Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Outlet Nike Shoes Uk . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. Wholesale Nike Shoes Uk . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1. AKRON, Ohio -- Matt Kuchar finished with a 12-foot birdie at the Bridgestone Invitational, which had no bearing on the outcome but still had a few ramifications.Kuchar tied for third, so that putt was worth an additional $249,250. It cost Jordan Spieth enough world ranking points that Dustin Johnson moved ahead of him to No. 2 by the slimmest of margins.And that birdie putt could send Kuchar to the Olympics.Whether he earns a spot in Rio de Janeiro is now out of Kuchars hands. The Americans are allowed the maximum four players because all of them are among the top 15 in the world ranking, and the birdie allowed him to move to No. 15. Still to be announced is which four Americans will go to Rio.Of the top four in the world ranking -- Johnson (2), Spieth (3), Bubba Watson (5) and Rickie Fowler (7) -- Watson is the only one who has said he is going. The biggest question marks of that group are Spieth and Fowler. Thats why Kuchars birdie putt was so important, because if two Americans choose not to go, those spots could end up going to Patrick Reed and Kuchar.Kuchar wants to play in the Olympics, though its still a long way off. Not only does he need at least two players to withdraw, he has to be sure he stays among the top 15 in the world ranking after this week.Olympic qualifying is based on the world ranking published next Monday, and that brings Phil Mickelson into the equation. Mickelson would have to finish alone in second at the Scottish Open -- he won the last time it was held at Castle Stuart -- to move ahead of Kuchar and be in position for any Olympic withdrawals. If Lefty were to win, he would have a mathematical chance to move ahead of Reed as the first U.S. alternate.J.B. Holmes, Shane Lowry and Chris Wood also are at Castle Stuart and could bump Kuchar from the top 15 if they were to win. A victory by Wood likely would be enough for him to reach No. 15 and give the U.K. three players.---HURLEY Game notes Billy Hurley III already delivered one of the most inspirational stories of the year when the former Naval officer won the Quicken Loans National at Congressional not far from his Virginia home, a tournament created to honor the military.Then, he chose to give up his spot in the British Open to honor a family commitment -- his sisters wedding.And it keeps getting better.For the last few years, PGA Tour rules officials and other key employees have been receiving handwritten notes from Hurley thanking them for their work.

Hurley goes beyond that.I write to the tournament director, the superintendent and title sponsors, at least at the tournaments Im playing, he said. And then the whole tour staff. Theres a lot of people that make this possible.Hurley doesnt know where he picked up this habit.I just think its the right thing to do, he said. They work hard for us. I dont know what their salaries are, but its not what ours are.---HOME SWEET HOME: Shane Lowry is playing the PGA Tour as a member for the first time this year, and what he hopes is many years to come.But he has no plans for moving his home base away from Ireland.
