Big fat hairy deal, just another meltdown by another overpaid overadulated entertainer.
-
he is going to say he is sorry and that he is ready to play golf again.
-
More like, who cares?

Bingo! I already placed a bet saying he wins the Masters :aok

Banshee...I hope it was not much.
That's all I heard today at the golf course while I was o the range. Everyone speculating what tiger will say. I'm like a couple others here....who gives a S***.
If he plays again this year fine...if he doesn't fine. If he says he's done for good fine. All you'll hear is "Im sorry" and he'll make some excuse about it. I wasn't loved enough. To much temptation from being a star. My dad did it. I have a sex disease. Same ole crap you hear from people in the lime light.
Very few ever come out and just say I screwed up. No excuse. Just me...totally my fault cause I thought I could get away with it. Nothing. always some "reason" why they did it.
Personally I don't care what he has to say.
I'll be playing golf for the 4th day in a row...enjoying the sun and nice temps. And not one thought will go through my mind about what tiger has to say.
-
He's a fallen angel, he's done in the sport and doesn't realize it yet.
No one cares for the most part, he had his chance and he screwed it up.
Go back to your gated community, get drunk, old and fat.
-
He's going to apologize for his actions and discuss his "addiction" to sex. :rolleyes:
We're all going to say Awwwww how sad and forget it after he returns to golf and conquers his demon.
Just like hollywood they get caught go to rehab and everything is fine. :angel:

wgafs. I mean really?

Who cares? The PGA Tour, the sponsors, and the fans. Ratings are down 57% at the Accenture match-play this year without Tiger in the field. Weekend golf ratings were down 47% in 2008 when Tiger was out with an injury. Those are some big numbers. It would be as if half of the NBA fans stopped watching when Michael Jordan left the NBA in 1993 to play baseball.
Granted, the media kerfuffle over this over whole thing has been ridiculous overkill but it's pretty rare that one athlete is such a big part of his sport.
-
hes a really good golfer so people should care about his golf.
why so many seemed so compelled to care about and judge famous people's personal lives I will never understand..
I guess to many its "HA see your no better than me!! you stuck at life!! I feel better now"

and that's why golf is screwed up. To me watching golf was more interesting without him. Even when he is 10 stokes behind they constantly talk about him as if he were in the mix. I don't think it's fair to the other players or the leaders when their achievements always seem to be over shadowed by how Tiger's playing no matter how bad . The fact of the matter is the dude got his way on everything for too long and he brought it into his marrage. Finally someone stopped catering to him and unfortunatly it took his wife to put him in his place. I never have liked Tiger, I always thought he was talking out of the side of his mouth when being interviewed , I never liked his childish anger displays when playing bad and I never liked the way golf revolved around him. It's not good for any sport to put so much emphisis in one guy and your seeing the result in golf's ratings because of it. I think the sport would settle down if he decides to take an extended break and that it would be better for the game if he did. A year or 2 without Tiger the fans would start focusing on the game more rather then the icon.

Yea, i do agree on that. Ever since he showed up, people suddenly what to be like him. There is one good thing about him is that golf became more popular since he showed up. Now who know where it is going.

I'd rather watch paint dry or a bowling tournament...at least it's not costing me anything, won't be in the news ad nauseum and won't interrupt anything on the boob toob that I really want to watch.
The only places they should build golf courses are areas that are not usable for anything else, 7 mile island and chernobyl for example.

Many don't feel compelled...until said star makes it that way. When the man says on many occasions that his family will always come first and has been cheating the whole time he was married with a dozen...then yeah...people WILL judge. They were lied to.
1 indiscrestion....not good but could be managed and swept away pretty easily. 12? Over the entire time he was married? Public will have a hard time trying to get by that...not that they have to , but he needs to make ammends to help himself. Otherwise....he'll be just another tabloid superstar gone bad. I don't know him , but I feel confident in saying I don't believe he wants anything like that at all.
I'm not a big Tiger fan.....well nown where I hang to. I admire his game...but him? Jury was out. I was starting to listen to him more since his dad had passed and he was married. Felt he was becoming more mellow and not so damned cocky and thinking his **** didn't stick. Now...As I stated....I could really care less if I see him ever play again or not....and outside of Stang , there aren't any bigger golf fans than me on this BBS.

