Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen dies
Football Betting Lines
03/11/2010 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pro football Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen
died early Thursday morning in California after a battle with cancer.
He was 69 years old.
Olsen was a two-time All-American at Utah State, playing both the offensive
and defensive line, and won the Outland Trophy as the nation's outstanding
interior lineman in 1961, then went on to star in the NFL for the Los Angeles
Rams.
In 15 seasons with the Rams, Olsen was selected for 14 Pro Bowls and was part
of the famed "Fearsome Foursome" defensive line with Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier
and Lamar Lundy. He was selected as the NFL's Rookie of the Year in 1962 and
was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of Merlin's passing. He was not only an
extraordinary football player but just a superb human being," stated Hall of
Fame President/Executive Director Steve Perry.
Olsen played in 208 NFL games with the Rams, helping the club to six division
titles and three NFC Championship Game appearances. He was a member of two NFL
All-Decade teams -- the 1960s and 1970s.
After his football career ended in 1976, Olsen made a smooth transition to the
broadcast booth with NBC Sports. He also worked as an actor, first on "Little
House on the Prairie" and then starring in "Father Murphy."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
