MUNICH -- After serving 21 months of a 3 1/2 year-prison sentence for tax evasion, Uli Hoeness is set to return to his previous position as president of German giant Bayern Munich.Bayerns management advisory board unanimously proposed Hoeness on Saturday as the only candidate up for election by members at its annual general meeting on Nov. 25.Current president Karl Hopfner is not seeking re-election, the Bundesliga champion said.Hoeness quit as Bayern president in March 2014 after being sentenced to prison for evading millions of euros in taxes via an undeclared Swiss bank account. He was released in February after serving half of the sentence.The 64-year-old Hoeness remained close to Bayern while in custody, benefiting from a work-release program in the clubs youth department during the day before returning to prison overnight.As a player, Hoeness won the 1972 European Championship and the 1974 World Cup with West Germany and three straight European Cups -- the predecessor of the Champions League -- with Bayern before retiring in 1979 with chronic knee problems.Under his guidance as general manager, Bayern built financial reserves rarely seen in debt-ridden European soccer.Air Jordan 1 Saldi . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. Vapormax Scontate . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring. http://www.scontatescarpenikeoutlet.it/italia-yeezy-350-offerte.html . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. Air Max 90 False . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Air Max Plus False . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal.The Chicago Cubs are the clear-cut favorites to win the World Series, a feat that would end their 108-year championship drought and take a bite out of some, but not all, Las Vegas sportsbooks.The Cubs are 9-5 to win the World Series at the Westgate SuperBook, followed by the Boston Red Sox at 9-2, the Texas Rangers at 5-1 and the Los Angeles Dodgers at 7-1. The Toronto Blue Jays and Washington Nationals are each 8-1, with the San Francisco Giants and Cleveland Indians each listed at 12-1.Chicago is the worst-case scenario for the Wynn race and sportsbook, which, for the past two years, had offered a proposition wager on whether the Cubs would win the World Series in either 2016 or 2017. In March, the props odds were Yes +250 and No -300. Bettors sided heavily with Yes.Overall, three times as much money has been bet on the Cubs to win the World Series as any other team at the Wynn, including a handful of futures bets that would pay out six figures on a Chicago championship.The Cubs are a pretty substantial loss for us, not just for that prop but also for the [World Series] futures, Wynn executive director Johnny Avello said. But Im working on it. Ive got about three weeks to play around and see what I can do. The Wynn is offering the Cubs at 2-1 against the playoff field, a -240 favorite. The wiser money, Avello said, has been on the field. But the betting public is overwhelmingly on the Cubs, per usual.Station Casinos said it has taken twice as many bets on the Cubs to win the World Series as any other team. But not all of them are expected to be cashed, even if the Cubs win it all for the first time since 1908.If they winn, I bet several [bets] wont get cashed in and will be saved as mementos on the walls of many North Side Chicago homes and Cubs fans everywhere, Jason McCormick, sportsbook director for Station Casinos, said.ddddddddddddBetting on the Cubs to win the World Series has been a tradition in Las Vegas for decades. They are almost always among the most popular picks by the betting public. Bookmakers even joke about how many casinos have been built off of the Cubs World Series bets.This might be the year they catch up to us, Avello added.Dont worry, though, Las Vegas is expected to be able to withstand a Cubs championship.The Cubs are our worst liability by far, said Bob Scucci, director of race and sports for Boyd Gaming, who works out of The Orleans casino, but because they opened up with such short odds, it is not nearly as bad as it could have been. In prior years it would have been four or five times as bad. Caesars Palace said it would come out ahead if the Cubs win the World Series. The Giants are the worst-case scenario at both Caesars and Station Casinos.William Hills Nevada sportsbook said its also in good shape on the Cubs. The Giants are the books worst-case scenario, which would turn the futures pool into a break-even wash.The Rangers attracted two significant futures bets at William Hill. On Dec. 7, a bettor placed a $25,000 on Texas winning the World Series at 15-1. The bet would net $375,000. And, on Aug. 8, the book took a $20,500 bet on the Rangers at +600. The bet would net $123,000. ' ' '
