Premiership Betting Review - 5 February 2006
...Alan Shearer broke Jackie Milburn's all-time Newcastle scoring record with his 201st goal in a vital 2-0 win over relegation strugglers Portsmouth. The Magpies were playing their first match under temporary manager Glenn Roeder and were 4/5 to win before kick off. An opener from Charles NZogbia and a second from Shearer gave Newcastle their first Premiership win in seven attempts.
In another personal goal scoring feat, Thierry Henry netted his 200th goal for arsenal as the Gunners overcame their away day fragility to win 2-0 at Birmingham City. Arsene Wengers side had not won away since beating Charlton Athletic on Boxing Day and will have had plenty of support at 11/10 against bottom-three Birmingham. A debut goal for Emmanuel Adebayor and Henrys landmark strike was enough to keep Arsenal in fifth place.

NFL Draft Offers Gems for Fantasy Football Players
...y want to watch for a late selection or a free-agency pickup, as the season moves ahead:
1Heath Miller, TE taken by Pittsburgh: Would be ranked higher, because hell probably start, but tight ends are always a big question mark. If you are in a fantasy league that requires you to take a tight end, Miller is a good one.
2Vernand Morency, RB selected by houston: Watch for an injury to Domanick Davis and grab Morency the second it happens.
3Maurice Clarett, RB taken by Denver: They love him and would like to see him prove all of the critics wrong. Hell get a chance to play.
4Matt Jones, WR selected by Jacksonville: Many feel the former QB is the best athlete in the NFL draft. At 6-6 with 4-5 speed and great hands, who knows?
5Roddy White, WR taken by atlanta in the first round. Very fast and underrated. The Falcons saw little from Michael Jenkins last season, so keep a close eye on White.
6Chris Henry, WR taken by cincinnati. Very big and fast. Could be a factor around the goal line in three and four receiver sets.
7Reggie Brown, WR selected by philadelphia. The Eagles have a few question marks at the position, not the least of which is the bizarre antics of Terrell Owens.
8Ciatrick Fason, RB taken by minnesota. With running back being so unsettled, Fason could emerge as the starter. Watch this one very closely.

...urgh-Seattle game throughout their casinos, offering food and drink specials.
Vegans and tourists also have the option of watching Super Bowl XL in sports books throughout Nevada; just come early, stake your claim (some bet shops feature more comfortable chairs than others), make your wagers and start searching for those specials.
Harrah's will give patrons Super Bowl t-shirts with $50 parlay wagers and showing the game at its Piano, Carnaval, Winning Streaks and other bars, while fiesta Rancho will give away a 2006 Dodge Ram during festivities.
Many former NFL stars will spend Super Bowl weekend in Sin City, but most will maintain low profiles to escape media glare.
They'll limit public appearances to things like "tributes" and charity auctions, then mix and mingle "privately."
John Elway, for one, should thank the Steelers for creaming Denver in the afc title game, as he already was committed here. So's Dan Marino, who never really had a reason to believe he'd be anywhere else on Super Bowl Sunday.
