Tigers

Tigers cry please forgive me, I want my sponsors money, oh yes! Would anybody like to buy my poor wife’s story, Hey hang on a minute Elin I’m first. PUBLIC APOLOGY MY BIG FAT A$$ :-D:-D:-D

 

Who cares, He or she is surreal

 

Hi Laura, just looked through your gallery, brilliant, please may i copy one of your pictures, Red Sky at Night, thought i'd try and do it in water colours, I loved Fire and Ice to.
"red sky at night, shepard's delight, red sky in the morning, shepard's huts on fire.

 

You said it, Tony! The ONLY thing he is sorry for, is that he got caught. That is about it. I don't do golf anyway :-D

 

IMO I like Tiger and always will. He was and still is a great golfer. TO me hes the best. They even said it themself. Events and shows dropped a lot of percentage when Tiger was gone. They also said he was the number 1 guy for selling the most to. Anyways seeing things like this is hard to be dating a woman who is religious and hates everything and thinks every little thing is bad. But in reality who cares about him cheating. IMO yes hes wrong.. shouldn't cheat. Get a divorce or something. GF eyes divorce isnt what true christains are. I just shut up each time I tell her anything .. most the time I dont tell her anything new... lol

 

Can't have just one!

 

I really don't get why he needs to apologize to a bunch of people who are not his wife. He wronged her. Not his fans, or any of a million of supposedly offended people around the globe. Don't get me wrong, he did betray his wife in a very bad way, and given she's Swedish I will not be surprised if retribution and divorce will be swift, brutal, and as painful as she can make it. We hzve a temper, and a lot of pride. It's the viking heritage.

But why does Tiger Woods need to apologize to anyone else? Yes, I understand he is a hero to a lot of young people, and that his sponsors bought a certain image as well as his golf prowess when they signed the contract, but really... billionaire athletes sleep around with beautiful women all the time, it's almost a part of the job description by now. What did he do to anyone other than his wife, other than failing to live up to expectations that were so unrealistic and naive that if you're not Mrs. Woods and you feel Tiger should apologize to you, then you're a very delusional person?

Tiger's biggest crime towards people he's not married to is honestly that he was careless and stupid enough to get caught. He should apologize for that, before anything else.

 

:-D:-D

I heard Tigger made a speech today, don't care what he said. Wish the old hot button area was still open, have an interesting comparison, that I will keep to myself.

 

I heard it on the radio this morning and there's articles all over the internet.... I don't know what he said and don't care.
It's nobody elses business what goes on off the Golf Course.
The media hypes this type of thing up way too much, he's a Golfer......not a God.

His wife is going to end up with more money than she will know what to do with and he will cry sympathy and the people will give it to him.....because he plays Golf.

Personally no sympathy for him at all, I don't know him, he has no bearing on my life and honestly the more I hear about him the less I respect him as a sportsman.
Be great at something, stop trying to make yourself out to be a God, you're a Golfer, you wack a ball with a stick, granted he does it very well.....but thats all it is.
Then again I think the media and public should stay the hell out of peoples lives.

Something I've joked about for well over a year now, since Jenifer Aniston and Brad Pitt split up, I'm 99% sure she has been on the front cover of at least 1 magazine every single week.
Leave the poor woman alone!

It can be said that you're in the limelight so you have to expect it, but the funny thing is we repay these people who entertain us by hounding them into depression or worse.
We the public crave inside knowledge and scandle on people .......who provide US with entertainment. Surely a better way to show apreciation would be to leave them alone.
The human race is awesome isn't it lol

 

That is a great point, that I don't think I've ever seen brought up before. I agree with it though... fully and completely.

As an enthusiastic can of the LA Lakers, I've been seriously irritated this season that in every single nationally televised Laker game the announcers have been talking about Lamar Odom and his Kardashian wife, as if it's a really interesting thing that everyone really cares about. I'm just annoyed. I love Lamar and that the Lakers were able to re-sign him, but his marriage is between him and his wife, and not something the TV announcers should be talking about when he's in the middle of dunking over Kevin Garnett. I don't need to know about his personal life. He got married less than a year ago, let the man have his privacy!

 

I'm sorry, there's absolutely no way of avoiding quoting that :-D

But yes, exactly my point.

 

Personally, I wonder what was so wrong in the relationship that he felt the need to go outside it for satisfaction. Not that it's any of my business, but obviously something wasn't quite right.

