03/18/2010 - Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly relieved general manager Scot McCloughan of his duties due to "personal matters" on Thursday.

The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting the story via AOL Fanhouse while team officials have yet to comment.

McCloghan was named general manager in January of 2008 after the team stripped then head coach Mike Nolan of his personnel power. At the time, McCloughan was vice president of player personnel, a position he had held since 2005.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
