New York Mets won a game yesterday against St Louis which lasted 20 innings and just short on seven hours!

Bog Ben suspended for six games. A bit harsh.

They are also now looking to trade him, possibly to the Raiders.

Not bad for apparently raping someone. He should be in jail!
Steelers seem to know alot more than the public and i think they fear further repercussions later down the line!

Ben Roethlisberger at the Raiders sounds like a match made in heaven.

I was at the astros braves game in 2005 that went to 18 innings which was a post season record, even got to see Kurt Shilling (sp?) relief pitch.

Rams go with bradford in the draft. Suh and McCoy to the Lions and Bucs. Redskins take Trent Williams OT at number 4 instead of Okung

Tebow to Broncos in first round, why did they trade for Brady Quinn? Jimmy Clausen still not picked.

BallyhaiseMan · April 23, 2010, 10:49:09 AM

Clausen has a bad rep,due to a bar fight and supposedly not being very poular with his Notre Dame teammates.
Hes still a far better passer than Tebow.
Aas Minder said,where does that leave Brady Quinn?

I don't think Tebow will be a quarterback as we know it. Tebow will either be a 'wildcat' QB option, because of his running ability, or they may even try to convert him to be a Tight End.

He's drafted because the Broncos think he will be a quality fella in the dressing room.
