Payback for Casey

I don’t know about you, but I’m really tuned in to the Sony Open for Paul Casey’s 2005 debut on the PGA Tour. Casey, of course, is the Brit who called Americans “stupid” and “annoying” after the Ryder Cup. As if beating the U.S. wasn’t enough.

I don’t usually pay much attention to these things – pro athletes are always shooting their mouths off and it’s usually fairly adolescent stuff – but this one sticks in my craw for some reason.

For the record, I’d like for Americans to show Casey how they feel about his attitude toward America – where he got his college education and where he earns most of his money. Nothing too drastic, I’d just like to see some minor payback. How about this: A big, burly biker wearing an American flag dumping a warm can of Budweiser on his head? Or a Honolulu housewife throwing an apple pie in his face? Maybe some super-glue on his 3-wood? Then we can call it even and shake hands all around.

What I’d really like to see is Michelle Wie beating him on the course, but the above scenarios are more likely to happen.
