The move was expected, considering the team's preference to be cautious with its franchise player and his comeback from reconstructive surgery on his left knee. Peterson can come off the PUP list at any time, but he can't take part in drills with the team until then. He still counts against the 90-man roster.

Coach Leslie Frazier said Friday that Peterson put up a fight but the decision is best for the team.

"Ultimately I knew how the conversation was going, that it wasn't going to go my way no matter what I thought," Peterson said. "But I understand the decision."

No question, the place has hosted its share of heroes and historical figures, and we don't mean the kind wherein their battle gear featured a dimpled ball and chromed shafts. More like lead balls and blunderbusses.

Long before it toppled into recent bankruptcy proceedings, West Virginia's venerable Greenbrier Resort was at various time the property of both the Confederate and Union armies during the Civil War, which brings us to a rather apt analogy.

In an attempt to put the resort back on the map of relevance after years of serious financial issues, Greenbrier owner Jim Justice has been dipping into his massive financial war chest to win a PGA Tour player recruiting war with tournaments that don't have the same cash cannon at their disposal.
