Tiger Woods injured

Dinsdale, your continued attempts to make Tiger look bad are starting to get desperate sounding. And I don’t think you really need to help Tiger right now; he’s doing a good job of it himself.

What would you want him to do, wear a horsehair shirt and self-flagellate in public so everyone can see how he’s attempting to atone for his mistakes? Would you believe he was being serious or genuine if he did? Wouldn’t you likely just assert that his efforts were a self-serving attempt at damage control, scripted by his PR staff?

Face it: in your eyes, he’s damned no matter what he does. Your personal antipathy colors your interpretation. But for those who are not blinded by their jealousy over his success, and the adulation it has brought him, it is easier to interpret his public statement as an attempt to set things right; if he is, indeed, sailing off to the Caribbean, it is possible that either: the marriage is unsalvageable and he’s off to get away from the public eye that will hound him everywhere he goes here, or he’s been told by his spouse to get the hell away from her while she does some soul-searching.

At least he’s not hiking the Appalachian Trail. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know, man. As I see it, a significant portion of his life over the past several years has been a lie. Think of the effort he must have put into juggling these multiple relationships, while trying to keep his wife unaware, and maintain his public persona as a stand-up family man.

In my limited experience with people who have committed themselves to such ongoing dishonesty, I tend to find myself disbelieving just about anything that comes out of their mouths. Just about the only things I’d believe from him at this point would be entirely self-serving statements such as “I wish this had never happened” or “I just want to go on with my life.” But I’d be hesitant to believe him if he told me he had had eggs for breakfast - even if he had a little drip of yolk on his chin! :stuck_out_tongue:

583

Heck. I don’t like the guy. So why does it bother you so much that I continue to point that out in a thread directly concerning him?

I guess I want to get my shots in while I can, before he goes back to being St. Tiger of the Links. The public has a mighty short memory when it goes to getting their sports/entertainment fix.

As far as his golfing ability and achievements are concerned, I don’t believe I have ever questioned them.

Hmm - “jealousy” is certainly ot a word I would have ever considered to describe my feelings towards Tiger. But I suppose you know better than I!

584

I still don’t understand how he did it. He has to be the most recognizable man in the world. A shot of him macking on some party girl would make a paparazzo’s year.

You may in fact be right. But if you are not going to believe anything he says, what’s the point in contesting his statements?

Can you honestly say that you wouldn’t give your left nut to play like him? They could take mine with a rusty knife and a dull rock.

586

I would. Then again, I haven’t seen my left nut since 1999.

This was forwarded about 5 times befores I got it: If false, its creative, but it sounds somewhat reasonable to me

Subject: inside story on Tiger

I have a Member who lives 10 houses down from Tiger in Isleworth. As we know Tiger’s agent is Mark Steinberg. My Member plays golf and is real good friends with another IMG Agent; who is very good friends with Steinberg and they share the same office. This information came from the other IMG Agent to my Member, and then to me today, and according to them is up to date as yesterday when my Member left Orlando.

On Thanksgiving Day, after he and Elin and the family had Turkey Dinner, he spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch watching football and texting Rachel. After each received and sent text message he would clear his message box to rid himself of the evidence. Sometime in between there, one of his Orlando buds called him to see if he wanted to get together at the Clubhouse to play poker with the guys, to which Tiger said yes. Tiger left the house around 7:30 to go play poker, and left behind his cell phone…and one message he had forgot to delete from Rachel.

When Tiger returned home around 11:30 -12 that night, Elin confronted him about the text message in the phone, and the started a heated discussion to its regards. According to what I was told, there was more “incriminating evidence” than just the text message (i.e. photos). Tiger tried to play it off to Elin by telling her she was reading too much in to it, and did not know the story, etc. Tiger went upstairs to chance into his gym shorts and t - shirt, came back down, and Elin confronted him again; to which Tiger gave the same story. Tiger sat down in a chair in the living room, and Elin sat acorss from him urging Tiger to just come clean. Tiger stayed to his guns and denied everything. At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9 - iron. When she struck Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose (causing his nose to bruise some), and virtually knocking two of his upper teeth out, and breaking the bone on the upper right side. Tiger ran scared as hell out of the house (which is why he had on no shoes) with Elin swinging the golf club thoughout the hallway to the garage (i.e causing the severe damage which has been reported). Tiger hoped in the Escalade and tried to leave; and as we know Elin knocked out the windows in the Escalade. When Tiger crashed, Elin panicked and was not sure what to tell the police (which is why there are two conflicting stories from her). When this happened, Elin immediately called Mark Steinberg to tell him what happened, and Mark told Elin to tell him what hospital they were going to, and he would meet them there.