The real issue to me though, is that they are making pop heroes out of the women who came forward and admitted to sleeping with him. Granted, their careers are over now. Discretion is the code word of their profession and now that they tossed that out he window, bet their client lists shrinks faster than Tiger's sponsor list.

~C

PS: So he screwed around... WHO CARES?!?!? So have most of the presidents, and other than with Bill Clinton, no one gave a hoot.

 

I can't believe it's all completely down to the male 'celebrity' though. OK, the majority are pretty average to good looking, but if some of the women who have gone with these men saw an average penniless, untalented Joe (instead of the mega rich, super famous individuals that Tiger Woods, John Terry, Ashley Cole etc. turned out to be) walking down the street, they wouldn't give these gadgies a second look. Phil Collins is a great case in point.
Not that this excuses the behaviour of these two (or more) timing lotharios. It doesn't and it shouldn't. They need to give themselves a shake and realise some women with lesser morals will run straight to a newspaper and say, "Give me a load of cash and I'll tell you who's been a naughty boy this week."
Take the pain, boys, it serves you right when you get catched.

 

Halo - you hit the nail as usual Had he been a rambunctious sports person - it would not have got the hype. I saw the last five minutes of his apology.
Yakking about Buddhist teachings blah blah - and not giving into temptation:-D

All aside, the guy plays amazing. Technically perfect, sound mind on the course, and talented to pull off the impossible shot in a clutch situation. He could be ten shots behind the leader on a Sunday morning, and still win! He scares the rest of the field. I like that.

The guy is great at golf period. Forget the private life.
Cheers..

 

I'm in agreement with the general mood here. Tremendous athlete, SOB as a husband/father.
I think the apology to "his fans" and the public was pompous. The ONLY ones he should apologize to is his family, but his arrogance tells him the public might give a rat's *** as to who he's sleeping with.
Then he brings religion into it, what a f****** hypocrite, it's amazing how many of these celebs suddenly find God, or in this case Bhudda I guess, after they screw up and get caught.
I think the entire show was 100% motivated by and staged for $$$$.
Just my 2 cents.

 

As said, the media just publicizes what sells. If I was caught being unfaithful, (as wrong as that is on a personal level), no one would care.
With a familiar household name, many media tend to regard as their lives as public property. This is a trap of being a public person. Personal lives of public people don't interest me in the slightest, but unfortunately, a lot of people like to have some kind of personal gossip, and to pass judgment on the target person. Pretty sad state of affairs in a way.
Tiger - great Golfer - not so great husband. The two shouldn't be mixed publicly, i.m.o., but they always do.

 

Like you said, trying to save his image... you'd think he would have realized just from looking at the mistakes of others though, that it's not going to work. What would have worked, and what he should have been doing, was to refuse to talk about it aside from "it's between me and my (ex-)wife, and out of respect for her I will not turn this to a media circus", and then focused on golf. Golf, golf, golf. Once he'd won a couple more tournaments, no one in the media would have bothered with the scandal anymore.

Instead he poured rocket fuel on the flames... further proof that golf is the only thing he's good at? rolleyes

 

Don't you mean Walkers?

Erm, he does? Sorry, couldn't resist.

More bad jokes on the horizon

 

He's not the first. Won't be the last. This time next year it'll be someone else being dragged over the coals by the media.
Odds for the next fella caught playing away are:
1-10 Rustyjack
4-7 David Beckham
Evens Elton John
2-1 Jay Leno
5-1 Roger Federer
10-1 Alan Rickman
25-1 Will Smith
50-1 The Archbishop of Canterbury
100-1 Major Attitude
1 million-1 The Pope

 

I like the french way of thinking. On Mitterand's funeral the mistress and wife
sat/stood close by. Look at Sarkozy - the french can't be bothered!

 

Rusty,

Looks like you're next!!:-D:-D:-D
Looking forward to YOUR press conference!

 

Meh, that was a corporate apology to keep the male based sponsors who are still on board like Nike, who's rep was at that 'press conference'.rolleyes Basically guys don't care much but their wives make a lot of the purchasing decisions. Honey, I need a new set of Tiger clubs.

 

Maybe he should not - JUST DO IT :-D

 

:-D How the heck did I ever miss that opportunity at a one liner? roflmao
