Suns reportedly set to add Babby to front officeBasketball Betting Lines07/19/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Phoenix Suns have called a news conference for Tuesday morning, when it is expected Lon Babby will be named president of basketball operations. Phoenix indicated only that a "major announcement" would be made Tuesday, but multiple media outlets have reported it is to name Babby as the successor to Steve Kerr, whose contract was not renewed and has since re-joined TNT as a game analyst. The Arizona Republic reported the organization is still likely to hire a new general manager. Kerr wore both hats during his tenure with the club, first joining the Suns as part-owner and consultant in 2004 before taking the reins as president and general manager in June 2007. Babby would follow a seldom-followed path to the front office, having served as a player agent and practiced sports law for more than 30 years with Williams & Connolly LLP. Most notably, Babby represents Suns forward Grant Hill, the Spurs' Tim Duncan and Celtics guard Ray Allen. Babby also represents numerous professional baseball players and has served as club counsel, then general counsel for the Washington Redskins (1977-1980) and Baltimore Orioles (1979-1994). In addition, he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
