It saddens me that anyone could find anything remotely offensive in what he said, it really does.

Perhaps a touch sexist, but tolerable imo (I laughed - and it was the 2nd time I'd heard him say that!). Probably false offense taken by many, but it's hammering this sort of thing that gets the message across - and occasionally gets 'accepting' folks backs up!

Appropriate apology (to any that were offended, but nothing more) by BBC.

When my wife heard the remark she said 'silly old fool'......I tend to agree with her.

It was sad to hear Alliss complimenting Faldo's great golfing career when he spent most of it as his No1 critic.

[Apologies to anyone who is upset about my comments]:lol:

The stoopid bloody thing about it is "Johnson" was probably thinking something along those lines himself and to be quite honest "Allis" was probably spot on, I know from personal experience that whenever I get a little windfall the first thing my missus does is produce a list of things that she apparently "really needs" so why would "Johnson's" missus be any different, that's what they do !...:thup:

ps, I take offence at having to get up and go to work at "stupid o'clock" every morning but nobody ever try's to stop me from doing that do they, funny that innit !...

So, if Zach Johnson goes out and buys some jewellery for her with his winnings is he being sexist?

C'mon, be honest, buying jewellery is so obviously a sexist thing to do...:confused:

If Mr. Johnson is away for weeks at a time on the PGA tour I would think Mrs. Johnson would have more use for their kitchen than he does.

Maybe they have a cook though, or would that be stereotyping rich successful people?

If Zach Johnsons wife does buy a new kitchen then I hope she fries enough eggs to throw on people's faces

Unfortunately I am not in the lucky position to be able to treat my wife when I have a windfall as my Mrs actually earns more than me. I probably should have studied harder at school. Who'd have thought it eh, what with her being a woman and all that. So she does not need to pester me so she can buy something she really needs, as she just does it. As that's also what some women do nowadays apparently.:eek:

I'm really "curious" to know why you keep "putting things" in double quotes??
