rclaps and Rory McIlroy silencers, two days of enough Baba Booeys to last 10 lifetimes and two days of the United States team ha Antworten

CHASKA, Minn. -- After two days of emotionally charged matches, two days of mind-numbingly brilliant entertainment, two days of laser-beam approaches and clutch putts and even a few missed gimmes (sorry, Lee Westwood), two days of Patrick Reed thunderclaps and Rory McIlroy silencers, two days of enough Baba Booeys to last 10 lifetimes and two days of the United States team hanging on to a lead against Europe, the Ryder Cup will all come down to Sundays singles matches.How do we know? Heres a clue: because it always comes down to Sundays singles matches.Forget everything weve heard for the past two years about task forces. Forget all the conjecture over pairings and pods and sort-of-but-not-quite pods and personality profiling. The portion of the Ryder Cup that included high-fiving and fist-bumping and some cringe-worthy shimmy-shake thing (were looking at you, Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar) is over. That was just the appetizer.Now comes the fun part.If weve learned anything through recent history, its that racing to a Saturday evening lead is nice, but its hardly indicative of the eventual champion.With the U.S. up 9? to 6?, that differential is less than 1999, when the U.S. roared back to win at Brookline, and 2012, when Europe did the same at Medinah. Those are the big ones, the most historic ones, but others have proved equally unpredictable entering the final session.In 1995, the U.S. led by two; Europe wound up winning. In 1997, Europe led by five; it wound up holding on to win by a single point. In 2010, Europe led by three; it again held on to win by one point.Moral of the story? Anything can happen on a Sunday at the Ryder Cup. This one wont be any different.Each captain always has various ways to set the lineup. Frontload? Backload? Spread the stars among the batting order? At least right off the top, Team USAs Davis Love III and Team Europes Darren Clarke each clung to the same idea for the blind draw, which in turn has created one of the most anticipated singles matches in recent memory. Reed and McIlroy have each been their respective teams best player over the first two days, and theyll kick things off in what should be a knock-down, drag-out heavyweight title fight-type of match.Ive obviously been around a lot of teams that, no secret, they were going to load the boat, Love said after the matches were announced. So our problem, again, was we say, All right, were going to put the six guys out that are playing really well. Well, weve got 12 that are playing really well, so we didnt know what to do.Thats very diplomatic of the captain, but he did at least understand that of the 12 playing well, Reed is playing the best. Hes also a lightning rod to get the crowd pumped up and start some momentum. But perhaps the greatest reason for him batting leadoff is this: In the strategic game of poker that is setting lineups without knowing the other teams order, he read Clarkes raise of McIlroy and called with his own hottest player.If nothing else, the rest of the golf world thanks them for making this happen.From there, Clarke continued to frontload. He followed with perhaps his next-best performer so far in Henrik Stenson, then Thomas Pieters, Justin Rose, Rafa Cabrera-Bello and Sergio Garcia. If you wanted to know the six players who have played the best so far this week, you dont have to look past the first six on the singles list.Despite his claim that all 12 players are playing well, some of Loves roster is playing better than others. Though he led off with Reed, the U.S. skipper spread out some of his other studs, including Brandt Snedeker, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in the 8-10 spots, respectively.What will it all mean? Just as history has proven that the Ryder Cup aint over until its over, it also has shown us that there is no secret formula to producing a winning lineup.Perhaps Clarkes frontloading will lead to some early European momentum that carries into the later matches. Maybe it will backfire, with the Americans taking out the opponents best players, turning the remainder of the day into a coronation.The past two days have been a brilliant display of the most passionate golf youll ever see, but thats all just the opening act for Sunday. Bring on the main event. Cheap Stitched NBA Jerseys . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times. Cheap NBA Jerseys Free Shipping .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. http://www.cheapnbajerseysnike.com/ . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic . Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Fitz Magic fizzled, so its Geno Smiths turn -- again.The New York Jets will start Smith at quarterback Sunday against Baltimore at MetLife Stadium, sending Ryan Fitzpatrick and his one-year, $12 million contract to the sideline.I felt like it was time for a change, coach Todd Bowles said after practice Wednesday.At the NFL fall meetings in Houston, Jets owner Woody Johnson said it was Bowles call to go with Smith, with the Jets sinking at 1-5 and on a four-game losing streak. Bowles confirmed that it was strictly my call.I am behind the coach 100 percent, Johnson said. Our coach made the decision he felt needed to be made.Fitzpatrick has been a major reason for the Jets struggles, throwing an NFL-leading 11 interceptions and just five touchdown passes during a brutal start.I mean, I dont like it, Fitzpatrick said. Im disappointed that were making the change, but disappointed in my play this year, as well.The competitor in me really wants to be out there. The guy who was the leader of this team last year and the beginning of this year wants to be out there, but its a decision that Todd made. Ive got to respect his decision, but I dont have to like it.After the Jets lost 28-3 at Arizona on Monday night, Bowles said Fitzpatrick would remain the starter. He backtracked a bit Tuesday during a conference call , saying its always status quo right after games and he wanted to discuss things with his staff and general manager Mike Maccagnan that night. During those meetings, Bowles decided to go with Smith.Genos our starter right now, Bowles said. Well see how things go down the line.Bowles added that its possible the Jets could turn to Fitzpatrick again at some point.I can only go week to week, the coach said.Smith was the Jets starter last summer until his jaw was broken by a punch from then-teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali during training camp.I think the person who benefited the most from this last year and a half has been Geno, wide receiver Brandon Marshall said. Its been amazing to see this guy grow and really, you know, punch adversity in the face.Fitzpatrick took over last summer and went on to throw a franchise-record 31 touchdown passes and get within a win of the playoffs at 10-6.After garnering little interest in the free-agent market, Fitzpatrick re-signed with the Jets on the eve of training camp, a move most Jets players celebrated . Fitzpatrick has had a rough go of it this season, including a six-interception performance at Kansas City on Sept. 25, but still appeared to haave the support of most of his teammates.dddddddddddd.Marshall made that clear after 27-17 loss to Seattle in Week 4 when asked about the quarterback situation.I am. Going down. In a boat. With Ryan Fitzpatrick, Marshall said at the time.When asked about that comment Wednesday, Marshall smiled.In a boat, huh? he said. Boat down!New Yorks offensive woes were hard for Bowles to overlook. The Jets rank 26th overall and are last in the NFL in scoring with 15.8 points per game. Their red zone offense is also worst in the league, scoring eight touchdowns in 22 trips inside the opponents 20-yard line (36.4 percent).Smith tried to stay patient, but he told an ESPN reporter before the game Monday night that he was getting antsy while being stuck on the sideline as the team struggles.Now, Smith will have a chance to revive both his career and the Jets playoff hopes.Its not about me, Smith said. It never has been. Im going to go out there with my teammates and were all going to play hard and try to get a win.Smith last started in the 2014 season finale at Miami , where he threw for 358 yards and three touchdowns while compiling a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating in a 37-14 win.In his first game action since a mop-up appearance last November after Fitzpatrick hurt his left thumb, Smith replaced Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals and connected on his first four passes. On third-and-3 from the Cardinals 40, Smith fumbled as he was sacked, but the Jets recovered. He was intercepted by Tyrann Mathieu on the next play, the Jets final offensive possession.A second-round draft pick out of West Virginia in 2013, Smith started all but two games during his first two seasons. Smith showed momentary flashes but was largely inconsistent while throwing 25 TD passes and 34 interceptions in that span.He appeared to be settling into new offensive coordinator Chan Gaileys system, which seemed to suit his athletic style, last season. But then came the locker-room incident that threw his career into uncertainty and set in motion Fitzpatricks terrific season.Now, its back to Smith. At least, for now.Ive played before, Smith said. Its not going to be anything new to me, so Ive just got to go out there and take care of the football and make plays.---AP Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner in Houston contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
