LPGA Tour founder Danoff dies at 88Golf Betting Lines12/22/2011 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bettye Danoff, who was one of the 13 founding members of the LPGA Tour in 1950, has died. She was 88. Known by fellow playing pros as "Mighty Mite" for her diminutive stature, Danoff died Thursday in Texas, the LPGA Tour said. In a statement, LPGA commissioner Mike Whan said the tour was living proof that Danoff made a difference in the world of golf. "Because of her courage, and the vision/belief of many others that followed our founders, we all get to participate in a fantastic business and game," said Whan. Danoff began playing golf at the age of six when her parents opened a driving range and a nine-hole golf course. Among her career achievements was beating Babe Zaharias 1-up in the Texas Women's Open, ending Zaharias' 17-tournament winning streak. Before turning professional in 1949, Danoff played exhibitions as an amateur with rising PGA Tour star Byron Nelson and was the medalist at the 1948 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship. She traveled with her three daughters while competing on the LPGA Tour in the days before tour childcare. "I remember traveling for five consecutive tournaments with her while she played," said Debbie Bell, her youngest daughter. "She was often frustrated because she had to find friends and people to help watch us while she competed." After her husband died suddenly in 1961, Danoff was limited to playing tournaments in Texas and Oklahoma while she raised her family. Later, she was the first grandmother on the LPGA Tour.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change TeamsIt’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column. We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side. Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor. Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season. Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference. The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your college football betting needs. |
