Get Yer Ropes Boys!

Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman is back peddlin’ like a mofo after the comments she made last week during a telecast of the PGA Tour’s opening event at the Mercedes-Benz Championship. She said that young golfers should “lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley.” Apparently that’s the only way they’d be able to compete with him.
A spokesman for the channel said she immediately regretted the remark and apologized on the telecast Sunday. She also reached out to Woods’ people to express her regrets. (Source)
Tiger’s response? Outrage? Demands for an apology? Nope! He apparently doesn’t give two shits about what she said. His agent Mark Steinberg said,
"This story is a non-issue. Tiger and Kelly are friends and Tiger has a great deal of respect for Kelly. Regardless of the choice of words used we know unequivocally that there was no ill-intent in her comments. This story is a non-issue in our eyes. Case closed." Source
Eh, I’m not mad…irritated, but not mad. If you understand the context in which she made the statement you could see that she was offhandedly complementing Tiger for being one of the most dominating forces in the history of golf. But this dizzy broad slipped up and started talking bout lynchin' folks all willy nilly. She better be glad that Tiger didn’t get mad cus he may be her saving grace in keeping her job.
