PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Jack Kearney serves many roles in his part-time job as chief of security for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The boss at his full-time job at the Allegheny County Sheriffs Dept. says cleaning up for players who run in to legal trouble is not one of them.Allegheny County Sheriff William Mullen dismissed an ESPN report (http://es.pn/1y3VLk9) that suggested Kearney has used his influence to assist Steelers when they run afoul of the law.The report, published Thursday, suggested Kearney — who is a lieutenant in charge of the fugitive squad — helped tackle Mike Adams put together a story for authorities following a late-night incident in a popular bar area in 2013 that left Adams with multiple stab wounds.Mullen called the accusations just not true, saying Kearney has been a model employee.Kearney has moonlighted as the teams chief of security since 2001. While the job typically requires Kearney to go over the suggested 30-hour maximum for deputies who take on second careers, Mullen said it has never prevented Kearney from fulfilling his duties with the sheriffs department. Mullen said the risk of a conflict of interest is no higher than with most other secondary jobs held by sheriffs office employees.Mullen described Kearneys role with the Steelers as a babysitter or travelling secretary. The report said Kearney fast tracks gun permits for players, a courtesy Mullen said the office extends for others when requested.While Mullen said there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Kearney the office would investigate any formal complaints. The sheriff said Kearney has been the subject of only one such complaint during his time with the Steelers, when a federal marshal claimed Kearney overstepped his bounds while marshals attempted to track down a member of the teams practice squad in 2007 who was wanted for questioning in a prostitution ring.The team said it is not aware of any grey areas between Kearneys position with the sheriffs office and his role with the organization.His services are provided on a part-time basis, with the majority of his time coming during the football season, the team said in a statement. We are not aware of any conflicts in regard to his time on Steelers matters, nor are we aware of any conflicts of interest.Mullen said there are no plans to take any sort of disciplinary action against Kearney and he will not ask Kearney to step down from his post with the team.The reports main focus was on Kearneys involvement in incident with Adams, pointing out Kearney moved Adams vehicle and spoke to Adams in hospital before Adams gave a second statement to authorities. Mullen said Kearney moved the truck with the permission of Pittsburgh police about 12 hours after the stabbing. Kearney apprehended one of the three men arrested in the alleged attack, which Mullen said is just an example of Kearney doing his job. Wholesale Adidas Nmd r1 Uk .

NEW YORK -- Miguel Cabrera and the hard-hitting Tigers were too much for Daisuke Matsuzaka in his return to the majors. Cabrera hit a three-run homer, Torii Hunter also connected and Detroit tagged Matsuzaka early in his Mets debut to beat New York 6-1 on Friday night. "When I used to catch him in Boston, he had a little more on it," Tigers slugger Victor Martinez said. "Today I think his ball was pretty straight. He left a few pitches up in the zone, and the big guys didnt miss." Hunter added a long RBI double and Doug Fister (11-6) pitched into the seventh inning to help Detroit win the interleague series opener. Austin Jackson went deep for the second straight day for the AL Central leaders, back in New York after dropping two of three at Yankee Stadium two weeks ago. The series resumes Saturday afternoon with a rematch of All-Star game starters at Citi Field: Max Scherzer puts his 18-1 record on the line against New York ace Matt Harvey in a nationally televised game. "You cant beat that matchup," Hunter said. "If you blink youre going to miss something." The Mets said its the first time All-Star game starters will square off in a regular-season game during the same season, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau. "I figure this place will be hopping pretty good," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "It should be fun." Minus two injured starters, the Mets signed Matsuzaka on Thursday to fill a hole in the rotation and immediately handed him a difficult assignment. Led by Cabrera and Prince Fielder, the Tigers began the night leading the majors in batting average and second in runs. The right-hander from Japan, a former Red Sox star who had been pitching in Clevelands farm system, got off to a promising start. Working on three days rest and wearing No. 16, he threw a called third strike past Jackson and was ahead 0-2 on Hunter when the five-time All-Star sent a booming drive far beyond the left-field fence. Cabrera and Fielder followed with singles, but Dice-K prevented further damage. He wasnt as fortunate in the second. Omar Infante led off with an infield single and Jackson walked with two outs. Hunter hit a ground-rule double that bounced over the 408 sign in straightaway centre field to put the Tigers up 2-1. Cabrera crushed the next pitch, a 91 mph fastball that he sent soaring just inside the left-field foul pole for his 41st home run. "I was thinking about how I wanted to pitch him from before the game, but it was hard to figure it out until you face him," Matsuzaka said through a translator. "I dont think it was a bad pitch, but he hit a home run off it." Chassing his second consecutive AL Triple Crown, Cabrera has comfortable leads in batting average and RBIs.dddddddddddd He moved within five home runs of Baltimore slugger Chris Davis. "Its just unbelievable," Fister said, then changed his tune. "Its no longer unbelievable. Its definitely believable, and hes doing it for a long time in a row now." Working with rookie Travis dArnaud, catching his fifth major league game, Matsuzaka settled in from there and did not allow another baserunner. He retired his final 10 batters and was charged with five runs on six hits over five innings. "I thought the last three innings he was very, very good," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "The arm issues have caused his velocity to go down a little bit. But I tell you what, his breaking stuff is still very good. I was happy with the way he finished up." Jackson added a solo shot in the seventh off reliever Carlos Torres, originally scheduled to start the game before the Mets signed Matsuzaka (0-1) for the remainder of this season. The Red Sox shelled out more than $100 million to import Matsuzaka in 2007. He won 33 games and a World Series ring during his first two years in the majors, but injuries and poor performances followed. He had Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow in 2011. Matsuzaka went 1-7 with an 8.28 ERA in 11 starts for Boston last season and was beaten out by Scott Kazmir for the final spot in Clevelands rotation this spring. The 32-year-old pitcher agreed to go to Triple-A Columbus, where he was 5-8 with a 3.92 ERA in 19 starts. After working through early season injuries, Matsuzaka had been effective in recent weeks. He was granted his release by the Indians on Tuesday, and the third-place Mets decided he was their best option to fill a void the rest of the way. "I just kind of studied his old video and went off that," Hunter said. Fister gave up only an RBI single to Marlon Byrd in the first. The big right-hander induced two double plays and allowed eight hits in 6 1-3 innings before three relievers finished up.
