Ryder Cup
“Colossal Collapse in Chicago”
–Johnny Miller
Yup, Johnny summed it up perfectly Sunday afternoon as the United States was on the verge of losing the Ryder Cup to Europe. Late Saturday, the U.S. had a seemingly insurmountable 10-4 lead, but in the final two fourball matches, Sergio Garcia and Luke Donald defeated Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker, and Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter bested Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson to cut it to 10-6 heading into the final 12 singles matches and thus give Europe life. In particular, Europe rode the emotions of Ian Poulter’s spectacular Saturday afternoon show as he birdied the last five holes.
But a 10-6 lead, especially at home in Medinah, Illinois, would be too much for the Euros to overcome, so us Americans thought. Then again, true golf fans know the U.S. is capable of some amazing choke jobs so heading into singles action we knew it was still up for grabs and sure enough, the Euros took charge immediately.
Captain Jose Maria Olazabal frontloaded his lineup.
Match 1. Luke Donald def. Bubba Watson
Match 2. Ian Poulter def. Webb Simpson
Match 3. Rory McIlroy def. Keegan Bradley
Match 4. Justin Rose def. Phil Mickelson
Match 5. Paul Lawie def. Brandt Snedeker
Dustin Johnson and Zach Johnson then won their matches over Colsaerts and McDowell, but it was too late as two of Davis Love’s captain’s picks, Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker, could not have choked worse.
Final score…Europe 14 ½ United States 13 ½
So some random thoughts, understanding I will have more the next two chats following my reading of all the opinion pieces and then my golf magazines as they roll in.
The legend of Ian Poulter was elevated another few notches following his spectacular 4-0 performance, bringing his overall Ryder Cup record to 12-3-0.
The vaunted partnership of Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker produced an 0-3 mark. Stricker missed every important short putt that is normally his specialty, while Woods only played well the entire weekend in brief stretches.
When it comes to Q-rating (or Q-score), Americans Keegan Bradley, Dustin and Zach Johnson, and Jason Dufner improved theirs with their efforts. Furyk’s and Stricker’s plummeted as they approach the twilight of their otherwise excellent careers. Furyk in particular will be a mess for a long, long time following his collapses this summer in the U.S. Open and the WGC event at Firestone and then this.
I can’t believe Graham McDowell conceded the last putt to Zach Johnson on Sunday.
For the Euros, Justin Rose’s Q-rating hit new highs.
Sergio Garcia may have resurrected his career the past few months, and while he’s an irritating guy it makes the sport more interesting.
I feel bad for Davis Love. He’ll take heat for the selection of Furyk above all others, but Davis is a good, quality guy. Here’s hoping he suddenly wins a tour event next year.
In the end, though, Captain Olazabal told his men on Saturday night, “I still believe.” The Euros then proved him right. Looking down on it all, Seve Ballesteros was pleased.
College Football Review
Well, let’s see how your editor started the last Bar Chat in terms of this weekend.
“Major yawner of a Saturday in college football. The best game might just be at noon, No. 25 Baylor vs. No. 9 West Virginia.
“Tennessee at No. 5 Georgia on at 3:30, but I just don’t think Tennessee will be in this one come fourth quarter.
“No. 12 Texas at Oklahoma State may be OK, but Texas is overrated.
“And the Saturday night game on ABC is Wisconsin at No. 22 Nebraska. Sorry, fans of these two, but this one looked much better before the season started than it does now.”
Hmmm…at least I had one thing right…Baylor at West Virginia was spectacular and I watched the entire shootout (with look-ins at the Ryder Cup) as Mountaineers quarterback Geno Smith wrapped up the Heisman Trophy early with one of the greatest performances in college football history in leading WVU to a 70-63 win.
Smith was 45 of 51 for 656 yards and eight touchdowns. It came out to a 248.0 quarterback rating! In fact his first four games this season look like this.
32-36…323…4 TD – 0 INT
34-39…411…5-0
30-43…338…3-0
45-51…656…8-0
His cumulative completion percentage is 83.4% with a 208.4 rating. As Ronald Reagan would have said, ‘Not bad, not bad at all.’
