Football Betting Lines

03/14/2007 - Kirkland, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Seattle Seahawks signed free agent tight end Marcus Pollard to a one-year contract on Tuesday. The club also re-signed offensive lineman Floyd Womack to a one-year deal.

Pollard spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Colts before he played for Detroit in 2005 and 2006. His most productive season was in 2001, when he caught 47 passes for 739 yards an eight touchdowns.

Including his two seasons with the Lions, Pollard has totaled 321 receptions for 4,007 yards in 177 career games (125 starts).

The move to sign Pollard fills a void left by unrestricted Jerramy Stevens, the Seahawks tight end, who reportedly was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and possession of marijuana. The Arizona Republic reports Stevens was taken under arrest near Scottsdale early Tuesday morning.

The 27-year-old Stevens had previously trouble with the law prior to this latest alleged incident. Among other things, he was charged with drunk driving in 2003.

Womack, who has played all six of his pro seasons with Seattle, started nine games at guard in 2006. He was originally drafted in the fourth round in 2001.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
