After looking at those shots, sure, Eldrick was just heading to 7-11 for a triple Reeses' Peanut Butter Cup to satisfy a late-night craving.
OK.
Take care,

Neither does adultery.....either way, if this story IS true, then Tiger has made a serious mistake and should have thought about the potential consequences instead of the bulge in his shorts......it won't affect my feelings about his Golf skills, but it sure would put a huge damper on my perception of him as a role model for kids and for adults.....and if he did not have a prenup, he can kiss about $500MM of his fortune goodbye. What a costly fuckup in so many respects if this is true....pk500 wrote: Divorce doesn't work well with the Nike and IMG image of the "perfect" Tiger. Plus it might be the largest alimony settlement in the history of mankind.
Those are two huge reasons for Tiger to run around yet still keep Elin under his roof.
I'm with you about adultery. And none of the reasons above are justifiable. But very probable.
Fact is, TMZ more than often gets these stories right. Way more than the "mainstream" media.

Why should we look at athletes as role models? This is the biggest mistake we, as the american society make towards athletes, and I would say that it's probably has to do with marketing than anything else. They sell more shirts if grown men idolize other grown men, let alone kids doing the same. And maybe role models isn't the right word, what people do instead is hold up athletes to some mythical standard of behavior and if they appear human we are in shock.DivotMaker wrote:Neither does adultery.....either way, if this story IS true, then Tiger has made a serious mistake and should have thought about the potential consequences instead of the bulge in his shorts......it won't affect my feelings about his Golf skills, but it sure would put a huge damper on my perception of him as a role model for kids and for adults.....and if he did not have a prenup, he can kiss about $500MM of his fortune goodbye.

I watch sports to be entertained and that's it. I'm in awe of their physical talent but it stops there. I don't know why we have to try to idolize them as well. That's stuff for kids, I guess.
His problems with his wife are his problems with his wife. I find it stupid to judge Tiger for off the course problems. I'm not saying cheating on your wife should be condoned but stuff like this should not be tried in the court of public perception. It's not like he's a politician trying to propose a family marriage act while cheating on his wife.
And let me say, I have never liked Tiger. I think he represents something wrong about sport and golf in general. And don't get me started on the craze of Tiger-proofing courses, it has destroyed the grand old courses in a 15 year period. All because the USGA doesn't have the "balls" -- excuse the bad pun -- to take on the manufacturers and to reign in distance. In 10 years, I have gained over 40 yards in driving distance. That's 4-0, and that's totally insane.

The only irony of this FANTASTIC commercial is that Nike has done more to promote the myth of athletes as role models than just about any company for the last quarter-century. This was Nike's Pontius Pilate ad.

Tiger refused to talk to the cops for the third straight day today and let them look at his cuts. I love his statement he released in which he denies all the rumors and is sticking with the courageous wife story. What a moron if he thinks this will just pass over if he lies enough. And wtf is up with the rule of law? I'd like to see what happened to me if I told the police 3 days in a row to come back later for their investigation under fishy conditions.

Spot on, dude. When is the point when the cops say, "Hey, we're the law -- you're talking to us when WE want you to."toonarmy wrote:Tiger refused to talk to the cops for the third straight day today and let them look at his cuts.

Somebody should go to the local Rite Aid near Isleworth and see if there's a run on Neosporin. If so, Eldrick is busted -- trying to heal those facial cuts inflicted by Elin as quickly as possible.

Thanks for schooling me. Appreciate it!Metman24 wrote:The "rule of law" is that this was deemed a traffic accident, and he doesn't have to talk to the police.
This still reeks of traffic accident precipitated by domestic dispute.

He really doesn't have to give a statement after damaging city property (the hydrant)? I find that more than a little odd.
EDIT: answered my own question by reading the latest on the "incident"; quirk of Florida law that wouldn't fly anywhere else. Only have to provide license, registration, proof of insurance. Surprised the insurance companies haven't forced that to be changed - police statements are their number one resource.

Let's see here:
-- Guy runs over a fire hydrant on a very wide street in a luxury community at 2:30 in the morning while traveling at such a slow speed that the airbags do not deploy.
-- Guy has cuts on his face yet no blood is on the steering wheel and there is no sharp glass anywhere in the vicinity of guy's face.
-- Guy's back window of SUV shattered due to wife shattering it with golf club, supposedly to rescue him, because everyone knows the best way to rescue someone from the driver's seat in a SUV is to bash out the very back window and pull them over 2 or 3 sets of seats.
-- There are reports of a domestic disturbance, thus possibly explaining why said wife had a golf club in hand at 2:30 in the morning and ran to an accident scene with a golf club (We all know that the first thing someone does when there is an accident is run to get golf equipment).
-- Nothing makes sense about the story given by woman in question at the scene of the accident.
OK, yeah, just a routine traffic mishap that the police have no right to investigate. Everyone move along; nothing to see here. The police should feel privileged that Tiger may talk to them in the future, if he feels up to it.
A f***in crock of horse feces this is.

I love the fact that she said the doors of the car were locked so she ran back to the house to grab.......keys? Nah.....a nine iron.
If the story is anything but as follows i'll be shocked...
1. Dude and affair found out
2. Dude and wife have it out, scratching of face ensues
3. Wife grabs Nike iron and tees off on dude.
4. Dude is knocked loopy and races to vehicle.
5. Wife chases dude who, after she blows out back window with said Nike iron, pegs the gas pedal to get away and in turn cannot avoid hydrant and tree as he likely sees three of each from concussion suffered at hands of aforementioned Nike iron.

So, they would investigate me if the situation was the same? Who cares? It's obvious - it is a domestic dispute, but who cares?toonarmy wrote: OK, yeah, just a routine traffic mishap that the police have no right to investigate. Everyone move along; nothing to see here.

True, true, Zlax. I just went for the first one I could find. But you're right: "Stop Making Sense" is a classic. I wore out the soundtrack for that flick on cassette!
