Dana Jacobson and Kelly Tilgham: Who's Foot is Farther in Their Mouth?

Dana Jacobson and Kelly Tilgham: Who's Foot is Farther in Their Mouth? What is worse in this country? Saying you are going to lynch a celebrity or someone saying "f*** Jesus? Over the past couple of weeks, major controversy has come from 2 major networks: ESPN and the Golf Channel. As most people had heard, Kelly Tilgham of the golf channel talked about how the other tour players should take Tiger out back and "lynch him."

This obviously created an uproar. A little more recently Dana Jacobson, an ESPN on-air personality, had an expletive ridden drunken "roast" of her colleagues of the "Mike and Mike Show." Some of the highlights included "f*** Notre Dame," "f*** touchdown Jesus," and leaving it with "f*** Jesus." She was booed off the stage and later suspended for a week. While neither of these two women will be cracking the favorite on-air personality list, but which one is worse.

The one saving grace for Kelly Tilgham in my mind is that she is friends with Tiger Woods. Often times, you can get away with saying things to and about your friends that you would not ever say about anyone else. She just happened to do it on live TV. It doesn't make it anymore right, but when Tiger Woods comes out and says he forgives you and he knows you didn't mean anything by it. That should give someone a little reprieve. Again I do not condone the words, but when you are attacking a single person, it should be that person's right to determine whether it is offensive. Without knowing their relationship, it is hard for us to say how it should make Tiger Woods feel.
