Mickelson Just Wants His Way

Everyone has undoubtedly already heard of Man Boobs Mickelson's (that's for you Sooze ;)) plans to NOT play in this week's BMW Championship, the third leg of the FedEx Cup, but apparently, Phil isn't getting his way, and he ain't happy...

According to Mickelson, he has asked PGA Commissioner, Tim Finchem, to do some things regarding the FedEx Cup, and the Commish has failed to come through.

"I'm really torn, because I feel like there's an obligation for me to play," Mickelson said. "I'd be paired with Tiger again. I think it would be really great for the game and the tour and the FedEx Cup. Another part of me is really frustrated because for the past year, I've been asking the commissioner to do a couple of things, and I told him I would play the last four events, and he has not done that.

"So I'm kind of torn."

Well, how about some specifics Man Boobs? What do you want done? It's been reported that Phil isn't happy with, among other things, the deferred payment of the FedEx check and required Pro-Am participation. But what makes this story so bazaar, and frankly Phil's probably full of the worst kind of bullsh*t, is the fact that he claims that his not playing has absolutely nothing to do with making a point to anyone...If that's the case Man Boobs, then why did you even mention the whole Finchem doesn't love me like he does Tiger thing?...Why even stamp your feet and pound your fists? Why whine? Honestly...Why bring attention to your displeasure if your withdrawal has absolutely nothing to do with it. Did you want the attention that bad? I mean, for God's sake, Phil, you just beat the greatest player in the history of the game. People were happy for you. You were getting loads of attention, but I guess it wasn't enough. The Canadian Press really put it best by saying,

"Mickelson left everyone scratching their heads during an 18-hour mystery tour in which he beat Tiger Woods in a riveting battle outside Boston; used a national television interview to air his complaints about PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem; showed up in Chicago for a corporate outing; and withdrew from the BMW Championship by saying he wasn't trying to send a message."

Honestly Lefty...What the hell?

If you really aren't playing so that you can spend more time with your family, then that is beyond ok. Really, it is...But why not just say that?

Man Boobs Mickelson, I don't think I'll ever understand you...Have fun with the fam.
