Tiger speaks...

[XingTheRubicon]

Stop mentioning your sponsors, Eldrick.

The rest seems pretty heartfelt however.

[serious voice and face]This is between my wife and me.[/serious face]

:rolleyes: good luck with that, tiger.

[C&CDean]

I'd respect him a hell of a lot more if he'd just come out and say "look, I'm a ****ing whore, OK? I have lots of cash, and I love me some ***. If it's got blonde hair, big tits, and a nice *** (moving or breathing is optional) I'll **** it. Now that we've got that settled, I plan on winning The Masters this year by double digit strokes bitches. Now suck it, and leave me the **** alone."

[XingTheRubicon]

If the media stalked my 2 year old kid, I would be in jail. Mainly because if someone purposely stalked and harrassed my 2yr old child, I would break their f*cking knees.

[yermom]

how about he just plays golf and shuts the **** up

maybe Trojan needs a spokesperson? Viagra? :D

[lexsooner]

"And to all the guys who are bashing me, I realize it is because you just wish you were me, Tiger Woods, and could do what I did, instead of getting it only once a month from fat mama. And most of you could not even break 100 without mulligans, so STFU and leave me alone."

[C&CDean]

Yeah, that too.

[StoopTroup]

I think he should cange his name to Tigerdick.

[badger]

Boys, he's not going to say that sh!t in front of his dear ol' mum, now is he?

Also, I think that there were some of his wifey's family next to her that he hugged also. At first I thought they might be some of his half-siblings, but if they were, they would have been half-black, so my guess is they're Swedes like wifey.

So, that's what he's saying backstage now, out of earshot from mum and the Swede in-laws.

[picasso]

I'd still like to see the blue print for someone in his pickle to say and do everything in order to please everyone.
Some folks need to stick it.

Dean he did mention that he's had admit he needs help. That's proof that the Wood in Woods is a rough one.

[yermom]

I think he should cange his name to Tigerdick.

it's Cheetah, keep up ;)

[C&CDean]

I'm just not buying that he needs to get help. Hell, every rockstar, big-time jock, etc. taps that *** like there's no tomorrow. He ain't the first - or last - jock who's gonna whore around. Even Kobe and those guys haven't had to put up with the **** Tiger is from the media. I say leave him the **** alone and let him play golf. Going to sex-rehab is stupid. Sex is good dammit.

[goingoneight]

Now when I hear "Tiger Woods..." I'm going to listen for a female name after it.

[soonerscuba]

He didn't become a billionaire by being a devoted and faithful husband, he owes America nothing and I hope he destroys the tour.

[OU-HSV]

I'd respect him a hell of a lot more if he'd just come out and say "look, I'm a ****ing whore, OK? I have lots of cash, and I love me some ***. If it's got blonde hair, big tits, and a nice *** (moving or breathing is optional) I'll **** it. Now that we've got that settled, I plan on winning The Masters this year by double digit strokes bitches. Now suck it, and leave me the **** alone."
Guess that goes along with the old disturbing saying some abide by...
"Head, Hole, Heartbeat.....Heartbeat optional"

[Tulsa_Fireman]

To posthumously quote the wizened sage and modern bard Old Dirty B*astard...

"I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE P*SSY!"

[MojoRisen]

His only downfall was getting married with a 300 million dollar prenump. Wilt the stilt slept with 3 woman a day for 20 years!

I guess now that he is only worth 700 million and he only makes about 15 million a year from Golf - that he is trying to save his marriage and image for sponsors.

He shouldn't have gotton married, and when he married the twins, I thought it was his plan to have either one when he wanted too :)

He clearly wasn't ready to get married, if I were him, I would be damn sure I was ready with all that cash, woman etc.

I also think as competitive as woman are for that cash, and profile that they are offended the least by this.. WOman know how other woman are in my experience and the all mighty dollar is the only reason these people came forward after the fact.

[badger]

I think Tiger's mom has a tremendous amount of influence on him. The Buddhist comments... the fact that he got married so she could have grandchildren (she's mentioned that she really wanted grandchildren in past interviews) the way she has spoken in the past about family honor and not allowing him to embarrass her... I doubt you'd see such an effort to make amends privately and publicly if Tiger's mom wasn't in the equation. Maybe all those rock stars and athletes that have taken this similar path just needed mommy dearest to whip them into shape?

