Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder One thing I wonder if it will be discussed is that the pool camera that provided the headshot of him went out mid-way through his spiel. About half of his performance was seen from the side as he looked at the other camera, likely unaware it wasn't working. We were treated to several minutes of a rather uncomfortable looking mother of Woods. She had her armns folded across her chest for the first part of it, then when she realized she was constantly om her arms went to her side, in a less confrontational pose. I thought that little glitch was hilarious.

Originally Posted By andyll <<Same with Tiger, he cheated on her, not on America, so he owes nobody an apology but her.....>> Tiger and his handlers have spent decades buiding tiger (the person) into a worldwide brand to sell products. Unlike most athletes his 'brand' transcends golf. The goal of brands like that is to make the buying public like tiger as a person... not tiger the golfer. If Tiger wants to sell credit cards to the general public then yes he does owe us an apology. If all he wants to do is play golf and limit his endorsements to golf related products then no he doesn't. I really hate people that want to be public figures when it makes them money but then want to be a private person when it suits them.
Originally Posted By DAR You right, Tiger is a public person and he should have to answer for that. But Tiger was right in saying his wife and children shouldn't be harassed.
Originally Posted By ecdc >>But Tiger was right in saying his wife and children shouldn't be harassed.<< How ironic is it that everyone who's followed this story obsessively absolutely agrees. That's the problem: the giant mental disconnect between what people think and what they do. They all say "Hey, this is private!" and then tune in with regularity to get their latest dose of Tiger gossip.

Originally Posted By wahooskipper I didn't like Tiger because he was a role model or pitched Nikes and Buicks. I like Tiger because he was/is the most impressive golfer I've ever watched.

That said, I absolutely agree with him that his family, and particularly his kids, should be off limits. I think the photogs who follow his kids around should be shot.
Originally Posted By snappyfun " I absolutely agree with him that his family, and particularly his kids, should be off limits. I think the photogs who follow his kids around should be shot." Like he cared or even thought about his family as he slept with every porno actress he could find, talk about a big phony.
Originally Posted By FaMulan I hope his wife divorces him and enforces every clause of their prenup. If he had been a smart man, he would have gone the route of George Clooney. Clooney has never married and has had serial girlfriends and no one faults him for that simply because he did not enter into a committed relationship.

Originally Posted By barboy ///I hope his wife divorces him/// Why do you care so much about the mechanics of their marriage????........ what a remarkably strange thing to write-- you sound like like you are the one married to Tiger and he cheated on you.
Originally Posted By FaMulan In my mind, what he did was completely unforgivable.

A man who has been that completely unfaithful is not worthy of her love and devotion. Of course, you can't see this from a woman's perspective. You don't have the anatomy for it.
