DUBLIN, OHIO – It was his year-long goal to make the team and now that hes here
and wearing the International colours, Graham DeLaet looks positively giddy.
Zdeno Chara Jersey . As he toured around
Muirfield Village on Tuesday, DeLaet was all smiles, drinking in the atmosphere
and getting to know his teammates that much better. "Its been so much fun," he
said after his round. "Its exceeded everything and its only Tuesday. Just
getting together [Monday] night, we had a great time. Its going to be an amazing
week. Obviously its going to be a hell of a lot better if we win." DeLaet is
watching and learning and trying to feel the camaraderie. Hes been playing table
tennis in the team room, watching a little football with the boys and unwrapping
all the swag that comes with a spot on the team. "Its been cool," he said. "My
wife has gotten more free stuff than I have, so she is really excited." DeLaet
said his wife received some Lululemon workout clothes, Hunter boots and "a lot
more stuff that I dont really know what it is. But shes excited about it." If
the timing works, DeLaet said hed also try to expose some of his teammates to a
great Canadian pastime, NHL hockey. The Columbus Blue Jackets play the Calgary
Flames – DeLaets team – here Friday night and it appears a group might head into
town to catch some of the action. However, first and foremost this week is golf
and DeLaet will be counted on to help the Rest Of The Worlders try to end this
stretch of losing to the Yanks. He arrived at the Jack Nicklaus course at the
end of a long and successful season that saw him shoot up the Official World
Golf Ranking from 178th at the start of the year to 32nd. With great
ball-striking and tremendous accuracy, hes rightfully earned his spot among the
games best. Even though his shots seemed a little loose on the course Tuesday –
he attributed that to his timing being off after a travel day – he was still
impressive to his captain, Nick Price. "Hes probably rounded off a few of the
rough edges that he had in the first couple of years as a professional," Price
said. "Hes learned how to play the game, and he plays it so beautifully. I mean,
hes a great driver of the ball, great ball striker. So it was easy to find him
someone to play with to be honest. Its great, we really needed a Canadian on the
team, too." On Tuesday, DeLaet was in a group with Jason Day, Charl Schwartzel
and Louis Oosthuizen. With the two South Africans almost joined at the hip,
expect to see a team of Day and DeLaet at some point. "Theres nothing set in
stone," the Canadian said. "You know, the captain put these together for us to
play together and see how everyone gelled." Price has polled his players, asking
whom they wanted to play with and said he has a pretty good idea of his lineup
that will start Thursday. Hes hoping it will be one that can stop the
International slide in this event thats turned it into a bit of a snooze-fest,
compared to the tension-filled drama of the Ryder Cup. For now, the
Internationals are talking a good game and perhaps fueled by the naivety of the
seven rookies, filled with bravado. "I think guys have confidence," DeLaet said
of his side. "You have to. To come in here and not believe in yourselves, I
mean, you have no chance of winning. Were all playing with confidence and
speaking confidently every time. We have got each others back."
Johnny Bucyk Bruins Jersey . The 18th player
to shoot 60 on the tour, Jamieson settled for par on the final hole when his
15-foot birdie chip grazed the edge of the hole and stayed out. After opening
with rounds of 66 and 73 to make the cut by a stroke, he had 11 birdies in the
bogey-free round.
Torey Krug Bruins Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled
out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all
signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after
two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that
comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions,
fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a
kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

. Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period
against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head
injury.DAVIE, Fla. - Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill says he read only
few pages of the investigative report on the teams bullying scandal, but hes
confident the necessary changes will be made to ensure a healthy locker room
environment. Tannehill, a starter since the first game of his rookie season in
2012, said hes ready to help by taking on more leadership. Speaking Monday at a
celebrity golf tournament organized by former Dolphins star Jason Taylor,
Tannehill made his first public comments regarding the 144-page report released
Feb. 14. Investigators found that guard Richie Incognito and two other offensive
linemen engaged in persistent harassment directed at tackle Jonathan Martin,
another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer. "I saw a few pages of it,"
Tannehill said. "I got overwhelmed by 140-and-whatever pages and skipped it. Im
just glad its out. The evaluations and summaries have been made, the points have
been taken and now we can move forward. Theres no more being anxious about it
coming out. Weve had the consequences and repercussions, and now we can put it
in the past and move forward." The Dolphins fired offensive line coach Jim
Turner and longtime head athletic trainer Kevin ONeill for their roles in the
scandal, and coach Joe Philbin pledged to improve the workplace culture. NFL
punishment of players who engaged in harassment may be forthcoming in the form
oof fines, suspensions or both.
Cam Neely Bruins Jersey. Tannehill could find
him playing behind an entirely new line to start the 2014 season. Even so, he
considers fallout from the scandal in the past. "I think its behind us at this
point," he said. "Obviously well try to learn from it and correct things Coach
Philbin and the coaching staff feel need to be changed. We want to have a
healthy locker room." Tannehill was a member of the teams leadership council
last season, but at 25, he said hes still growing into the role of a leader.
"You definitely get more comfortable speaking up at certain times," he said.
"You have the respect. Thats the big thing — having the other guys respect in
the locker room. You cant come in with no respect and try to own the place. At
this point hopefully I have some respect in the locker room, and now I can
assert myself." Taylor is part of an advisory group formed last fall by team
owner Stephen Ross that also includes Tony Dungy, Don Shula, Dan Marino and
Curtis Martin. The group, which has yet to meet, will review organizational
conduct policies and make recommendations on areas for improvement. "We have all
seen the report," Taylor said. "We know what it says. In the coming days and
weeks we will have a discussion about it, and that discussion will stay between
me, Mr. Ross and the other members of the committee."
