Europes new Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn says the teams selection criteria for the 2018 contest in France will be reviewed, after Paul Casey was left ineligible for Septembers heavy defeat to the USA at Hazeltine.Europe went into the 2016 Ryder Cup without Casey, because the in-form Englishman had not taken up his membership of the European Tour.The USA pulled off a crushing 17-11 win, subjecting Europe to their first defeat since 2008 and their heaviest since 1981.Bjorn confirmed Ryder Cup bosses will now conduct a full-scale review into selection policy and other areas of planning, but insisted it was too early to discuss details.Asked if the review of selection criteria will balance continuity with the desire to have the best players available, Bjorn said: Absolutely, but theres a lot of nuances into this, and they all need to be looked at.Yes selection will be reviewed, and it should be, because the world and the game of golf is a moving thing. But were in no immediate rush and no panic to do it.Well look at it carefully. We might stay where we are but we might also come up with a few tweaks. Almost the biggest task at hand at the moment is not to get too panicked about not having the trophy on this side of the Atlantic at the moment.Theres so many aspects but at this moment in time Im just trying to gather all the information to set out a plan going forward.I will go forward with what our players want and what were all about as a team. But then I also have my own thinking and concerns about what I can bring to it, and will give it my own twist.Weve been very successful in the past, and lets not go away from that. Weve won eight out of the last 11, its not like we have a system thats faulty and we always play against a very strong team.Bjorn also insists he does not need to change his forthright personality to lead Europe to Ryder Cup glory two years time.The ever-candid Bjorn hit out at then-captain Ian Woosnam in 2006 when overlooked for a wild-card, and the Welshman nearly quit his role over the criticism.Woosnam has immediately backed Bjorns leadership this week, however -- and Bjorn insists his captaincy will be based entirely on truth and honesty.I think if youre going to lead something you want the truth, you want people to be honest with you, Bjorn said.Ive never been one for liking having things around me where people are trying to just say yes to me. I want them to tell me the truth.I think if youre going to be forthright yourself, then you want the same from everyone else. Thats the way I believe in things, and thats what I expect for all the people I have around me.Fiery Dane Bjorn branded Woosnam the most pathetic captain Ive ever seen, barmy, and not burdened with too many leadership qualities when overlooked for the 2006 team.Woosnam met Bjorns appointment as Ryder Cup captain this week by throwing his full weight of support behind the 15-time European Tour winner. And Bjorn believes that underscores the value that a frank and open approach can add to his captaincy role.Its fantastic to have his support, said Bjorn of Woosnam. Im grateful for all the past captains and the support Ive had from them, and its nice for Ian to come out and be so supportive.But sportspeople have a way of probably putting things to bed a lot sooner than other people do.Its a long time ago, so we go forward and we understand that this is about Europe, and the European team. So we go forward and we all get behind those 12 players that need to play, and thats a good thing. Cheap Hockey Jerseys China .

Wholesale Hockey Jerseys .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. Four All-Stars, two MVPs, a whole new Splash Family in Golden State.Kevin Durants decision to join the Warriors on Monday sent tremors through the NBA, and players and executives throughout the league immediately started to contemplate how the newest super team would alter the landscape.Thats crazy!!!! KD in GSW???? Wizards center Marcin Gortat tweeted. (Are) they gonna score 200 points a game?The Warriors already were a super team before one of the leagues most unstoppable scorers decided to leave Oklahoma City for the Bay Area. Golden State won the championship in 2015, rolled to a regular-season record 73 victories last season and came within one game of back-to-back titles when they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers Game 7 of the NBA Finals.Now they have added the player who nearly eliminated them a round earlier.Though not everyone is anointing them next years champions.Everyone is so hyped up on the matchup problems on the offensive end? They still gotta come down the other end, Pistons All-Star center Andre Drummond tweeted. Not a very big team.Durants decision immediately rekindled the discussion about stars leaving teams to chase a championship elsewhere. Durant spent his first nine seasons in Oklahoma City.While there, he helped lead the Thunder to the Western Conference finals four times and to the NBA Finals in 2012, where they lost to the Heat, another super team formed when LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami.Durant himself spoke out negatively about creating super teams when James made his decision in 2010.But after the Thunder could never get to the top of the mountain with Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka -- and even though they had the Warriors down 3-1 in the conference finals -- Durant opted to head west.If you cant beat um, join um, Clippers forward Paul Pierce tweeted to tweak Durant.When James left Cleveland for Miami, stars such as Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson were critical of the decision to join forces with players he had competed against.Theres no way, with hindsight, I wouldve ever called up Larry (Bird), called up Magic and said, `Hey, look, lets get together and play on one team, Jordan said in 2010. But thats ... things are different. I cant say thats a bad thing. Its an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys.Denver Nuggets forward Jusuf Nurkic was equally puzzled by Durants decision.Somebody beat you! And you go there... ? Nurkic tweeted. Superstar not doing that man.While Durant has never been too concerned by outside opinions, his decision may also have ramifications on the NBAs collective bargaining negotiations.During the last lockout, the owners pushed to make changes to the aagreement so that teams, especially those in smaller markets, would have a bigger advantage in retaining players.ddddddddddddCommissioner Adam Silver has said in the past that those changes were effective, but the influx of new money into the system this summer from the leagues new $24 billion television contract, and Stephen Currys bargain contract that was negotiated when he was struggling with ankle injuries, conspired to give the Warriors enough wiggle room to spend $54 million on Durant.The league and the players union can opt out of the current CBA this year, and both sides have been negotiating to try to avoid another work stoppage.One of the biggest talking points Silver has been making over the past six months is the leagues continued push for more parity.The intention wasnt that in this system that teams could sign, without going above the tax, that many max player contracts and that many All-Stars, Silver said during All-Star weekend in Toronto.So if you ask me from a league standpoint, we would prefer that our All-Stars be distributed around the league rather than having so many All-Stars in one market. But well see what happens this summer.The summer is here, and so are the Warriors, who still have work to do.The Heat went 2-2 in the finals during the James, Wade and Bosh era, including a loss to the underdog Dallas Mavericks in their first season together. When James went back to Cleveland to team up with Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers lost in the finals their first year before winning this season.And everyone remembers the Los Angeles Lakers falling short both in 2003-04 -- when Gary Payton and Karl Malone joined Kobe Bryant and Shaquille ONeal to chase a title -- and even more spectacularly in 2012-13 when Dwight Howard and Steve Nash came to town.This time appears to be different, with all four of Golden States All-Stars aged 28 or younger and squarely in their prime.Only problem theres only 1 ball, Jazz center Rudy Gobert tweeted.And only so much money, as odd as that sounds this summer.So the Warriors have agreed to trade Andrew Bogut and will likely have to jettison Harrison Barnes -- two important cogs for them the past two seasons -- and will rely on several minimum salary veterans to fill out the roster for depth.They will also face a crush of attention and many hoping they fail.Warriors forward Draymond Green no doubt understands this, and got straight to the point with Durant in his first message to him on Twitter:Block out the noise.---This story has been corrected to show that Durant helped the Thunder to four Western Conference finals.
