I don't know about your areas, but I have been listening to local and national talk show hosts run to the defense of Rocco Mediate over Johhny Miller's really dumb statements during the US Open. (I'm not going to repeat them - if you haven't heard and just have to know, they are in he story linked above)

Not a huge surprise to most of you, but I can't stand Johnny Miller. Don't like his arrogant commentary. Don't like his made up shot names. Don't like his 20/20 hindsite analysis to rag on a player who misses a shot. (Johnny seems to think that a missed shot was the intended shot)

However, his stupid statements aren't worth the rhubarb of commentary that is going on by lazy, bored talk show hosts who will blow any mole hill into a mountain at the drop of a hat. (two Italian groups have even called for his suspension or firing)

Rocco - on the other hand - gets it right. He doesn't care. He doesn't believe that Miller intended any serious insult by his words and dismisses any calls for his action against Miller.

Well done Rocco - maybe Johnny should tatoo your name on his arm to remind him how to lighten up and have a little more fun with the broadcasts.
