U.S. captain Fred Couples says Tiger Woods is going to have to play more tournaments before he gets to Australia to be part of the Presidents Cup team.
Woods missed the cut in the PGA Championship and did not qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. That means he is ineligible for any PGA Tour competition for the next six weeks.
Couples announces his two captain's picks on Sept. 26 after the Tour Championship, and he has said he intends to take Woods. But he said Wednesday at the Senior Players Championship that Woods just can't show up in Australia a week before the matches.
Woods could still add Fall Series event or play other tours around the world. Couples says he is talking to Woods' agent about options.

Has Baseball Overlooked Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel?
Charlie Manuel has been the Philadelphia Phillies manager for seven years now.� With four years straight of playoff appearances, two NL Pennants, and a World Series, Manuel has never received the NL Coach of the Year Award.� The players love Charlie Manuel and although it took a while, Philly loves him just as much, save for Tuesday night?s game.� So, when will the time come for Manuel to win the award?
The time is now.� Usually the coach of the year award is given to managers who turn a terrible team into a playoff contender.� These coaches tend to be great for just one year.� Fortunately, the Phillies are one of the best teams in baseball, and they have been for quite some time now.� Still, Manuel has never received this award.� Why not?� Charlie Manuel might possibly be managing the team with�the best record in baseball for not only this year, but last year as well.� Two straight years of having the best team in baseball.� And he?s led the Phillies to being a winning team y...

Carson Palmer Thinks the Bengals are Screwing with Brother, Jordan
This post is brought to you by the Office of the NFL Commissioner. Roger Goodell is apparently not satisfied with being the judge, jury and executioner of just the NFL. Today, after making him eligible for the Supplemental Draft, the NFL basically suspended Terrelle Pryor for the first 5 games of the season, the same punishment he had at Ohio St. for the upcoming season. What did Pryor do to warrant a suspension from the NFL?
Mike Florio, of Pro Football Talk, is reporting that former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, Carson Palmer, thinks his former team plans to screw over his younger brother Jordan. You remember Carson. He demanded a trade from the Bengals or he was going to retire. Bengals owner, Mike Brown, did something to the effect of pounding his fist on the table and exclaiming that his players aren?t going to make him do anything. There?s no NFL owner better at not doing anything that Mike Brown. Remember when Ochocinco wanted out of town and the Redskins offere...

Patriots vs Bucs: Why LeGarrette Blount Needs to Play Entire 1st Quarter
The Tampa Bay Bucs are young, dumb and ready to run.
The team with the moto ?young and hungry? or ?youn-gry? has got youth all over the place. 74 of the 90 players in camp have three years of experience or less.
One of those players is LeGarrette Blount, the second year running back out of Oregon. He burst out onto the scene with Tampa Bay and ended up being one of the best backs in the league over the second half of the season.
In 13 games he ran 201 times for 1,007 yards and six TDs. He averaged 5.0 yards per carry?an absurd amount for a bigger back that clocks in at 6-0 and 250-pounds.
Yet he still is extremely young, as are the majority of players around him. The Bucs need to give him a steady dose of reps in the first quarter to ensure the team builds some sort of consistency heading into a season that is right around the corner.
Last week against the Chiefs, Blount ran the ball five times for 18 yards in the Bucs 25-0 win. That is not enough of a workload for a guy that is going to be the undisputed No. 1 back. He is projected to carry the ball around 20-25 a games and getting more reps in before the season starts is very important.
Putting the young Bucs against a very cerebral minded team like the Pats will allow the entire unit to get an idea of how to run an offense despite dealing with so much chaos and adjustments on the field.
Obviously the Buccaneers want to avoid injury at all cost and shouldn?t play him too much, but I think it?s reasonable to say Blount could use an entire quarter of reps.
The injury risk is not as great with the tank of a back and right now the more game experience the better for this emerging star.
The Bucs need to be off to the races on Thursday.

Ex-Cap Matt Bradley Goes on Air, Calls Out Caps Culture
Matt Bradley is now a Florida Panther, but yesterday he went on sports radio in Ottawa and reflected rather thoughtfully, and rather provocatively, on his time in Washington, and most especially with respect to reasons why the Caps may have come up short each and every spring. The nearly 20-minute interview on the Team 1200 can be listened to in its entirety via an upload on 1200?s Facebook page. (Be warned ? if you attempt to access the segment via 1200?s web site, not only will you be directed to the Facebook page but you?ll first encounter a promotion for a Pierre McGuire podcast.)
Brads, it seemed to us, didn?t come across as a recently departed player with any axe to grind. Instead, he seemed comfortable and content with his new place of employment and sufficiently distanced from D.C. to bring reasonable objectivity to his reflections. In the middle of last season this blog� identified what it considered to be grave issues with the culture of the ...
