FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Fitz Magic fizzled, so its Geno Smiths turn -- again.The New York Jets will start Smith at quarterback Sunday against Baltimore at MetLife Stadium, sending Ryan Fitzpatrick and his one-year, $12 million contract to the sideline.I felt like it was time for a change, coach Todd Bowles said after practice Wednesday.At the NFL fall meetings in Houston, Jets owner Woody Johnson said it was Bowles call to go with Smith, with the Jets sinking at 1-5 and on a four-game losing streak. Bowles confirmed that it was strictly my call.I am behind the coach 100 percent, Johnson said. Our coach made the decision he felt needed to be made.Fitzpatrick has been a major reason for the Jets struggles, throwing an NFL-leading 11 interceptions and just five touchdown passes during a brutal start.I mean, I dont like it, Fitzpatrick said. Im disappointed that were making the change, but disappointed in my play this year, as well.The competitor in me really wants to be out there. The guy who was the leader of this team last year and the beginning of this year wants to be out there, but its a decision that Todd made. Ive got to respect his decision, but I dont have to like it.After the Jets lost 28-3 at Arizona on Monday night, Bowles said Fitzpatrick would remain the starter. He backtracked a bit Tuesday during a conference call , saying its always status quo right after games and he wanted to discuss things with his staff and general manager Mike Maccagnan that night. During those meetings, Bowles decided to go with Smith.Genos our starter right now, Bowles said. Well see how things go down the line.Bowles added that its possible the Jets could turn to Fitzpatrick again at some point.I can only go week to week, the coach said.Smith was the Jets starter last summer until his jaw was broken by a punch from then-teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali during training camp.I think the person who benefited the most from this last year and a half has been Geno, wide receiver Brandon Marshall said. Its been amazing to see this guy grow and really, you know, punch adversity in the face.Fitzpatrick took over last summer and went on to throw a franchise-record 31 touchdown passes and get within a win of the playoffs at 10-6.After garnering little interest in the free-agent market, Fitzpatrick re-signed with the Jets on the eve of training camp, a move most Jets players celebrated . Fitzpatrick has had a rough go of it this season, including a six-interception performance at Kansas City on Sept. 25, but still appeared to have the support of most of his teammates.Marshall made that clear after 27-17 loss to Seattle in Week 4 when asked about the quarterback situation.I am. Going down. In a boat. With Ryan Fitzpatrick, Marshall said at the time.When asked about that comment Wednesday, Marshall smiled.In a boat, huh? he said. Boat down!New Yorks offensive woes were hard for Bowles to overlook. The Jets rank 26th overall and are last in the NFL in scoring with 15.8 points per game. Their red zone offense is also worst in the league, scoring eight touchdowns in 22 trips inside the opponents 20-yard line (36.4 percent).Smith tried to stay patient, but he told an ESPN reporter before the game Monday night that he was getting antsy while being stuck on the sideline as the team struggles.Now, Smith will have a chance to revive both his career and the Jets playoff hopes.Its not about me, Smith said. It never has been. Im going to go out there with my teammates and were all going to play hard and try to get a win.Smith last started in the 2014 season finale at Miami , where he threw for 358 yards and three touchdowns while compiling a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating in a 37-14 win.In his first game action since a mop-up appearance last November after Fitzpatrick hurt his left thumb, Smith replaced Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals and connected on his first four passes. On third-and-3 from the Cardinals 40, Smith fumbled as he was sacked, but the Jets recovered. He was intercepted by Tyrann Mathieu on the next play, the Jets final offensive possession.A second-round draft pick out of West Virginia in 2013, Smith started all but two games during his first two seasons. Smith showed momentary flashes but was largely inconsistent while throwing 25 TD passes and 34 interceptions in that span.He appeared to be settling into new offensive coordinator Chan Gaileys system, which seemed to suit his athletic style, last season. But then came the locker-room incident that threw his career into uncertainty and set in motion Fitzpatricks terrific season.Now, its back to Smith. At least, for now.Ive played before, Smith said. Its not going to be anything new to me, so Ive just got to go out there and take care of the football and make plays.---AP Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner in Houston contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Max Plus Tn Nz .

