Carmelo Anthony doesnt get the same calls as other superstars

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Theres not always a right-or-wrong answer to the question of whether they should stay or go, even with hindsight.Just ask Alabama senior safety Eddie Jackson, the Crimson Tides All-American safety who elected to bypass the NFL draft following last season and return for his senior year -- only to have that season cut short by a broken left leg last week.Hes done a fantastic job for us, and Im just sick for him and his family, Alabama coach Nick Saban said. I hate it that its one of the things about sports, all sports, and that we have to deal with sometimes as injuries.Across the Southeastern Conference and the nation, players like Jackson weigh the benefits and risks of leaving school early.For some, the decision is largely a result of an immediate need for financial stability, for themselves and their families. Others see a potentially greater payday if they wait one more season before turning pro, with possibly 13 games -- as many as 15, in the case of Alabama last season -- to prove themselves on the collegiate level.Jacksons gamble ended with a season-ending injury. It was a heartbreaking moment for one of the SECs best, but the truth is it wasnt a worst-case scenario.Jackson still has the chance to recover from leg surgery and prove himself to NFL scouts, and he has eight games as a senior, filled with highlights for talent evaluators to study.The situation was much different for former Arkansas offensive lineman Denver Kirkland, who was a junior when he left the Razorbacks and declared for the NFL following last season -- only to go undrafted.While Kirkland has since recovered from his disappointment, signing with Oakland and being promoted to the Raiders active roster late last month, his decision was one Arkansas coach Bret Bielema lamented following the draft.So much so that Bielema discussed the possibility of a rules change last spring , one that would allow undrafted underclassmen to return to college without losing their playing eligibility.If (an underclassman) could sit down with NFL people or personnel people that are making the decisions firsthand, I think it could be a great resource, Bielema said. And you know what? It works out better for everybody. Graduation rates to go up. Success rates go up. Failure rates go down. Kids are in school longer. Kids are in preparation to be in the NFL to play longer.While Jacksons injury will serve as a cautionary tale to underclassmen considering a jump to the NFL, its worth noting several other SEC standouts have benefited greatly from returning for their senior seasons this year.Jonathan Allen, Tim Williams, Reuben Foster and O.J. Howard have each played well for the No. 1 Crimson Tide, while Auburn defensive linemen Montravius Adams and Carl Lawson have been at the forefront of the Tigers resurgence. Also, Florida seniors Marcus Maye and Jarrad Davis returned after considering the NFL -- and are two of the top three tacklers on the SECs top-ranked defense.Maye, who has emerged from the shadow of former teammates and first-round NFL draft picks Vernon Hargreaves and Keanu Neal to become a stabilizing force for the Gators secondary, called Jacksons injury saddening and said he felt badly for the Alabama safety.You know, you want to come back, but you dont want to take the chance of getting hurt, Maye said. .So, a lot of things play a part in making the decision to come back.For Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze, the decision whether to stay or go is a clear-cut one -- even following the Jackson injury. He believes you stay in college unless youre sure youre a first rounder.Its just to me, its worth it to stay, Freeze said. He could get hurt in his first game in the league also. I dont know -- to me you stay and get your degree unless youre a sure first rounder.---AP Sports Writers Mark Long, John Zenor, David Brandt, Brett Martel and Steve Megargee contributed to this report.

Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers not cooperating, the MGM sportsbook in Las Vegas was left hoping Mother Nature would be able to stop the Denver Broncos from delivering one of the books biggest losses on a choppy Sunday for the house.The favored Broncos led 27-7 with 6:52 remaining in the fourth quarter when inclement weather moved in, forcing the game to be suspended.Like most Las Vegas sportsbooks, house rules at the MGM stipulate that 55 minutes must be played for bets to be official. If Sundays game in Tampa had not been resumed, it would have been 1 minute, 52 seconds short of reaching 55 minutes, and all bets -- the majority of which were on the Broncos at the MGM, including a six-figure money-line wager -- would have been refunded.No such luck, lamented MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood, who took six times as many bets on the Broncos as the Buccaneers.Nearly 70 percent of the money bet on the game at William Hills Nevada sportsbook was on Denver. The sportsbook at the Stratosphere reported similar lopsided action on the Broncos.The game resumed after just over an hour delay, and Denver finished off an easy win as a 3.5-point favorite, much to the delight of a deep-pocketed MGM casino guest, who after losing big on New England in the early slate, cleaned up on the Broncos. Rood said the high-rollers bets ranged from five to six figures.He was all over the place [on Denver], money-line, first halves, parlays, Rood said. Hes hitting everything. Hes pretty much got his bankroll in play.The Broncos also took a bite out of the book at the South Point Casino, but director Chris Andrews, despite the loss, was happy the game resumed so he didnt have to deal with angry Denver bettors, who would have seen what looked like a sure winner turned into a refund. In all honestly, Im glad theyre finishing the game, just so I dont have to put up with it, Andrews said with a chuckle. Id rather lose the money and not have to put with all the [expletive].Overall on Sunday, Las Vegas sportsbooks reported getting off to a good start to the day, with upsets by underdogs Buffalo, Chicago and Atlanta producing big early wins. But the Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys covering the spread in the afternoon games sucked up most of the books early profit.Nick Bodganovich, director of trading for William Hill, characterized the day as a wash.Early games were great, late ones were not, added Stratosphere sportsbook manager Hugh Citron.College football extra pointsPer NCAA rule 8-3-2 a, if a touchdown is scored during a down in which time in the fourth period expires, the try shall not be attempted unless the point(s) would afffect the outcome of the game.ddddddddddddSome college football bettors learned that rule the hard way on Saturday; the unluckiest of the bunch may have learned it twice. Tennessee, a 3.5-point favorite over Georgia, stunned the Bulldogs 34-31, with a 43-yard Hail Mary hookup between quarterback Joshua Dobbs?and Jauan Jennings on the last play of the game. With time expired, the Volunteers did not attempt the extra point, which, if successful, would have covered the spread.It turned what would have been the biggest loser of the day into a decent-sized winner, said Ed Salmons, assistant manager at the Westgate SuperBook.The scenario played out again in Pittsburgh, where the Panthers capped a win over Marshall with an interception return for a touchdown on the games final play. Pittsburgh, a 16.5-point favorite, did not attempt the extra point. Final score: Pittsburgh 43, Marshall 27.Ben Simmons injury impactThe Westgate SuperBook took the season win total on the Philadelphia 76ers off the board while awaiting clarification on the status of No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons, who suffered a broken right foot on Friday and is out indefinitely. The SuperBook opened the 76ers win total at 27.5.The most popular bet so far on the SuperBooks NBA win totals? The Knicks over.New Yorks win total opened at 38.5 but had been bet up to 40.5 as of Sunday.Jeff Sherman, NBA oddsmaker for the SuperBook, said the second-most popular win total bet has been the Phoenix Suns over.Others receiving attention are Nets over, Mavericks under, Nuggets over, Rockets over, Pacers over, Raptors over and Lakers over, Sherman said.Odds and ends--A bettor at the MGM sportsbook placed an approximately $20,000 money-line bet on Northwestern +375 to beat Iowa straight-up. The Wildcats upset the Hawkeyes 38-31.--The South Point sportsbook offered odds on how many games the Patriots would win during Tom Bradys four-game suspension. New England won three of four without Brady, losing only to the Bills on Sunday. In the South Points proposition bet, three wins attracted the least amount of money from bettors.--Salmons, the Westgate football oddsmaker, said he likely wouldnt adjust his power ratings on the Denver Broncos with rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch potentially replacing injured starter Trevor Siemian.--The over/under on the Marshall-Pittsburgh game opened as high as 71 earlier in the week. It dropped 13 points at some shops by Saturdays kickoff and closed at 58. The total (Pittsburgh 43, Marshall 27) ended up at 70. ' ' '
