Football Betting Lines

01/07/2009 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Montreal Alouettes re-signed 2008 East Division All-Star offensive tackle Josh Bourke to a new two-year contract plus an option year, vice president and general manager Jim Popp announced Wednesday.

"This is a huge signing for our organization," said Popp. "In a short period of time, Josh has become one of the best offensive linemen in the CFL, bringing security to one of the toughest and most important positions on the football field at left tackle. We're confident his work ethic will help us continue to have a top-notch offensive line for years to come. Josh is the type of player we want to build our foundation around."

The 6-foot-7, 315-pound Bourke brought stability and youth to the left tackle position last season. The 26-year-old helped the Alouettes offensive line establish its best year since the team re-joined the CFL in 1996, allowing just 22 sacks and helping set a franchise record with 610 points scored last season.
