David Duval has never worn his feelings on his sleeve preferring to be stoic while on the course.

His actions in the parking lot is an extension of his on course persona. Why you expected him to change into someone else in the parking lot is beyond me.

If you seek a change in venue try football. No doubt you would expect Terrell Owens to be calm and a team player and giving interviews in the parking lot once he's traded. Right?

Bill, where the hell does the Constitution mention PRIVACY? LOL! And while DD and other celebs certainly have a right to it in, say, their homes --- I just don't see it at a venue. I mean, since the very beginning of organized sports (a BUSINESS, after all) owners have seen the obvious value of the publicity that sports writers provide for FREE. I guarantee you Tim Finchem cringes when he hears about PGA Tour players dodging media. It just doesn't make a bit of sense and the whole idea is to sell a product. Well, sports writers (with the free PR they provide) help do just that.

Let me see if I understand this situation correctly.....
DD is an American citizen who has the Constitutional right to privacy (as he or anyone else determines the time and place) but just because he chooses 'not' to be subjected to the inquiries of a handful of arrogant, self centered,self serving 'so called journalists', he is a baby ?
I don't seem to recall hearing him doing the whinning.

Duval is @ 37th on the all-time all-inclusive (winnings, contracts, bonuses, etc.) money list for pro golf, and still pulls in @ $4M/yr for losing right now...it's his job and responsibility to do interviews and promote the sport, as he sold his on-course privacy (as do all pro athletes) for the $'s

David Duval wasn't blindsided in parking lot. He was asked to talk right outside the scorer's tent in the designated media area. He chose to led us into the parking lot.

As for paparazzi, that's the biggest joke in the world. David Duval's never come close to facing paparazzi. There were real paparazzi at the Bob Hope, following the real celebs, like Justin Timberlake and Michael Bolton. Athletes have it the easiest of any public figures by far in general. And David Duval in particular.

And Ron Mon, Dick Jauron is a horrible coach. Marv Levy lost his mind. It should be screamed from the rooftops of Buffalo.

Baldwin would fit right in, in Buffalo. We just hired Dick "no nickname" Jauron as our new Bills head coach, and already the local no-nothings/press are criticizing him. Now, Duval is no longer cut, nor involved with that marathon-running chick, so how is it that you athletic reporter brethren couldn't catch him?

Take a look at the press you have given him for saying nothing. Get off of your self and go find something to write about. As if he's the only guy there that you can try to get word from... Does the word paparazzi mean anything to you? Next thing you will be running him off the road for a story...
