The real tragedy here is Tiger Woods wipes the Austin Terrorist off the front pages and from the important news of the day.
Even our own talk radio. I turn on Rush and he’s talking Tiger. I turn him back on 30 min later, still Tiger. Tried again 1 hour and 15 min into his program, still Tiger. You know Hannity will do the same, as will others.
He must have hired the best script writer he could find. I still don’t believe a word of it.
He is just following the standard Hollywood outline.
Get famous.
Live like a pig.
When caught, go to rehab so you have something to blame your actions on.
Come out and cry a little.
Get on with business as usual.
Nope.
Who cares what Tiger Woods does or doesn’t do? It does not affect me in the least. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see that dirtball any more than I would, to see the poser Obama and his cast of characters.
Surely you are being sarcastic. No, nothing this extremely sleazy happens to the best of us. Tiger Woods is a sociopath. He conned his wife and mistresses, including alleged group sex and a porn actress, and had some of these women in his home when Elin was away. He practiced unsafe sex with no regard to his family and mocked his wife.
Maybe he used steroids, as the LA Times implied.
Does anyone have that picture of him looking like a real thug? Sorry, but that’s how I will continue to see him. As he looked in that shot.
***important news of the day***
Megyn Kelly was interrogating Gloria Allred about her *client* & when Megyn confronted Allred about filing a lawsuit for money - Allred was actually speechless for a good 30 seconds - she mumbled that the mistress is ‘not going to sue for money’ but simply wants a ‘private apology’ because she was told by the married Tiger, who pursued her, that he only loved her and Elin.
You couldn’t make this stuff up. Pathetic.
Ditto that.
Phony crocodile tears.
Actually, I'm thankful he got Obama off the TV for a while. :)
a Gloria Allred exists and we talk Tiger ?
just sayin
Wonder why he doesn’t like black women?
To me, it seems a sincere and forthright apology, that I don’t think he even owed anyone.

Take it one step further than you have. Why has he made an apology to the world that the world is not owed?
My answer. It’s what he needs to do to get his sponsors back, or at least to get a new crew of sponsors to back him. And part of that will be to get better favorables in polls from the general public.
He did?
he cheated on the cheated or cheatees which is it.
sounds good to me, but why am i here
i think we need some type of distractions to know that we are all shot
He cheated on his girlfriends with his mistresses, and oh yeah, on his wife too.
“Take it one step further than you have. Why has he made an apology to the world that the world is not owed?”
This could devolve into a philosophical discussion about what constitutes ‘the completely selfless act’.
Unless you are unwilling to stipulate that there may have been other motives in addition to the commerically self-interested one you brought up, then there isn’t much to discuss.
I’d certainly agree that AMONG his motivations there were commercially self interested ones. I would also point out that certain people take their commercial commitments seriously, and at the time he was drawing an artificial and delusional line between his conduct in private life, and what he owed his business partners in terms of his public image.
He’s not the first guy in entertainment to cross that line, and he’s one of the few man enough to try to repair that commercial breach with a humiliating public apology.
Newt Gingrich did far worse, in my opinion, and has yet to apologize. I like Newt, but Tiger apologized. If it is the appearance and the fact of impropriety that is the standard here, certainly Newt and other politicians violate that on a daily basis.
I’m not seeing a line form behind Charlie Rangel to resign Congress, for example, for violating that particular standard, and before we start pointing out that Rangel is a liberal, there are plenty of so-called R’s that are in current violation of appearances of impropriety.
Is he motivated by self interest - to be sure, but I think it is just one aspect of his motivation for subjecting himself to this.
He has my respect, and I suppose his actions going forward will bear out either my gullability or support my belief that despite our weaknesses we all have the ability to learn from our idiocy.
Big Earl must be turning in his grave - or is this like father like son...?
Tiger needs less counseling and more fading away...go play golf in Sweden or Tibet...
Same here about “Tigger”. I never like him either.
Before any of this, his reputation for ignoring fans, not signing autographs, never tipping and expecting always to be comped says everything you need to know about this arrogant, selfish, cheap and entitled jerk.
That he fakes a “family man” image for corporate success while carrying on with pornstars is just icing on the cake.

Yes it is. Like father like son. Also, Woods has never gotten over hero worship of daddy and grown up.
Apparently Woods likes to intimidate his fellow players. If I was in his group and wanting to put in the needle I would ask him:
“So, was your daddy a lowlife like you, or did you learn all that by your own self?”
The only thing that shocks me is the fact that a few golf announcers didn’t make the list of bimbos. Some of the guys on CBS have serious man-crushes on him.
