At the HSBC Championship earlier today, Patrick Reed was less than pleased with is putting efforts and was drawn to alliteration in a rather-loud outburst of self-chatter...
The PGA Tour instantly didn't like it:
“The PGA Tour Conduct Unbecoming regulations prohibit the use of obscene language on the golf course. The PGA Tour will deal with this matter internally in accordance with its regulations.”
Reed will be fined and he apologized for the outburst on his Twitter feed.

OSG Prem: No Apology From Mourinho On Wenger Remarks
((HT: youtube))
With Chelsea and Arsenal going at it this weekend in the Premier League, the press conferences are flying around between Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Chelsea's chosen one...
Mourinho is still hot that the Spanish national squad called up Diego Costa, so he has that to worry about in a week's time. But he also is not offering up an apology for these comments late last year from February.
The HQ likes it when they dig at each other overseas and it comes out like that.
Mourinho, for the record, is not backing down from his assessment.
"It was a consequence of something," Mourinho said when asked. "It was not a deliberate first option to say something. I didn't get an apology. I don't apologise."
And don't ever expect one...

Under-20 Tourney Gets Ugly Between Northern Ireland And Mexico
((HT: Youtube/BBC Sport Ireland))
The Milk Cup is a tournament played in Ireland on a yearly basis and this year's tourney will only be remembered for this brawl that broke out between the two nations in the box.
Especially, after what the Mexico national player does at the end of the scrum
Northern Ireland won 2-1, but four players were sent off after the two fights and the match was called four minutes early by the lead official because of all the stuff going on.
Northern Ireland manager Stephen Craigan told the BBC:
"It was not nice. There were young kids here from around the world. They were here to watch a football match; they do not expect to see that. Mexico did it last year - they had a man sent off for punching. They have a history of it. I have to be careful what I say, but I would like to think Mexico will not be back at the Milk Cup."
The Mexico squad has since apologized...

Wondo Back On The Mainland, Still Apologizing
((HT: CSN Bay Area))
And he is still apologizing for what went down against Belgium
Remember, San Jose Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski took to Twitter and apologized for his miss that could have sent the USMNT to the quarters to play Argentina.
I'm gutted to have let down everyone but especially my teammates. It's been an incredible ride but I know this will make me stronger.
Thank you to all the great fans that has supported this wonderful team. This is a special group made up of great teammates
Now, that he's back here in the States to get the Quakes out of the bottom of the Western Conference standings in MLS, Wondo is thinking that what went down will only make him stronger as a player.
The HQ wasn't all that cool with people turning him into a verb, but we hope he is right.
And he doesn't need to apologize for anything, but it is our way...

And On Day 3, Steve Coburn Apologizes
((HT: GMA on ABC))
Steve Coburn, co-owner of California Chrome, has finally decided to fall on his sword and listen to his wife.
She was the one who tried to get him to pipe down and not talk about only running in one or two of the Triple Crown races as the "coward's way out" in winning important horse races.
Chrome tied for fourth along with Wicked Strong. Coburn was hot under his bolo tie and was adamant about his comments the next day in an interview with Lindsay Cazrniak.
Monday, perhaps understanding that the horse and stable legacy was hanging in the balance, he went on air with Robin Roberts to do a 180- which was a wise move.
Here's the sit down with Coburn

Head Of USA Swimming Finally Apologizes To Sexually Abused Swimmers
((HT: ABC News))
The head of USA Swimming, Chuck Wielgus, finally apologized for past sexual abuses that fell under his watch as the country's head of sport.
In an interview with Brian Ross, back in 2010, he was asked if he should apologize for dozens of sexual abuse cases that involved USA Swim-sanctioned coaches and underage girls. His response didn't go over well
There was a petition that started to circulate asking for his nomination to the International Swimming Hall of Fame be rescinded because of his lack of action. He withdrew and now is saying he should have done more.
Wielgus has since come out and apologized in his blog that's titled: I'm Sorry
It includes this passage...
Now, when I look back and see how far we’ve come as an organization, I also recognize how far I have come. Before 2010, I knew so little about the issues of sexual abuse in our society. Today, I have a first-hand understanding for just how widespread and devastating the problem is.
The statistics (by the age of 18, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused) were previously just numbers. As I listened to personal stories the statistics began to hit home to me. These weren’t just facts, there were real people. Sadly, I now understand how under-reported sexual abuse is and I think of those who continue to suffer.
It will be interesting to see just how serious USA Swimming is from this moment on.

