Dorsey gets the start for Cleveland

Football Betting Lines

12/26/2006 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Browns named Ken Dorsey as their starting quarterback for the season finale against the Houston Texans.

Dorsey gets the nod after backup Derek Anderson separated his shoulder in Sunday's 22-7 loss to Tampa Bay.

Starting quarterback Charlie Frye has been sidelined since early December after suffering a bone bruise on his right wrist.

The former Miami (FL) product has appeared in 11 games -- 10 starts -- with the San Francisco 49ers after getting drafted in the seventh round -- 241st overall -- in 2003.

Dorsey, who was traded with an undisclosed draft pick to Cleveland for Trent Dilfer on May 4, 2006, completed 171-of-316 passes for 1,712 yards with eight touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

"Dorsey's been here all year," said Cleveland head coach Romeo Crennel. "He has a pretty good knowledge of the system. At times he's looked pretty good at practice and I think its the best alternative under the circumstances."

The team will most likely sign quarterback Lang Campbell, who has been in training camp with the team the last two seasons. Campbell was a two-year starter at William and Mary and won the 2004 Walter Payton Award.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
