Tiger Woods car/life crash

don't get up there and blatantly condescend and front like the real crime here is that your privacy got invaded

he didnt do this tho! the privacy thing was about 30 seconds of a 15-minute speech

he said, like, over and over that he was to blame, and he was the only to blame, and that he was deeply sorry

but ultimately, none of it matters. he'll be back on tour this year and everyone will have forgotten about this by the time he wins two majors.

i mean i dont really give a shit about him apologizing the way jordan does so maybe im being more lenient but i thought it was a fine, sincere apology

yeah i know max i still think "leave my family alone" was megalol in that speech

i thought it was a silly, transparently insincere apology but i otherwise agree with max.

eh. i think its pretty fucked up that ppl are following his kids to school.

but ultimately, none of it matters.

this - I still shake my head that kobe is lauded and given hi fives all around despite being accused of rape. and aren't there nfl players playing right now who have been accused of murder? ray lewis, I think?

i actually dont know what woods could have done to convince any of you that his apology was insincere? i mean this is a ridiculous debate to be having since a) none of us really have the right to demand an apology from him so our observation of his sincerity is beside the issue and b) none of us know the guy personally so judgments of his sincerity are gonna be totally abstract

i agree but, tbf, big difference is "accused/beat the charge" v. "convicted/admitted" (xp)

oh, i don't care if his apology was sincere or insincere. he didn't owe me an apology. just saying it sounded insincere to me (and maybe that's because of something innocuous, e.g., my feelings about the matter coloring how i viewed the apology; his generally stiff demeanor; etc.)

i actually dont know what woods could have done to convince any of you that his apology was insincere?

ended his speech by lasciviously winking @ a sexxxy pr chick and asking how she was doin'

p sure tiger woods owes me an apology for never once hitting on me i mean cmon

anyway i think its p sickening the way jordan and sportswriters and whoever else are all demanding their pound of flesh from the guy but i dont really expect any different from this country, everyone just wants to be offended and watch ppl cry

whores, all of you

anyway i think its p sickening the way jordan and sportswriters and whoever else are all demanding their pound of flesh from the guy but i dont really expect any different from this country

i'm not sure what this means

oh i misread you, nevermind

i guess my thing is that i don't understand how getting in front of a camera and saying "i'm sorry, i fucked up" is a pound of flesh, but w/e

a pound of adulterous semen

i guess my thing is that i don't understand how getting in front of a camera and saying "i'm sorry, i fucked up" is a pound of flesh, but w/e

the pound flesh bit is that a) he doesnt owe this to you, and b) he did it anyway and c) youre still complaining!

well, i want to emphasize that i don't personally care about the sincerity of his apology -- it didn't come off as sincere to me, but that's really besides the point of if he should've done it or not in the first place -- speculation upthread on whether or not it was "good" was solely from the standpoint of "how will this play with the public"

basically the pursuit of worldwide fame and the attainment of it turns people into insane robots who are seemingly incapable of having emotions or actions that aren't overly studied.

i think woods' biggest worry in that regard is having to take off months to address this issue (e.g., SEX THERAPY -- what happens in SEX THERAPY, anyway?)

Hope it's not anything like this album:

sex therapy: officially a bad album. you heard it from stephen ilxor

I wasn't referring to the album (haven't heard it and I'd like to keep it that way, thanks) so much as the disembodied hands creeping all over Robin's body -- a pun on the phrase "sex therapy" that I'm sure you can figure out, kevin.

Hence why I hope sex therapy for Tiger isn't anything like what's on the Robin Thicke album *cover* (key word "cover" missing in my original post, fwiw).

I don't get the pun :/

Sex therapy = using sex as therapy...

why so unhappy, robin thicke?!?

they don't look like menacing zombie hands, or anything.

That wasn't my point...

xp was thinking the exact same thing and trying to come up with a horror pun. sex the rapy? ???

oh i wasn't addressing ilxor's pun at all. i just think robin thicke should be happier!

What gives you the impression he's not happy? Dude gets to tour the world with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson, making millions belting his white boy R&B tunes to his fans, and gets to bang his high school sweetheart/wife on the side.

i know nothing of him (never heard of robin thicke). but if he gets to hang-out with beyonce and jennifer hudson, he should be a happy guy. smile, robin thicke!

he also put a ring on this:

Gets really good around 2:08 fwiw.

gatorade drops tiger

so his first tournament back will be the masters. as well as that sets up for him, it's borderline disrespectful imo.

More like the Master(bator), amirite?

Disrespectful in what way?

aawww yeah, this is gonna be so sick

i feel what CAD's saying -- just that he's taking the biggest event in the sport and making it about him, more than it would ever be normally, at least -- he could have played a smaller tournament a week or two ahead of time, i guess -- it seems like by picking the masters he's inviting the pressure onto himself on purpose, like it might make him play better? idk why else he wouldn't play a warm up tourney beforehand

yeah i dunno it's just that the masters/augusta national is pretty much the hallowed ground for golf in america and to a certain extent he's going to overshadow golf's best weekend in a way that wouldn't have been so extreme if he had played some other tournament in advance.

otoh it's an extremely protective environment and has much more of a sense of decorum than other tournaments so it totally makes sense for him.

yeah i think he wouldnt play anywhere else 1st just cuz of the crush of media that it would attract -- that is really minimized at augusta. i guess also, he may just not be competatively ready to.

when he flames out after the first two days, the media frenzy will be unbearable

Smart (i.e. calculated) choice on his part in that the tournament directors keep a very tight grip on "patron" behavior. Still, I'm predicting a few "get in the hole!!!"s will be replaced with "BLOWJOB!!!!"s.

fwiw i'd support that being the new thing everyone shouts in the crowd at every golf tournament.

it would be kind of amazing if hecklers followed Vijay Singh around shouting "BLOW JOB!!!!"

"GET IN THE BUTT HOLE"

which competitor is gonna pull a mini-tonya harding & hire four slutty blondes to follow tiger around the course just within his peripherals

Yeah, the choice of tournament as an attempt to minimize gallery jeers is going to be futile. Jim Nantz and his crew of respectful whisperers will tut-tut the bad behavior; meanwhile Sean McManus will roll around naked in a pile of Nielsen ratings reports.
