49ers' Bryant suspended four games
Football Betting Lines
12/23/2006 - Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Antonio Bryant has been suspended four games for violating the NFL Substance Abuse Policy.
Bryant was arrested last month for suspicion of drunk driving, among other charges. He will be sidelined for the final two regular season games and the first two games of next season. Should the Niners defy the odds and make the playoffs, the suspension would count toward those games.
The 6-2, 188-pound wideout will be eligible to participate in both training camp and preseason contests next year despite the suspension.
Bryant played in 14 games this season, finishing with 40 catches for 733 yards and three touchdowns. In five seasons with Dallas, Cleveland and San Francisco, he has amassed 250 receptions for 3,837 yards and 19 TDs.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