[Fraggle145]

I thought the actual message of "the apology" was good. He pretty much took responsibility for everything. He didnt blame anyone else.

I think it is just hard to keep your **** together when you are admitting to doing something you find embarassing in front of the entire world. He just had to put on the mask I think to keep his **** together.

[picasso]

I'm just not buying that he needs to get help. Hell, every rockstar, big-time jock, etc. taps that *** like there's no tomorrow. He ain't the first - or last - jock who's gonna whore around.

Hey, you never know. There might be some hot chick in the sexual addiction meeting.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I would've showed everyone my wang. And when everyone was done laughing, I would simply remind them that with this little thing and my bank account, chicks dig me. And that I'd be a fool not to take advantage of copious amounts of tail.

Then I'd cry.

[MojoRisen]

I for one would not want the world knowing about all the woman I slept with, could be proud of many, not so much with the beer goggles! It is private

As for the grand children comment, that made a lot of sense...

I think Eldrick may be swinging a bigger driver than you.:D

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Once you go black you never go back.

[OhU1]

These "I screwed and got caught" press conferences are tiresome. Who cares? If it is really between you and your family (as they all say) then STFU and don't have a press conference to do your damage control with the public.

Well that part of it is but Eldrick was also the highest paid endorsement type on the planet. He had a little public splainin to do.

[MojoRisen]

I heard that EA Sports and Nike are 70% of his revenue and did not drop him.

I would tell the media to kiss my arse and make another Billion being the bad guy winning Majors! Like Happy Gilmour or something..

And pull a Sean Penn and punch a camera man if the Paparazzi was invading my privacy.

[King Crimson]

i could care less what the guy does. if he's a tang hound, so be it. everyone around the tour knew he was a bit of sociopath and the public act was nonsense and manufactured. but Eldrick doesn't owe me any explanation.

i did sort of like Ernie not mincing words (from the main CNN article linked above):

"Some golfers didn't agree, however. "It's selfish," Ernie Els told GolfWeek. "You can write that. I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament.""

[1890MilesToNorman]

I know he would have preferred a 60 foot putt to win the Masters instead of what he did today. He had the stones to do it so kudos to Tiger.

I think the golfers have held their tongue in the past because they don't want a beat down on the golf course.
But Ernie was totally wrong. Tiger not playing in the tournament is what's taking the most away.;)

[King Crimson]

i don't think the tour guys minded watching the tour purses go up about 30% in the Eldrick Era, either. those guys are money ho's. they had a Golf Channel thing on the moneys i watched during the Christmas snow storm at my dad's house. maybe if you are 40-100 on the moneylist maybe you might not have a puncher's shot to win that PGA with Tiger around but making that extra 100,000 large makes living with him worth it.

it is actually pretty funny to see how the PGA/networks try and overly obviously try and market the Tigerless Tour. Phil has to carry the load, and the PING wedge thing was a nice try to get headlines.

[StoopTroup]

it's Cheetah, keep up ;)

Yeah...but I'm looking for something a little more post apology related. Tigerdick might not be right. Since he's asian I think I'll try Tigerpenis.

Hell, why not go with OU's Anthony Kim? He's young, he's kinda cute and people might mistake him for Tiger's younger brother with the Nike hats and not-too-shabby results on the course!

Seriously - market Kim. He's got potential.

Tiger Woods Announces Return To Sex | The Onion - America's Finest News Source (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/tiger_woods_announces_return_to)

[OhU1]

If a sport has to rely on a single personality to thrive (or in Tiger's case lack of a personality) perhaps the sport is not compelling enough for the public to watch on its own merit. Personally I enjoy watching golf with or without Tiger.

On another topic I think I can do without paying a $5 Tiger "tax" to Nike the next time I need to buy tennis shoes. So that's an area where I'd rather go Tigerless. I don't care about Tiger cars, Tiger drinks, or any of the other Tiger products. I remember the days when OJ Simpson was a huge product endorsement star. People loved the benign fake OJ personality. Anyone remember the "OJ Dingo" cowboy boots?