Have you not heard the new?! Golf courses is a threaten sporting field that is fading quick. The southwest U.S. is pushing for another 200 courses by 2012.

Personally I think he owes only his wife and family an apology. I think his personal life is just that his personal life.
I could care less how many road lizards he's tagged. Anybody who feels let down because he's had extra marital sex needs to get a life of their own.
How can anyboy who's never met you and not involved in your life personally owe you an apology? How could you honestly say his personal weakness has negatively affected your life?
Anybody saying he owes them an apology because he's a role model for their children should consider apologizing to their children themselves for not doing their job..
They should be the role model for their own children not some professional ball swatter.

You are right shifty. Anytime a athlete or celebrity gets in trouble with the law or some other personal issue, society expect that person owns them a apology.
LOL, "professional ball swatter"

People with nothing better to do that drool on themselves bawwwing about how upset they are. I'll be at the gym. :salute

"I shagged her rotten, baby, yeah!"

This modern age pfft.

Bingo! I already placed a bet saying he wins the Masters :aok
I concur I've watched every tournament he's been in since the his amateur championships and theres no way he's missing the master's. He wouldn't look back on his career and say I just needed 1 more to beat Jack and say if I wouldn't have missed the 10' masters I may have won that one. And trust me when he comes back and starts his winning the sponsorships will come back, he's not done any harm to himself besides to Erin. I lost some respect for him but I think he can turn it around.

He banged broads, who cares.

it is three mile island and unit one is still operating, unit two was the one shut down.
just the facts.

Well if he was a UFC fighter then I would agree but golf is considered a family watched sport with a ton of heritage and tradition . Glf has been very good to Tiger and him not considering the poor light that he HAS now placed on the game is another example of his self centeredness.
If he bagged 1-2 women I would have to say he may have been able to sweet talk his was out of it but 12+ that we know of is just plain ridiculus. This display of pure self gratification and again proof that he hasn't placed anyone but himself first. Considering the damage that has been done to his wife and kids gives me huge insight on just how big his ego truly is. Lack of commitment and loyalty is another personal trait that leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. His income doesn't just come from his ability to play golf but his moral stature in the community. If bagging a large portion of women while being married and lying to not only his wife and kids but to his sponsors and us means nothing to you then so be it. I however see this form of lifestyle as being counter productive to what he wants all of us to believe and I have little time or consideration for him. I choose to surround and support people that have assets that include conducting themselves in a expected manner and nothing less.

See there I disagree. I do not think any less of the game of Golf due to this horn dog's actions, and therefore am with Masher in the completely apathetic camp. Move on and let people try to focus on slightly more important issues, society.

Like what..... playing golf. Those are important issues not only for his family but his sponsers and friends. My bet is that his reputation never will again be what it was no matter how many years pass. There are many people who don't know the difference between a driver and a putter but still know who Tiger is. Those are the people that now will assoiciate him with infadelity evertime his name is mentioned.
I could give a rats behind what he does to himself, but I do care about the people whos lives it has effective for life. Ask any man or women whao have been cheated on and all will say that they never again will be able to trust that person as they once did no matter how clean they stay.

Great golfer..... piss poor human being.

