The Tiger Woods Thing
 
Since all of the drama began last Friday morning, we here at TigerCast have been asked almost continuously from all corners of the internet, what our take on this whole thing is. As we, like you, are continuing to get new, sordid information on a daily basis, we felt it was irresponsible to make any sort of statement until the time was right and we felt we had enough information to make any such statement.

At this point, though, I think we know enough to be able to offer this, our feelings about all of this:

Though we have been making lots of jokes about this, along with everyone else, and are just as interested to see what happens next, we here at TigerCast have to say quite honestly that we are really, truly, very disappointed in all of this. Though Tiger's dominance on the golf course is legendary and will never be matched, what we really, truly liked about Tiger was that, even with all the fame and pressure and cash, he still seemed to be able to both maintain the focus on his professional career, but more than that, be a genuinely good guy. Even as it seemed every other high-profile, rich athlete eventually found himself in some sort of embarrassing shit, it seemed for so long that the HIGHEST profile, and the RICHEST athlete of them all managed to stay above it.

Probably naive on our part, but we so wanted to believe.

And now this. We feel a deep, dark, disappointed pit in our stomach every time we think about this. We will not go so far as to completely disown him after all these years, but our admiration has taken a huge, if not irreparable hit. It does not help that Tiger seems to have handled this entire situation as poorly as you could imagine, if he had any interest in coming through this looking like anything other than a slimy, lying pussy of a scumbag.

So we'll continue to joke. And we'll continue to hit refresh on deadspin and TMZ every five seconds looking for updates.

But we hurt. We hurt bad. We hope he turns it around somehow, un-pussies himself, gets out there and says yes, I've been a giant douche, I suck, please forgive me, because we probably still could.

But this sucks. That is our statement.

P.S. John Ziegler is still a bit of a giant prick.

suebee 12-02-2009 04:57 PM

Tiger posted a very humble apology on his website today. I looked for the story where I read this but couldn't find it again. He took full responsibility and said he hadn't lived up to his own values. He also asked to be left alone so that he could deal with this in private. If I find the story again I'll post a link.

SuperFemme 12-02-2009 04:58 PM

The same weekend Tiger Woods had his one man car crash and women started selling txt's to TMZ? David Hasselhoff got so drunk he had seizures and was admitted on a 5150 psych hold. While he was on the way to the hospital his ex-wife got busted for DUI and blew a .14 almost twice the legal limit.

Why is the press not screaming for the children to be taken away from these two losers instead of worry about which sand trap Tiger is sticking his five iron in?

Apocalipstic 12-02-2009 05:03 PM

I just don't think Tiger owes us anything.

I feel sad for him.

Rook 12-02-2009 05:13 PM

I think the answer's easy...
Whether they admit it or not, the Press adores sensationalism...
Let's put on a balance those stories....
A has-been who tries for a come-back with a uniquely talentless show getting so Drunk, he winds up hospitalized for 72 hrs [5150 is they hold u cuz you're a risk to yourself, and others, whether u like it or not, tight security measures to ensure u stay]....
Or....
A world-wide role-model, Bi-Racial Wealthy Sports Genius in a sport predominantly White, having a rather long affair, getting caught with his pants down in an accident, covering it and being a rather whiney petulant child in the process making matters worse for himself by being Non-Cooperative.....
hmmm

I can just feel the Ratings soar....
:movieguy:
{think along the lines of Kobe Bryant, R. Kelly, Michael Jordan "scandals".....Bill Clinton doesn't count}

apretty 12-02-2009 06:46 PM

admittedly i can laugh at the most inappropriate times--so, i did when i heard that woods' wife attacked him with one of his own golf clubs.

(and again i'm reminded that the master's tools can't dismantle the master's house)

--for example, it would be like smacking me with a vintage aluminum xmas tree. --which i can't find in town for under 250! 2 years ago they were under 50 dollars-- i would duck out of the way but, also try to catch and save the precious tree, especially if it had the spinning stand and rainbow/plastic light thingy--

Like miiiiiine? Bwahaha.