But Smith’s receivers were equally spectacular. Steadman Bailey had 13 receptions for 303 yards and five touchdowns. Tavon Austin, 14-205-2; the first pair of wide receivers with 200 yards in an FBS game since 2007. And teammate J.D. Woods added 13-114-1.
Steadman set the Big 12 record for yards receiving in a game; that is he held it for a few minutes before Baylor’s Terrance Williams ended up with 17 receptions of his own for 314 yards! Of course Williams had to have someone pretty good in his own right throwing the ball to him and that was Nick Florence, who was 29-47, 581, 5-1.
The 19 TDs between the two teams tied a FBS mark and Baylor tied the record for most points in a losing effort.
But here’s what I’ll remember aside from Smith’s spectacular play. The receivers on both teams made one superb catch after another. I don’t recall one drop (as opposed to all the drops we’ve seen out of Winston-Salem this year).
So after the WVU game, I watched the Ryder Cup and went to my brother’s for a burger and beer and more Ryder Cup action and when I returned home I was frantically switching back and forth between Nebraska-Wisconsin and Texas-Oklahoma State, two terrific games in their own right as it turned out, with Nebraska coming back from a 27-10 deficit at home to win 30-27, and Texas winning a thriller against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, 41-36, on a touchdown with 29 seconds left. Longhorn QB David Ash continued to shine as he’s one of the surprises of the early season.
But is there a more irritating announcer than Fox’s Gus Johnson?! Geezuz, not every single play deserves a Hindenburg disaster call! Then again, it’s in keeping with outrageous and zany Fox.
No. 4 Florida State was unimpressive in defeating South Florida 30-17; South Florida having nothing but some solid cheerleaders.
No. 5 Georgia held on in another shootout (I missed this one), 51-44 over Tennessee.
Cincinnati defeated Virginia Tech, 27-24, as the ACC continued to blow…
…As in Sun Belt Conference member Middle Tennessee State defeated Georgia Tech, 49-28! Heck, the Sun Belt Conference champion deserves a freakin’ BCS Bowl bid the way some of their members have played this year.
And Louisiana Tech went to 4-0 in defeating another ACC weakling, Virginia, in Charlottesville, 44-38.
No. 14 Ohio State defeated No. 20 Michigan State, 17-16, though no one cares about the Little Ten.
No. 17 Clemson defeated Boston College, 45-31, as Steve D. was in Beantown for parents’ weekend. [Just trying to improve Steve’s Q-Score.]
Miami, in another super exciting contest, defeated North Carolina State, 44-37, as Hurricanes QB Stephen Morris set an ACC record with 566 yards and five touchdowns, including the game-winner with 19 seconds left. And whose record did he surpass? Wake Forest QB Rusty LaRue’s mark…545 yards in a game back in 1995.
Speaking of Wake, Johnny Mac asked me after our game against Duke if the Deaconwear was back in the losers sports drawer following Wake’s disgusting 34-27 loss to Duke, the Blue Devils’ first win against the Deacs in 13 contests, and I said I angrily tossed it all into a back corner, not to be taken out again until next fall (or until the Deacs win a decent b-ball game this winter). Wake also lost its star receiver/kick returner Michael Campanaro, who suffered a broken hand. And what’s up with Tanner Price? The QB has regressed this year from what I’ve seen.
Oh well, there’s always Oregon football. The No. 2 Ducks rolled over Washington State, 51-26, despite another unspectacular performance out of De’Anthony Thomas (Kenjon Barner picked up the slack with 195 yards rushing), but the spread on the game was 30 ½…cough cough. Anyway, I’ll be donning Duckwear full time the rest of the way…
…But hedging with some Beaverwear, sports fans! Yes, the Oregon State Beavers continued to be the big surprise of the college football season in defeating Arizona in Tucson on a late score, 38-35.
