That would be true for the vast majority of people but not true in the same way for him. He is the face of a $100+ million yearly empire. Misconduct on his part does impact a lot of people in their business dealings and potentially even with other people’s jobs. It isn’t just about him. He should have been smart enough to either avoid the whole thing or be way more discreet about it.
How exactly does who he’s shagging 'impact a lot of people in their business dealings" or “other people’s jobs”? I’m curious.
Yeah, he is the face of several high priced ad campaigns, so what? Most of his sponsors seem to be also in the ‘it don’t matter to us’ camp. So who, besides his family and close friends, is impacted again?
I don’t usually feel sympathy for high profile celebrities who get caught out, but I find I feel nothing but sympathy for him.
I believe I speak for millions, around the world when I say, “Enough already!” I mean, the economy is in the tank, thousands are out of jobs, two wars are being waged, health care reform teeters and this story is top of the news? A day, maybe two, I could understand, but it just seems endless.
This thread should be read to “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
One of our local news stations had a story last night—i kid you not—about how the Woods saga is affecting local families. The story discussed the difficulties parents are having explaining Woods’ infidelities to their children.
I almost put a foot through our television screen.
I personally like the constant updates.
Because if Mrs. Woods suddenly find herself single again; I’d like to throw my hat into the ring.
And yes, I totally have a chance.
Is golf a real game?
Is it a rich hobby?
Caught in a press storm
No escape from TMZ
Open your eyes
Look to the skies and see
He’s just a golfer
He needs no sympathy
Cause your fame will come
It’ll go
Little scoop
Brings you low
Whatever way the press spins
Doesn’t really matter to me.
Mama! Just hit a tree
I got into my car
Put my foot down on the gas
I swerved and then a crash
Mama! My wife just had a son
But now I’ve thrown my career away
Mama! Ooohhh
Didn’t mean to make the news.
If I’m still on ET this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, cause only CNN matters.
In that case, there seems to be an opening at this weekend’s Chevron World Challenge tournament. Technically, you’d have a chance there too.
That new cologne, Ego Boost, really lives up to its name, doesn’t it?
And to the o.p.: Lion Savanah. Leopord Tundra. Cougar Mountain. Bobcat Meadow.
Go ahead, throw that punch; I need to practice my taan da.

We need to move on to the next celebrity sports scandal.
Something like “Tim Tebow Busted In Satanic Child Porn Cult Raid”.
In what could be a new low, the New York Post’s front page headline yesterday was “Tiger is a Cheetah” (get it?) accompanied by a photoshopped image of Tiger and his wife, Tiger sporting various bruises and bandaid-covered wounds along with a couple of missing teeth.
Recently, there was a link on fark.com that said “Tiger charges photographer” and linked to a pic the photographer took. Here I was thinking “charged him with what? And why take a picture of the paperwork?” Only, it turns out, it was an actual Panthera tigris tiger. The picture was pretty damn cool, and the photographer survived.

Tiger Woods made golf popular again. For that, he should burn.
I still want to hear the answer to this question.
That’s funny, did you see this on the Daily Show the other night?
I was hoping this whole mess would clear up quickly because the name of my new band is “Tiger Woods” and we’d like to avoid any confusion.
I hear he’s changing his nickname to Cheetah.

I hope Phil Mickelson was paying attention. Tiger’s wife showed how to beat him.
I think Tiger Woods actually sounds like a good candidate for Sampiro’s What’s your porn name? thread.
Of course. Oddly, it was the day after I watched the Muppet version on youtube.

Well, Tiger is used to filling 18 holes in a match, and it looks like he still has 15 to go.
