MIAMI -- Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes cashed in Monday on his career comeback with the Miami Dolphins. Grimes signed a $32 million, four-year contract to remain with Miami. The deal, which includes $16 million guaranteed, rewards Grimes for his recovery from an Achilles tendon injury that forced him to miss almost all of the 2012 season. With the agreement, the Dolphins achieved one of their biggest off-season priorities by avoiding the loss of their best defensive back in free agency. "Ive been in this league awhile and actually feel appreciated here," Grimes said. "This is where I wanted to be, and Im glad it all worked out." Grimes, 30, spent six years with the Atlanta Falcons, who parted ways with him after his serious injury. The Dolphins gave him a one-year contract in 2013, and he had perhaps his best season, making four interceptions while playing in all 16 games. "Last year it was like, OK, I get to prove myself again," he said. "I never doubted myself, but being realistic, coming off of a serious injury that a lot of people had trouble coming back from, I had to prove myself." Grimes, a 5-foot-10 overachiever who was undrafted out of Shippensburg State, also made the Pro Bowl in 2010. He has 59 career starts and 17 interceptions. The contract was the first major deal for new Miami general manager Dennis Hickey, who replaced Jeff Ireland. "My exposure to Brent over the last few years has always been when Im on the opposite sideline watching him intercept balls and hurt my team," Hickey said. "Im excited to have him on my team now." With free agency beginning March 11, the Dolphins priority now becomes trying to re-sign nose tackle Randy Starks or Paul Soliai. Both can become unrestricted free agents. Rob Blake Jersey ."

The Eclipse Awards are voted on by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters. The 64-year-old Durkin retired on Aug. 30 at Saratoga Race Course after a 43- year-career. He will be presented with the 39th Award of Merit at the 44th Annual Eclipse Awards dinner and ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 17 at Gulfstream Park. This is quite an honor and quite a surprise, said Durkin upon learning the news. The award has never been given to a track announcer before, and to be singled out when you consider all of the great announcers who preceded me like Fred Capossela, Joe Hernandez, Chick Anderson and Dave Johnson, this is quite a distinction. Getting my first job calling races at Florida Downs was a dream come true, but I never imagined my career would take me where it did. A lot of people took a lot of chances to hire a guy named Tom Who? I have them to thank and anybody whoever bet two bucks. Durkin, a native of Chicago, began his announcing careeer in 1971 at Florida Downs, now Tampa Bay Downs.dddddddddddd He also worked at Balmoral, Quad Cities and Cahokia Downs and called harness races at The Meadowlands in New Jersey. I never really wanted to be anything else, Durkin recalled. I was just a kid on the west side of Chicago. And it wasnt the least thing practical. It turned out far more than practical. How many people go to a job they really like? He was hired to call races at Hialeah and in 1984 was engaged by NBC Sports to call the first Breeders Cup. That first Breeders Cup was surreal, Durkin recalled of the 1984 inaugural running at Hollywood Park. Every race had a minimum of a $1 million purse. But the important thing was that for the first time championships were being decided on the racetrack. It crystalized when Chiefs Crown crossed the finish line in the Juvenile and I said A champion is crowned, its Chiefs Crown. On Aug. 29, 1990 Durkin became the track announcer for the New York Racing Association tracks: Aqueduct, Belmont Park and Saratoga. Durkin became the television voice of the Triple Crown for 10 years beginning in 2001 after NBC won the rights to the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes.
