10-men Crew blank Colorado, 2-0
Soccer Betting Lines
07/27/2008 -
Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Crew earned three valuable
road points by topping the Colorado Rapids, 2-0, at Dick's Sporting Goods Park
on Sunday night.
Goals on each side of the half by Steven Lenhart and Jason Garey were enough
offense for the visitors as Crew goalkeeper Will Hesmer made seven saves -
many of them of the incredible variety - to earn his fifth clean sheet of the
season.
Conversely, Rapids goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul made just one save while letting
in both goals.
Lenhart was the first to victimize the Colorado 'keeper when he took a pass
from Stefani Miglioranzi in stride heading into the Rapids' penalty area and
chipped over Coundoul, who hesitated before coming out to challenge the
striker. It was Lenhart's third goal of the season in his first start of the
season.
Lenhart put his team at an extreme disadvantage at the end of the first half,
however, when he elbowed Colorado defender Facundo Erpen in the head in front
of the Rapids' goal. Referee Shane Moody handed Lenhart of red card for the
foul, forcing the Crew to play the entire second half down a man.
That didn't seem to matter as the Crew slowed the game down in the second half
before putting it out of reach with the insurance goal by Garey in the 75th
minute.
Hesmer punted the ball out of his end into the offensive third, where Eddie
Gaven flicked a header to Garey, who was breaking into the Rapids' area. Garey
made no mistake, chipping a shot over Coundoul for his first goal since
September of 2007.
The Crew (9-5-4) moved to within two points of the Eastern Conference leading
New England Revolution with the win and will look to take the lead when they
play at Houston on Saturday. The Rapids (6-9-3) dropped to second-to-last in
the Western table and will look to move up when they host Toronto in their
next league fixture on Aug. 9.

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 Sportsbook.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.
