The Fighting Irish are favored by only 6 points against the Wolverines this week! That’s hard to believe considering how handily Notre Dame beat another Big 10 team– Penn State– the week before.

2 Brothers will be squaring off as Peyton Manning will be going head-to-head with his younger brother Eli on Sunday night as the Colts take on the Giants in Week one NFL football action. This ESPN TV game will be the first time in pro football league history that sibling quarterbacks have lined up opposite each other.
Terrell Owens was just recently fined $9500 by the Dallas Cowboys for missing a team meeting as well as missing a rehab workout. Owens has not practiced much at as well during fall camp and Bill Parcells seems to be losing his patience. When a reporter asked him if he would play a player who hasn’t practiced, he replied defiantly that no he would not and asked the reporter to rethink his question. All indications right now seem all too familiar but the difference in Dallas is the fact that Bill Parcells is the head coach.
It’s old news in a new setting. The talented Terrell Owens is making more waves by not being on the playing field than he ever has on the field. According to the Associated Press, Owens has missed 15 of 27 Cowboy practices. So– are we about to see him take down yet another team? Continue reading “T.O. a No Show Once Again”
Its Monday morning and after a 2 days of our blog being down due to some upgrades, (thanks yahoo and word press) the Maddux Sports Blog is up and running. For the first post of the week we note that Pinnacle, Mansion, and CRIS have preseason betting lines for Week 3 of the NFL practice games. Getting on these betting odds early is a way sharp players can exploit weak lines. We noted in our post about College openers a couple weeks back about picking up such lines as Miami Florida +6.5, Akron +23.5, and Tennessee +2 to name a few that Maddux grabbed, this week NFL was no different.
Both the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals have had their share of pre-season problems. The Bengals may have put an end to one problem, while the Browns have seen a new one surface.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Koren Robinson was arrested late Tuesday night on suspicion of drunken driving and fleeing from police.
Not only is Mr Robinson in trouble with the law, but his playing career may be over. He was arrested last night on a felony charge for trying to flee police after going over 100 mph in a 55 mph zone near the teams training camp in Mankato. The former pro bowler also faces a possible 1 year suspension from the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy. The 26 year old Robinson was suspended 4 games in 2004 for violating the policy as a member of the Seahawks.
With a couple days off and no premium football picks on taps for members here is some NFL news for today.
After a 2 week holdout the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner inked a six-year contract that guarantees him $14 million late Monday night. the contact could also bring the rookie quarterback up to $51 million over the duration of the deal if all bonuses are met. Leinart was ripped by Denny Green hours before the deal went through for turning down “a more than generous” offer. Matt had his press conference today, and noted “It has been hard on me, everyone around here knew I wanted to be in camp”. I understand Leinart wanting to get a great deal, but 14 million guaranteed for the 10th pick in the draft is unheard of.
Today the Dallas Cowboys announced that newcomer Terrel Owens will not play in any of the 4 Cowboy preseason games due to a hamstring injury. The former all pro receiver won’t make his debut until week 1 of the regular season against Jacksonville. An MRI on Saturday showed no structural damage but Owens has been bothered by the injury enough to cause for concern. Because of this 2 personal trainers and a doctor are on their way to assist Owens in Dallas. The Cowboys open their preseason schedule against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.
