Soccer Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Fire Soccer signed 24-year-old Dutch forward Collins John, the Major League Soccer club announced on Friday.

"We are very excited to have Collins join the Chicago Fire," Fire Technical Director Frank Klopas said. "Collins is a talented player and he will be a great addition to the club. He is a quick and powerful forward with a nose for goal and we believe he will be a good fit to the attacking style we will play this season."

John, who has been on trial with the Fire since Feb. 4, joins the club as a free agent. He began his professional career in 2002 with Eredivisie side FC Twente, where he appeared in 35 matches over an 18-month span before being sold to English premier League side Fulham FC in January of 2004.

During his time with Fulham FC, John partnered with current Fire forward Brian McBride, scoring 20 goals in 95 matches. Since leaving Fulham in 2007, John has spent time with English clubs Leceister City and Watford FC, and Holland side NEC Nijimegen, before signing with K.S.V. Roselare in Belgium in 2009.

John will be officially added to the roster pending receipt of his visa and International Transfer Certificate. Per league and club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

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.
