ATLANTA -- Bubba Watson is a two-time major champion who is ranked seventh in the world, and he finished ninth in the U. Courtney Lee Jersey .S. Ryder Cup standings, one place removed from an automatic spot.But captain Davis Love III didnt make Watson an at-large selection on Sept. 12, instead choosing?Rickie Fowler, J.B. Holmes and Matt Kuchar -- 10th, 11th and 12th in the standings -- with one more pick to go.That led to all kinds of conjecture that Watson was passed over due to various issues, perceived or otherwise, about his qualities as a teammate. A 2015 ESPN.com poll of 103 PGA Tour players -- in which Watson was named by the most players as the one theyd least like to help in a fight -- also fueled the argument.But without prompting, Brandt Snedeker stepped up to defend Watson on Wednesday.I dont know where everybody gets this idea that Bubba Watson is a bad teammate, said Snedeker, who along with Watson is competing in the 30-player Tour Championship this week at East Lake Golf Club. His is probably one of the best teammates you could possibly have. I want that out there for everybody to hear. Bubba Watson is a great teammate.So I dont know where everybody keeps making this diversion of the truth, making Bubba out to be this bad guy. He is a great teammate. He was unbelievable on Monday (when several players practiced together). Hes been unbelievable all year. And we would be lucky to have him on the team as a teammate, period, end of story.The story, of course, has yet to end. Love has one more pick on Sunday after the PGA Tours season-ending Tour Championship. Watson could very well be it. He won earlier this year at the Northern Trust Open. He tied for eighth at the Olympic Golf Tournament last month.But Love perhaps inadvertently fueled this thinking when he didnt say Watsons name last week in announcing his first three picks and seemed to give little indication that Watson was being considered, suggesting that Love had not even called him.It doesnt help Watsons cause that he is 3-8 in three Ryder Cup appearances, including 0-3 in singles. Hes never won a foursomes match (alternate shot.) Hes also 0-1-1 in singles at the Presidents Cup.But Watson was invited to a practice session on Monday at Hazeltine National, along with other potential picks Justin Thomas and Daniel Berger, who are also in the Tour Championship field. They joined Snedeker, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson and others in getting a look at next weeks Ryder Cup venue.Snedeker acknowledged that Love has a tough, tough decision. We were sitting around, a few of us talking about it last night, and we were all scratching our heads thinking theres so many different ways he could go.Love is scheduled to make his final pick Sunday night, and the team meets for the first time at Hazeltine on Monday.

Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. http:///...y-basketball-jersey/ . To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans. BEREA, Ohio -- Robert Griffin III healed much faster than doctors thought.Now, if he can just mend the 0-12 Browns.Told earlier this season that it was highly unlikely he would be able to play again in 2016 after breaking a bone in his left shoulder late in the Sept. 11 opener at Philadelphia, Griffin practiced Monday as the winless Browns returned from their bye and he could start Sunday when they host the Cincinnati Bengals.Its all falling the right way for me, RG3 said.But while Griffin believes hes ready to return to the field, Browns coach Hue Jackson, who has been forced to shuffle quarterbacks in and out of his lineup all season because of injuries, isnt quite set to put him back behind center.It is too soon, said Jackson, who has Griffin, Josh McCown and rookie Cody Kessler all at his disposal for the first time since Week 1. I will let you know that. We were out there for an hour so we were just knocking off the rust from being gone. We have to get game preparations this week, and I will know more then.Griffin is staying patient. But after being unable to help his teammates during the worst stretch in franchise history, its understandable that hes eager to learn his fate.Coach could wait until Sunday, Griffin said. Thats why hes got the HC on his hat and we all trust him in this locker room. I trust him, and its just a matter of do they feel Im ready to play or do they feel like I need to take some more time. So whatever their decision is, Ill be OK with it because Im here to be a Cleveland Brown.Im here to help this team, not just these last four weeks but into the future. At least thats my hope and my wish, so I just want to have an opportunity to go out there and put it on the line for my team.Jackson said there are several factors to consider before playing Griffin, including the fact that the Browns have given up a league-high 45 sacks. Cleveland has lost two starting guards to foot injuries and struggled to protect the quarterback.Griffin said hes not unnerved about playing behind an injury-ravaged line.Because I know those guys up front are fighting their tails off and its not just on theem, its on all of us, he said. Lance Stephenson Jersey. We gotta just execute better, get guys in the right spots, make the right calls. Its a team effort. Its not about one guy or two guys or a unit, its all of us together and weve got to make sure that we do a better job.Griffin revealed that doctors werent convinced hed be back this season, but he made it.Its just the best-case scenario happened, he said.Not only did Griffins injury derail his comeback season and raise more questions about the QBs durability, it sent the Browns into a tailspin that hasnt stopped.With dozens of inexperienced players, this figured to be a rough season for Cleveland, but its been much worse and could finish with the Browns becoming the second team in NFL history to go 0-16.While recovering, Griffin stayed engaged in team activities, attending meetings and helping with game plans. He and his teammates have allowed themselves to think about how things could have been different if he didnt get hurt.No doubt, he said. Ive gotten that from a lot of guys in the locker room and coaches, too, just the possibility of what could have been. But right now weve got four weeks ahead of us with an opportunity to do something about it. Cincinnati is the first team up to bat, and they could be the only team. I dont know. The world could end tomorrow.So weve just got to take it one day at a time and try to make sure you do all the things that you can to put your best foot forward. Other than that, its been a tough time, been a tough year for this team, but these guys are tough. This is a really tough group and theyve stuck together. So Im proud to be a part of that.Game notes Jackson said rookie starting safety Derrick Kindred has a foot issue....