NotAnAverageGuy 12-02-2009 08:36 PM

i hope she leaves him and takes half or more of what he has

Turino 12-02-2009 08:52 PM

She already got his rear window!!!

Actually, he is not so clean..the companies he attaches his name to are environmentally disasterous (chevron)...and a golf course built with slave labor in Dubai ... read here

He has no conscience regarding who he endorses and obviously that extended to his personal life.

More Tiger less Afganistan and Health Care..

but at least we get a break from the birthing teabaggers... :backdoorsex:

Rook 12-03-2009 12:03 AM

I have huge unresolved issues regarding Cheaters, celebrity or not, I totally agree....
I discuss it in therapy...srsly.. *L*
They seem to think I got something wrong in me because I don't think or dwell about it, I find out I'm cheated on, clothes + belonging on the first time, Out [ think "the crying game"..Fish Bowl go Boom]...
I find out someone cheated on a Loved one? They might as well call themselves charles manson and embroider a big red A on their chest....
I won't acknowledge 'em...

I completely agree with you J ..... I feel sad for him and his family . This it's not sensation , it's tragedy for all the people involved including his children .

Diva 12-04-2009 11:27 PM

I agree with both of you....

There is SO much pressure on them to be 'super human'....and they're just not.....

It is very sad.
And it is the children who will suffer the most.


MsDemeanor 12-04-2009 11:36 PM

Every time I get a CNN Breaking News email about this.....

Every time it appears as a headline.....

Every time one of my MSNBC fav's wastes time on this story....

I scream IT'S NOT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, the Chinese news animation story is too fucking funny..

There's a follow-up video floating around that they did of Tiger calling his girlfriend. I'll have to track that one down.

Just_G 12-05-2009 12:21 AM

LOL...Ah, gotta love quick wit...:huhlaugh:

Foooore!!! :golf:

Duchess 12-05-2009 02:25 AM

Tiger is, without a doubt, a golf GOD. However, at the end of the day he is simply a man. The flesh is weak, no matter the occupation. I hope that things turn out for the best for him and his wife. I really feel sorry for celebrities that experience the dark side of being human. They're not gifted with privacy.

Frankly, I don't expect anything personal from Tiger. He's not my hero. He's not my idol. He's not my role model. To me, he's just a dude that totally RAWKS at golf...:golf:

Corkey 12-06-2009 05:08 PM

Whatever happened is between he and his wife. Speculation, innuendo and TMZ aren't helping the situation.
He's human, no matter what his profession, and as such:ohm: is fallible. I wish his family a huge amount of healing.

HumV4me 12-06-2009 05:52 PM

I can not wait till something else happens somewhere else so the spot light can beam in another dirrection and off this family... People just need to leave them alone.

MsDemeanor 12-07-2009 10:47 AM

News sources are now reporting that every woman in America slept with Tiger Woods. Apparently he is that well endowed.

The_Lady_Snow 12-07-2009 11:15 AM

I like Tiger Woods... I knew better than to think that he was out for a mid morning run, that his wife really saved him..

Do I care?

Nah, he cheated, that is their marriage not mine..

*I* Snow am not married to Tiger Woods, does his infidelities take away from what he has accomplished in golf?

No....

He was Tiger Mother Fucking Woods way before he married this chick, and it shall continue to be so...

Will she stay??

*shakes* mah 8 ball....

yeap she will for the tune of say 80 mill after 7 years...

What does oog me out is this...

This chick had golf clubs in her hand, or golf club, she bashed his windows in, it's a good thing it was not his head, then the jokes would not be so funny..

Domestic violence I am not down with, nor do I find it funny..

That is what is more perturbing to me, the fact that the police did not dig a lil further into that particular matter..

Do I believe she saved El Tigre? No I do think and this is just me speculating, I do think his wife came after him, 9 iron swingin..

THAT to me is disturbing, that and the fact he and his wife are getting more news coverage than the 30 thousand troops heading to Afghanistan..

Just sayin

So now I am gonna throw in another scenario that I bet the media or the gossip mongers would of not of found ha ha funny..

IF Tiger Woods had come after his wife, with any kind of golf club be it real or a kiddie one..

