  - That's right, I'm using a comment to comment that I don't care to comment. Skills. -- nm - Baroon 5 Feb 15, 15:17

        Yep yep yep -- nm - Bacon Feb 15, 14:39
  - Yeah, at this point, he should have paid more. As far as acts of contrition go, it's the very least he can do. -- nm - David Feb 15, 14:17 6
    - I know he had a PR agent because I just finished reading the apology. He should have chipped off the 10% and made this go away for him and his - Bacon Feb 15, 14:22 5
      - I follow Steve Elkington on Twitter and Elk has been ripping this dude over and over. I am guessing he still will. -- nm - Bacon Feb 15, 14:23 4
        
        On PTI, Wilbon indicated that other pros were absolutely mortified by Kuchar's behavior. This won't help him in the clubhouse. -- nm - David Feb 15, 14:27 3