Ron MacLean Apologizes For HNIC Comments
((HT: CBC News))
First... tell the HQ what you think about this segment...
Well, if one of the best in the business offended you, Ron MacLean has apologized...
Coming from a referee like MacLean, the remarks were surprising.
And FOSG Elliotte Friedman was on set with him- and disagreed...
The reaction among French-speaking and separatist Canadians was somewhat expected:
An example from the Journal de Montreal op-ed piece by Rejean Tremblay...translated...
Well then, it should be forbidden to have a "Canadian" referee a game Maple Leafs or Canucks? And an American officer should not during a match between a Canadian team to an American team? Or, would be the finest of racial discrimination and prohibit a native referee Minnesota work in a game of Wild? But then, what do we do with an Albertan and Oilers and Flames? You know that in these cases, the question does not arise.
Because for MacLean, the "Canadian" or Ontarian Dave Jackson or even an English Montreal are part of the superior race. They therefore intelligence and control of their emotions that guarantee the quality of their work. While the poor little French, he is subject to the call of the tribe.
And fan mail was somewhat hot in places...from one such letter in the Montreal Gazette:
Ron MacLean’s comments regarding the inappropriate use of French referees in the Montreal Canadiens vs. Tampa Bay game was insulting to all Canadians who respect diversity and who live in a country that claims this as a value.
To think our so-called national broadcaster allows such divisive rhetoric is deplorable and just reinforces the fact that the CBC should have its funding cut (even though I do not support the political reasons the government uses to justify its cuts).
So, what say you about the comments... faithful reader...???

Oscar Pistorius Trial Day 17: He Takes The Stand
((HT: SABC Digital News))
As was the plan by the defense, Oscar Pistorius took the stand and apologized to the Steenkamp family for everything they have gone through since her death.
He showed up in Session two today...
Pistorius has maintained that he mistook his girlfriend as an intruder when he fired into the bathroom in his home Valentine's Day of 2013. Attorney Barry Roux walked the courtroom through his life in an attempt to counter the angry individual portrayed by the prosecution during their section of the proceedings. The defense also portrayed a fearful Pistorius was the reason he carried guns as a part of his daily life.
Court was adjourned while Pistorius was on the stand since the judge admitted Pistorius looked exhausted.

Bielema Apologizes, Sandy Barbour Explodes
((HT: ESPN/Arkansas Razorbacks))
Here's where it all started with Bret Bielema...
And it finally got to the point where Coach Bielema apologized (finally) for dragging the name of deceased Cal football player Ted Agu into the discussion that said, in part:
"In my press conference last night, I referenced information about the tragic loss of a life of a student-athlete. My comments were intended to bring awareness to player safety and instead they have caused unintended hurt. As a head coach who works with young individuals every day, the passing of Ted Agu is a reminder to us all how short and precious life is. I would like to extend my deepest condolences and sympathy to the Agu family, Coach Sonny Dykes and to the University of California family."
Cal AD Sandy Barbour responded in kind via her Twitter:
"Bret Bielema’s comments about our Ted Agu are misinformed, ill-advised and beyond insensitive.”
“Using the tragic loss of one of our student athletes as a platform to further a personal agenda in a public setting is beyond inappropriate.”
Bielema even went further in a ridiculous interview before the apology discussing why he brought Agu into the discussion...
From Sports Illustrated:
"The reason I brought up the Cal player is this: We all have sickle cell players. To me, it's the most scary individual thing we face. There are no signs. There are no indicators. You test every one of your players when they come in. And there are players who come in that have no idea they have it. Then you've got to call the parents, sit the kid down and talk to them what it means -- what the possibilities of things happening are. It's a scary deal..."
Bielema's interview in SI is mandatory reading for its silliness and stupidity over the idea of clock stoppages and instant diagnoses of athletes physical problems...
Oh...
Arkansas has their season opener at Auburn...
How do you think that will go...???
Kinda like this...???

