Not so valuable was recent success. He left out Chris Kirk, who finished higher in the final Ryder Cup standings than Simpson, and who won the Deutsche Bank Championship a day earlier by going head-to-head with Rory McIlroy the final 36 holes. “That was a snapshot,” Watson said of his decision not to take Kirk. The other two choices were not surprising. Even though Bradley has not won a tournament in two years and missed out by three spots qualifying on his own, he has raw power suited for this event and won all three matches in a partnership with Phil Mickelson two years ago at Medinah....

The American lasted just three months at the helm of the Premier League club, but saw his tenure abruptly ended after a poor run of results saw the club sink into a relegation battle. Meet Arsenal’s first January signing Bradley has been replaced by Paul Clement at the Liberty Stadium, but believes that the owners are not doing enough to help the club get out of its current predicament....

USA 80/1 to win World Cup Called in as one of six replacements for the U.S. after the group stage, Bradley went the full 90 minutes in central midfield in all three knockout round matches as the Americans claimed their sixth Gold Cup title. Blake was named the tournament’s top goalkeeper after allowing just two goals in six games, though he had to exit early in Jamaica’s 2-1 loss to the U....

Former Italian prime minister Bettino Craxi, 65, was his country’s longest-serving postwar leader, holding office from 1983 until 1987. But his life ended in self-imposed exile in Tunisia, where he fled to avoid a prison term for corruption six years ago.

Brandon Belt suffered a broken left thumb in a 6-2 win against the Rockies on Sunday, with an X-ray on Monday confirming the injury, according to the team. The Giants said Belt will meet with doctors to determine a recovery plan, and a timetable for his return is unknown. FAGAN: Dodgers’ Max Scherzer could top list as best midseason pitching acquisition of all time The loss of Belt is a major one to a team that entered Tuesday just two games up on the Dodgers for the top spot in the NL West....

The Saints cornerback leads the league with 21 penalties this season, and he continued his poor play against the Panthers in his team’s loss on Sunday. He even got into a shouting match with New Orleans defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. All of this evidence helped CBS analyst Shannon Sharpe make a ruling. The Saints need to let Browner go.

Your practitioner may also refer you to physical therapy to help manage the symptoms of BPPV. You may be prescribed balance exercises and habituation exercises to help treat your BPPV. The Brandt-Daroff exercises also can be a useful tool in the self-care program for vertigo. Brandt-Daroff exercises are used to help accommodate your brain to the changes that have occurred when your BPPV first started. These exercises are not used to return crystals to their proper place in your inner ear (that’s what the Epley maneuver is for)....

Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the most popular entries in the Final Fantasy series, especially as a spin-off title. Bravely Default 2 is deeply inspired by classic Final Fantasy games and Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the more evident influences on the Job system. Many of the Jobs included like the Black Mage, Thief, and Monk are pulled almost directly from Final Fantasy Tactics. Others like the Freelancer and Hunter are adaptations of archetypes present in Final Fantasy Tactics and other Final Fantasy games....

Varvaro still has a year to go before he is eligible for salary arbitration. He pitched 54 2/3 innings for the Braves this year, posting a 2.63 ERA with 50 strikeouts and 13 walks. Relief pitchers are notoriously inconsistent, but Varvaro also had a pretty good 2013, then improved both his walk and strikeout rates in 2014. He is a cheap, 30-year-old right-hander under team control. In exchange for Varvaro, the Braves got a pitcher in Kurcz who may turn out to be a new version of Varvaro down the road, if he makes it to the majors....

And yet, here we are, four games deep into the NL postseason, and the Braves are 4-0 with three shutout victories. Maybe those fears were unfounded? Let’s not jump to that conclusion just yet. Those first four games were started by the only two pitchers anyone in Atlanta would classify as “reliable” — Max Fried and Ian Anderson. Fried had a 2.25 ERA in his 11 starts during the regular season and Anderson had a 1....

With Hart accepting the newly created title, the Braves no longer are looking for a general manager. Hart became interim general manager Sept. 22. The team had sought a full-time replacement for Frank Wren, who was fired last month after a disappointing finish this season. Team President John Schuerholz announced Thursday that the 66-year-old Hart has agreed to a three-year contract that will last through the team’s first season at its new stadium in Cobb County....

That’s the tell-all revelation for Braxton Miller after the first day of practice for Ohio State’s football team. Miller no longer wears a black No. 5 quarterback jersey at practice. He has switched to a scarlet No. 1. He ran routes against former Buckeyes receiver Joey Galloway on ESPN before practice.

Roberto Firmino and Casemiro scored in the final 20 minutes of the game to cancel out Luis Diaz’s early opener for Colombia and continue Brazil’s winning run in the competition. Earlier, Los Cafeteros took a shock lead just ten minutes into the game when Diaz converted a perfectly-weighted free-kick from Juan Cuadrado. Just when it seemed like they were headed for a repeat of the 2015 Copa America result when Brazil lost 0-1 to Colombia, Firmino headed home in the 78th minute to restore parity....

Perhaps it was the fact that Calheiros was rescued by a less than convincing 40-to-35 vote margin, with six key abstentions, after a closed-door session. Or it might have been the army of heavies with stun guns deployed to safeguard the Senate chambers from prying eyes. Whatever the reason, the backlash suggests that Latin America’s biggest and perhaps unruliest country will no longer turn the other cheek to official misdeeds....

Sergio Serra quit because of what the club said were “aggressions suffered in the presence of his family.” “One of them, his face covered with a shirt said, ‘I know where you live. If Paysandu go down to the Serie C I’ll end you, and your wife and that crazy son,’” Serra wrote, adding that one of his sons is autistic. “My brother was very shaken and took the only decision possible under the circumstances, to resign....
