Coach Recalls Tebow Into Reinfeldt

Football Betting Lines

A trade association editor at an area publishing company, the giddy 25-year- old spends much of her free time primping, preening and planning for an upcoming April wedding. But while she admits to not knowing a zone blitz from a Coach purse, into even her life a little Tebow must fall.

 

"What can I tell you, he's beautiful," she said, with a laugh. "My fiance knows. If Tim ever gets my number, we're probably going to delay the wedding a while."

 

Though it was worn this year by anonymous freshman cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy, the blue-and-orange No. 15 made famous over Tebow's four Florida seasons remains a hot ticket in myriad sports shops and department stores across Gainesville, not to mention en masse in the Swamp on game days.

 

And a signature sight after the school's summer or winter commencement ceremonies: Diploma-toting graduates, still clad in caps and gowns, kneeling at the statue's base for photos that let Tebow share in their big-day memories.

 

Par for the course, says local sales executive Drew Jasinski.

 

"It's awesome how big the phenomenon has become. To me, he represents everything you want in a leader - someone you want to root for, not criticize," the 2004 graduate said. "He is part of the Gator Nation and the people who live in Gainesville. He is like family to all of us.

 

Their hero's next chance at a miracle comes Saturday night in Foxborough, where most people are convinced he'll need exactly that to help the Broncos defeat their top-seeded opponents in the AFC playoffs - Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

 

"They let him play how he plays," Foley said. "Throwing the ball on first down, things like that. That's what he did when he was here. You didn't see that with him before (in Denver). It works."

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
