Do you really think the whole golf world is going to be devastated because Tiger takes some time off? Losing billions of dollars..

Its not going to help the tour any, that's for sure.

Tiger's a *HUGE* cash cow for the PGA. With no Tiger.... there's a lot less cash.

Tiger Woods has been one of the best things to happen to golf in 40 or 50 years. He's young, and his popularity brings young men and women into golf, spending lots of money. He's not the standard white guy icon of golf, which makes it cool for all minorities to participate without feeling they are selling out to the white world. He wins more than a fair share of tournaments, which brings all the endorsements rolling in.

Until the last couple of weeks,most of the world thought he really was the squeaky clean good guy with a beautiful family, career and life -- just living the American Dream.

He's what, 30? He's already earned a billion dollars and that's just his share as spokesman, endorsee, etc. A few tons of greenbacks are coming other people's way as well. For every dollar Tiger earns figure ten or goinginto the rest of the economy. Notonly that, he was still going strong, golfers can keep going much longer than other athletes. This is a game of skill, not speed and hard impact with other players.

Then well, oops.

To find he's just a can't handle fame and can't resist temptation type of celebrity, well, that will drive folks away again. The color of his mistresses has put a 'damned fool seduced by the whores of Babylon' taint on his personality.

The young man blew it, plain and simple. Several people in the media are saying if he just comes on the tube and apologizes bg time, it will be over and he can go back to being the super golfer huge celebrity he once was and get his life back on track.

Partially true, maybe.

They're lying to him about some of that in an effort to get a big payoff in the cryfest, maybe his last big payoff before he slides into just one of the golfers playing out his career with a lot fewer endorsements than before phase.

He can't go back to being viewed as squeaky clean. He isn't and the public isn't quite that stupid. almost, but not after this public a fracas.

Still, he has more money than I could practically spend in this lifetime, even going back to his age. He could retire today and he will be just fine.

And dream of what could have been if he hadn't been thinking with his lower head.

Thought this was hilarious! It's a fake, Onion-style article, but it's pretty funny.

The Rev. Al Sharpton held a press conference today to blast Tiger Woods for the lack of diversity among his mistresses. Sharpton claims that the lack of African-American women among Woods’ harem will have a negative affect on the black community, specifically young black girls.

“Why is it that a man who calls himself black can’t bring himself to cheat on his wife with a black woman?” said Sharpton, speaking to a group of supporters in Harlem. “What does it say to young black girls everywhere when you pass them over? Shame on you, Tiger Woods. What would your daddy say?”

Sharpton, who has long championed taking black women as mistresses, said that today’s black athletes need to stop neglecting black women when it comes to extramarital affairs, and should follow the examples of positive black role models such as Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King, Jr., both of whom cheated on their wives with black women. Sharpton also stressed that cheating with African-American women would help the black community financially by giving black girls the chance to sell their stories to tabloids and gossip magazines.

Added Sharpton, “I’m not asking you to not cheat on your wives, I’m just asking you to give back to your own community.”


It certainly sounds like something Sharpton would say.

That's funny.

Bill Plaschke in the LA Times today had an editorial about the reports that about Woods has been associated with a doctor who's well known for providing HGH to athletes. I thought Plaschke was gonna burst a vein.

I think he needs more than a few public cry-fests to get his image back.