This story would have a different twist to it...

Angry black man tries to kill wife... I guarantee no one would be making any jokes about that.. Yet his pretty blonde blue eyed wife can bash his windows in and it's a joke..:wtf:

Funny how double standards are eh?


FORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:badscore:

I agree that neither scenario is funny at all.

What if she had actually hit him? Would she be excused because he is Male? Black? becasue he cheated?

This is so very sad all around.

I wonder if we expect as much from ourselves as we do from public figures?

Andrew, Jr. 12-08-2009 01:17 PM

I feel bad for the children. They are the ones who are the ones suffering, and are going to suffer for the rest of their lives.

Tiger worked hard to maintain his "public image" in turn earning tons of $$$. And 9 women come out talking about their sex life & relationship. :coffee: I could careless.

How it ends...it makes no difference to me. That is between Tiger and his wife - and the lawyers involved.

Andrew, Jr. 12-12-2009 07:43 AM

I heard the news that Tiger is taking a break from golf to work on his relationship with his wife, his children, and other family members. Good for him. I hope he finds what it is he is searching for.

Diva 12-12-2009 08:03 AM

I'm not trying to excuse his behavior. But why are we so quick to believe these women? ALL of them?

And what compels a woman to 'come forward' to tell HER side of the story? He broke her heart? Come ON. He was MARRIED for God's sake. I know there are always umpteen sides of any story.....

But when a woman comes forward and whines how a married man broke her heart.....it just blows my mind.....

This whole story is so, so sad to me. But we keep watching, don't we?

NotAnAverageGuy 12-12-2009 08:37 AM

As a person who has seen cheating upfront, they come out of the woodwork because they want to be known, they want the media that goes along with cheating with a person. Some women just love the drama of it all.

Some people are just proud that they cheat and flaunt it.

If he has to pay his wife to stay with him then she has some issues and she needs to leave, I feel for his kids because I have seen what cheating does to kids. If the kids, when they get older, find out, the anger and resentment they feel towards their father will change everything. You can forgive but you won't forget.

I agree.

Last night, I heard a report that one of her friends said she came from a broken home herself, and she was bound & determined to try and keep the marriage together. If this is the case, I admire her. But then yes, there IS that small 'little' offer of $5 million....and then turning right around and buying a $2 million home in the Netherlands with her sister......

So here comes the speculation! Right?

OH! And here's another thing.......so the women are coming out of the woodwork and I'm hearing "professionals" jump to conclusions that TW has a sex addiction.

Does this seem to be a little presumptious?

Again.....I'm not defending him. AT ALL. But jeez Louise.....I SO wish we could leave them ALL alone, let them try to work it out/salvage what they have and not be so hungry for the downfall of someone... and not so hungry for The Almighty Scoop.

:putting:

no its not presumptious IMO, my ex brother in law, who cheated, has addictions and yes sex is one of them. Alot of people have addiction issues but being in the limelight doesnt help either, nor has TW came to say anything about it, that he wants to remain private, you should have thought about that before you sent text messages and phone calls to these women.


Why the wife took the money and bought a house I am not sure, she might be using it as a means of escape or buying it to leave him, only time will tell.

then again this is just my output on the subject

Dean Thoreau 12-12-2009 10:29 AM

cant we leave the woods alone?
 
What I dont understand is why we love to see "heroes" fall,,and love to gossip about them.

Not to be a pita..ok maybe to be a pita....but
Not one of us is close friends to any of the people so why do we speculate?
We base our speculation on rumors, propaganda,,and bs....
What good does it bring us?
What good does it bring them?



Cant we just, give them some privacy and respect and hope like hell our friends when we go thru such things dont talk about us they way we do strangers.

Happy Holidays.....

Andrew, Jr. 12-12-2009 11:30 AM

Dean, :hangloose:

I think we are fascinated because TW is a golf icon. He has earned billions of dollars doing what he loved, and what we all wish we could achieve, but never will. We all want to think and believe that TW was beyond anything human, and now this makes him more like us.

Just my 2 cents worth.

MsDemeanor 12-12-2009 11:47 AM