[King Crimson]

Personally I enjoy watching golf with or without Tiger.


me too. for me, it's about the game not the star system....but that's not the case with a lot of people. i know otherwise intelligent people and good sports fans who simply watch to see Tiger. If he's not in contention, they don't care at all. i don't understand it, but it's like that.

sort of like saying you like music but only listen to Britney Spears.

[MojoRisen]

He could be potentially the greatest golfer and most decorated of all time, it is like watching history being made.... He is second only to Nicklous and is 33 years old. and half black... He is chasing the record, people want to be watching history...

[OhU1]

I actually prefer when Tiger is out of contention. Otherwise he's all you hear about. He might be in 15th but you have to get constant Tiger updates nevertheless.

yes it is, but tell me how that pans out when you tell misses C&C has been porking all the neighborhood yainches.

He's got some **** to atone for, but it's a family matter, eff the media. They need to quit acting like it's their right to know whats going on.

[C&CDean]

I'm no huge Tiger fan, but I have to admit I'll watch more golf if he's playing. Why? Because the ****er is good. Not just good, he's damn good. Not just damn good, he's the best golfer this planet has ever seen. I love Jack, Arnold, Ben, Lee, Bobby, and all the good ol' boys, but Eldrick can flat out bring it on a golf course. Especially when the pressure is on. This is just an undeniable fact, and it's fun to watch. By the same token, I enjoy it when some lesser talent rises up and beats him head-to-head. I mean what could be better than hitting the 19th hole going "I just beat the best golfer in the history of the planet."??

[King Crimson]

He's got some **** to atone for, but it's a family matter, eff the media. They need to quit acting like it's their right to know whats going on.

right, and i wish the "media" would stop using the pronoun "we" when they speak. they are speaking for consumer demand indirectly, but it's tabloidism at this point.

i bet golf fans are the ones who care the least, it's people who watch the View or think the magazine rack at the grocery store checkout aisle is reality are driving this thing. Tiger, Jennifer Anistan's apparently very important quest for fulfillment....all the same.

[C&CDean]

Well the major difference here is that if I did go porking around, all Mrs. Dean would get is some ice damaged pecan trees, a few tractors and implements, and a bunch of broke-down old cows and scrawny heifers. And I'd be broke.

Tiger can afford to pay off the Viking chick, and still buy all the poon he wants.

Exactly. The media is already coming down on him as I type this because Tiger had the temerity to ask the media to stop stalking his 2 year old. They just don't get it. In other words....Dear media, no one gives a **** about you or your feelings. Sincerely, ....the rest of Earth.

Poor Tiger the victim......We would not even be hearing about this if he had not gotten busted....I will bet he gets caught again in the next year or 2.....

[Collier11]

Stop mentioning your sponsors, Eldrick.

http://www.cnn.com/

I dont get how anyone can say this was heartfelt, if it was heartfelt he would speak from the heart and not a statement that his agent likely prepared for him.

Sorry but I get sick of these athletes/politicians/movie stars, etc... who do something stupid and then cant even get up like a big boy or girl and speak about it unless they have a statement in front of them or someone reading it for them

[Collier11]

"Now Tiger faces his biggest conundrum, does he pull out the driver or does he simply ignore the girl standing beside that tree?"

[OU4LIFE]

Thank you. I was just talking about that over on OUInsiders. Sex addiction? Please. That's the status quo. That's the real deal our puritan society tries to ignore or pretend isn't real.

The guy clearly can't be trusted and has impulse control problems. But being "addicted" to sex? Please. Then I'm addicted to breathing.

You have zero idea if it was heartfelt. You have no idea if he wrote what he said. You have no idea if he is contrite.


I said it seemed heartfelt. He manned up and admitted what he did. Just because he didn't perform an unscripted Jimmy Swaggert bawl-a-thon to appease all the housewives, doesn't mean anything. Time will tell if he truly wants to change.

