Re: T Woods Press Conference

I guess we all need to really look hard at why we idolize certain people. There are regular folks & stars that I admire because of their abilities or personality characteristics...but we have to keep it in perspective.. that my life should not be wrapped around someone else I have no influence over. ''Keeping it real'' really means being honest first & foremost with yourself.
Did Tiger owe the sports world an explaination? Maybe he could just say, ''I'm taking a break right now, to have some private time.'' If it were me, I to would limit the number of press people there, and no questions asked....in an attempt to get the press off my back.
So I'm a guilty coward? I'm guilty no matter how many times I say I'm sorry. Do 4 tear drops mean more sincerity than 3 tear drops? Yeah he's sorry...but for what reason? Will I feel more satisfied if I can grind him a little harder under my heel? Oh Well...sorry for the rant.

I feel the same. Now, if you are in the limelight, there is an expectation that one must live as a saint.

Re: T Woods Press Conference

That's true...either your a saint, or you can choose to put out that paradoxical rebel image, where the world forgives you for being a jerk, and allows you do to wrong!!! ??? Now you're considered cool.
Because you are known for being a nasty person, you are expected to continue that image, & if you live up to that nasty image......Well then that's ok.
Crazy Stupid world!...... Who was that wild basketball player with the different colored hair? I forgot his name....probably for good (negative) reasons?...... He was/is the bad guy of basketball? Perhaps Tiger should have gone that route! And you know what! Nike still would have given him something to endorse!.....ranting some more. Thanks >>DAN

Dennis Rodman... How about George Foreman, who remade himself.  Jeff Beck tells most of the world to piss off when he feels like it.  What expectations?  He's a golfer and a brilliant one.  Saint?  Harrumph?  Rules?  Double harrumph!  I'm an irascible curmudgeon a great deal of the time.  I still get more than I deserve.  tongue   Even crippled and brain damaged.  Triple Harrumph!

I think he's sorry, but it didn't come off that way.  He was overcoached.  BY Phonies.  You're all fired.  The rest of you can take a long walk off a short pier.  Rules change every 5 minutes.  The spirit of the law giveth life.  The letter of the law taketh away.  The press are predatory.  AND DISHONEST...I guess that makes it OK.

If he´s sorry -I think he´s rather angry-, why doesn´t he simply tell so his wife and shut up in order to meditate a bit about responsibility, respect and honesty. Nothing wrong about having 324 girl friends as long you stand for it - as for example Dennis Rodman. It´s Tiger´s little boy behaviour - as well the cheating as this I´m so sorry show- which is so pathetic.

I agree with you.  Pathetic is an excellent word for it.  It also covers most of the worlds reaction to it.  Poorly coached.

You know, the more I thought about this, I'll bet you could handle 323 (did we lose one?) girlfriends, right Günter? With that fantastic German engineering, you probably would have them all standing in a nice, straight line.  wink   lol

Re: T Woods Press Conference

Like most of us on here could even handle what we have.  roll

Before we wander too far off topic.  I still don't understand what the big deal is.  Does anyone think Elin didn't know?

My guess is unless you are worth as much as he is and look as good as he does, you have no call one way or the other.  The hypocrisy call?  Riiiight, throw the first stone?  We let fanatic polititians and amoral corporations lead us around by the nose and don't do **##.  Oh but we gonna beat up Tiger for getting him a lil nerve tonic?

BJ, Everyone knew! Although, Elin was probably the last to know. For goodness sakes, the guy is Tiger Woods, where was he going to go and not be recognized? And you know it was the talk of the Tour behind the locker room doors. And you're right about other people whether they be politicians or stars. Hey, let's face it, as far as sports in concerend, it's all entertainment, right?

Still, it does amaze me that he could keep all of these women stringing along, have a wife and children plus meet all of his other obligations, and STILL be the person to beat in his sport. Concentration? The guy must be a cold steel machine!

Re: T Woods Press Conference

From what I've heard from women who work at golf clubs, Professional Golfers are the most perverted scoundrels ever to do business with. They have never been hit on, had their **** grabbed, or been be-littled so many times in a day than when they are near pro golfers. This is a common attitude towards them from people constantly exposed to them.

If we can assume this is true (and I do), then Tiger Woods is not the only one. Most if not all pro golfers must do this sort of thing at some level. Even if it just with waitresses or cocktail staff. I heard they are pigs.

What separates Tiger from all the rest is that the ENTIRE WORLD knows when Tigers sneezes, so anything he does is amplified exponentially. The other pro golfers can thank him for "jumping on the bomb" or "taking one for the team."

Boo, I say... boo!

Gosh Nic, and it's a good thing we're not like that, hey?

Don't answer that!  wink

You are right though. There were several articles a while back that explained just like other sports and entertainment, there are "groupies" that follow the pro Tour around. Hey, young guys making lots of money who are for the most part, alone on the road. Lots of temptation to be had, but like anything else, it's how each individual handles it.

Re: T Woods Press Conference

This is a little off topic... but, hot off the UK press..

The wife of the Chelsea and England football player, Cheryl Cole, has just kicked her husband Ashley Cole to the curb.... for messing about with other women... and not for the first time. Good for Cheryl I say.... she should have kicked him out the first time Ashley cheated.

She may have missed that lesson from Trophy Wife 101...but I don't think so. She knew she had a Tiger by the tail, it goes along with the Billion Dollar lifestyle. Would she have married him if he was the chief ball washer on the PGA tour???  tongue
