Blackhawks sign Madden away from New JerseyHockey Betting Lines07/02/2009 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks have signed center John Madden to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal for the long-time New Jersey Devils defensive standout were not disclosed, but the Newark Star-Ledger had reported it to be worth $2.75 million. Madden had spent his entire career with the Devils, helping the club to a pair of Stanley Cup titles. He posted seven goals and 16 assists in 76 games last season, but is best known for his ability to shut down top opposing centers. The 36-year-old veteran won the Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive forward in 2001 and was a finalist for the honor in 2003, 2004 and 2008. He also holds the Devils franchise record with 17 short-handed goals. "John is a proven winner and one of the premier defensive forwards in the game who also has the talent to contribute with timely offense as well," said Blackhawks general manager Dale Tallon. "Adding his experience to our team is an important piece to the puzzle." Madden notched a career-best 43 points during the 2007-08 campaign and owns career totals of 140 goals, 157 assists and 297 points over 712 regular-season games. He has chipped in 20 goals and 21 assists for 41 points in 112 playoff tilts.

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. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
