T1B

This is my favorite event in all sports. I am a huge NFL fan and a Broncos season ticket holder (through family) since the 60s, but if the Super Bowl and Ryder Cup singles were played on the same day at the same time, I would DVR the former.*

• The Tour Championship this week provides a good preview. Th/Fr matchups include Woods/McIlroy, D. Johnson/Westwood, Bubba/Sergio and Kuchar/Donald.
  
  Europe is certainly the paper tiger, with 3 of the top 4 OWGR and the unquestioned #1 in Rory.
  
  The Chicago crowd at Medinah will be unreal. Best pro-USA crowd since The Country Club in '99.
  
  Loving 75% of the USA Ryder Cup rooks - Dufner and Bradley are unflappable and Snedeker is a putting machine. DL3 needs to hide Webb - he is not on form.
  
  The captains, the pairings, the gamesmanship, the tweets, national pride. Awesome.

So excited.

I love pools, but the only one I've come up with for the Ryder Cup is a pick [x] players and then tally their overall points. If anybody has a better idea, please advise.

WAR U S motherfucking A.


*(unless the Donks were playing, in which case I would drink myself into a deep sleep in my Haven Moses jersey before either event commenced).

I believe there should be more captain's picks. As one knows, tournaments are mostly won by players in the midst of a run/groove. A quick glance at some U.S. team players - Stricker, Watson, Simpson - haven't done anything for awhile - Simpson could be argued since he won the major....but all in all, it does look like a formidable U.S. team.

agreed, there is no equal to the Ryder cup

I will be taking Friday off to watch from the comfort of my couch.

I'll take Keegs and Taryn in the bar brawl, please, with a deanb parlay.

Oh, shit.

Hey dude.

Just saw that there was a golf forum. Sorry - could somebody move this thread over there please?

And greetings and salutations to old friends.

Log into the Golf Forum monday morning, so you can get your official FedEx Cup picks in.
