Browns release Stallworth

Football Betting Lines

02/08/2010 - Berea, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Browns have officially parted ways with troubled wide receiver Donte' Stallworth, terminating his contract Monday less than 24 hours after his season-long suspension was lifted.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in the days leading up to the Super Bowl that Stallworth would be reinstated following Sunday's marquee event; Stallworth sat out the 2009 season for violating the league's policies on substances of abuse and personal conduct.

Stallworth served 24 days of a 30-day jail sentence and received 10 years of probation as part of a plea agreement on a DUI manslaughter charge from March. He was initially suspended indefinitely by Goodell.

On March 14, Stallworth struck and killed a pedestrian with his vehicle in Miami. His blood-alcohol level was .126 -- above Florida's legal limit of .08 -- at the time of the accident.

Stallworth joined the Browns for the 2008 season as a free agent and caught a career-low 17 passes for 170 yards with a touchdown in just 11 games. He was hampered by a quadriceps injury for much of the season.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
