Broncos release RB Fargas
Football Betting Lines
08/30/2010 -
Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Broncos have released running back
Justin Fargas.
Fargas signed with the Broncos on August 11, but was let go after recording 17
yards on 10 carries in two preseason games.
Fargas spent his first seven NFL seasons playing for Oakland, which released
him in the offseason. The team indicated he had failed a physical at the time,
but the veteran was also due to receive a $1.7 million roster bonus.
The 30-year-old Fargas played through nagging injuries the last two years
after posting his lone 1,000-yard season in 2007. In 92 career games, Fargas
rushed for 3,369 yards and 10 TDs while adding 523 yards on 77 receptions.
Also on Monday, the Broncos designated cornerback Tony Carter as
waived/injured. He played in two games for Denver in 2009.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
