Winter rules Tiger probably eschews,
And ball bumping he’s not likely to choose.

I neither dislike him nor support him in his current situation. It’s easy to construct a paper tiger and tear it up. He’s doing a pretty good job of self-destructing and I think that all he wants is for people to leave him alone and do just that. The tabloids smelled blood in the water and in a feeding frenzy have gone for the kill. It’s what they do. It’s what they are proud to do. I don’t have the stomach for it. It is really just fodder for the least common denominator of society.

@azannaphx Tiger graduated from Western High School in Aneheim, CA and attended Standford University for two years.

Tiger grew up in a bubble that most people who have been celebrities from childhood grow up in. There has never been anything normal about what happens to these people when they get up every day. As children, they do not learn socialization through their playmates. They do not attend public or even private schools; they are tutored at home. They have adult jobs with children’s minds. I am not surprised when I hear that someone that has grown up in such a bubble takes a huge fall.

I just hope that when he gets up, he can make the changes in his life to get some perspective on humanity and who he wants to become as a person. He has given a lot of his money to very noble causes – St Jude’s Children’s Hospital and a built a school for disadvantaged children to name a few. I wish him a complete personal recovery.

So, those who run the Ironman aren’t athletes? Many of the original Olympic games were competitive only in terms of time and distance. Gravity and the natural elements are the defense.

Jovial. Unfortunately for Tiger, his balls turned out to be mightier than everything else in his life.

He was an enigma. We found out that the flesh was mightier than his golf balls. That money to him was to fail his wife and conquer other stupidities.

Sports will always guarantee a good fight but in itself is not a guarantor of character.

I am told by one highly opinionated son. “It’s not a sport is there is no defense” and “Golfers and bowlers are not athletes.” Other wise I am sure he would agree 100%. I do prefer a defense; like Marcus Trufant, Julian Peterson, Darrell Tapp, and Dick Butkus types. Put them out there on the golf course to knock the balls away and tackle the golfers and I’ll get excited.
