The Kelly Tilghman incident is coming back into rotation as the she prepares to rejoin the Golf Channel as her suspension comes to an end (just in time for the Tiger-dominated Buick Invitational) today. Just in time for the necessary celebrations, NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown spoke with Sage Steele on ESPN First Take about Tiger’s reaction to Tilghman’s lynching comments.
Needless to say, Brown wasn’t too pleased with Tiger for letting her off the hook. He goes on to say that the word “lynch” has no redeeming qualities to it and Tiger has a responsibility to speak out when something like this happens. Brown also said Tiger waited until the politically correct moment to speak:
So for all of those who think words don’t have meaning, to some, they absolutely do. Was Tilghman being a malicious racist when she used that unfortunate term? Probably not. But she should’ve used a lot more forethought before opening her mouth.

If Tiger’s alright w/ it, so am I ( still inappropriate tho-I’m not condoning it)

and that appears to be the consensus, but Big Jim has a valid point of view as well.

Speaking of talking heads who talk too much, is anyone taking up a collection to send Dana Jacobson a fifth of Irish whiskey when she’s done with her ESPN suspension next week?

apparently, a journalist who was at the roast said Dana didn’t say that stuff… especially the “F*** Jesus” comment.

Then what was she apologizing for, and why the suspension?
