11/05/2007 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Major League Soccer announced Monday that New England Revolution defender Michael Parkhurst has been selected as the 2007 Defender of the Year. The award is his second major award of the 2007 season and the fourth of his career. Last week, Parkhurst was awarded the MLS Fair Play Award.
The Defender of the Year was determined by equal voting from the media, MLS players and MLS coaches and general managers. Parkhurst was a finalist for the award with Houston's Eddie Robinson and Chivas USA's Claudio Suarez.
"I'm honored to be voted the league's defender of the year," Parkhurst said. "There are a lot of great defenders in this league so to be singled out is humbling. Both Claudio (Suarez) and Eddie (Robinson) had excellent years and were big components of their teams' success."
"Any defensive award is also a testament to the whole team, so my teammates - from the back to the front - are a big part of this honor," Parkhurst said.
Parkhurst, 23, a native of Cranston, R.I., and former Wake Forest University Demon Deacon, appeared as a First XI selection to the 2007 MLS All-Star team where the MLS All-Stars defeated Celtic FC 2-0 on July 19. He played in and started 25 games at central defender for the Revolution, who finished in second place in the Eastern Conference with a 14-8-8 record.
Parkhurst missed the first three games of the season recovering from a preseason shoulder injury, but came back to anchor a defense that recorded 10 shutouts, and two more in their first two games of the MLS Cup Playoffs. His fine form since joining the league has also led to his inclusion as a member of the U.S. Men's National Team. He represented the United States in their victorious run in the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Previously, Parkhurst was the 2005 winner of the Rookie of the Year award, a two-time MLS All-Star and the 2006 U.S. Soccer Foundation Humanitarian of the Year.
Parkhurst and the Revolution return to action on Thursday when they play in their MLS-record sixth consecutive Eastern Conference Championship. The Revs will host the Chicago Fire at Gillette Stadium.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
