he better hope he qualifies for subsequent ryder cups because it would be tough to take him as a captain's pick
he's not a team guy

This. He's never been a team guy, and I think that sentiment is well known. He seems to be able to get behind this event as an American and rally behind that, thus being okay with the team environment and his ultra competitiveness. I think he was stupid to make those comments for the aforementioned reason, even if there was truth to it that the decisions may have been controlled by the Jupiter clique.

Love the comments. The guy is just a content machine, churning out things to talk about 24/7.
And yeah, this probably puts an end to him ever getting a captain's pick unless he's playing too well to leave off (think Bryson this year). It's going to be fascinating to watch in 2 years when he qualifies on points and nobody knows what to do with him.

So are they just going to make Stricker Captain and pretend like everything is o.k? It's in Wisconsin in 2020 so give the hometown hero and the cheeseheads what they want regardless if he is the best selection?

I think 2020 is a lock to be Stricker and 2024 at Bethpage is a lock to be Phil. 2022 is a bit tougher... Tiger should hopefully still be relevant so I doubt they'd make him captain then. Zach Johnson is probably the best bet, maybe Kuchar. Maybe even David Duval as a dark horse.
I think Europe will go Harrington in 2020, Westwood in 2022, McDowell in 2024.

Pals Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka came close to blows in European team room
I doubt there's much to this but it's funny how terrible the American team looks right now.
Although it does fuel fire to the speculation that DJ and BK are not as 'buddy-buddy' as the media portrays them as, partly based on how cold they seem to act towards each other. I think that's just more a case of them being ridiculously unemotional people, but who knows.

Europe takes the RC serious. The Americans not so much. I know Captain Obvious but as long as that trend continues advantage the Euros.

The Green Jacket Ceremony is going to be interesting at Augusta next year. 
No way Reed gets a captains pick from now on. The "captains" often defer responsibility of making the picks. The players with influence in the team room make the picks or have a lot of say in who gets picked. Those players don't like Reed. Reed kind of admitted that, but I think he would've helped himself out more to just shut his mouth. I'm afraid he's ruined his RC legacy in one event because of how badly he played and his comments afterwards. He was the worst player at the event, and then he threw multiple people under the bus after a loss.
He even kind of insulted Tiger.

You don't get to be top 40 on the PGA $ list w/o being very competitive. The Americans don't take it as seriously, because they know they can't win. They're talented, egocentric players w/o the character, clutch putting, or teamwork of the Europeans.
They remind me of the first half of Phil's and Norman's careers. First on Saturday, second on Sunday.

So basically the RC is home cooking:
Europe when they travel lost 2 of the last 3 RC's in US soil and needed an all-time miracle to avoid losing 3 straight
Europe at home is all but untouchable
Like, does Europe do something different when the RC is on their turf compared to not?

Except for when the RC is not on their soil. They only play lights out when it's on their turf.
2 years ago, they looked very flat and did not take US seriously.
Like, it's as if they play when they want to play? Do they have to stay home to play perfect ball?

I can't agree with any of this
They just lost-they won it a couple of years ago with a similar team...

Winning the last 7 of 9 suggests they have won here more than once

What he said. We've lost 7 of 9. That's not equality. I was going to post that Yahoo story, but was too slow. The team member throwing Reed under the bus is not classy or teamwork. You win together and you lose together. I like having Reed on the team. As long as we're going amateur hour with Tiger and Phil, let's have some comic relief.

I "like" Reed also, but there's a pretty compelling history on him that suggests he's not a good teammate
I don't like the anonymous teammate comments, but what really happened? Did Jordan not want to play with Reed or did Reed want to play with Tiger? We got two totally opposite narratives going here...

Then you have DJ and Koepka ready to exchange punches. What a disfuctional group of characters. Reminds me of a bunch of silver spooned brats

Man, I've never seen a bunch of players cannibalize each other so badly because they lost in the all star game.

Of course she plans to sue. Welcome to 2018 where you have to blame others for your own issues