And your new AP Poll…
1. Alabama 5-0
2. Oregon 5-0
3. Florida State 5-0
4. LSU 5-0
5. Georgia 5-0
6. South Carolina 5-0
7. Kansas State 4-0
8. West Virginia 4-0
9. Notre Dame 4-0
10. Florida 4-0
14. Oregon State 3-0
22. Rutgers 4-0
24. Northwestern 5-0
Before the Jets-Niners game, I put on some Jetswear as I went for a long run. Immediately I felt like crap and proceeded to struggle the whole way. I got home a few minutes before game time and collapsed at my desk here, as the Jets in the first contest of the post-Revis era laid a big time egg. Johnny Mac asked me at the half what I thought and I told him I slept through most of it. Too bad I then woke up for the rest, a 34-0 pasting as the Jets picked up 145 yards of total offense. Geno Smith had that many on two plays on Saturday. Mark Sanchez had another awful performance, 13-29, 103 yards, a 39.9 rating. After a solid opening effort, his last three have been abysmal. For those who still believe he can become a great one, you’re nuts. But he gets one last chance before Tim Tebow comes in, so says moi.
Arizona goes to 4-0 with a 24-21 over Miami (1-3)
Seattle (2-2) suffered a hangover against St. Louis (2-2) as Russell Wilson threw three picks. For the Rams, Wake Forest’s Chris Givens had one reception, but for 52 yards!!! [Us Wake alum have little else to cheer for these days.]
Atlanta advanced to 4-0 with a 30-28 over the Panthers (1-3).
Minnesota (3-1) defeated Detroit (1-3). I think most observers would have pegged the records to be the reverse after Week 4.
New England (2-2) was down to Buffalo (2-2) 21-7 in the third quarter and then proceeded to blow the Bills away, 52-28, as Brandon Bolden (137 yards) and Stevan Ridley (106) led the running attack while Tom Brady threw for three scores..
Houston moved to 4-0 with a 38-14 win over Tennessee (1-3).
Peyton Manning was 30-38, 338 and 3 TDs as Denver evened their record at 2-2 with a 37-6 win over Oakland (1-3).
And Green Bay (2-2) recovered from the Seattle debacle to hold on and defeat New Orleans, 28-27, as the 0-4 Saints wasted a 446-yard effort from Drew Brees.
For the archives, the NFL’s agreement with the referees is for eight years with the average salary rising to $173,000 in 2013 from $149,000 in 2011. Welcome back, men.

Oakland
*The above is prior to the second game of their doubleheader, Sunday night.
Atlanta (93-66) and St. Louis (86-73) are the two wild cards, though Los Angeles is technically two behind St. Louis at 84-75 with three to go.
—Miguel Cabrera and the triple crown.
Batting average…Cabrera .325; Joe Mauer .323
Home runs…Cabrera and Josh Hamilton tied at 43
RBI…Cabrera 136; Hamilton 126
–Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey threw baseball’s seventh no-hitter this season, tying the modern record for one year, established in 1990 and 1991, when he no-hit the Pirates, 1-0, striking out 10 and walking one. It was the first Reds no-hitter since Tom Browning’s perfect game in 1988, and the first time the Pirates had been no-hit since Bob Gibson threw a no-no against them in 1971.
The loss was also the Pirates’ 81st, and with No. 82 on Sunday, the Bucs extended their North American professional sports record of 20 consecutive losing seasons.
–Us Mets fans certainly hope that R.A. Dickey wrapped up the Cy Young Award by winning his 20th game on Thursday. At 37, Dickey became just the 3rd National League pitcher in the last 30 years to win 20 games on a losing squad. He is also the first Mets pitcher to win 20 since Frank Viola in 1990, and R.A. became the first knuckleballer to do it since Houston’s Joe Niekro back in 1980. He has one more start but here’s the latest tale of the tape.
R.A. 20-6, 2.69 ERA and a league-leading 222 strikeouts
Gio Gonzalez, 21-8, 2.89, but playing for a superior ballclub down in Washington.
No, I don’t put Johnny Cueto or Clayton Kershaw in the same category, as much as some others want to.
—Jered Weaver (20-4, 2.73) and David Price (20-5, 2.56) are the prime candidates for the A.L.’s Cy Young Award. It goes to Price.
–I’m disturbed by this whole Melky Cabrera deal and the batting title that he gave up. He’s a steroid cheat, but he’s going to finish with the best average. It should go to him with an asterisk, plain and simple. To give it to Buster Posey, now a clear second but with virtually zero chance to pass Cabrera, is stupid.
–With the home season over, here are the Mets’ attendance totals since they opened Citi Field.
