15 Minutes of Stupidity

Tiger and his wife

On Tiger Woods’ website he made an apology.    He said he did a bad bad thing.  He indicated he may have cheated.  This horrified me to think another star athlete has cheated just like Mark McGuire (supposedly),  Tim Montgomery, and the Iron Sheik.

How could a man, who I admired and emulated, do this to me?  How could Tiger, the greatest golfer in the history of mankind, do such a thing?  How could he disrespect the game the way that he did?  Oh wait he didn’t disrespect the game.  Tiger the Golfer did not cheat in golf but on his wife.  He disrespected his wife and family.  And this affects me how????

If it wasn’t for poor and reckless driving (it’s hard to drive with a golf club swinging at your windshield), we would have never been the wiser (unless one of these bimbos decided to sell their story).  This whole incident would have been behind closed doors.  I learned a long, long time ago that the people you see in public are different than the people they are outside the public eye.  I can tell you of a story about an actor who appeared on the Tonight Show, telling how he cleaned up his act and no longer was drinking or doing drugs and the week following that he was with me asking me to score a couple of grams for him.  I could also tell you of a newlywed musician who appeared on Entertainment Tonight talking about his new wife and how happy he was and the next week he was thanking a buddy for getting him a virgin the night before at the recording studio.

I am not sure Tiger needed to apologize to me but that was his choice.  My choice is to realize that Tiger the Golfer is who I admire and not Tiger the Man and that is your choice too I guess.