[Collier11]

He admitted that he got caught, he admitted that he gave a sh*t about his image and his sponsors, this was retarded from the start and he didnt make it any better when he spoke

I dont need him up there bawling like a baby but it would be nice if you are going to call a press conf or whatever that was to speak that you actually got up there and spoke, not read some prepared statement

[Collier11]

cheating once is a mistake, maybe even twice. Cheating with 10 or 15 girl is complete selfishness and lack of any morals. He is only sorry that his wife caught him

[Fraggle145]

cheating once is a mistake, maybe even twice. Cheating with 10 or 15 girl is complete selfishness and lack of any morals. He is only sorry that his wife caught him

Uh he said that. I'm just saying you have no idea if it was or wasnt.

I'd love to see you try to get up there in front of the entire world and apologize for a mistake (or 15) without losing your ****.

When I heard him talking i said he sounds like a robot, but the letter/speech is well thought out and covered everything.

What more do you want him to do? break down like a bitch a beg for forgiveness? you knew going in he wasnt going to do that. He said more than I thought he would.

[Fraggle145]

cheating once is a mistake, maybe even twice. Cheating with 10 or 15 girl is complete selfishness and lack of any morals. He is only sorry that his wife caught him


I may be coming across as the tiger lover (:confused: :eek: :D ), but who is ever really sorry until they get caught?

Furthermore once you get caught and are forced to realize what you were doing was wrong and the damage it would do you cant change your viewpoint? Finally doing you think it is possible for people to improve their behavior?

[Collier11]

1st of all, I thought the whole idea of reading a prepared statement was pointless, he didnt owe that to anyone

2nd, if he is going to get up and speak I agree that he doesnt need to answer questions but he could atleast speak and not read

3rd, everyone knows that the sex rehab deal is a joke, everyone knows that he is only sorry that he got caught, he got up there and showed arrogance and selfishness in parts of his prepared speech which is rediculous. He is a coward and he likely still feels entitled to do as he pleases

Of course I dont KNOW for a fact that he isnt honestly sorry and wants to be a better person but based off of this, I highly doubt it

[Collier11]

He F**ked over 10 women while his wife and two children sat at home, he is a selfish, worthless POS who only cares about himself. If some of you cant see that then I dont know what to tell you. As if he didnt know what he was doing was wrong, he is an adult

On top of that, some of the women say he didnt use protection. If that is true, he risked getting STDs, getting some random chick pregnant, who knows if he paid to for any of those girls to have abortions. He is a POS

[Stitch Face]

What's this about Tiger and Viking Kitten? This **** is getting crazy.

[JohnnyMack]

He F**ked over 10 women while his wife and two children sat at home, he is a selfish, worthless POS who only cares about himself. If some of you cant see that then I dont know what to tell you

So do you forgive him?

[Collier11]

Its not my place to forgive him, he has no effect on my life, he didnt do anything to me. Thats up to his wife and kids and I suppose his fans to some extent but I dont consider myself a Tiger fan. Im in awe of his ability but I dont openly cheer for him, well, I rarely do

[MojoRisen]

He is doing the therapy to appease his wife, at this point he is saying woman throw themselves at him and he could not resist and thought that he deserved the temptation because of his sucsess and was ultimately addicted to it.

Tiger has been playing golf since he was 1 years old, and really has had zero screw up's in his life. He probably loves his wife but was not ready whatsoever for that kind of legitimate commitment and as someone else pointed out on the board - probably just appeased his mom for grandchildren.

He is just appeasing his existing sponsor's, I know a lot of good men who are not faithful to their wives - especially with the tail that tiger was getting. He shouldn't have been married and as most young men will do- is find out the hard way to a tune of 300 Million dollars...

Don't get married unless you are damn sure, the divorce rate is 55%.

I would be surprised if anyone can claim the temptation Tiger felt with these woman and basically having any luxury he wanted at the age of 21.

[Collier11]

I agree with all of that, it is unfortunate that he got married when he was likely not ready. At this point he either needs to leave Elin for her sake or he needs to do exactly what she says for the rest of their lives

[OU4LIFE]

I agree with all of that, it is unfortunate that he got married when he was likely not ready. At this point he either needs to leave Elin for her sake or he needs to do exactly what she says for the rest of their lives

uh..yeah, THAT sounds like a healthy relationship...

:rolleyes:

[MojoRisen]

I also know a lot of modern woman, I mean post Liberation that would rather fight for their man than loose them to another whoe... She may have to step up the sex life and not pull any month long holdouts because of a simple honey do list grudge, and the fact that most courts side with woman in divorce as leverage!