2009…3.15 million
2010…2.56
2011…2.35
2012…2.19
–All kinds of rumors this weekend, as Atlanta honored the career of Chipper Jones, that the Mets’ David Wright will be his replacement. I just have a problem, as you are well aware by now, with giving Wright an 8-year, $20 million per contract which is what he’ll probably command. The Mets have an option on him for next season at $16 million but they have to decide this offseason whether to negotiate an extension and, if not, then trade him while he has maximum value.
–Atlanta hurler Kris Medlen became part of baseball history on Sunday as the Braves defeated the Mets. Atlanta has thus won the last 23 games in which Medlen has started, dating to 2010, a year in which he underwent reconstructive elbow surgery, as he then didn’t pitch again until last September. Medlen thus breaks the record of 22 held by Whitey Ford and Carl Hubbell, not bad company.
Atlanta started Medlen off in the bullpen this year, giving him his first start on July 31 and in the 12 starts since then he is 9-0 with the team going on to win the other three contests.
–Detroit’s Doug Fister is not a big strikeout pitcher but out of nowhere, on Thursday he set an American League record by fanning nine in a row as part of a 5-4 win over the Royals; one short of Tom Seaver’s MLB record 10 consecutive batters.
“For those aghast at underperforming athletes who continue collecting paychecks, you have a new hero: Tsuyoshi Nishioka.
“Nishioka, a middle infielder for the Minnesota Twins, asked for and received his unconditional release from the Twins on Friday.
“In so doing, he forfeited $3.25 million in salary that remained on his contract, ending a disastrous stint with the club after it signed him to a three-year, $9.25 million deal. The Twins also paid $5.3 million for the rights to negotiate with Nishioka.
“But his time in Minneapolis was grim. Nishioka suffered a broken leg in his sixth major league game. In two seasons, he hit .215 with no home runs and five extra-base hits in 254 at-bats.
“For that, he not only gave back money, but apologized, too.
“In a statement released by the Twins, Nishioka said, ‘I take full responsibility for my performance which was below my own expectations. At this time, I have made the decision that it is time to part ways. I have no regrets and know that only through struggle can a person grow stronger.’”
–The other day I noted that Fred Couples made it into the World Golf Hall of Fame with just 51% of the vote and I questioned whether he belonged, Freddie having won 15 PGA Tour events including his Masters’ triumph. Of course he does not deserve to be in the classic sense of the title Hall of Famer.
But when I made my first comments I hadn’t seen the actual voting, so consider that Davis Love III received 38%, yet Love won 20 times to go with his PGA Championship. Mark O’Meara received 36% yet won 16 times with two majors. Tom Weiskopf (16 and 1) and Corey Pavin (15 and 1) are no longer on the ballot.
So, yes, the whole thing is just stupid. I question whether any of the above should be in the Hall, though Love’s 20 figure should probably be a benchmark like 500 home runs used to be. [In fact, 37 have won 20 on the PGA Tour, while 25 have hit 500 homers.]
“Admitting someone with 15 PGA Tour victories and one major championship lowers the previous unwritten benchmark. Unfortunately, expect more lowering of standards, for this opens the door to players with questionable records. The line figures to dip, too, after Tiger Woods gets in after turning 40, for there aren’t many behind him with a pile of victories.
“If this continues, pretty soon Craig Stadler, with 13 victories and a major, will represent the new bar. Gatekeepers should remember this is not the Hall of Very Good….
“In supporting Couples, one respected journalist suggested it’s a Hall of Fame, not a Hall of Accomplishment. Yes, Couples has been a top attraction. But this is not a Hall of Famous, either. If it’s just about Q-rating, let’s induct John Daly and all head to the 19th hole.”
–One of auto racing’s greats, Chris Economaki, died at the age of 91 on Friday. While he got into a car at a racetrack just once in his life, Economaki was as important as anyone in popularizing the sport, especially in the 1960s when ABC hired him to become one of the first television commentators in the sport. Economaki then became the man in the pits, explaining what the mechanics and tire-changers were doing.
Economaki later reprised the role of go-to guy at CBS, ESPN and other networks. He was a fixture from Indy to NASCAR. As Mario Andretti said, “If he wasn’t aware of you, you simply were not a factor in the sport.”
