Felger & Mazz: Thoughts on the Scottie Scheffler incident
The Felger and Mazz program give their thoughts on the Scottie Scheffler incident at the PGA Championship on Friday morning!
Thoughts on the situation….
Mazz: Why do I want to blame Scottie Scheffler for this? Can you tell me that? Why do I want to blame Scottie Scheffler?
Jim Murray: Well because he didn’t listen to the cop.
Mazz: Thank you.
Jim Murray: Unless different information comes out that proves otherwise, based on the police report that’s now online on Twitter and everything that Jeff Darlington just said, he deserved to get arrested.
Mazz: That’s how I feel. That’s how I feel. Like I look at it and say, and look I think we’ve all been in circumstances similar to this, the cop tells you to stop, Stop! What are you doing? Like this whole idea that I’m above the law and that you don’t have to play by the same rules as everybody else, what are you doing? What the hell are you doing?
Jim Murray: He sounded like a guy that didn’t want to wait, which look I get, but the cop tells you to stop, stop. And as I’ve gotten older like I’m now more of a hard liner on this kind of thing. I’ll sum it up with one word: Behave. Behave. Just behave. Cop told you to stop, stop. That’s it. You end up dragging him? You’re lucky I didn’t do anything worse to him.
Felger: I’m with you. Just let me give you a “yeah, but”. Can you give a guy a break for having a bad day? Or just losing his mind and having a bad moment?
Mazz: Scheffler, you mean?
Felger: Scheffler.
Mazz: I know, but all I’m saying is, because again there are going to be people who flip this the other way, say the same thing for the cop.
Jim Murray: If he really dragged the cop, if I did this, if anyone did this, I would expect a flurry of nightsticks to come raining down on my skull. Like, again, if that’s how this thing is, and that’s how the reporter report reads, Darlington was explaining it, so unless anything comes out otherwise, if you drag the cop, even if you’re going one mile an hour or going as fast as maybe a golf cart, you still dragged a cop.