She can leave him tomorrow permanently and collect her 3 bills... She never has to work again ever... She can have almost anything she wants.

[Collier11]

Im saying that if he wants to stay with his wife and she wants him to stay then he needs to practice being an obediant husband, not someone that just does as he pleases like he always has

[MojoRisen]

No doubt, still we don't understand the dynamics of that relationship at all. I could only imagine, honey can I take the Luxuary Yacht to St. Thomas this weekend while you are golfing?? Yeah honey just don't crash it....

We are not sure if he wants her back or vise versa for that matter. Tiger dumped his college girlfried of 4 years a day before he went pro :).

I always saw him as a potential temper tantrum throwing perfectionist and clearly a childhood superstar who didn't ever really have a normal life. He is a great sports figure not John Paul...

[Fraggle145]

Im saying that if he wants to stay with his wife and she wants him to stay then he needs to practice being an obediant husband, not someone that just does as he pleases like he always has

He said that too...


[My wife] Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time.

How do you know he 'always has' do you have the time line of when he banged all these chicks?

I mean for all we know he coulda banged em all in the last week...

[C&CDean]

Y'all's conversation has officially turned stupid now. Just so you know.

[Collier11]

He said that too...

Give me a break, it was represented as atleast happening over several years and who cares what he says, why should he be believed. Thats why I thought this whole deal was pointless, it doesnt mean or prove anything

See you at church this Sunday?

[MojoRisen]

I fully understand being on the road away from his wife.... Boat load of money and woman around.... It is one thing for a guy to come on to anything he see's, it is another thing entirely when they are tempting you non-stop. If you are tempted day in and day out, not everyone and maybe not even half of the men on here could say they would not slip up. Turns out he liked it to the point of addiction and had some of them come along as roadies.

This is a humbling experience for him in my opinion... King David had more than his share of woman, weather he was married or not in the 10s of thousands.. His downfall was going for one he wasn't supposed to have and killing the dude for it when he could have anyone in the world damn near.

Tiger ain't bad, in fact i would have liked to been one of his trusted roadies...

[Collier11]

weak sauce, both of you

Oh good one there

AND for some reason, very small people love to wallow in the misery of others, especially others that have a lot to lose.

I for one am not wallowing in his misery, all I have ever said is that I didnt believe the sincerity of his press conf. I also said that I didnt think he owed anything to me or anyone else other than his family. I havent forgiven him because I dont hold any grudge towards him, that is between him and his family, I just dont buy what he was selling today

[Collier11]

Easy to say when you aren't in the public spotlight.

So, being rich and famous is an out for acting like this? There are many rich and famous people who value family and dont go around sleeping with random women. People make mistakes, sleeping with the amount of women he slept with isnt a mistake, its a lifestyle. Excusing his actions cus he has so much out there tempting him is weak.

Back to my original point, I dont think he even needed to do this conference today, my gripe is that if you are going to do a press conf atleast speak from your heart and not read a prepared statement and take a few questions, even if they are softball questions

I'm not talking about his behavior, I'm talking about his presser. You're busting his balls because he brought a prepared statement.

I've spoken in public and on TV. It's not easy.

My point is I"ll bet you'd a been whizzin in your drawers. Hell even the greatest orator in history Obama uses some aid.

Collier, I agree it was pointless for us or his family. I think the fact is he has to be real smart about it because of the money... 100s of millions of dollars, that not just for him but the entire empire he built.

It changes people and it changes their perspectives, we are talking 100s of millions that not even the media or the cronies on ESPN can fathom.

I bet in the backroom right now, they are discussing weather or not he should provide details of his sex life on Oprah so all the woman in the world can get there kicks like the bachelor or some kind of reality TV show and make billions.

It was pointless to the normal person.... It is what it is and you may never really hear Tiger for what he is off the Golf course...

I get that but it isnt supposed to be easy is it, he looked like a robot today. I wouldve liked to see him speak off the cuff today, struggle with his words, I would like to know what he would apologize for and say if it wasnt prepared. I dont need tears like someone suggested, just originality

I get that, the only questions I want answered which likely wont be is why was he in that one car crash if it wasnt a domestic dispute, he doesnt owe that to me but I would like to hear it

I'll forward this to him.

