Fletcher wants to end career at UnitedSoccer Betting Lines07/15/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has admitted he wants to end his career at the club. The Scotland international has been at the club for a decade and has already made 255 appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's first team. The 26-year-old is dreaming of emulating the successes of veterans Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, who still remain at Old Trafford. Speaking to reporters, he said: "You look at it as a step down if you leave. If you're lucky enough to stay, you'll have played at the top for your whole career and it doesn't get much bigger than Manchester United. "Players who left say, 'Think twice before you leave, because there's nowhere like Manchester United. Everything about the club makes it the place you want to be. No-one really thinks about leaving when you're here.' "Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are almost like urban legends. They're fantastic role models for younger players like me to have." Meanwhile, Fletcher has admitted he can see why the likes of David Beckham and Thierry Henry have opted to join Major League Soccer in the United States. The Red Devils are currently in America as their preseason preparations continue and the Scot has been impressed with what he has witnessed so far. "Everything about MLS and America - it's a great country - appeals to players," he added. "You see how MLS has progressed, the league keeps getting bigger. It's a massively growing sport. "There are great teams that would be big attractions to players. I wouldn't be surprised to see more players head out here." (Courtesy of sportbox.tv)

Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
