Did anyone catch Chris Rock on Letterman last night talking about Tiger?
I was laughing my a$$ off. He said something like: "Tiger hasn't had sex since Thanksgiving. He's got so much stored up energy, he's going to win the Masters and then rape Phil Mickelson! :)

funny stuff.....

Elin can get revenge like Walt White's wife exacted revenge.

I dont know the facts and neither do you, but it's pretty obvious that whatever was going on at home wasn't getting it done. if she isn't willing to change he should move on.

What is pretty obvious is that Tiger's not a one woman guy. He needs a variety, so whatever Elin was or wasn't doing at home didn't seem to matter.

No doubt, Jack. Elin could have f*cked Tiger six ways of Sunday, and that clearly wouldn't have been enough.

Tiger is a sex addict and an insanely competitive person. It's all about the chase and the conquest. One sexual partner, even if she was the skilled bastard offspring of Ron Jeremy and Christy Canyon, isn't enough.

LOL at whoever paid those planes to fly over the tournament. Unless it was his wife, they're just a stupid as Tiger to waste their money on that.

Either that or he can just cross his name off of the giant check they give him and put hers on it. I'd bet on the latter. :lol:

The sanctimony from people over this whole ordeal is funny to me. As far as I know, none of us are married to Tiger. He doesn't owe any one of us an apology.

Anyone who has ever hung out with athletes know that this s*** happens. When I was in college, I was friends with a lot of guys on the Badger hockey team. I had girls ask about this guy and that guy and my advice was always the same, "Really nice guy, but if I had a sister I wouldn't want her to date him." 95% of people in their situation would cheat. It's just human nature.

A lot of people would, no doubt. But I don't think you can be in a truly committed, happy relationship and just choose to be that cruel to your partner.

And the above is an example of why people who lump Tiger into the same wheelbarrow as every other athlete are wrong.

Tiger, Nike, his other sponsors and IMG built an image around Woods of perfection. They all crafted it. Tiger embraced it, inhaled it, oozed it. And it made him obscenely famous and rich. Tiger is NOT the same as a bunch of poonhound teens playing college hockey.

So when it was proven that the carefully crafted facade around Tiger was a giant crock of sh*t, the public was entitled to call Tiger on it any way they like.

Tiger is probably sports' closest answer to Icarus. The guy flew too damn close to the sun, thinking the wax holding together his wings never would melt.

And it's been a speedy fall to the ground for Tiger, just like Icarus.

I'm not much of a golf follower. I occasionally play and of course have occasionally watched Tiger play on TV. I've shown mild interest in his accomplishments. I never got the impression that he had an image of perfection anywhere outside the golf course. I didn't get the impression he was a big time adulterer either, but then again I don't assume anyone to be like that, even if I know it's human nature. I always give people the benefit of the doubt and it has nothing to do with whatever image Nike or Tiger have crafted.

The only image I got from all the ads and publicity is that Tiger is extremely competitive and as close to perfection on the golf course as you'll ever see,and I don't think anyone can really argue with that. I also know that if the best golfer in the world uses Nike products than they MUST be good, right? He always has been and always will be one of the all time greats. Maybe there are ads that I haven't seen, but I don't remember anything about how great of a family man he is. The only thing I knew about his family life before this fiasco is that he was really close to his dad (which is true) and that he married a really hot chick.

Where did Nike or anyone else claim that he was a perfect human being? I'm not saying that he wasn't an idiot for sleeping with all these women but I'm also not upset just because he ruined some ridiculous image of purity that I never thought existed in the first place.

It's based in a history as old as man itself; we love to put someone on a pedastal, and the only thing we love more than that is to tear the same SOB down from it, and kick him into a pulp.

Makes us feel better about ourselves, in a sick sort of way.

King:

How many other athletes have been the perennial poster boy for a video game played by kids and adults? Tiger is.

How many other athletes had studio photos of them, their loving wife and infant children sold and distributed to worldwide media? Tiger did.

How many athletes used their bond with their strict father, and the lessons about morality, courage, discipline and behavior learned from him, as part of their public image and PR strategy? Tiger did. Nike still does.

All of these things, and more, helped to create the image of a perfect world in which Tiger lived and fostered. And it was a giant myth.

How did "we" -- meaning the average Joe on the street -- put Tiger on a pedestal? Didn't Nike, Gillette, EA Sports, his other sponsors, IMG, the media and the man himself do a pretty damn good job of that?

It's easy to blame all of "us" as lemmings who put Tiger on a perch, when that's not the case. His spinmeisters and image crafters, along with his success on the course, did that.

And we bought into it. Maybe that's where we were sheep following the herd.

So because people are stupid enough to fall hook, line, and sinker for a marketing pitch they are owed an apology? He's an entertainer, specifically a professional golfer. He did his job (entertaining people by playing golf) very, very well. The only people that can be owed an apology are Elin Woods, his kids, his sponsors, and the other golfers on tour who have to put up with this circus show. He didn't do anything to us.