[Collier11]

thanks

[XingTheRubicon]

I for one am not wallowing in his misery, all I have ever said is that I didnt believe the sincerity of his press conf. I also said that I didnt think he owed anything to me or anyone else other than his family. I havent forgiven him because I dont hold any grudge towards him, that is between him and his family, I just dont buy what he was selling today

I'll let him know

[Collier11]

original

[XingTheRubicon]

dammit Picasso.

[Collier11]

lol

[picasso]

original

I'd stick with weak sauce. It's even more so.

[XingTheRubicon]

hard to be as original as you....an inside sales clerk at Shawnee Feed/Sincerity expert.

[XingTheRubicon]

;)

[Collier11]

unnecessary

[MojoRisen]

He probably didn't even want to apologize, he has 1000 VP and Executives crawling up his arse because he is the bread and butter of their families.

Answering questions even if he wanted to would have probably been advised against... The guys saying speak from the heart, don't be a ***** about it - even ex athletes don't have a Billion dollars on the line...

I for one, thought Mark Mcguire's speach was terrible and made it clear he was delusional.

If you were going out to talk to the entire world with a television would you go into it off the cuff?

[Collier11]

So he cant think for himself, he doesnt have original thoughts. Its called accountability

This article by Bill Simmons says it perfectly

Tiger's handlers should have taken a clue from the masterful speech Clinton gave after getting nailed for infidelity....

"Members of Congress...people of America.... I banged her.

I banged her like a cheap gong. Which is not news, folks,
because if you think Monica Lewinsky was the only skin-
flute player in my orchestra, you haven't been paying
attention. The only babes in D.C. I haven't tried to do
are The First Lady, Reno, Albright, and Shalala, mostly
because they're a Little older than I like and they have
legs that former Houston Oiler Earl Campbell would envy.
Which isn't to say I don't appreciate Hillary... I do. If
not for the ice-water coursing through her veins, I'd be
Pumping gas into farm equipment in Hope, Arkansas, and
she'd be married to The President.

So, let me set the record straight. I dodged the draft, hid
FBI files, smoked dope, flipped Whitewater property, set up
a new Chinese wing in the White House, fired the travel
staff, paid hush money to Hubbell, sold the Lincoln bedroom
like an upscale Motel 6, and grabbed every *** that entered
the Oval Office. Got it? Good.

Six years ago, there's not a man, woman, or child who
didn't know I was as horny as Woody Allen. But, you elected
me anyway, which turned out to be a good move on your part.
Your other choice was Bush, an aging Baseball player and
part-time resident of some place called "Kennebunkport."
There was Reagan, who left the office with the same
Alzheimer's he came in with. There was Carter before him
who brought you a 17% prime interest rate, smiling the
whole time like his lithium drip had just kicked in. Nixon
before that coined, but never really understood, the
concept of 'plausible deniability,' and almost got a
one-way ticket to San Clemente for his crackerjack style of
governing. Johnson was an inbred, power-mad war criminal
whose major contribution to American society was Agent
Orange. And John Kennedy, who was a little naughty himself,
didn't hang around long enough for America to spot that
curious atavistic tic for "beaver-wrestling" shared by at
least a dozen former residents of the White House. Which
brings me back to my point.

Since I have been strumming the banjo here at the White
House government is doing more for less. The budget is
balanced for the first time since JFK did a one gun salute
to Marilyn, a fact the press didn't seem to care about,
evidently. Unemployment is so low today a blind felon can
get a job as a night- watchman. The stock market is higher
than a D-student on a full gram of dumb-dust, and anyone
with a degree from a junior college who can spell
'internet' has enough money to ponder the annual
maintenance cost of his boat, instead of where his or her
next meal is coming from. Bottom line: I'm running a
country here and I'm doing it with my pecker showing.

What I'm asking for is your support, not a date with your
daughter... unless, of course, she's a hotty with thin
ankles, and then I'd like to discuss it. In the meantime,
think about where you are today and what kind of life
you're living before you get too interested in where I'm
parking the Presidential limousine.

Thank you, good night and God bless America. (Fade out
with "Hail to the Chief" playing in the background)
