with certain neurological ailments, plus plaintiffs’ attorney fees. It sets aside $75 million for medical exams and $10 million for medical research. Individual payouts would be capped at $5 million for men with Alzheimer’s disease; $4 million for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia, said lead plaintiffs’ lawyer Christopher Seeger.
Tigers’ rally stuns Oakland DETROIT (AP) — Torii Hunter hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting Detroit over Oakland 7-6 Thursday and boosting the Tigers after Max Scherzer was denied his 20th win and Miguel Cabrera limped off with an injury. The Tigers scored four times in the ninth off Grant Balfour (0-3). A two-out walk set up Victor Martinez’ RBI single, then Hunter homered as the Tigers avoided a sweep. Scherzer gave up six runs in five innings. The no-decision left him with a 19-1 record. Cabrera hurt his abdomen making an awkward slide while trying to stretch a single into a double in the fifth inning. He was listed as day to day with discomfort.
Bruins extend GM’s contract BOSTON (AP) — The Bruins have signed general manager Peter Chiarelli, who built the team that reached the Stanley Cup Finals twice in three years, to a four-year contract extension that would keep him in Boston through the 2017-18 season. Chiarelli, 49, will enter his eighth season with Boston when training camp opens next month. The Bruins made the playoffs in six of his first seven years, compiling a 50-35 postseason record and winning the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Hawks coach sorry for arrest ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer has apologized for his arrest on a driving under the influence of alcohol charge. According to a report from the Georgia State Patrol, Budenholzer was pulled over at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in Atlanta for not having working taillights. Trooper J. Nelms said Budenholzer had bloodshot and watery eyes “and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath.” Budenholzer refused a breath test but agreed to a field sobriety test, according to the report. He told Nelms he had only one glass of wine and that he finished the glass about 15 minutes before being pulled over. Nelms said in the report that Budenholzer was “polite” and that his speech patterns were mumbled, slow and slurred.
