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.

I just don't think Tiger owes us anything.

I feel sad for him.

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}

At least the G/F was not under age!

Like miiiiiine? Bwahaha.

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

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:

Yes she did with his iron nonetheless

Take the kids and leave, sorry I have big issues with cheaters, celebrity or not

yes, i'll trade you for a :driedel:

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...

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