Football Betting Lines
07/11/2009 - Hattiesburg, MS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Several players were among a crowd of about 5,000 who attended a Saturday memorial service for NFL quarterback Steve McNair.
McNair, who was shot to death in what Nashville police say was a murder- suicide on July 4, was laid to rest in his native Mississippi.
The Red Green Coliseum on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi was the site of a public mourning for McNair. Among those in attendance was Brett Favre, Titans head coach Jeff Fisher and quarterback Vince Young, Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis and Chicago QB Jay Cutler.
"Steve was like a hero to me," said Young. "Heroes aren't supposed to die. He inspired me a whole lot. He has helped me on every decision I have made."
Earlier this week, Nashville police said McNair's death was a result of a murder-suicide and that he was shot while sleeping by his 20-year-old girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, at a Nashville condominium.
After the memorial service, there was a private burial for McNair, a long-time Titans quarterback who spent 13 seasons in the NFL.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
