Burress' trial delayed until September

Football Betting Lines

06/15/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress reportedly had his weapons possession case delayed until September on Monday.

The New York Post stated that the adjournment signalled the end of a possible plea deal for the former Giants star, who shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed gun on November 29.

Burress, 31, has pleaded not guilty to his crimes and is free on $100,000 bail. He was released by the team in April. It is possible that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could hand down a suspension from football based on the league's personal conduct policy, but no decision has been made yet.

The Michigan State product played in only 10 games for New York last season, registering 35 catches for 454 yards and four touchdowns. In the 2007 campaign, he posted 70 receptions, 1,025 yards receiving and 12 scores, also catching the game-winning touchdown pass in that season's Super Bowl.

For his career, Burress, in nine seasons with Pittsburgh and New York, has caught 505 passes for 7,845 yards and 55 touchdowns.

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).