In the foreword to a book celebrating the 150-year anniversary of the oldest championship in golf, Arnold Palmer refers to the event as The Open Championship. In his autobiography, Palmer refers to the major he won twice as the British Open.So which is it?That depends on the source. And it depends on the audience.The Open Championship began in 1860 when Willie Park Sr. defeated seven other golfers at Prestwick. It was 35 years until another big championship came along at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island known as the U.S. Open. That was followed by the South African Open, the Canadian Open and the Australian Open.When the British Open began is a little more unclear.According to an Associated Press account in 1900, J.H. Taylor won the open golf championship at St. Andrews. Two paragraphs later, however, the story noted that Taylor scored his third triumph in the English championships, even though it was held in Scotland.In 1910, the AP reported from St. Andrews that the open golf championship tournament ended in victory for James Braid. Just four years later, however, an AP story in The Los Angeles Times said that Harry Vardon won for the sixth time the British open golf championship.The R&A has never referred to it as anything but The Open Championship, and it recent years it has made a stronger case for the name of golfs oldest major to go by one name -- the proper name -- in any country.The USGA in its official U.S. Open entry form for years noted that players were exempt from qualifying if they had won the British Open in the last five years. This year, the language was changed to refer to a five-year exemption for winning The Open conducted by the R&A.William McGirt, headed over to Scotland for the first time, said he received a packet in the mail reminding players that its called The Open Championship.Im sure Ill call it the British Open and get pounded for it, McGirt said. But hey, its in Britain.The R&A has never referred to its premier championship as anything but The Open. It just happens to be held on links courses in Britain, with an exception in 1951 at Portrush in Northern Ireland, where it will return in three years.The name of the championship hasnt changed in 155 years, said Malcolm Booth, communications director for the R&A. The reason we think 155 years on there is legitimacy in calling it `The Open Championship is it really was the birthplace of open competition.It was the first. It was the original. It was the template. It is The Open.But not to Jack Nicklaus.Nicklaus was asked in late February about how he decided which sons would caddie for him in the majors. He recalled one year when Jackiee, his oldest son, caddied in the Masters and I think he had the Open.dddddddddddd And then he mentioned his second-oldest son, Steve, had the British Open and the PGA.The British Open?Thats what it is, Nicklaus said.Has he ever referred to the major he won three times The Open?Sure, when Im over there, he said. Over here, people dont know what The Open Championship is. Its `The Open Championship of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. If its The Open Championship, it could be the U.S. Open, the Australian Open, the Japanese Open.Thats where the R&A might beg to differ.When championship golf began in 1860, the golfing world was defined by Scotland. The Open was not held anywhere else until it went to Royal St. Georges in England in 1894, one year before the U.S. Open began.We dont consider ourselves a national championship, Booth said. The Open remit is to identify the champion golfer of the year.Three years ago, that champion golfer was Phil Mickelson, who grew up in San Diego referring to it as the British.Now that Ive won it, and the R&A strongly prefers it to be called just `The Open or `The Open Championship, I try hard to call it that, Mickelson said. But its not comfortable to me because its not what I referred to it as growing up in the United States.Hes not alone. And its not just Americans.Russell Knox of Scotland says he goes by British Open, though he has been in Florida the last 15 years. Branden Grace of South Africa grew up calling it the British Open. So did Jason Day of Australia.Adam Scott, however, was adamant that it is The Open and nothing else. That national championship in his home country? The Australian Open.I understand that when you say the `British Open you mean `The Open Championship, Scott said. When you call it the `Open and you mean the U.S. Open, then Im confused. Because thats called the United States Open.Jim Furyk simply goes by the calendar.A runner-up at Oakmont last month, he said people came up to him at the Bridgestone Invitational and congratulated him for his performance at the Open and it stopped him. His mind already was on the next Open, the one at Royal Troon that starts next week.If I were ever lucky enough to win the claret jug, I would definitely call it `The Open to show respect, he said. But when Im not thinking about it, then it comes out as `British Open because thats the way I grew up hearing it.And, he added with a smile, I might have fun with some folks when I know it will rub them the wrong way, just to watch them cringe.
