Football Betting Lines

08/04/2010 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Montreal Alouettes general manager Jim Popp signed an extension through the 2014 season on Wednesday.

Popp has led Montreal to seven Grey Cup appearances and two championships (2002, 2009) since 2000.

"We're happy and proud to be able to continue counting on Jim to be the architect of our football operations," owner Robert Wetenhall said. "With him committed to steering our ship for the long term, we're certain that our team will continue to be as successful as ever."

Popp has guided the Alouettes to an outstanding 168-88-1 record during his time as GM. In his 18 years in the CFL, every team that Popp has put together has made it to the playoffs.

"I am very grateful that Bob Wetenhall and the Montreal Alouettes organization have the confidence to allow me to continue supplying service to the team both now and for the future," Popp said. "The success we've achieved over the years is outstanding, and it's a welcome challenge to try to continue staying at the top. Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and the Canadian Football League have treated my family and I well. We just love it!"

The 45-year-old North Carolina native has been with the franchise since it was located in Baltimore back in 1994.

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.
