Good post, but I’d suggest that the media is very much what it always has been. The press knew about JFK, but covered it up. Dittos for other sports figures.

Where are you coming from????

You are attributing accusations where there are none. Did you not read what I said? “Neither of us know.”

I could easily suggest from your posts that you support cheating in marriage and that anyone who condemns infidelity is hateful....but I won’t. That’s not what you said and it wouldn’t be fair of me.

Are you bitter about something that makes you take this out on me, a perfect stranger? I hear a passive, aggressive tone to your posts — and I doubt venting on me will relieve that. Tomorrow, it will be someone else.

Divorce is messy, painful and hurtful. I wish we could avoid it at all costs. Is that reality? Of course not.... Are all divorced people evil? Again, of course not. But does divorce hurt, wound and inflict pain? We’re blind if we pretend that’s not the case.

I think the person who should have been concerned about his wife and kids was Tiger Woods, BUT I think you know that.

He is the one who put them in this position, not the media, and not the Freerepublic.

Typical liberal tactic to try to avoid responsibility for ones one actions and hero worship to boot.

My admiration for Tiger is undiminished. He messed up, for sure. So what’s that to us? He’ll learn from his mistakes and face up to the consequences. Cheating on your wife is very wrong but can you imagine the pressure and temptations he’s faced?

Here is a reason to love Tiger. Have you seen the speech he gave at Obama’s inauguration:

Tell you what, let him continue golf and you can watch some other channel.......ok?

That's fine with me since I didn't watch the spoiled brat to begin with. I don't really care how many skanks with bugs he screws.

If the sponsors want to waste money on a phoney that's also fine with me. I don't have to spend any money with them either.

He married Barbara Woods Gary (May 18, 1954, in Abilene, Kansas). Before their divorce (1968 in Ciudad Juárez, 1972 in California), they had three children: Earl Dennison Jr. called Denny (1955), Kevin Dale (1957), and Royce Renee (1961).

Woods met his future second wife in Asia. Kultida “Tida” Woods has Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry. They married on or around July 11, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York, and she bore Woods’ fourth child, Eldrick on December 30, 1975.

I CHEATED TO MAKE TIGER KING OF THE JUNGLE; SAYS EARL WOODS

Tiger may have become “America’s son” but he is still very much Earl’s boy. Father and son make a remarkable twosome.

Earl, 65, and on the mend from a triple heart bypass in February, says: “He really does Warren Trotter, better known as Really Doe, is an American rapper from Chicago, Illinois. He is affiliated with Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music family and label.

“He recognises there is lot more to be done in his life and that I’m suppose to be there to participate.”

Tiger is equally devoted to his mother, Kultida, 54. But it is the chemistry between Tiger and Earl that is compelling. They share a closeness many fathers and sons never have.

Earl admits he hasn’t always been the perfect parent. Born in Kansas, he joined the Army in 1954 and served as a Green Beret in Vietnam before becoming a lieutenant colonel.

But his absences weren’t greeted with delight by his first wife Barbara and their three children. “I was not there and I would return and see three totally different children,” he says with sadness.

“I learnt from my mistakes. Tiger was lucky in that I was there for him 100 per cent.”

Earl divorced Barbara in 1969 and in 1975 married Kultida Punsawad, an Army secretary he met while stationed in Bangkok.

From the start there was a bond, forged by Earl’s belief his child was destined for greatness and
how 10-month-old Tiger hopped from his high chair and started mimicking his dad’s golf swing.

Earl says: “I promised myself I would make two contributions to his golf game - course management and mental toughness, the latter a product of my years as a Green Beret.”

The lessons in course management taught Tiger to identify and evaluate his alternatives and choose the right one to be successful.

Then, in his 12th year it was time for him to go through the Woods’ Finishing School fin·ish·ing school
n.
A private girls’ school that stresses training in cultural subjects and social activities.

“My plan was to put Tiger through some rigorous training in mental toughness.

“The ground rules were simple. If at any time he wanted the training to end he would just mention the code word and that would be it. There were no other rules - everything goes and he could say nothing in response.

“I do not recommend it for every parent because you must know your child’s disposition and tolerance level. The sort of training I put Tiger through might be counter-productive and alienating with another child.

“With Tiger, there was never any guesswork. I knew how much he could take. So I pulled every nasty, dirty, obnoxious trick on my son every week.

“I dropped a bag of bricks at the impact of his swing. I imitated a crow’s voice while he was stroking a putt. When he was ready to hit a shot, I would toss a ball in front of him.

“I would stand in his sight and move when he was about to hit the ball. I would cough as he took the club back and say ‘Don’t hit it in the water’. Those weren’t nice things I did.

“I played with his mind and, don’t forget, he was not permitted to say a word.

“Sometimes he got so angry he would stop his club on the downward swing and glare at me. I taught him every little trick that an opponent could possibly pull on him in matchplay - and some I invented myself.