I don't disagree. I'm sure his reputation will be hurt. I'm sure lots of people don't know squat about golf but know all about his shenanigans. I've been cheated on, and although it was a girlfriend not a spouse it still sucked immensely. What I'm saying is that this ultimately does not change the game of golf (other than knocking out a good player for a while) in the long run. Therefore, it really just is not important.
-

Exactly. I found it rather silly and stupid that he even had to do a press conference for something that is strictly a private matter for him and his family. Even more idiotic is how the major news networks are treating the press conference.
Why does the public and media feel that they are entitled to butt their noses in someone else's private business?
The only real thing Tiger is guilty of is bad taste by banging chicks that, compared to his wife, are rather ugly and plain.
ack-ack

The media is only giving the public what it wants. People want gossip. People want to know others are more miserable than they are. The media is just capitulating to the demands of the public.
-
It maybe Tiger's personal business but taking sponsors money for a persona that doesn't exist is where his personal business ends and public business starts. Sponsors are banking on his persona as well as his golfing ability. He has always portrayed himself as a family man and an honest man . He has created an image that sells products and when that image is other then what it was hired for and counted on then it becomes the business of anyone who has stupidly purchased a product because of his endorsement . The fact is that he was hired to endorse products because people thought he was the perfect American, a winner on the course and in life. He has only held up to half of his image.
I really don't care what Tiger's problems are but what I do care about is when someone tells me he something he isn't. I think people are just tired of being lied to and this is just another story about something that was too good to be true.

I agree Skuzzy the media is after the biggest story. And here you got the first billionaire athlete committing adultery, biggest story of the last century. Hard to fault the media that's what they get paid to do.

I disagree. The media is after the EASIEST story. I have a lot of contact with newspaper editors, I can tell you that what I see is editors trying to put word on the page as cheaply and easily as they can. Some of the editors I have dealt with our some of the most intellectually lazy people I have ever met.
I don't deal with TV media, but I have no reason to believe that they are much different these days.
-
i am always amazed that people will buy a product because some celebrity said to buy it. The celebrities are paid lots of money for their endorsements and when you buy that product you pay for that endorsement.
-
I just watched it, I think it was a bad idea on his part, he just seemed so fake the whole time he was reading his apology, like an emotionless robot.
Did you guys noticed that his mother almost never looked at him the whole time, she just kept staring off into the distance.
-
Tiger does not owe me an apology and in my humble opinion probably most of America. He owes his family more.
-
I disagree Tiger is a Icon very much like a super hero in a movie. Kids look up to him and do as he does, when they grow up they want to be like him. He's let million's of fans down all across the world, he is not just a person when you live the life he does. He must hold himself to a higher standard and completely and uderly owes every fan an apology for his actions, along with his sponsors and everyone who supported him. His biggest apology is to Erin which he brokes his vows to. He is the biggest known World-Wide athlete that has ever lived. When he beats Jacks record it will stand for a very very long time. Golf is one of the oldest and respected sport in exsistence and over the last centry you have only 4 players with over 10 majors Jack Nicholas, Tiger Woods, Amateur Bobby Jones, and Walter Hagen. Anyways I've got alot more to say but I'm going to :airplane: alittle before bed :aok

Professional sports don't interest me at all, golf is even less interesting.
It is so boring, I'd rather watch marathon re-runs of Spongebob Squarepants with my 6 year old than watch golf for more than a few minutes.
I'm not sure what is worse, the fact people pay anyone to hit a small white ball around or the fact they idolize someone that does.

It is a business. If they do not sell, they are out of business. Ratings for news shows are at their highest when they have some meaty gossip and personal tragedy to showcase. If it did not sell, they would not do it.
There are reasons why publications like the "National Enquirer" do better than any other printed news rag today. It is what people want. People vote on it everyday, with their remotes and at news stands.
We get what we have collectively asked for.
-
We get what we have collectively asked for.
Sometimes the media goes too far & it pisses me off when I see it, like reporting on something the government needs to keep secret for national defense.
Like when, I think it was the New York Times, published an article years ago about the Greenbrier Hotel and how our government had a top secret bunker under it for all the top people in the government to go to in case of an attack on the U.S to keep our country running afterward, but after that article was published it had to basically be abandoned because it would now be targeted and no longer safe. Now what was the need to publish something like that, we didn't need to know about it, and by telling us about it they rendered it useless.
