By the way the deal was for the veteran's min plus incentives and there were other team's interested.

Titans | Were Interested in Boston - from www.KFFL.com

The <A href="http://www.kffl.com/link/167">Sun-Sentinel reports agent Mitch Frankel said the Tennessee Titans had expressed an interest in WR David Boston before he signed with the Miami Dolphins.


Picking up a potential #1 WR for the min is awesome especially for Linehan's system where he wants to stretch the field and play 3 WR's. Can you imagine Chambers, Boston, and Booker - add McMichael and then Brown out of the backfield. Who do you cover? Can't double team there. Now if we have a line that can block things could get interesting. No team would have as many quality weapons as that. Of course we need a line and qb to step up!

Awsi,

Agua, I don't know of an online site with a 5. I'll PM you if I find one.

Most of the online/offshore sites I deal with have not posted the season win over/unders yet. I understand they lost heavily to that prop the last two seasons so this year they're being more cautious. Even in Las Vegas it took until early May before I saw the numbers posted, at the Venetian. Last year the Imperial Palace dealt them within a week or two after the Super Bowl.

I'm on vacation so my computer time is lessened and it's more difficult to locate an obscure offshore source that might have the season wins already. When I'm in Vegas I can just quiz sportsbetting friends of mine and someone will invariably know. But I won't be back in the desert until May 30.
 
As far as Boston. We paid him a lot of money last year for nothing. We cut him and now we resign him. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the signing but I hope he can do well. I'd rather have someone else, who I don't know, but at this point Boston seems washed up to me. Its sickining to think that we paid him millions of dollars to just work out pre-season and not do anything for us.











That's exactly how I feel about re-signing Boston- I'm not crazy about it, but I hope he can actually get through camp without some kind of incident and help us win some ballgames.

Thanks Awsi. The casinos down here don't run sportsbook for some odd reason.

The odd reason is Bill Bradley, former star of the Knicks. He was senator from New Jersey in the early '90s when the state of Oregon started a very minor sports betting daliance that included NBA wagering. That infuriated Bradley and he put together a bill that prohibited sports betting in any state that didn't already have it. The bill passed congress easily. I don't remember the specific name of the bill. You could Google it. It had the word "protection" in the title and was viewed as a farce in betting circles. There was even quite a bit of talk that it should have been illegal to regulate the states in that fashion.

New Jersey was given a special exemption and had one year to come up with a plan for legalized sports betting. I was hoping for that. But Bill Bradley was so powerful in New Jersey he squashed it. Now Atlantic City is ticked and is trying to find a loophole to get around the bill. The Mississippi casinos weren't around at that point, or at least didn't have much clout yet.

Don't. It's truly awful. He and his sidekick named "Stu Gotts", sort of just sit around and use the backdrop of sports to make a lot of really, well ... just dumb, not-funny-in-the-least jokes / skits. It's really, really bad.
