A's extend Beane, Crowley through 2019
Baseball Betting Lines
02/07/2012 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff says general manager Billy Beane and president Michael Crowley have reached agreements to remain with the team through the 2019 season.
Wolff told Bloomberg Television on Tuesday that he expects both executives to sign contract extensions within 30 days.
"I view them as partners as well as executives," Wolff told Bloomberg. "So if they are here another 30 years, that is fine with me. I may not be here to see it, but that will be fine."
Beane and Crowley both received contract extensions in June 2007 through the 2014 season.
Beane, of course, gained a reputation for building contenders on a budget since taking over as GM in 1997, while Crowley joined the organization about a year later.
Both executives are limited partners in the A's ownership group.
Actor Brad Pitt is nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Beane in the movie "Moneyball," which was based on the Michael Lewis book. The awards are February 26.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
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.
