ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills top pass-rusher Von Miller will open the season on the physically unable to perform list in allowing him to continue recovering from a torn right knee ligament, a person with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday.The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the team has not yet announced the move coming on the day NFL teams have to cut their rosters to 53 players. ESPN.com first reported the decision.Miller will be required to miss at least the first four games of the season.Though Miller hoped to be ready for the start of the season, the move was expected after the 12th-year player has yet to be cleared for practice.Miller was hurt in a 28-25 win at the Detroit Lions on Nov. 24 and had surgery a few weeks later.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflSource

ATLANTA (AP) — Tiger Woods was the richest guy in golf and played like he didn’t have two nickels to rub together. That’s one of many traits that made him so incomparable.Just don’t get the idea he wasn’t in it for the money.Woods won the first of his 82 titles on the PGA Tour in 1996 at the Las Vegas Invitational. He walked into the press room and glanced at the computer screen of an Associated Press writer who turned and asked him, “Like it?”“I like this,” Woods replied, pointing to the reporter’s reference of his $297,000 winner’s check.Then there was 2002 in Ireland at a World Golf Championship, which offered $1 million to the winner (back when $1 million meant something). Woods opened with a 65 and was asked if he would rather win that week or the following week at the Ryder Cup.“Here this week,” he said. When asked why, Woods smiled and said, “I can think of a million reasons why.” The room erupted in laughter.That seems like chump cha...
