Eagle for Life? McNabb gets contract restructured
Football Betting Lines
06/11/2009 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Eagles restructured the final two years of Donovan McNabb's contract on Thursday. The franchise quarterback's current deal is set to expire at the conclusion of the 2010 season.
The Eagles, who signed McNabb to a lengthy extension back in 2002, did not release the financial details but have scheduled a press conference at 10 a.m. (et) on Friday.
"We are thrilled that this all worked out," said Eagles president Joe Banner. "[McNabb] is a great football player, a great person, and someone who gives back to the community. We are lucky to have him in Philadelphia."
The second overall pick in the 1999 Draft has played his entire 10-year career in Philadelphia, guiding the Eagles to five NFC Championship games, including an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIX.
The Chicago native had a tumultuous 2008 campaign, highlighted by his benching in a Week 12 blowout loss to Baltimore. But the five-time Pro Bowl selection battled back to lead the Eagles to four victories in their final five regular season games to sneak into the playoffs, where they were once again ousted in the NFC title bout by Arizona.
McNabb has re-written the franchise's record book for quarterbacks, ranking first in passing yards (29,320), touchdowns passes (194) and completions (2,534). He also has the lowest interception percentage in NFL history (2.09 percent).
In addition, the Syracuse product has rushed for 26 TDs and 3,109 yards in his career.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
