Almost one week removed from a more-than-moral victory at the US Open, Rocco Mediate is still receiving a deal of attention.

Mediate forced 19 holes of playoff golf against The All Mighty Tiger Woods in the highest rated US Open since 2002. However, en route of almost slaying the immortal, Mediate talked up to Tiger like a freshman biological science major would to that Cowboy Hat Girl at FSU.

NBC picked up on Mediate’s heavy Tiger praise at the US Open, and found it cool to say, “looks like the guy who cleans Tiger’s swimming pool.”

Granted, a well-spoken Mediate showed the standard respect for Tiger. But maybe it was the in-match Tiger-idolizing (Tigolizing) interviews that allowed comments like Miller’s to grow.

And you know what, that’s perfectly fine.

The PGA, unlike all other leagues, boasts the word “professional” in its acronym. It’s a league without the trash-talking Gilbert Arenas, most-hated Roger Clemens and showboat-trade-demander Chad Johnson.

No, the PGA boasts true professionals, that always include the politcally correct span of eloquently assembled words, whether it be at the clubhouse after losing a marathon US Open, or on the practice green the morning after shooting a 78.

(Think about it, Left’s infamous “I’m An Idiot” press conference is the only memorable one that includes words a 3-year-old shouldn’t say. Other than that, the PGA has kept players cleaner than Eli Manning’s wife.

Would Jeff Van Gundy say something like, “That Ron Artest kid looks like the guy that would change my car’s oil.” No, because Van Gundy would get the shit knocked through his teeth.

I had a lot more to say about this, but Wordpress completely fucked up this initial post, boiling my frustration levels higher than Kobe Bryant throws a tantrum after a charge call against him.
