Hear about this one? Maybe it's because he's just TOO good that brings out the worst in some people. Remember the '97 Masters where Tiger Woods obliterated the rest of the field? Now, do you remember how sunglasses-with-necklace-wearing old timer Fuzzy Zoeller suggested that Eldrick would be serving fried chicken and collard greens at his Masters dinner? Pretty racist eh? Here's the latest brutal outburst: last Friday at the Mercedes after on-air partner Nick Faldo suggested that the others "gang up on Tiger to slow him down", Golf Channel commentator Kelly Tilghman went above and beyond and suggested that "they should lynch him in a back alley."
Scuuuuuuuse me!
I'm guessing she was just trying to come up with a proper analogy to reference Tiger's complete and utter dominance of the PGA Tour, but when you use the word 'lynch' when talking about an African American, you're gonna be seen as a pretty big racist. Lucky for her, Tiger has accepted her apology, she's been given a 2 week hiatus from the network, and things appear to be blowing over without causing too much damage. Either way, an interesting way to start off the '08 campaign.

I would enter her like my PIN at a bank machine.
I would bang her like a screen door in a huricane.
I would hit that like a wife gets hit during the super-bowl.
Basically, what I'm saying is; I would like to have sex with her.
multiple times.
