Red Bull defender Petke to retire following seasonSoccer Betting Lines09/01/2010 - Secaucus, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Red Bull New York defender Mike Petke will retire after the 2010 MLS season, the Major League Soccer club announced on Wednesday. "After many months of contemplation, I know that this is the best choice for me and my family," Petke said. "When I first started playing in MLS, I could have not imagined the type of career I was so fortunate to experience over these past 13 years. I am indebted to my family, current and former teammates and coaches and the fans for their support and encouragement. I am at peace with my decision and blessed that I am able to end my career in a place where I truly call home." Petke, who played for New York for seven seasons over two stints, is the club's all-time leader in games started and games and minutes played. He was also part of the team's all-time Best XI that was unveiled earlier this year. "Mike is a consummate professional and has represented our club with heart and dignity," Red Bull New York Sporting Director and General Manager Erik Soler said. "It is evident during my short time here why he is one of the team's most popular players all-time. His ability, work ethic and leadership will be sorely missed, but we want to wish him the best of luck in this exciting new chapter of his life." The 34-year-old Petke is a three-time all-star and has appeared in over 300 regular season games for New York, Colorado and D.C. United since starting his career in New York as the eighth overall pick in the 1998 draft. During his 13-years in MLS, Petke scored 13 goals and four assists in regular season action while logging 25,731 minutes, which is seventh all-time in league history.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow 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. MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds: Saints +6 @ Colts -6 Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em) Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em) Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5 Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1 Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3 Patriots -5 @ Jets +5 Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5 Steelers -4 @ Browns +4 Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6 Bears +6 @ Chargers -6 Lions +3 @ Raiders -3 Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5 Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4 Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3 Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3 Super Bowl line (2008) NFC +6.5 vs. AFC -6.5 MySportsbook is a large, publicly traded company with strong financial backing.
