Football Betting Lines

Oshkosh, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Multiple reports say the body pulled from a Wisconsin river Monday is that of the 21-year-old son of Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. Authorities were searching for Michael Philbin after he was reported missing Sunday night. He had been visiting friends in Oshkosh the previous evening and was last heard from around 2 a.m. local time Sunday, police said.

 

The Oshkosh Northwestern said the name of the person would not be released by authorities pending notification and the wishes of family. Further information regarding the identity of the person will be released on Tuesday.

 

"The Philbin family is obviously going through a tough time right now. As we always have, we're a family first philosophy with our organization and with our program," McCarthy said. "We're supporting Joe and his family as best we can and we're holding out hope that this comes to a positive conclusion."

 

McCarthy said Joe Philbin was in Oshkosh. He said the team would be "prepared to do whatever we need to as a staff to make sure our football team is ready to go" against the Giants.

 

Also Monday, Packers general manager Ted Thompson said in a statement that the team was aware of the missing person report and that its thoughts and prayers were with Philbin family.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A mass personal injury lawsuit has been filed by a group of former NFL players against the league in Philadelphia federal court. Hausfeld LLP, a firm representing 106 retired football players, filed a complaint that alleges the NFL has long been aware of the serious risks to football players from head impacts and chose to downplay the scientific evidence acknowledging these risks.

 

"As the NFL prepares for the Super Bowl, it has forgotten about the legacy of its former players, many of whom built the league and are now suffering from the devastating consequences of on-field head injuries," said Richard Lewis, a partner at Hausfeld LLP involved in the case. "The NFL needs to step up, do the right thing, and compensate the injured retirees who made the game what it is today."

 

Divers recovered the body on Monday, but did not release the name until family members were notified.

 

Packers general manager Ted Thompson released a statement on Tuesday.

 

Foul play was not being suspected as of Monday night, although police are still investigating.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
