I would root for the earth to open up and swallow both of them. They are both world class pricks IMHO.

I don't know of many people who think Mickelson is a world class prick. Care to elaborate?

Rumors and scuttlebutt, along with intuition. His "aw shucks' attitude and goofy fake smile are obviously forced many times. He goes out of his way to cultivate his image, instead of just living up to the image in the first place.

[/ QUOTE ] While the crowds seem to love him, many in the media despise Phil Mickelson. The words "fake", "phony" and two more that end with the letters "u-c-k-e-r" were heard often when those in the know discussed Lefty.

These aren't supposed to 'prove' anything, other than the fact that I am not the only one who feels this way about Mickelson. It is just a vibe I get, and one that has been backed up anecdotally.

Not to say he isn't a prick, because honestly I have no idea if he is or not, but those seem like really shoddy reasons. A vibe that a few people agree with?
