FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- There were several newsworthy moments from Rory McIlroys interview session on Wednesday in regard to his equipment. He might not sign with another manufacturer anytime soon; hes got three years worth of golf balls stored away if he needs them; and hes switching to a mallet-style putter for this weeks Barclays tournament.But lets start with perhaps the biggest takeaway: When Nike Golf announced recently that it would be ceasing its equipment operation, one of the companys star attractions barely knew ahead of time.It was a shock to all of us, McIlroy revealed. I got a call two hours before it was announced.The dominoes from that announcement have already started to fall, as McIlroy will have a Scotty Cameron-model putter in his bag this week.Following a poor putting performance at the PGA Championship three weeks ago, he felt it was time to make a change.Theres a bit to go and its a process, but I feel like Ive made a good start, McIlroy explained. I feel like with the putter change to a mallet, it doesnt encourage that face to close that much, which is the bad putt I was getting. So it just sort of encourages the face to stay a little more square through impact.As for the rest of those dominoes, McIlroy insisted hell take a wait-and-see approach regarding any other equipment changes.Im not going to commit to anything, he said. I wouldnt be surprised to see me not go with a manufacturer for a year or two, just sort of play with what I want to play, play with what Im comfortable with, and go from there.That hasnt stopped other manufacturers from already trying.McIlroy revealed with a laugh that his parents home in Northern Ireland has been inundated with packages from companies requesting that he test out their products.I dont think its the time or the place to change what I feel like Im very comfortable with, he said. Obviously, working with the Nike guys over the last number of years, they have gotten to know me and my specific tendencies and what I like in golf clubs. No reason to start changing just because I can. Im comfortable with everything.As for those golf balls, well, McIlroy knows hell need to find a new one at some point, but hes comfortable extending that deadline as long as possible.Ive got them to save me a lot of three years worth of golf balls, so at least Ive got a golf ball that I like and that I know that I can play well with, he said.How many balls is that, exactly?If I dont lose a golf ball, Im still using at least six, you know, cutting them, he said with a laugh. Theres a few dozen there. Jamal Adams Jets Jersey .

DENVER -- Broncos starting linebacker Brandon Marshall, a teammate of Colin Kaepernicks in college at Nevada, knelt during the national anthem before Thursday nights season-opening 21-20 win over the Carolina Panthers.Marshall, who is active in community work, took a knee just before the national anthem and remained in that stance until the song was completed. The Broncos players were lined up, standing on the sideline, and Marshall was at the end of the line on the south end of Sports Authority Field at Mile High.?No other players were seen sitting or kneeling during the national anthem.Im not against the military, police or America. Im against social injustice, Marshall said after the game, adding that he felt it was the right thing to do and that he will continue to kneel during the anthem this season.Marshall, the teams second-leading tackler during its run to a Super Bowl title last season, has expressed support for Kaepernick, who initially opted to not stand during the anthem in the preseason because of what he believes is racial injustice and police brutality in the United States.Marshall said he also believes taking a knee during the anthem is a way to create dialogue.I think the more people do it, the more its seen -- theres going to be hate mail, hate comments, but at the same time, people will talk about it, he said. Some people are going to stand by me, some people arent. But I know my loved ones, the people that love me and care about me, theyre going to stand behind me, and thats all that matters to me.A lot of stuff that happened this summer, the police brutality, that sparked a conversation. We can talk all we want, but actions speak louder than words, so when [Kaepernick] took a knee, or sat down, he got people thinking.dddddddddddd Then he was able to say everything he felt, everything he meant.On Friday, Marshall was released from his endorsement deal with Air Academy Federal Credit Union.?Although we have enjoyed Brandon Marshall as our spokesperson over the past five months, Air Academy Federal Credit Union (AAFCU) has ended our partnership, AAFCU president and CEO Glenn Strebe said in a Facebook statement. AAFCU is a membership-based organization who has proudly served the military community for over 60 years. While we respect Brandons right of expression, his actions are not a representation of our organization and membership. We wish Brandon well on his future endeavors.In a statement Thursday, the Broncos said, While we encourage members of our organization to stand during the national anthem, we understand and respect it being a personal decision.Earlier in the preseason, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said, I want our guys to stand for the national anthem. ... My dad taught me two things that I believe in strongly. He told me to believe in my values and those types of things in life, and obviously I believe in our country and the national anthem very strongly. But at the same time, he taught me to respect other peoples beliefs and values, so I do that.Our guys do a great job. But I dont babysit guys. I let them handle themselves. We tell our guys: Be yourself. Be your best self.Marshall briefly left Thursdays game in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion but was cleared to return. He finished with six tackles.
