"I can imagine that the world stopped for Tiger Woods advertisers when they first heard the news and that, literally, their hearts missed a beat," said ABC News sports consultant and USA Today sports columnist Christine Brennan.

I want everyone to contemplate the complete SHALLOWNESS of this statement from the airhead from the "McPaper".

Not a "Oh dear, I hope he is alright", but a "I hope my meal ticket is ok". Shameful McPaper.

Can’t think of one thing I have ever bought because it was endorsed by a “celebrity”.

Dropping the drawers can be a costly act.

I heard that he and his wife had an argument.If true,then he either decided to go out for a while and cool off or *she* needed to cool off and asked him to (told him to?) get lost.Assuming there were no assaults,threats of assaults,booze,drugs or disturbing the peace involved then it's no big deal.

who did I see pushing hearing aids the other day...was it some baseball player? They were even named after him. You sure you’re not tempted to run out and get those?

Sure. She was swinging a golf club, and he was unconscious when the cops arrived.

Why would anyone assume such things?

Even if there was an assault....We hear the question on cops all the time...”Do you want to press charges”?

Man you hit the nail on the head. Celebrity’s are like politicians. Most suck.

You were saying ...

I heard that he and his wife had an argument.If true,then he either decided to go out for a while and cool off or *she* needed to cool off and asked him to (told him to?) get lost.Assuming there were no assaults,threats of assaults,booze,drugs or disturbing the peace involved then it's no big deal.

Ummmm.., I think it was more like, "What's this in the National Inquirer?!" ... and then the fireworks happened... :-)

Wifey grabs the club, Tiger runs out the door, wifey smashes back-end of SUV, Tiger steps on it to get out of there, wifey running behind swinging the club, Tiger swerves and hits the fire hydrant and then the tree, tries to get out of the SUV, and wifey smacks him good and he's "out" on the pavement -- paramedics arrive shortly thereafter... LOL...

1 for Viking Kitty and 0 for Tiger... :-)

I never understood celebrity endorsements...and I really question if companies get the ‘bang for their buck’. Maybe for clothes...but razors, or Gatorade? I must be wrong, since celebrities keep doing endorsements.

‘who did I see pushing hearing aids the other day’

Lee Majors - formerly the $6 Million Man - that was actually a clever tie in with a celebrity that makes the product memorable....unlike the majority of celebrity endorsements, IMHO.

Look for blood on the club. There was none on the steering wheel. I think this is pretty much how it went down.
