Cowboys' Adam Jones reinstated

Football Betting Lines

11/19/2008 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said cornerback Adam Jones has been reinstated from his suspension by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but the player must miss two more games before coming back Dec. 7 at Pittsburgh.

Adam Jones was suspended indefinitely without pay by the league for an alcohol-related altercation with a personal security guard at a Dallas hotel. He was suspended at least four games for violating his reinstatement arrangement, which expected the 25-year-old to refrain from any behavior that put him, his team or the league in a negative light.

Before the season, Goodell reinstated Jones, formerly known by his nickname "Pacman," after being suspended for the entire 2007 season for off-the-field conduct. Then with the Tennessee Titans, he had numerous run-ins with the law in just two NFL seasons, including an alleged involvement in a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club during the NBA's All-Star weekend in February 2007. That incident left an employee of the club paralyzed from the waist down.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
