CHILMARK, Mass. -- When President Barack Obama goes on vacation, he plays a lot of golf. And when he plays, he likes to hang out with big-name basketball players.Five days into his family vacation on Marthas Vineyard, the president has spent four of them hitting the links. While the president rarely plays basketball anymore, he could put together a pretty strong pickup team with his golfing partners if he were so inclined.In his first outing, Obama joined up with Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers. In the second round, it was Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, and in his third and fourth rounds, Obamas foursome included former all-stars Alonzo Mourning and Ray Allen. The latter two were playing partners during last years vacation as well.The round with Curry makes good on Obamas promise of a rematch when the Warriors visited the White House in February to be honored for winning the 2015 NBA championship.I heard during this summer, after our golf game, that Steph was using the excuse of Secret Service being intimidating for why he lost the match, Obama said at the time. That is not the case. But he will have another opportunity.When Obama golfs, a handful of reporters, a camera team and photographers -- known as the pool -- are nearby, usually kept far enough away so the president doesnt see them, and vice versa. But the press was allowed to watch Obama on the first hole on the first day.A skunk livened things up when it waddled by the press van on the second day of golf. No damage was done before it wandered over to an area where the Secret Service was checking cars for bombs before their drivers were allowed to enter the courses parking lot.Many weekends in Washington, Obama also goes golfing, but generally on just one of the days.On Marthas Vineyard, Obama also has gone out twice for dinner. In the town of Oak Bluffs, he dined Sunday evening at Down Island, a new, trendy restaurant that has a $59 prix fixe menu.Executive Chef Scott Cummings told the Cape Cod Times the president shook hands with staff and posed for photos. The menu included island-caught striped bass, roasted carrots, octopus and chocolate pate. Obama tried all the dishes that were brought to him, Cummings said.Hundreds lined the street hoping for a glimpse of the president and first lady, cheering enthusiastically as their motorcade sped away to drop them off on the other side of the island. Its friendly country for Democrats, though a couple of Trump supporters watched the motorcade Thursday behind a Trump sign.The Clintons also frequented the vineyard during Bill Clintons two terms, and the motorcade passed a permanent sign reading Hoo-rah for Bill. The sign was erected by the late Craig Kingsbury, an eccentric local who was the inspiration for Quint in the movie Jaws. Much of the movie was filmed on the island.For their second dinner out, the Obamas headed back Tuesday to State Road restaurant in West Tisbury, which has become a yearly stop for them. Lobster salad, local greens, striped bass, monkfish, duck breast and cheeseburgers were on the menu.The Obamas have vacationed every year but one on Marthas Vineyard. They generally keep a low profile, and indeed there were few people on the street in West Tisbury when they left the restaurant around 10:30 p.m.On the day Obama didnt golf, he and the first family went to a private beach. The White House said Thursday he and daughter Malia also went for a walk in the morning on a trail near the house the Obamas are renting. The White House doesnt disclose exactly where he is staying, but hes in the same neighborhood of a home the Obamas stayed at in 2014 and 2015. One of the local papers, the Marthas Vineyard Times, describes the home as containing seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, expansive views of Vineyard Sound, a swimming pool, a hot tub and a dual tennis-basketball court.Obama has added a new event to this years itinerary, a fundraiser Monday for the Democratic National Committee. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton will be on the island as well on August 20. Her campaign website stated that shell be in Edgartown at the home of Carol and Frank Biondi, a former CEO for Viacom and Universal Studios. Its unclear for now whether the two politicians will spend any time together.---Sara Brown and Peter Brannen contributed to this report.Wholesale MLB Jerseys .

Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan gave an impression of Bill Belichick on Monday, thus kicking off a week of buildup to Sundays road game against the New England Patriots.Were gonna start with the injury report, Ryan mumbled as he opened his news conference. Youll get it on Wednesday. Simple as that. Youll get it [when we] turn it in.It was the latest made-for-television moment from Ryan on the subject of the Patriots. Ryan emphasized, however, that he respects his AFC East adversary as they prepare to meet as head coaches for the eighth consecutive season.I think my admiration is really for Belichick more than anything, Ryan said Monday. As a coach, thats the guy. Hell go down as probably the best in the history of the game. I like poking fun at him and all that stuff, but theres no coach I respect more than him.Belichick has an 11-4 record against Ryan, including a playoff loss to the New York Jets following the 2010 season. The Patriots defeated the Bills twice in Ryans first season as Buffalos coach.The Bills improved to 1-2 this season by defeating the favored Arizona Cardinals?33-18 on Sunday. They have won only once at Gillette Stadium, in the 2014 regular-season finale.[Winning Sunday] would mean a lot to our football team, Ryan said Monday. [The Patriots] have been the standard of this league, not jusst in our conference, division, whatever.dddddddddddd. Theyve been the standard of the league. So you want to put yourself up against the best.I think everybody saw what happened, when everybody [said], Well, no Tom Brady. This team will be a disaster. Well, theyre 3-0 last time I checked. And they beat some pretty good football teams. So yeah, it will mean a lot. We need a win in the worst way.Ryan struck a different tone Monday, after riffing on the Patriots quarterback situation one day earlier.I can sit back and say I dont care who plays quarterback, because [Tom] Brady aint, Ryan said Sunday. I dont care who plays quarterback. Steve Grogan can play quarterback. If Belichicks playing quarterback, were coming after him, I promise you that.It remains uncertain which Patriots quarterback,?Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder injury) or Jacoby Brissett (thumb), will be able to play against the Bills. It will be the final game of Bradys four-game suspension.I expect [the Patriots] immediately to tell us [who the starting quarterback will be], Ryan joked Monday. And as soon as they tell us, were all gonna be like, Yeah, OK. Nobody would believe it anyway. Nah, I dont know. Were not gonna find out until kickoff. ' ' '
