Meister der Farbe » the songs -- and lets make one

CLEVELAND -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was in midseason form in Sundays 33-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium, as he returned to action with a decisive performance after serving a four-game suspension to open the season as part of the NFLs Deflategate punishment.After going 28-of-40 for 406 yards with three touchdowns, Brady said he wasnt looking back at Deflategate and appreciated the chance to be back doing what I love to do.It particularly showed late in the third quarter after he ran 4 yards to the right sideline to convert a first down, then sprang to his feet to give a deliberate first-down signal in which he brought his right arm high into the air in front of him while his left hand rested on his right shoulder.I dont run much, so when I do, I think I was a little excited. Im glad we got the first down, he said.Brady also said that after returning to the team for the first time late Monday afternoon, it felt very much like a normal week once I got into it.By Sunday, he looked calm and focused upon arriving at the stadium at 9:45 a.m. and heading directly to the teams locker room. At 10:13 a.m., he made his way onto the field for the first time, wearing a red hoodie as he assessed the conditions and venue before walking off at 10:17.By the time he returned to the field shortly after noon, a sizable Patriots contingent greeted his presence with a rousing cheer that almost made it feel like a home game. Brady, as is his routine, ran to the opposite end zone and thrust his right fist into the air in a show of excitement.He then carried his fire into the game, leading the Patriots to touchdowns on their first three drives.Veteran tight end Martellus Bennett, who caught all three of Bradys touchdown passes, joked that all it took was a little WD-40 to get the rust off Brady, but Brady felt differently.I think there was plenty of rust out there. I could do better in a lot of areas, he said. We have a long road ahead, and were going to try to keep building. ... 4-1 is a pretty good place to be right now.Asked if saw any rust from Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski turned the question around on a reporter and said, Did you?Me neither, Gronkowski then said, laughing, after relaying that it was super great to have Brady back in the huddle.He came out on fire, Gronkowski said.After one of his touchdown catches, the sizable Patriots contingent began chanting Brady! Brady! Brady! The cheers picked up again when Brady was sent out to the offensive huddle with 6:02 remaining in regulation, then pulled in favor of Jimmy Garoppolo, with Bill Belichick seemingly doing it that way so Brady could be recognized.It was pretty awesome, Brady said of the support, which included numerous signs that hung over the front row of the stadium in the pregame.We have amazing fans. They showed up today. It was great to hear them.As for Bradys feelings about finally having Deflategate behind him, he deflected the topic.I was just thinking about today and what I had to do, just try to focus on what my job is, he said. This isnt a time for me to reflect. ... It was fun to come out and play, and it was fun to win. I think thats the most important thing.Yeezy Boost China Wholesale .

Vapormax Plus Wholesale . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.CHASKA, Minn. -- Its not the noise thats so jarring on the first tee of the Ryder Cup. No, you expect that. Even without the familiar U-shaped bleachers surrounding the perimeter, you know its going to be loud.On this brisk Minnesota morning, it started predictably early. The American fans were just behind the tee, leading chants in their red, white and blue hockey jerseys and Viking-horn hats.The European fans, down the left side, were singing songs and dancing, head-to-toe in blue and gold outfits, topped by tam-o-shanter caps and completed with matching socks pulled to the knees.More frenzied than a football game, more anticipatory than a rock concert, more rollicking than a roller coaster, the atmosphere on the first tee resembles no other.The underlying tone for each faction of fans is something to the effect of: We want to beat you, but, really, were just here to have a good time; but no, seriously, well only have a good time if we beat you.And so they sing and chant, and chant and sing. Back and forth, like a tennis rally of vigorous hopefulness bouncing from one end of the tee to the next.On Friday, they even cheered together. With the Ryder Cup golf bag of the late Arnold Palmer standing alone on the ground below, the supporters from both sides saluted their fallen hero in unison: AR-NOLD PAL-MER! AR-NOLD PAL-MER! It was enough to give your goosebumps the chills.But that wasnt the most jolting part of the festivities. None of the noise was. No, it was the silence.For the 10 seconds before each of the eight tee shots in the opening foursomes session, the noise didnt lessen. It didnt die down or dwindle. It stopped.Dead silence. From raucous bellowing to not a single trickle of sound floating through the air, as if it was all swallowed up by a vacuum. It was like stepping out of a keg party and into a church.Thats why Justin Rose, who hit the very first tee shot of the morning, said beforeehand: Its a moment to try and enjoy the best you can.dddddddddddd Its clearly nerve-wracking and its not a moment you can really prepare for. Just expect to be nervous, get it airborne and forward.Ryder Cup year after Ryder Cup year, player after player, this opening tee shot is considered the most harrowing, stressful shot in tournament golf.The dichotomy between the boisterous celebration before each drive and the deafening silence during them, combined with the enormity of the moment, is enough to make the surest ball-striker start shaking. At some point, though, they have to swing.And as soon as the clubface makes contact, as soon as the ball starts its ascension into the sky, the party starts up again.The American fans, borrowing an anthem from their soccer brethren, chanted Friday: I believe; I believe that we; I believe that we will win.To which one of the blue-and-gold-clad European fans invariably responded as a solo: I believe that WE will win.Then there are the songs -- and lets make one thing very apparent: When it comes to lyrics, the Europeans have already closed out the match.They sang individual songs for every single player. Kaymer Chameleon (parodying Culture Clubs Karma Chameleon) for Martin Kaymer. To the tune of Thats Amore, they sang, Thats Garcia. And Hey Lee for Lee Westwood, mimicking The Beatles Hey Jude.Even Darius Rucker, who was hanging out inside the ropes at the tee, smiled and acknowledged the phrasing, if not the melody.From keg party to church and back again. Eight times Friday morning, as the foursomes matches made their way to their first tee, each player battling some level of nerves.It was wild. It was raucous. It was eerily silent, then wild and raucous again. As we witnessed once again, there isnt another scene like it in golf. ' ' '
