Just last week at the US Open, NBC golf analyst Johnny Miller drew the ire of many with a pair of ill-advised comments directed towards American-born Rocco Mediate.

Mediate, who finished second in an 18-hole playoff with Tiger Woods on Monday, is of Italian heritage, and to Miller, "looks like the guy who cleans Tiger's swimming pool."

Later in the Sunday round, Miller was quoted as saying "Guys with the name 'Rocco' don't get on the trophy."

On Friday, Miller and NBC issued a statement regarding the comments.

"I apologize to anyone who was offended by the remarks," he said. "My intention was to convey my affection and admiration for Rocco's everyman qualities and had absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity."
