Football Betting Lines
06/12/2009 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Pro Bowl quarterback Trent Green has reportedly decided to retire after 15 seasons in the NFL.
FOXSports.com is saying on its website that Green told them he has decided to retire from the sport after talking things over with his family.
Green began his career with San Diego in 1993 and earned a Super Bowl ring with St. Louis in 2000, but he played his best seasons in Kansas City and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2003 and 2005 with the team.
Starting in 2003, he threw for over 4,000 yards the next three seasons, but suffered a severe concussion halfway through the 2006 season and had another concussion the next season with Miami.
He signed on with St. Louis in 2008 and appeared in three games with one start.
Over his 15 seasons, he posted a record of 56-57 and threw for 27,475 yards along with 162 touchdowns and 114 interceptions. He had a completion percentage of 60.6 percent and added six touchdowns on the ground.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
