PHOENIX -- Former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper has been indicted in Arizona on charges of sexual assault and administering dangerous drugs, authorities said Wednesday, marking the latest development in investigations in five states involving the Super Bowl champion. A Maricopa County grand jury indicted Sharper in sexual assaults allegedly committed on Nov. 21 in Tempe. The four-page indictment dated Tuesday accuses the 38-year-old Sharper of two counts of sexual assault and three counts of administering dangerous drugs. Sharper knowingly administered the sedative zolpidem to three different victims and then had "sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact" with two of them without their consent, the document states. Sharper is currently in custody in Los Angeles, where he has pleaded not guilty to seven rape and drug counts in connection with two alleged attacks in Hollywood. He had been freed on $1 million bail before turning himself in when an arrest warrant was issued in New Orleans. In Arizona, police reports released earlier say two women in their early 20s had claimed Sharper drugged and sexually assaulted them at a Tempe apartment after a group including Sharper went drinking at bars in nearby Scottsdale. One of the women told police she hadnt had any alcohol that night until Sharper insisted she drink a shot. Another young woman said she had been drugged then went to bed, locked her door and wasnt attacked. The next day, one of the women confronted Sharper, who denied wrongdoing, according to the reports. The reports said Sharper was in Arizona to visit a woman who lived at the apartment. The two had met about a year earlier in Las Vegas. Skip Donau, a Tucson attorney who represents Sharper in the Arizona case, declined to discuss specifics. "We know that Darren will vigorously deny the allegations," Donau said. "We are hopeful of vindication." In Los Angeles, Superior Court Judge Renee Korn said last week that it was unfair to hold Sharper in jail there "into perpetuity" and gave prosecutors in Louisiana until Thursday to charge him or otherwise seek his return. Prosecutors in New Orleans said Wednesday that Sharper would not be indicted by that deadline and the investigation remained open. It could not be immediately determined if Arizona authorities would ask that Sharper be held longer in Los Angeles or would seek his extradition. Jerry Cobb, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorneys Office, declined to comment. Sharper is also under investigation in Florida and Nevada. In a bail motion filed last month, Los Angeles County Investigator John Maccharella described a pattern in which the former football star met women at clubs or parties and lured them to a hotel room, where they were allegedly drugged and raped. The New Orleans warrant says police learned from witnesses that Sharper and an associate had acknowledged having nonconsensual sex with two women. Sharpers attorneys say he never made such statements. The warrant does not elaborate on how the information was obtained or disclose the names of the witnesses. Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Green Bay Packers as a rookie and was part of a successful championship run while with the New Orleans Saints. He retired after the 2010 season and was working as an analyst for the NFL Network before being fired recently.

Randy Jones Jersey .com) - Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion has been named the American League Player of the Week for the period ending May 11.OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators just wanted the old Paul MacLean back.The head coach made a name for himself leading an injury-plagued but scrappy Senators team to the playoffs in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. He was named the NHLs coach of the year for his efforts and received a three-year contract extension in the off-season.MacLean, with his distinctive bushy moustache, was popular with players and fans in Ottawa, and could get under the skin of the opposition. Montreal winger Brandon Prust once famously called him a bug-eyed, fat walrus after a heated playoff game between the rival teams.What seemed like the start of a long relationship quickly unravelled. Less than 18 months after winning the Jack Adams Trophy, after a change in attitude that didnt sit well with Senators executives or players, MacLean became the first coach to be fired this season. The team relieved MacLean of his duties Monday morning after an 11-11-5 start to the season.Dave Cameron, who had been working as an assistant coach in Ottawa, was named the Senators head coach, the tenth in franchise history.MacLean made a conscious decision heading into the 2013-14 season to do things differently and be more demanding of his players.The change in attitude didnt go over well with players, and general manager Bryan Murray said he put MacLean on notice at the end of last season after the Senators missed the playoffs. Despite the unrest Murray chose to leave things status quo, as he believed MacLean might have just had a bad year and was hopeful his head coach would revert to his old ways.At the end of last year none of us were very happy, including the coaching staff, with what happened and thats why I said the old Paul MacLean, said Murray. I think we sort of set a target date and said lets talk after 20 games and see where were headed and what do we need to do if anything different.It appears the old MacLean never came back. The Senators sit 10th in the Eastern Conference and are routinely getting outshot by their opponents.Through 27 games, Ottawa has given up the second-most shots in the league behind only the Buffalo Sabres.Murray, who broke the news to MacLean at 9:30 a.m. Monday morning, said he had grown frustrated watching the Senators struggle with turnovers night after night.In parts of four seasons Ottawa went 114-90-35 under MacLean, making the playoffs in his first two seasons. Murray said it wasnt an easy decision to fire MacLean, but it was a necessary one.Watching the team play and continue to play the same way as we did at the end of last year where we were giving up way too many scoring chances, too many goals, too many breakdowns in the defensive part of our game ... I guess from that point on the last four, five games certainly we examined each and every performance as best we could, had discussions and it just came to a point where I felt something had to be done, Murray said.It appears MacLeans own words played a role in his dismissal. Saturday morning prior to facing the Pittsburgh Penguins MacLean said …Im just scared to death every day who we are playing and sometimes Im scared to death of who Im playing.The words didnt sit well with Murray.That sent a looud message to me, whether it was in jest or otherwise, that maybe he didnt believe in the group the way we thought we believed in the group when we started the year, said Murray.dddddddddddd. Im not sure beyond that.It was no secret that MacLeans relationship with a number of players had soured over the past 16 months, and Murray said after speaking with players on Sunday it was clear things hadnt improved.There was an uneasiness in our room without a doubt that some of the better players felt they were singled out a little too often maybe and thats todays athlete, Murray said. They want to be corrected, coached, given a chance to play without being the centre point of discussion in a room.It appears the decision came down to choosing between Cameron and Luke Richardson, who is currently coaching the American Hockey Leagues Binghamton Senators. Richardson has a daughter studying at Cornell and said he preferred to remain where he was.Murray believes Cameron will be a good fit with the players, and having been through the current state of affairs will understand what needs to be done differently.I think seeing and going through what weve gone through now for a year and a half, year and a quarter he will recognize that we need communication. We need players to be empowered, said Murray. We need a system and a work ethic that will benefit our players and thats forecheck more aggressively to me, get the puck going quicker, get the defence a little more help in our own end, dont turn the puck over as often. Thats all easy to say, but to get it in the ice and to get it into action will take a little time.Cameron, a native of Kildare Capes, P.E.I., had been one of five candidates considered for the head coaching position in 2011, but the job ultimately went to MacLean.The 56-year-old Cameron has coached in the AHL, the Ontario Hockey League and served as both head coach and assistant coach for Canadas world junior team.Murray believes theres a lot to like about Cameron, who has two years remaining on his current contract.Hes a former teacher. Hes got a hockey IQ. Hes played in the league, Murray said. Hes got some people skills that are very necessary to be a coach. Hell relate a little bit to what we need here with some of our youth here and our veterans.We dont have a lot of older players so I think theyll certainly like Dave. I dont know that hes a players coach or demanding. I do know that hes a teacher and I do know watching his team play his last year of junior hockey and being here with Pauls staff I see a man that will step up and will allow players to play, but one-on-one able to relate.At the end of the day, Murray says everyone needs to remember hockey is supposed to be enjoyable.We have so many rules sometimes that we take the fun away from it, said Murray. Maybe now well play a little different style, a little more aggressive style, well try to chase the puck more often and I think that will play to the strengths of the young people on our hockey team and thats what I would like to see happen.Cameron will have two days of practice before the Senators host the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
