    Lehman didn't win the PGA.

    Dispassionate Davis Love as captain of the Ryder Cup team? I just don't see it.

    No way... he's pissed off too many people on the tour... the only excitement he generates is a desire to leave the room...

    That comment by Miller was bizarre. Ben Crenshaw, Tom Lehman and Tom Kite didn't win the PGA. I don't know what difference that would make in picking a captain.

    Me neither.

    You can't pick a guy as the captain when he's never played in the Ryder Cup. And do you want that loose cannon anywhere near responsibility?

    It's a fair bet there won't be a repeat of Zinger. Payne Stewart's death kind of threw the rotation out of whack. O'Meara might have to soothe a lot of feelings within the PGA of America for being the instigator in the 1999 "We want to get paid" fiasco (people who think Tiger and Duval led that charge are wrong ... it was O'Meara, getting in Tiger's ear). Pavin's got a chance. Love still thinks he can make another team as a player.

    I'd give Pavin the slight nod over O'Meara. They'll pick one before Halloween.

    But don't they tend to gravitate toward guys who are still active on the PGA Tour, which O'Meara isn't?

    If we need to raise money to make Daly the captain I will gladly chuck in a $50.

    Daly and Monty as captains would be the best thing that has ever happened to this event.

    Imagine Americans and Euros tied with three singles remaining and they are all squared at the end of the back 9. Daly will go through about 20 packs of cigarettes in an hour.

    The Human Train Wreck was added to the list just for you!

    John Daly, captain of the 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup team, sponsored by Hooters.

    The man would never leave the beer tent, ever.

    John Daly has a better chance of going sober the rest of his life than coming anywhere near a Ryder Cup.
