Yea.. There's video of it on YouTube somewhere. He wasn't talking in a pissed off KKK manner. Still hilarious though.



IIRC, he was laughing as he said it. It was clearly a joke and there was not malice in it.

At the end of the day, it was an example of why some things need to stay in the locker room.

Yeah, he was joking, and he was being very complimentary of Tiger, but he took the joke way too far. Some people even argued that he was being racist when he said, "That little boy is out there kicking our butts." They focused on the term "little boy". That part was overkill. But Fuzzy really messed up when he turned back as he was walking off and said, "or collard greens, or whatever they serve".

It definitely wasn't a good moment for the PGA.


I have been pretty critical of Tiger, but I will say that he handled that controversey very well. He didn't fan the flames, and he down played it publically as much as he could. I've got to give him credit for that.

No way .. Probably his worst PR debacle as a professional. He left fuzzy out the hanging for way way way too long .. Could have handled it a lot better ... He played the victim to to hilt ... He got some terrible advice on that one ... One of the many reasons I can not stand the man ...

Tiger and Fuzzy are friends and Tiger publicly stated he thought it was a funny comment.

I would definitely do crawfish, jambalya, and red beans.

I would also definitely boil them myself and teach the euros how to eat them. That would be a great story.

On Saturday we had a big day party and this homeless black man walked in the back yard. We taught him how to eat crawfish for his first time and he was so weirded out. Left with a belly full of crawfish and beer. (We live in Nashville and he had never seen a crawfish boil)

Terrible quality, but here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Where the hell do you live to have homeless people walking in your back yard?

But that is pretty neat

Definitely, a crawfish boil with all of the extras.

Chicken and Andouille Gumbo with Potato Salad.

Thin and Crispy Catfish with Hushpuppies.

Ponchatoula Strawberry Shortcake.

All of the Abitas and Canebrake Beer on Tap.

Nashville has tons of homeless people that don't even look homeless. They sell papers on street corners and we had a few hundred people at this party. I'm sure he heard the band and wondered in through the back alley. Super nice guy.

Maybe you're right. It was a long time ago.

I would do a dirty south fry everything dinner - catfish, shrimp, boudin balls, frog legs the whole nine yards. Hoping that the oil on all the players hands would open the door for another green jacket!

Only in my dreams

Oh yeahhh, forgot about the booze. I would get trashed and get everyone else trashed. Louisiana bloody marys (tabasco and green beans) and Louisiana beer. Tony cacheres (sp?) and Krystal hot sauce on every table.

Probably most of them I'd guess. Even the old guys play and miss the cut, right?

Wouldn't getting run over by the wife and exposed for cheating with more than 10 different women be his worst PR as a pro? just saying

We always had some random black people show up at our day party's at the fraternity house. They were freaked out by the whole crawfish thing.

And in 8th grade, on our trip to DC, we ate a seafood buffet one night. Well me and my twin brother were the only ones who ate or even knew what crawfish were. The black kids in our grade started freaking out. We started chasing them with the crawfish. I thought they were about to cry. It was hilarious.

I also love how it's now turned into him saying "Fried chicken and watermelon" when he didn't even remotely say that.

He said "Tell em not to serve fried chicken", and as he walked away he says "or collard greens or whatever they served." And I could be wrong, but I think fried chicken and collard greens was the meal that year when he said it.