Tiger is transported to the hospital with Elin in the ambulance, and as they arrive Mark is there waiting for them. The people from the hospital and the doctors take Tiger in for X-Rays etc to check out the damage caused. The doctors tell Mark there is not much they can do to repair the teeth and the gash, but the doctor knows a cosmetic dentist and plastic surgeon in Phoenix who will make Tiger look as if nothing happened. Tiger tells Mark to get the jet ready and lets head to Phoenix to get this done. Friday after Tiger is released from the hospital, he does not return home, he and Mark board the plane for Phoenix. If you remember FHP kept showing up at Isleworth to talk to TIger, and was told by another FL attorney (who Tiger hired for PR reasons) Tiger was not ready to talk. Well now we know why, he was in Phoenix, and did not arrive back in Orlando until either late last Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. The surgeries were more intense than what they had originally planned, which meant Tiger was in PHX longer than he should have been. Upon arriving back in Orlando, Tiger and Elin have been in intense marriage conseling sessions (up to 6 to 7 hours a day) every day! Both Tiger and Elin have told the conselors they love each other, and want to make the marriage work. The reports you are reading on TMZ and RadarOnline are about 30% accurate at best according to Mark.

In regards to Tiger’s boat being in Palm Beach this week, along with Rachel; that part is true. However, Tiger is not on the boat, and is not in Palm Beach; and Rachel is not on the boat. Her parents live 6 blocks from where the boat is, but that is it. Tiger has not returned to his house at Isleworth since the day of the accident except for the therapy sessions. IMG has enlisted the assistance of one of its most recognized sports figures, and Tiger has taken up residence in his neighborhood; Bay Hill. IMG contacted Arnold Palmer because of the high regard in which Tiger holds Arnold. Arnold has agreed, and IMG has said if anyone can get through to Tiger, Arnold may be the only person who can based on his public persona when he was at the height of his game as well. The moving trucks being shown on TMZ and RadarOnline are moving out pictures and furniture which was damaged during their Thanksgiving Day argument; not of her moving out. Yes, Elin has retained a divorce attorney, but has not filed any papers, and as of yesterday had no intention on doing so. Tiger has not made any public appearances or statements due to the surgery and plastic surgery he had in PHX. It will be about another month if not more before he gets in front of a camera. Yes, Tiger is hitting golf balls late at ngiht at Bay Hill out of their teaching center (which is equipped with lights).

So, to get this story, Tiger told Weinberg, who told another IMG agent, who told “my member”, who told the author of the email. The whole thing seems too detailed to have gone through that many versions.

589

AT&T dumped Woods today. That’s 2 big contracts lost.

590

Why does that guy keep talking about his schlong?

591

Latest is he is in a sex rehab clinic to solve his problem. Where’s Dr. Drew when you need him?

592

Tiger Woods scandal destroying shareholder value.

593

The first step in Tiger’s rehabilitation of his image? :stuck_out_tongue:

594

Wow, almost one month since the last post?

Well, another mistress recently had a press conference. It is hilarious.

Before you click on the link for the press conference you first take a look at Tail of the Tiger Golf Balls.

Then take a look at the Press Conference. SNL couldn’t have done it better.

595

It’s difficult to believe that that was a real press conference. I’m know that it was but it sure looks fake. I loved the giant golf club.

596

Yes, I don’t know if they could have made it look more fake if they tried. The giant golf club was highlight of the clip.

597

Paper today says Tiger is leaving the sex rehab clinic to practice more golf. They also said he will enter a tournament in 2 weeks. As usual there is no backup in Tiger Woods stories.

598

That “press conference” is easily the stupidest thing I’ve seen in eight months.

When her shrill, feminist attorney cited the “proof” of Tiger’s love being text messages, I laughed to myself and thought, “Texting ‘Baby, I love you’ to your mistress is proof of jack shit.” As it turns out, I wasn’t being cynical enough! His text messages mentioned nothing of love. They pretty much said, “I like screwing you,” which should have been apparent from all the screwing.

599

What I really loved (in addition to the huge golf club) was the total non sequitor between having the need to prove Tiger’s love for her and not wanting her face on a golf ball. Can’t you not want your face on a golf ball without first showing that you’ve been banging Tiger?

There’s probably not a man alive who hasn’t texted something that stupid either. It has gotten a good laugh around the office though.
