Come on golf reporter, don't be an idiot!

Sometimes I think the media asks questions, just to heat themselves talk, I really do.  A little background; Rory McIlroy won the US Open yesterday by a record margain and with a record low total number of strokes.  Congratulations.  He also became the youngest player ever to win the US Open (21 years and some change).  Congratulations again.  Aside from just the win alone being amazing, or the record way in which he did it being amazing, it was a small shot of redemption following his Greg Norman/Jan Vandervelde-esque collapse at April's Masters.  Now for the meat of the issue with the media.  In his post-tournamet press conference, a reporter actually asked the following question, "With this win, do you think we can start talking about the 'Rory Slam' [a refernce to Tiger Woods "Tiger Slam" when he held at four majors at the same time but not in the same Calendar year] which would include next year's Masters, and some redemption for you?"  Are you freakin kidding me reporter?  Are you freakin kidding me??  That's the DUMBEST freakin question I have heard at a press conference in as long as I can remember.  You should not be allowed to ask questions ever again.  Can you let my man Rory enjoy ONE championship, before you start talking about him winning FOUR?!?!  Just cause you already have your 2012 Masters storyline written and you don't wanna have to write another one and, ya know, do your job, don't start forcing all this stuff on a 21 year old golfer.  The fact that you used your one post tournament question to ask that, shows how much of an idiot you are.  Now McIlroy answered the question, somehow.  But I think it would have been better if he had said something like this...
