Big Hurt returns to White Sox as team ambassadorBaseball Betting Lines07/27/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two-time American League MVP Frank Thomas, who announced his retirement last winter, will rejoin the Chicago White Sox as a team ambassador. Thomas, who played 19 seasons in the majors, will have his uniform No. 35 retired by the White Sox on August 29. In his new role, Thomas will make appearances on behalf of the White Sox and will serve as a team representative in the community and in the majors. "Frank Thomas is one of the greatest offensive players in Major League Baseball history and, without question, one of the greatest players in our franchise's long history," said White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. "It is with great pleasure that we formally welcome Frank back to the White Sox family." Thomas, who will become eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014, had a contentious relationship with the White Sox after the team bought out the option on his contract. That came after the 2005 season when the White Sox won the World Series. That prompted White Sox general manager Ken Williams to call Thomas "an idiot" and "selfish." A five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger Award winner, Thomas spent 16 seasons with the White Sox (1990-2005) before finishing up in Toronto and Oakland. He won back-to-back AL MVP honors in 1993 and '94.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
