Bucs part ways with Derrick Ward

Football Betting Lines

08/31/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released running back Derrick Ward, who spent just one unsuccessful season with the club after signing as a free agent in the spring of 2009.

Ward had a breakout 2008 campaign with the New York Giants, rushing for 1,025 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 5.6 yards per attempt. He then signed a four-year deal with the Bucs, but managed just 409 yards and one score in 14 games last season.

"No decision is made lightly around here," said Bucs head coach Raheem Morris. "It was just time to make it today."

Morris mentioned the club's backfield of Cadillac Williams, Earnest Graham and Kareem Huggins as reasons for Ward's release.

"We've got Cadillac, who we're all happy to have, and we also have Insurance Graham for us back there," Morris added. "He's able to carry the ball for us as well. And also we have our little spark plug in Huggy, and he's able to come in and provide a different look for us. We look forward to watching those guys run the rest of the preseason."

The Buccaneers also released wide receiver Terrence Nunn and placed linebacker Jon Alston on injured reserve to reach the roster limit of 75. The team will make its final cuts on Saturday.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
