Lynn you know how much i respect you, but you said......"for killing a bird".........

Please don't misquote me. I said "...for accidentally killing a bird."

And anyone who believes Tripp intentionally killed that bird -- with a golf ball from almost a football field away -- is looking to make a case where there is none.

Tripp Isenhour aimed at a bird a very long way away and had the great misfortune to hit it. A regrettable circumstance to be sure and one for which he is accountable. But . . .

It doesn't warrant destroying his career and life.
