Bayern sets lofty price for Ribery

Soccer Betting Lines

01/21/2009 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayern Munich have warned off potential suitors after placing a $193 million price tag on the head of Franck Ribery.

The France winger has been linked with a move to AC Milan in recent days as a potential replacement for Kaka.

The Brazil star was in line for a $168 million move from the Italian giants to Manchester City before the deal fell through earlier in the week.

But Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness claimed that if Kaka was worth that figure, then Ribery's value was greater.

"If Kaka is meant to be worth $168 million, then Franck Ribery is worth $193 million," claimed Hoeness.

"We would only perhaps start to consider selling him at a sum like this."

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
