Stoke's Pulis OK with Tuncay's angry exit

Soccer Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Stoke-on-Trent, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has drawn a line under the new controversy surrounding Tuncay's angry reaction to being substituted in the goalless draw with Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Turkey forward walked straight down the tunnel after being replaced early on in the second half of the Britannia Stadium stalemate, but Pulis is content that Tuncay was just disappointed at being withdrawn.

"Tuncay is a great lad and he's disappointed he's come off," Pulis told The Sentinel. "We all react differently and we have to accept that.

"He's been a smashing pro since he's been here, but he doesn't like coming off and that's fine because there's a lot of players like that.

"I don't have to justify it in any shape or form. I don't do it because it's personal, it's all about the team for me and that's always been my philosophy.

"I've always been like that. As a young manager, I didn't worry if I brought off a senior player or a so-called name player if I thought it was the right thing to do.

"I know people are disappointed when Tuncay comes off, but I do what's best for the team."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
