on Texans last year, when he became a starter

Birmingham, AL - Vernon Hargreaves III intercepted a Shane Carden pass in the end zone late in the fourth quarter as the Florida Gators held on for a 28-20 victory over the East Carolina Pirates in the Birmingham Bowl. The turnover came with 1:20 remaining, but East Carolina still possessed all three timeouts. After two of them were used by the Pirates, Jeff Driskel ran nine yards for the game-sealing first down. Driskel had replaced Treon Harris, who was injured in the second half. Harris threw two touchdown passes before departing. Adam Lane had 109 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries for Florida (7-5), which was led by interim head coach D.J. Durkin. Durkin took over for Will Muschamp, who stepped down at the end of the regular season. Jim McElwain was hired away from Colorado State on Dec. 4 to be Floridas new head coach and brought in Mississippi States Geoff Collins to replace Durkin as defensive coordinator. Carden was 34-of-66 for 427 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for East Carolina (8-5). Harris was intercepted by Josh Hawkins on the opening drive of the third quarter. Justin Hardy picked up 66 yards on a bubble screen on the next play to set up Cam Worthys 4-yard touchdown grab that trimmed East Carolinas deficit to 21-14. Florida quickly countered when Ahmad Fulwood caught a short pass from Harris and sprinted 86 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown. East Carolinas Warren Harvey kicked a 24-yard field goal following a Lane fumble and converted from the same distance with 11:55 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Gators offense was stagnant for a significant portion of the second half, but their defense continued to make stops, punctuated by Hargreaves interception. East Carolina opened the scoring when Carden made a back-shoulder throw that Hardy snared for a 3-yard touchdown. Brian Poole picked off Carden on the next Pirates drive and scored on a 29- yard return. After the Florida defense stopped East Carolina for a second time on fourth down, Lane had carries of 48, 15 and 3 yards to conclude the first quarter. He opened the second quarter with a 2-yard touchdown run. Harris later hooked up with Brandon Powell for a 13-yard touchdown, capping a 13-play, 80-yard drive. East Carolina looked to counter, but Poole recovered a Kurt Benkert fumble near the goal line. Harvey missed a 42-yard attempt wide right inside the final minute of the first half.

"It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night," Shields said after pitching Kansas City past the San Diego Padres 8-0 Wednesday. Boomer Esiason Womens Jersey . Left-handed reliever Boone Logan agreed to a $16.5 million, three-year contract on Friday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.DAVIE, Fla. -- New Miami Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey stepped to the microphone and apologized for his hoarse voice, explaining he wore it down in the past few days trying to build a winner. Hickey then introduced two big acquisitions in the first hours of free agency -- 316-pound left tackle Branden Albert, and 300-pound defensive tackle Earl Mitchell. Both signed Wednesday less than 24 hours after they agreed to terms. Hickey said he was optimistic defensive tackle Randy Starks would re-sign after becoming a free agent Tuesday. Starks has spent the past six seasons with the Dolphins, and the two sides were negotiating a deal Wednesday. The Dolphins shopping will continue, with additional offensive linemen, a tight end and a linebacker the most pressing needs. Theyre trying to end a 13-year drought without a post-season victory, and eager to put in the past their bullying scandal that involved tackle Jonathan Martin. The acquisition of Albert was a step in that direction. Hell take over the position manned at the start of last season by Martin, who was traded late Tuesday to the San Francisco 49ers for an undisclosed draft choice. "Im going to be here to play left tackle and make a difference," Albert said. "Thats the reason Im here. I feel like its a team I can help the most and make my legacy even better." Albert signed a $47 million, five-year deal that includes $26 million guaranteed. Dolphins officials,, accompanied by a couple of players, treated Albert to dinner Tuesday night to celebrate the agreement.dddddddddddd "Probably the happiest person at the dining room table was Ryan Tannehill," Hickey said. "He was really excited to have a player of his calibre on our team." Albert will protect the blind side for Tannehill, who was sacked a franchise-record 58 times last year. Mitchell was also part of the dinner celebration. He signed a $16 million, four-year deal. Like Albert, Mitchell envisions better days ahead for the Dolphins. "Im coming to produce and definitely trying to help this team reach new heights," Mitchell said. "Thats my reason for being here. Im trying to get us to a Super Bowl." Mitchell blossomed in his fourth NFL season with the Houston Texans last year, when he became a starter and won raves for the way he clogged the middle. He has been playing defence only since his junior year at the University of Arizona, and he and Hickey both said hes still improving. Alberts reputation has also been on the rise, and he made the Pro Bowl last year with the Kansas City Chiefs. He has had a home the past three offseasons 45 minutes from the Dolphins complex and will now move north, eager to go to work with his new team. "I live in downtown Miami, but I probably wont anymore because of the commute," he said with a smile. "Ive got to find a place close to the facility."
