    Miller apologizes in NBC statement for comments on Mediate

    Associated Press

    Updated: June 21, 2008, 11:52 AM ET

    NEW YORK -- NBC Sports golf analyst Johnny Miller apologized for his description of U.S. Open runner-up Rocco Mediate , saying the comments had "absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity."

    Mediate, a 45-year-old Pennsylvanian of Italian heritage, held a one-stroke lead over Tiger Woods during the fourth round Sunday. Miller said Mediate "looks like the guy who cleans Tiger's swimming pool." He also said, "Guys with the name 'Rocco' don't get on the trophy, do they?"

    "I apologize to anyone who was offended by my remarks," Miller said in a statement Friday through NBC. "My intention was to convey my affection and admiration for Rocco's everyman qualities and had absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity. I chose my words poorly and in the future will be more careful."

    Woods beat Mediate in a playoff that lasted 19 holes for his third U.S. Open title.

    Sunday's fourth round on NBC drew a 7.5 national rating and 17 share. It was the highest rating for a U.S. Open since 2002 and a 17 percent increase over the 6.4 last year.

    The first two hours of Monday's playoff drew the highest cable rating ever for golf with a 4.2 on ESPN. The rating is the percentage watching a program among homes with televisions, and the share is the percentage tuned into the broadcast among those households with TVs on at the time.

    I always hope Jonny Miller will do something like this or worse so we wont have to see or listen to how good he was.

    Did you hear the comments from the same commentary booth about Camilo Villegas? They said he looked like he should be painting someones house. Unreal!

    Faldo rules!!

    I love Miller candor, but sometimes he just goes overboard.

    there is no doubt that Miller has amazing insight into the game, but he comes off like a conceited jerk ... I like Nick Faldo a lot better, but I'll watch Miller when he's on ... I just ignore the stupid comments and write them off to a guy that's trying a bit too hard to be entertaining ... 

    If you're not having fun, lower your standards.

    Steve Gribin's latest entry sums up my feelings on this issue - well said.

    "The purpose of life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others. Only then have we ourselves become true human beings." ~ Albert Schweitzer
