05/07/2009 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fourth-seeded Czech slugger Tomas Berdych and former world No. 1 star Lleyton Hewitt were among Thursday's second-round winners at the $595,000 clay-court BMW Open.

Berdych came from behind to edge out wild card and German crowd favorite Andreas Beck 1-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), while the two-time major champion Hewitt handled Dutch qualifier Thiemo De Bakker 6-3, 6-4 at MTTC Iphitos.

Meanwhile, German wild card Daniel Brands snuck past Frenchman Julien Benneteau 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6) and Italian Potito Starace stifled countryman Simone Bolelli 6-4, 7-6 (7-5). Bolelli was last year's BMW runner-up to Chilean Fernando Gonzalez.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
