"racial" comments at the end of the British Open broadcast
Click the link to the second hour of the July 21st show for this discussion - Faherty comes up right after this discussion and he's ALWAYS worth a listen.
Dan Patrick and his crew got into a light discussion about the ABC commentary at the end of the show on Sunday when they said that Harrington would be drinking Irish Whiskey from the Claret Jug and that Irishmen everywhere would be getting drunk celebrating the win.
This follows on Johnny Miller - that great "thinker" - and his comments about Rocco Mediate at the US Open.
Then further back to Fuzzy Zoeller's crack about what Tiger would pick for dinner at the Masters dinner.
As light hearted as the all three sets of comments were intended to be - Fuzzy Zoeller was branded as a racist from that day - but Miller and the ABC guys comments were just laughed off.

I remember Fuzzy sounding ....
drunk and angry (or at least put out), but definitely not light-hearted.

one thing about Fuzzy
...he’s almost always light hearted. the comments were stupid in or out of context, but he’s been around too long to say something like that and mean it in a hurtful manner.
