Let's Play A Game! Catch The Typo!
This was originally posted via the AP. This has not been edited in any way on this site.
Catch The Typo!
The Carolina Panthers ended their long wait in the draft by ending Jimmy Clausen's surprising drop, taking the Notre Dame quarterback with the 48th pick on Friday. After sitting out the first night of the draft with no first-round pick, the Panthers addressed one of their biggest needs and perhaps presented competition to newly minted starter Matt Moore.
The 6-foot-3, 2220-pound Clausen was rated as a first-round pick by many analysts, but wasn't selected on Thursday. Carolina took him ahead of his college teammate, Golden Tate, and other receiver prospects.
Clausen, who threw 60 touchdowns and 27 interceptions with the Fighting Irish, will join a thin quarterback unit with Carolina. The Panthers released longtime starter Jake Delhomme last month.

My Day One NFL Draft Thoughts
Here are my thoughts on day one of the NFL Draft, in no particular order.
Dez Bryant: The next NFL Superstar
The Dallas Cowboys made a fantastic move in picking up Dez Bryant with the 24th pick in the NFL draft. Jerry Jones apparently still loses sleep at night over the fact he didn't draft Randy Moss in 1998 due to "character issues." Bryant is a pure physical specimen, much like Moss when he came out of college. Great pickup by The Cowboys.
It was a suprise to see who came after Bryant with the 25th Pick...
God Bless Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow has taken a lot of heat lately. He's taken heat for his "pitching motion" type delivery. He has also taken a lot of heat for his unapolegetic faith. Tebow has since reformed his delivery. Tebow claims he lost some endorsements when he did that Super Bowl Ad, but he says it was a small price to pay.
I wonder if Kurt Warner had gone to the NFL Draft, if he would have been treated the same way some folks are treating Tim Tebow.
The reason he went #25: Josh McDaniels had to pick him up before Bill Bellichick would get him.
I heard somebody say that Tim Tebow would be a Super Bowl Champion in the NFL. It seems like the feel good story of Tebow will continue.
Expect Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning to dominate your TV Set this NFL Season with countless comercials.
Lions get Some Defensive Help
The Detroit Lions drafted Ndamukong Suh out of Nebraska. The Lions are starting to build up their defense. Good move, especially when you consider the Lions face great QBs in Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Jay Cutler in their own division.
Is Sam Bradford Damaged Goods?
I know Sam Bradford was considered the purest QB on the boards, but I still can't get past the fact that Bradford suffered not one, but two injuries to his throwing shoulder. I know the surgery is supposed to make him good as new, but with the lack of an offensive line in St Louis, Rams fans better keep their fingers crossed.
Clausen, Colt Still on board due to McNabb?
Day one of the NFL draft passed with Jimmy Clausen out of Notre Dame and Colt McCoy out of Texas still on the board. I wonder if the reason Clausen or McCoy are still on the board is due to the fact that Donovan McNabb is now a Redskin. If I had a choice between a young 20 year old QB and a 33 year old QB who may be in the worst shape of his career, I would take the 20 year old QB.

Colorado's Jimenez Tosses No Hitter
Ubaldo Jimenez of Colorado became the Rockies' first pitcher to throw a no hitter when he blanked the Atlanta Braves Saturday night 4-0.
Correction: The Braves did not move to Atlanta from Boston. They moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee.
Congratulations to Ubaldo Jimenez on the no hitter.

Mets and Cards Team Up for Marathon Game
It took almost seven hours for the Mets and Cardinals to complete their Saturday game, but they did with New York winning in 20 innings 2-1.
I Started watching this game...In The Nineteenth Inning! I couldn't believe that game went so long without anybody scoring! What a crazy Game!

What A Crazy Day In The Major Leagues!
What A Crazy Day In The Major Leagues!
Ubaldo Jimenez has thrown the first No-Hitter in the history of the Colorado Rockies!
Jimenez recorded the No-Hitter on the road at Turner Field in Atlanta!
During a No Hitter, It always seems like there is a Spectacular Defensive play to seal the No Hit Bid. Remember that spectacular catch Dewayne Wise made to Preserve Mark Buehrle's Perfect Game Bid?
Dexter Fowler made a sensational catch in Left Center Field in the Seventh Inning to Preserve The No Hitter. You Could See Jimenez mouth "Wow!" Wow Indeed, Ubaldo! Wow!
But Wait! There's More!
The Mets and Cardinals played in front of a National Television Audience Tonight. The Game went long into the night. For the first Eighteen Innings, the game remained a 0-0 Scoreless Tie!
In The Eighteenth inning, Tony La Russa had pinch hitters Felipe Lopez and Joe Mather pitch! He then moved pitcher Kyle Lohse into the outfield!
The Mets took a one-run lead on Jeff Francoeur's sacrifice fly off Joe Mather, who had walked two batters and hit another to load the bases. But Mather escaped from that jam, and Yadier Molina tied the game on a single to right off Francisco Rodriguez, who blew his first save opportunity of the season.
Jose Reyes, (0-7 on the night, who reached base on a walk from Joe Mather), scored on a sacrafice fly to right to score the 2nd run of the game, in the 20th Inning!
UnBelievable!!!!!
