Redskins bring in RB Johnson

Football Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Ashburn, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Redskins signed running back Larry Johnson on Friday.

Terms of the deal were not announced, but a report in the Washington Post says the contract is for three years and a total of $12 million.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection was released from the Chiefs last November following a suspension that was levied after the former first-round pick posted demeaning comments toward Chiefs head coach Todd Haley, using a pair of gay slurs in the process.

He was later picked up by Cincinnati and played in seven games with the Bengals, running for 204 yards.

The 30-year-old now returns home after growing up in Pomfret, Maryland.

"Being from the Maryland area, [I] grew up watching the Redskins," Johnson said. "That's what was on the TV, the Redskins and Cowboys...there's just so much history. I used to go to their camps--Gary Clark, Art Monk, all of those guys were there.

"It's great to be in a city with all my family and friends and everybody I basically went to high school and college with that's still down here. So it's fun."

Over his seven-year career, he has totaled 6,219 yards with 55 touchdowns along with 154 catches for 1,373 yards and six scores.

His best season came in the 2006 campaign, when he rushed for a career-high 1,789 yards and added 19 total touchdowns with Kansas City.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
