And so it begins. Poor guy has no one but himself to blame. He had it all and wanted more.

Hmmm...I had heard that drink could put lead in your pencil. Perhaps too much lead...

I guess the marketing department didn't like the idea of selling it as an aphrodisiac.

Thanks.

This will likely be just one of many opportunities afforded.

I hope Tiger had good investment advice.

Gatorade dropped the Tiger Focus effort when test studies reveled subjects began having intercourse with bimbos on top of their cars in Church parking lots.

The emails must be having an effect....their response to me:

Thanks for contacting us and letting us know your feelings about Tiger Woods. You can be certain that we value your comments and, equally, the constructive spirit in which they’re offered.

We want you to know that our partnership continues and that Tiger and his family have our support as they work through this private matter.

Again thanks for your comments. They will be shared with our brand team as Gatorade takes the utmost pride in our sponsorships, whether with a team, organization, or individual athlete.

Heck, I would think that would be a selling point.

He’s juggling 10 women at once AND the best golfer in the world?

I’d think a sports drink would build and entire ad campaign around that!

Woods has earned this failure and all of the disdain he’s going to experience.

So, will Obama have Woods and his wife over for a “teaching moment” beer?

#####

Yes, but he could not graduate to simple good husband and father.

A MUCH higher rank, than serial adulterer and merely the best golfer in the world.

"A Gatorade spokesperson said the decision had absolutely nothing to do with the recent scandals involving Tiger Wood's car crash and alleged marital affairs."

Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi is the CEO of Pepsi. She's the one that defined America with her fingers a few years ago, so I'm surprised that all of a sudden vulgar activity is so unacceptable.
