Tyreke Evans pleads no contest to reckless driving
Basketball Betting Lines
07/23/2010 -
Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans, the
reigning rookie of the Year, pled no contest to reckless driving.
Sacramento district attorney Jan Scully made the announcement Friday, saying
Evans was ordered to serve three years probation, 80 hours of alternative
sentencing and will have to participate in two California Highway Patrol
driving programs. Evans' license was suspended for 30 days.
The plea stems from a May 31 traffic stop when Evans was driving up to 130
m.p.h. while crossing lanes on I-80. A motorcycle officer pulled over Evans
after he passed a number of vehicles.
"This kind of reckless driving puts the safety of citizens who travel our
roads and highways at enormous risk," deputy district attorney Suzanne Salazar
stated. "By sentencing the defendant to participate in CHP's driving program
for young drivers, he will be required to educate others that this type of
driving is dangerous and unacceptable."
Selected with the fourth overall pick out of Memphis as a freshman, the 20-
year-old Evans averaged 20.1 points, 5.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds in starting
each of the 72 games in which he appeared.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
