Why does Jim Rome hate Phil Mickelson? Everyday on his show he is making his Hefty remarks or some reference to Mickelson's girth. The dude may be carrying a couple extra pounds but it is not like he is obese. Did Mickelson steal his girl friend at on time or what gives? They are both SO Cal guys so I don't get it. I totally get the Ashlee Simpson bashing but I must be missing something with Mickelson.
