Ticats release RB Cobourne, two others
Football Betting Lines
02/01/2012 - Hamilton, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats cut running back Avon Cobourne loose on Wednesday, along with two other players.
Cobourne helped the Montreal Alouettes to a pair of Grey Cup titles in 2009-10, and earned MVP honors in the 2009 title game. He signed with Hamilton as a free agent last February, and totaled 961 yards with eight rushing touchdowns on 202 carries, adding 50 receptions for 459 yards.
Nonetheless, Hamilton brought in Martell Mallett on Monday, a 25-year-old Arkansas-Pine Bluff product who never quite caught on with several NFL franchises.
"We spoke with Avon following the addition of Mallett to our roster to determine what course of action he would prefer. After speaking with him again today, we are granting Avon's request to be released," said Ticats vice president of football operations Bob O'Billovich. "We would like to thank Avon for his outstanding contributions to our team last season and wish him all the best in the future."
In addition, the Ticats released defensive lineman Luc Mullinder and offensive lineman Simeon Rottier. Rottier was set to become a free agent later this month but had repeatedly rebuffed the club's contract offers.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
