About the Author

Cougar2000
There are some things about sports I don't like... the New Yuck Muts, the University of Michigan and those ASSCRACK UGLY HELMETS, the Floridamn Gayturds and the Miami Crimicanes. I also think that NASCRAP and professional wrestling are a HUGE waste of air time on television and would rather watch women's Jello wrestling!

Golfer defends action

Yesterday, I told you about Tripp Isenhour and the incident he had on a golf course while taping a telveision show in December. In an interview on the Golf Channel at the PODS Championship. the former Georgia Tech linkster says that he was trying to shoo the bird away. 

According to Isenhour, he said the bird that was killed was in a tree, minding its business, when you whacked it faster than Big Pussy on the Sopranos. Now you've been charged with animal cruelty, as well as the killing of a migratory bird, which is a threatened species. I am not buying that argument that you were trying to shoo it away. If it were me, I would have left the animal alone. Plain and simple.

Now you not only have the wrath of the Humane Society of the United States but you also have the wrath of PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.  You can also kiss your playing priviliges at Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando goodbye. You call it an unfortunate accident. Please! The Hindenburg was an accident. Enjoy the 14 months in jail you'll be spending if you're convicted and I hope to heaven you get a jury full of golfers and animal lovers.

And a jail cell next to Micheal Vick.

Equally appalling is the comments by fellow golfers. Mark Calcavecchia: "It's a bad break for the bird, but it sounds like there are a lot of other things people should be worried about" Great bedside manner. Lee Janzen: "A girl from North Carolina got murdered yesterday and there's no suspect. That's a lot more important. If it could have nicked him, scared him off, we'd never have heard of this. Unfortunately, the bird got hit." Right. So if nobody knew about it...it would be okay to have killed the bird. Not sorry for the act, but sorry you got caught. Pathetic, really.

I don't understand why the bird didn't fly away when there were golf balls flying at it. Were they stealth golf balls? If hit a golf ball at a crow before to get it to shut up, but I've never actually hit one, and it always flys away when the first ball rustles the trees around him. I don't think this guy seriously intended to hit the bird. He just wanted it to go away. It just sucks that he actually killed it and it ended up being an endangered bird.