I mean this is a guy who at the age of 17, hitchhiked from New Jersey to Indianapolis “with $15 in his pocket, spent a week watching races and returned with $3 in his pocket.” [Douglas Martin / New York Times]
A.J. Foyt said upon his passing, “Chris Economaki meant a whole lot to my career. He saw me when I first started, and he wrote, ‘You will read about this boy.’”
Economaki was a prolific writer and the editor of National Speed Sport News for 60 years.
Sprint Cup star Jeff Gordon said: “It’s a huge loss. Chris did a lot for that newspaper and for motor sports and he was passionate about all of it….It’s just not very often that you come across somebody that puts their heart and soul and entire life mission into that.”
NASCAR founder Bill France had a lot to do with Economaki’s career, asking him to announce a 1951 race at Daytona Beach (when they actually raced on it), which led to his job with ABC and the first Daytona 500 telecast a decade later.
And when Mark Donohue died in 1975, I told you how I went to his funeral here in Summit, New Jersey and Chris Economaki’s presence was as big as any of auto racing’s other royalty that paid their respects that day.
–Also in the sport of auto racing, Robert Newton, the founder of Hoosier Racing Tire, passed away. He was 85. Newton was a farmer in Indiana when he decided that the sport needed better tires than the crap he had observed. So he started his company in the 1950s and today it ships tires to more than 70 countries.
–One thing I haven’t been able to do in my two trips to Iowa the last few years was get to Dyersville, which isn’t close to Des Moines, to see the ball field featured “Field of Dreams.” For years there has been much discussion on what to do with it but now an agreement has been reached with local and state officials to preserve the original field and build two dozen new baseball and softball fields, plus an indoor center for youth baseball and softball teams, with the entire complex being called “All Star Ballpark Heaven.”
Sounds like heaven to me. In fact Wade Boggs made “a very significant investment and time commitment” to the project, according to the Dyersville city council.
And as reported by the New York Times’ Ken Belson, “Boggs said he backed the project so teams in the Midwest could train throughout the year closer to home and not have to travel to warmer states like California and Florida.
“ ‘My first thought was, How can something like this sustain itself in the Midwest? But the numbers prove that people throughout the Midwest are starving for facilities like this,’ said Boggs….
“ ‘Baseball is a year-round sport. You don’t play 20 games and think you’ll make it to the big leagues.”
–The Knicks appear on the verge of signing Rasheed Wallace, who hasn’t played since the 2010 NBA finals as a member of the Boston Celtics. Wallace, 38, would join Jason Kidd (39), Kurt Thomas (39…actually, turns 40 this week), and Marcus Camby (38).
–I see where Kansas head basketball coach Bill Self was given a new contract that will pay him $3.856 million annually through the 2021-22 season. Absurd, given all the funding issues in higher education. But we’ll never learn….
…Like in the state of Texas, where, as reported by Bloomberg Businessweek, nearly 100 high school stadiums have opened in the last five years. As in ten of them have 16,000 or more seats and more than 100 have video scoreboards, let alone the 500 with artificial turf. Of course this all costs a lot of money, money better spent on actual education.
–When I saw that Herbert Lom had died at the age of 95, I couldn’t help but smile. And that’s not a bad way to be remembered, I’m guessing. Lom was Charles Dreyfus, Inspector Clouseau’s boss in the “Pink Panther” movies. Lom and Peter Sellers were together from “A Shot in the Dark” in 1964 until Sellers’ death in 1980. Before getting the role, Lom appeared in flicks such as “Spartacus” and “El Cid.”
He was born Herbert Karel Angelo Kuchacevic ze Schluderpacheru in Prague in 1917, so it was no big surprise when he adopted a shorter stage name.
“Marine experts have slammed plans to kill sharks that pose a threat to WA (West Australia) beachgoers, saying it was a ‘knee-jerk reaction’ and there was no evidence it would make beaches safer.
“The West Australian government has announced it would spend almost 47m more on preventing shark attacks…
“Tim Nichol from the Conservation Council of WA said although he welcomed the increase in funding for combating shark attacks, killing them was not the answer.
“ ‘There is no evidence to suggest that killing sharks will make people any safer.
