It's Sunday Morning And...

...the clock is ticking on David Feherty and if past little brouhahas like this are any indication, the longer you wait and the more stubborn your stance, the worse things get.

I awoke expecting to see a story or inbox release featuring a witty apology from Feherty. Something along the lines of, "Normally my best medium is in the gas passing joke genre and clearly I misfired in my D Magazine story. As evidenced by my efforts on behalf of the troops, I never would imply that those I have met during trips to Iraq would commit an offense punishable by the Uniform Code of Miltary Justice. I love the troops, I love America and I apologize to anyone I may have offended, including Senator Reid, Congresswoman Pelosi and most of all, our brave troops."

MediaMatters.org, a progressive media watchdog, has asked for a simple apology to the troops. It's not as if they are calling for his job.

So for the sake of David Feherty's career (that has brought so much joy to us in the golf world) hopefully he acts quickly to put this to bed by today. Because the longer he waits, the more potential this has to snowball into one of those ridiculous little controversies that ultimately ends poorly.

And now that Feherty is an American citizen, he should know we love the big apology. Just ask Jason Giambi and Barry Bonds. One is still in baseball, one is not. One apologized, one did not. Both committed the same offense.
