Love To Be Named Ryder Cup Captain In Special Thursday News Dump!

This is not a stunning revelation considering he was one of Corey Pavin's lieutenants and is a logical choice to be the next U.S. captain, but it is a mystery why Davis Love's captaincy is going to be announced this week.

A) Jose Maria Olazabal will be announced as the European Captain Tuesday. Isn't that enough Ryder Cup news for one week? Or maybe even one month?

B) The announcement will be in Chicago, far away from the golf media in the deserts.

C) The Bears and Packers are playing for the NFC Championship Sunday, which, as AP's Doug Ferguson tweeted, should ensure that the news is on no one's radar screen in Chicago.