Rick Ray Apologizes For Snap At Henderson

First, let's show you what happens when Ole Miss plays Mississippi State...
It's never very nice, and now it has carried over to basketball...
The HQ thinks there's an expletive in slo-mo here when State coach Rick Ray goes after Marshall Henderson
Whatever was said, Ray has responded to it:
"I responded inappropriately to an Ole Miss player [Saturday] in our game," Ray said in a statement he texted Sunday. "I reached out to [Ole Miss] coach [Andy] Kennedy immediately to apologize and subsequently to the player too. There is no reason for a coach to ever have interaction with an opposing player, ever, regardless of the circumstances. I was more upset with our performance than the player. I was totally at fault."
The season series was, once again, split at home and home...

McCaffrey Apologizes For Epic Nutty
((HT: ESPN/Katz))
Let's start by showing you what went down in the loss to Wisconsin...
He officially apologized and AD Gary Barta came out with a prepared statement...
"I've met with Coach McCaffery regarding last night's ejection from the game in Madison. He knows he crossed a line of acceptable behavior and accepts responsibility for his actions.
"All staff at the University of Iowa fully support the Big Ten Conference's sportsmanship policy's fundamental elements, including civility and respect toward opponents and game officials. Fran has my full support moving forward."
McCaffrey talked to Andy Katz:
"There were a couple of calls there that I had taken exception to and felt like 'I gotta change this thing a little bit.' I got the T. The thing that I regret was getting the second T. I didn't want to get the second T. It was not my intention and it impacted the game in a way that wasn't good for our team.
"Anytime a coach does something like that, you feel horrible about it because you don't ever want to do anything other than to help your team win a game. I felt like we needed a shift -- we needed something to change -- and my intention was to do that but not get the second T. I feel terrible about that."

"I am truly sorry for what I said. It was wrong and those words do not represent who I am and what I believe in. I apologize for the embarrassment I caused for Colorado State University, this team & my family."
The fallout from this will be interesting, but wholly unknown at present...

Chamblee Apologizes For Column, Resigns Golf Mag Gig...
((HT: Golf Channel))
Brandel Chamblee has caught a hell's worth of hell from the Tiger Woods camp over the assertion that his 2013 game gets an "F" grade over the liberties Chamblee thought Woods was taking with the rules on multiple occasions this season...
Chamblee thought Woods was better than that...
Apparently, not...
Here's what he wrote in an online column that got him all the heat from Woods, Sean Foley, and anyone else in Tiger's camp:
"When I was in the fourth grade, I cheated on a math test and when I got the paper back it had '100' written at the top, and just below the grade was this quote: 'Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!'" Chamblee wrote. "It was an oft-quoted line from the epic poem 'Marmion' by Sir Walter Scott, and my teacher's message was clear. Written once more beneath that quote was my grade of '100,' but this time with a line drawn through it and beneath that an F. I never did ask my teacher how she knew I cheated and I certainly didn't protest the grade. I knew I had done the wrong thing and my teacher the right, but I never forgot the way I felt when I read that quote.
"I remember when we only talked about Tiger's golf. I miss those days. He won five times and contended in majors and won the Vardon Trophy and ... how shall we say this ... was a little cavalier with the rules."
Chamblee gave Tiger a 100 grade, but an "F" overall...
He then Tweeted an apology a week ago: "Golf is a gentleman's game and I'm not proud of this debate. I want to apologize to Tiger for this incited discourse."
"My intention was to note Tiger's rules infractions this year, but comparing that to cheating in grade school went too far."
Here's Chamblee's discussion of his words on the page...
So, now Chamblee will not write for Golf Magazine, but he will still do his duties for Golf Channel and NBC...
And Woods says that the "next move" in moving past this incident is up to the Golf Channel...
Whatever that means...

Head football coach at Florida State, Jimbo Fisher, used a not-so-cool word when describing the Bee-Cee-Ess...
His poor word choice was saying the process is "retarded..."
The early returns are below...
The subsequent firestorm is understandable, yet not so from someone with a special needs child...
And the opinions are flashed from both sides- everything from people needing not to be so wrapped up in political correctness to wanting Fisher's head on a platter...
Fisher immediately apologized and is catching the commensurate amount of hell...
