Eye-opener: The Woods statement - who cares
So Tiger Woods is going to open his mouth...in front of a few "friends" and probably several millions on TV.
Big deal.
This session where people are actually allowed to watch in person the golfing great state his case is way over the top. It's so unnecessary and just another example of controlling his image. (USA TODAY had more than 20 photos of Woods jogging near his Florida home yesterday, the same day he announced he's breaking his silence). But there'll be no questions from what Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, labels a "small group of friends, colleagues and close associates." So, why attend? Wouldn't just releasing a statement or taping an apology prove enough?...Don't you – Mr. and Mrs. Golf Fan – care more how he'll fare on the golf course where he's still young enough at 34 to break Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major titles? The marriage stuff – so what.

I'm sure that it's not coincidence on his part that his return the the media world event is happening while the ACCENTURE Match Play Championships are going on, since Accenture was one of the 1st sponsors to drop him

The news has been talking about this today. What could possibly be so groundbreaking ? We all know what he did, he'll say sorry, take no questions and that's that. Even if he could take questions, what could come out of it?

"Tiger! Why did you do it?"

"I was thinking with my weiner...."

No need to watch it i already have the whole speech down it will go like this.

Hello everyone and thank you for coming, first and foremost i would like to apologize to my wife, my family, my friends, my fans and the pgatour. My actions for the last few months are embarrassing and uncalled for. I am a new man ive gone thru rehab and I decided to have my press conference here because i plan on playing in early may right here at sawgrass. I cannot go back in time and change my actions all i ask for is that my family, friends, and fans please know im regretful of my actions and all i ask for is that in time you will accept my apology. Thank you for being here and again i am sorry.

Yup thats how its gonna go folks no reason to tune in thats pretty much the script he has in his hands from his lawyer and colleagues. Quick to the point, im sorry blah blah and simple, we forgave Kobe, Magic Johnson, michael jordan and his orge fests we will him too and u willl watch him, i dont care if you say nope never again u will either watch him to root for him or against him depending on how u come out of this. Personally i think he will channel this rage towards his opponents and be dominant again, your thoughts?

Blah blah blah. Tiger, from the moment this thing broke, was damned if he did and damned if he didn't no matter what. It may be staged as a controlling PR move but for months people have questioned him not speaking up and setting the record straight and issuing a statement. Now the same media outlets and commentators are on his back, not for saying anything, but rather how he has chosen to do so. Even if he held a press conference with reporters and took questions, there would still be those that would crack wise and shake their finger back and forth. Who the hell cares. Its not like he did it on Sunday of Accenture and is being completely disrespectful.

I can not wait until Tiger gets back on tour and starts banging out W's left and right with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. This stuff was mildly entertaining for a short time, even for someone that normally could care less and hates these celebrity moments, but let's get this statement made, find out when he will be back, and get back to business.

I'm going to be looking super close at his teeth in his press conference tomorrow! If his top left front tooth is the SAME color as his top right front tooth, that will in my mind end a bunch of credence to the theory that Elin flushed a 9 iron and took a nice divot out of Tiger's face/teeth just before the SUV crash! :lol:

Personally, I think he shouldn't do a damned thing, but be himself. Divorce his wife, go back to slaying the competition and slaying women like he's Gene Simmons. Not all people are cut out for monogamy or marriage. Nothing wrong with it. I think the thought of rehab turning him into Jim Bob Duggar is about as believable as Ted Haggard being a 'recovering gay man'

Getting a kick out of watching many of the women that I employ in my office watch his speech and they're comments about him :eek:

My reply when I got acused of being a "typical male" :rolleyes: was "how would you feel if it was Oprah or Ellen making a similar annoucement to this??" They at least paused for a millisecond before they continued to male bash me ;) :lol:

From this woman's perspective, he is sincere and its none of our business how he and his wife work it out.
He knows that his actions have made a huge impact on being a roll model to kids and he seems very remorseful.

This is why we need to be our own kids' roll model, and hope that we can be what they need us to be.

Quite.

But beyond that, the people whom we admire should impress the same upon our children.

Relax, I don't have any, yet.

As an example, though, two of my personal hereos, Gene Kranz and Paul Newman, have qualities and traits mirroring those of my folks.

...Tiger's conference was something. Think he could've thrown in a few words dealing with his dedication to the products more than talking about how he's going to behave in the future....as if anyone cares...:lol::lol::lol:. Up there on my top ten list...pretty close to both George Wallace's VP pick news conference with Curtis LeMay...and RIP Alexander Haig's "I am in control" speech...

All that presser showed was just what a control freak he is, serves him right the main camera went out so we couldnt see his facial reactions looking into it, see that wouldnt have happened under normal circumstances. Theres only 2 questions people wanna know well 3, how many women was it, how long has this been going on since u were married and when will u return to golf, and since he didnt answer any he will get hounded, and i love the plz stop following my family around and taking pictures of my wife and kids hey jackass the guy takin pictures of your wife and kids does that so he can feed his wife and kids and now that u brought it up they will come harder now and take more pictures. And today Stevie williams says no heckling will be tolerated even better lol http://sportsworldchat.com/index.php?topic=150.0

One part of his speech that I had no idea why he spoke of his a brief mention of being accused of using performance enhancing drugs.

A. What does that have to do with your affairs

B. If you don't want to put a bulls eye on your back, don't bring something like that up.

That would truly be the nail in the coffin on his career. If it was discovered he was juicing

Tiger was just speaking about the media and its false accusations in general. There was rumors about performance enhancing drugs to go along with the rumors of the women. He had the bullseye on his back but it was not nearly half as big a bullseye as the ladies and there was no real substantiation of the claims unlike the legitimacy of the adultery.

Even if he had juiced... it seems like most top pro athletes that have juiced went on to have fine careers after they were outed.

Whats the difference between a car and a golf ball?


Tiger can drive a golf ball more than 100 meters
