White did earn a $1.538 million option bonus in 2010, but now is due a mere $395,000 salary for his sophomore season. Still, he remains untouched.
The good news is that he likely won’t be out of options given that the UFL is inhaling all the spare NFL talent it can in lue of the near certain lockout the NFL will face next year.
TCU enters this one as a 13 1/2-point favorite to defeat Oregon State on USA Online Sportsbooks and College Football Weekly Betting Lines, with the over/under for the contest sitting at 50 1/2 points.
The Tennessee Titans and the New Orleans Saints meet in the final regular season tune up prior to the start of the 2010 NFL regular season next week. Both teams have showed signs that they plan on contending for division, conference, and potentially the Super Bowl, with the development of players throughout the preseason.
The Saints faced San Diego in their last preseason outing, taking care of the Chargers rather easily in a 36-21 victory.
Tom Malkasian, a director of the Commerce Casino, has responded to the Poker Players Alliance's 'Players Before Profits' campaign in which the million strong action group urged US players to voice their disapproval of the Californian card room’s opposition to federal legalisation of online poker.
In a company statement, Malkasian defended the Commerce position, saying: “The Poker Players Alliance is ignoring the grave threat that the federal and state legislation (to legalise online gambling in the USA) poses to everyday poker players.
The one million member online poker action group Poker Players Alliance came out with all guns firing this week in a press release criticising the Commerce Casino for its opposition to the federal legalisation of online gambling.
InfoPowa readers will recall that the Commerce Casino was recently involved with the Morongo Band of Mission Indians in attempting to obtain an exclusive intrastate Californian license to offer online poker, and has opposed federal attempts to legalise the game throughout the United States for states that wish to do so.
The PPA statement accuses Commerce Casino of turning its back on poker enthusiasts nationwide by putting profits ahead of player interest and “…aligning with those determined to ban online poker.”
The Alliance goes on to launch a campaign designed to change the card room’s position on federal licensing as proposed in Congressman Barney Frank’s HR2267, currently through the House Financial Services Committee but not yet on the House floor for debate and voting.
The PPA’s open letter to Commerce Casino has apparently received wide support, with the Alliance claiming that it carries the signatures of some 120 high profile and respected poker advocates, including PPA state directors and stars of today’s professional poker circuit like Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Barry Greenstein and Phil Hellmuth.
“Members of the PPA, and poker players nationwide, are outraged that the Commerce Casino, the largest poker room in the nation, opposes Federal legislation that would protect players’ rights and access to online poker,” says PPA executive director John Pappas.
The Remote Gaming Association has been quick off the mark in commenting on this week’s release of a Dutch commission's report on online gambling, criticising its findings because these exclusively recommend that online poker be regulated, but not other forms of online gambling.
Speaking for the Association, chief executive Clive Hawkswood said that the proposal from the Jansen Commission was an inadequate first step in light of changes occurring throughout the rest of Europe.
“This is clearly a missed opportunity to follow the same path as other jurisdictions, such as Denmark, which do not seek to discriminate against different forms of gambling and recognise that all are capable of being properly regulated,” Hawkswood said.
The Kansas City Chiefs took the field at Raymond James Stadium Saturday night on a mission to show their fans they have made the necessary adjustments to improve upon their 4-12 finish from a season ago. They fell just short of a win, but their starters went up early on the Tampa Bay defense. The best USA sportsbooks had them as slight underdogs to win the contest on the road.
The Buccaneers lost their starting quarterback Josh Freeman early to a fractured thumb.
While the Patriot pass offense was up to its usual standard, the run game accounted for 120 yards and two touchdowns, including a 20-yard run by Sammie Morris in the third quarter.
On the other side of the ball, the Atlanta offense looked solid when the starters were in, that included quarterback Matt Ryan. Ryan threw for 76 yards on 8/13 passing for no touchdowns, but spread the ball around to several receivers.
The Falcons have been on of the top rushing teams in the league the last few years, behind a tandem of backs including Michael Turner.
When does a dry spell become a drought? Possibly when the Premier League’s player of the year has failed to score in his last 13 matches.