“ ‘This is putting a guilty tag on sharks when they are innocent.’”
The overreaction comes about because over the past 12 months there have been five shark fatalities in WA, vs. like 7 in the prior 100 years, or so the International Travel Cartel wants you to believe.
When reached by Bar Chat, the sharks responded by saying they would be stepping up their assault, enlisting the aid of sharks currently plying the East and South China Seas.
–Speaking of Australia, “A crocodile was found roaming free in the cargo hold of a Qantas plane last week, the airline has confirmed.
“The reptile was being transferred from Brisbane to Melbourne, but managed to escape from its container during the two-hour journey.”
He was captured without incident and is now being questioned by authorities, though the croc refuses to divulge how he pulled his Houdini stunt.
–And here’s yet another Aussie story, this one from Stephanie Gardiner of the Sydney Morning Herald.
“A single drop of venom from the inland taipan can kill 100 men and quickly cause paralysis and hemorrhaging, but a Hunter Valley teenager has survived a rare bite from the world’s most poisonous snake.
“Police are investigating how the 17-year-old came across the snake in Kurri Kurri, more than 1000km from its natural habitat in arid ground in the far west of NSW.”
The boy took himself to the emergency room with a bite on his left hand and the snake was also brought to the hospital where it was identified. Last I saw the boy was in serious condition “as the poison continues to wrack his body.”
An official at Taronga Zoo in Sydney (one of the best in the world) said a drop of venom can kill 250,000 mice.
“Effectively what it will do is it will start shutting down the function of messages going to your brain, to your vital organs, your lungs and your heart and even your muscles. So paralysis is usually what happens with the patient….It can kill someone within maybe 45 minutes.”
So I was reading an accompanying piece in the Herald on dangerous Aussie creatures and one is the “Blue ringed octopus,” found all around the Australian coastline.
“It has poison in its saliva, which moves through the body quickly and targets the nervous system. A large dose can lead to breathing problems within 10 minutes of a bite.” But the last death was in the 1970s…or so they say.
–I was watching CBS’ “Sunday Morning” and their tribute to Andy Williams and I had forgotten how he stood by his former wife, Claudine Longet, who was charged with fatally shooting skier Spider Sabich in Aspen, Colorado in 1976. Longet was eventually convicted of criminally negligent homicide, a misdemeanor, and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Williams said later, “I didn’t think I did anything special – I just did what I had to do. I was there to take care of my kids and make sure they were all right, and because I love my ex-wife. I wasn’t worried about my image. That was the last thing I cared about.” [Los Angeles Times]
Williams also recalled how he came to be associated with “Moon River” in a 1989 interview with the Chicago Tribune.
“I was having dinner with [songwriters] Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, who had just finished recording the movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s,’ with Audrey Hepburn singing ‘Moon River’ out on the balcony with a guitar.
“So Mancini and Mercer played this song for me, which I thought was great. But my record company was really into singles then, and they said: ‘I don’t think phrases like ‘my Huckleberry friend’ will make it with the kids – they won’t know what it means.’”
But four weeks before the 1962 Academy Awards program, Williams recalled, “I was invited to sing ‘Moon River’ on the Oscars show, and Columbia Records decided we ought to rush a ‘Moon River’ album into the stores, because that tune looked like a shoo-in for the ‘best song’ Oscar.
“So they quickly put out an album, had it in the stores on the day of the Oscars, and the next morning it sold 500,000 copies.”
Top 3 songs for the week 10/6/84: “Let’s Go Crazy” (Prince and the Revolution…can’t say I am a huge Prince fan…but he did some great songs and this one is aging well…) #2 “I Just Called To Say I Love You” (Stevie Wonder…as opposed to this one…total crapola that tarnishes his career…) #3 “Drive” (The Cars… whatever)…and…#4 “Missing You” (John Waite) #5 “She Bop” (Cyndi Lauper…losing interest rapidly on this whole week…) #6 “Hard Habit To Break” (Chicago…sucks …) #7 “The Glamorous Life” (Sheila E….little drummer girl…) #8 “Lucky Star” (Madonna…has a foul mouth…) #9 “The Warrior” (Scandal featuring Patty Smyth) #10 “Cover Me” (Bruce Springsteen…eh…)