“I even - and I’m not proud to say it - cheated, just to get some reaction from him because somewhere down the line somebody was going to do it with him.

“Tiger told me later it was the most difficult time of his entire life. There were times he was so angry he wanted to destroy his clubs.

“He never forgot it was for his benefit alone, but he wouldn’t have wished this training on any other human being.

“It was equally tough on me. Some things I did didn’t fill me with joy, either. But he learned and became mentally tough.”

So far Earl’s methods haven’t left any scars. Mark O’Meara Mark Francis O’Meara (born January 13, 1957) is a professional golfer who was a prolific tournament winner on the PGA Tour and around the world from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. In 2007 he entered his first season on the Champions Tour. , practice pal and friend of Tiger says: “A couple of times Tiger has brought up the military experience his father had - a toughness, the fighter in him. Tiger feels like he has inherited some of that.”

They might be lying low at the moment, but Tiger Woods still has his doubters.

They aren’t necessarily jealous people, or even cynics, probably from their manners and their meeting place, the Cynosarges, an academy for Athenian youths], ancient school of philosophy founded c.440 B.C. by Antisthenes, a disciple of Socrates. , just hard cases who have seen golf slaughter its young.

Many felt disappointment when he didn’t win last month’s US Open.

How could someone so brilliant not whip the world- class field?

O’Meara added: “The sign of a champion is how he bounces back.”

Aren't we now concerned about the wife and children or would you rather see more pics of the chicks?

Maybe TIGER should have thought about that when he was screwing them! It's NEWS, whether you like it or not, when a billion dollar golfer, with a mister goody two shoes, clean cut imagine, screws porn stars and just about anything, including skanks carrying bugs, that walks!

If she hit him with an iron his face would have been seriously rearranged

We haven't seen his face but we do know that Tiger was intubated at the hospital to help him breath which isn't done just for the heck of it.

Tiger Woods was drinking before he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a tree outside his tony Orlando, Fla., neighborhood two weeks ago, according to a witness who also told authorities Woods had been prescribed the medications Ambien and Vicodin.

The witness told the Florida Highway Patrol that Woods boozed the same day of the Nov. 27 crash, the Orlando Sentinel reported, an allegation that led police to believe “impairment” was partially to blame in the collision, which new sources say left Woods intubated in intensive care.

The witness who dished on Woods’ drinking has not yet been named by the police, but an FHP report says the same witness who told authorities Woods had been drinking also “removed the driver from the vehicle” after the crash. Wife Elin Nordegren Woods told police she pulled her husband from the car.

ICU doctors intubated Woods to relieve unstable breathing

When Tiger Woods was brought to the Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Fla., his condition was more serious than previously reported. According to a person with knowledge of Woods’ hospital admission, the star golfer had to be admitted directly to the hospital’s intensive care unit, where he was immediately intubated and his breathing stabilized.

Also, there’s clarification about the police interview with Woods’ neighbors, who called 911. At the time of the 911 call, neighbor Jarius Lavar Adams told dispatchers that Woods was asleep on the lawn, snoring. “Although the body can snore in any state of unconsciousness, it’s unlikely he was snoring,” said the source. “That was the sound of an airway that wasn’t stable. That’s part of the reason there was an intubation when he got to the hospital.”

After Woods underwent treatment, he was extubated, then immediately released home. One physician from the hospital said that discharging a patient directly to his home after being admitted to the ICU was “highly unusual.” The doctor, who did not treat Woods, said standard protocol “usually involves some sort of step-down — if your condition is serious enough to be admitted to ICU, you don’t go straight home. It points to some extreme privacy measures being taken for that decision to be made.”

Who is to say his dad didn't know about any of this?

Of course he could have known. He can't speak for himself any more. I have always wanted my kids to be the best they could be. I hope and pray they will always be moral adults. As far as I know right now, the old man was honorable.

After all, he was the one who built 'Tiger' the name from three years old. That is kind of whoring out your son & riding the gravy train if you ask me.

A man can build anything he likes. If Tiger wasn't winning one tournament after another after another i.e. if he was just a journeyman or worse, none of this would have made the news.

I think the old man had an interesting life if I can recall. He was a Green Beret, I think, and served multiple tours in Vietnam, again, I think. I thought he named Tiger after some Vietnamese blood brother of sorts. There may be a history there as well. I just don't know. As far as I know, the old man was the once and future honorable man.

And the color of his skin certainly gave him a place to start.

I don't think Tiger has any Eskimo blood in him. I'm pretty sure he also doesn't have any Indian (dot, not feather) blood, and none from the Mayans. I don't much other stock was missed.

There are some fantastic black golfers in this area but they don't have the PR machine & money backing that Tiger's dad created for him.

If Dad was rich, I'm not sure of the source. Tiger's PR machine is the PGA. I bet today they would like 'overs.'

Who can really speak for another? I haven't been into hero worship since I turned about sixteen. Perhaps the acorn in this case fell near the root. I just don't know. Perhaps it's just a case of way to much cash before maturity.
