07/20/2010 - Florham Park, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Jets announced on Tuesday that six names associated with the franchise will be added to the club's new Ring of Honor this upcoming season.
The initial class of inductees will include former head coach Weeb Ewbank, lineman Joe Klecko, running back Curtis Martin, wide receiver Don Maynard, quarterback Joe Namath and tackle Winston Hill. They will be officially enshrined during the Jets' first home game at their new stadium on August 16.
Ewbank served as head coach of the Jets from 1963-73, going 71-77-6. His best season at the helm came in 1968, when New York won the AFL title then went on to upset the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III.
Klecko was a stalwart on the Jets' defensive line from 1977-87, and during the early 1980's, teamed up with Marty Lyons, Abdul Salaam, and Mark Gastineau to form the New York Sack Exchange.
Martin rushed for 10,302 yards and 58 touchdowns with the Jets from 1998 until the end of his career in 2005. He led the NFL with 1,697 rushing yards in 2004 and scored 12 times that season, his most in one year with New York.
Maynard, who was an original member of the club when it joined the American Football League as the Titans in 1960, spent 13 seasons with the franchise and racked up 11,732 receiving yards with 88 TDs. He was a member of the Jets' 1968 Super Bowl winners.
Namath, of course, was credited as the on-field architect of that famous championship on the heels of his victory guarantee over the heavily-favored Colts. The Alabama product threw for over 27,000 yards and 170 scores while under center for the Jets from 1965-76.
Hill played in 198 games in 14 seasons with the Jets between 1963-76.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
