That is SUCH absolute BS. The only one that needs to forgive Tiger is his wife.
Everyone else can suck his golf clubs. It's nobodies business. It's between him and his wife. PERIOD!

It's unfortunate isn't?  That all your dirty crap gets aired out.  But that's the price you pay for fame.  That's the real cost.  And he'll have to pay for it all his life, and his children too.

oh my....dont know were to begin....cant even put it into words....I would pray on it but.....ah..nevermind

She should be the one thanking him. She was a nanny when she met him. Now she gets to live the life of a queen. That Tiger's a great guy.

Yes, it's unfortunate that his private business has been made public, but where the fvck do these arrogant sobs get off proclaiming Tiger needs to be forgiven? I have no business even knowing about this, ...let alone 'forgiving him'. Who the heck am I to forgive him? It's none of my damned business.

It's just news.  You follow espn/sportscenter at all?  A few months back, they did a series of news stories on Tom Cable, the Raiders football coach.  He was being scrutinized by the public because he assaulted an assistant coach.  They got his former girlfriend on who said he assaulted him and x-wife too.  ESPN looked more like a trashy drama show.  But it was news.  Tiger story is ripe for stuff like that and some christians will get into the message fax is sending.

There always some arrogant tard that can be a mouthpiece for what ever point of view you need to sell news.   

[Fury]

Tom Cable breaking the jaw of another employee in the Raiders organization is definitely sports related news. Guy should have been arrested and canned.

That's not what I'm talking about.  Tom Cable should have got what ever was coming to him in regards to the law.  What I'm talking about here is ESPN lowing themselves to Jerry Springer levels by interviewing x-girl friends.

The problem i have with this comment about what Tiger needs to do to get forgiveness, is that it presumes he needs our forgiveness, ...or that we as members of the general public are in a position to grant forgivenessness to him.

I agree.,..but worse than that it presumes he needs to switch his religious beliefs to suit and fall in line with the religious beliefs of the Masses & the idiot that said thats personal religion...which is utterly wrong and egotistical on so many levels it's ridiculous.....

yea I can see the press conference guy- I realize the error in my ways I have found Christ my new personal lord & saviour and threw him I have found forgiveness...I only hope that my wife,kids,sponsors and fans can find it in there hearts and sole to show me the same forgiveness....ha ha he should hire me to write his apology speech.....well it's basically the same BS speech that murderers & rapists give after they find god in prison....same BS speech drug addicts give after they sober up & find god...same BS speech all athletes & famous actors give when they screw up big time....basically just a bunch of examples that religion is for the weak sheep & they use it as a tool to reverse there negative problems and save face....It's the easy way out....tiger might as well go for it....

So says the ALL SEEING EYE

Maybe Tiger should do as Kobe Bryant, David Letterman etc have done and that is take his ass back onto the golf course and continue playing the game like nothing happened. America with its two second short term memory won't even remember what happened after he wins his next game. With him moping around in silence adn recluse...it only leaves the wild imaginations open to surmise anything.

Europeans are FAR more forgiving of adultery than Americans.

Beep beep mooney. 

Americans won't care soon enough. 

[Hedgehog]

Why would it help if he became Christian? 

Christianity is just a made up story to explain our existance basically.

It doesn't help him any better than anything else.

He could enroll in a sex addict course just as well.

Or become a member of some kind of human rights organization and do charity work in the 3rd world.

This religious crap is really getting on my nerves.

If it isn't Muslims being offended by some drawings of their "prophet" - then you have some Christian buffon pronouncing that Tiger Woods need to get Christian or he won't be forgiven.


Guess what - I am cool with Tiger Woods. I give a fcuk about his private life.

All I care about is his golf. If I even care about that, that is.


I tend to prefer real sport, you know.

[chadstallion]

and Brit Hume needs to gather up his brain. it fell on the floor.

[24KT]

Absolutely!

You know the really disgusting part of all that? there are some people who would be all over him if he did.
there have even been people on these boards who have said 'they'd leave a spouse who cheated on them, ...unless they discovered Christ, then they'd be willing to forgive them' 

"I've found Christ" = 21st century equivalent of Roman Catholic indulgences.
you can do anything and get away with it, as long as you found christ.

I can see it right now... Khalid Sheik Mohammed will find Christ on the eve of his trial,
...and the Christian fundies will petition for his release.

Supposedly, he's not in much of a position to get back on the links and go about his life as if nothing happened.
He's just gone through surgery. His wife smashed him in the face real good with the golf clubs and knocked out a few teeth. She was PISSED!!!!

[MCWAY]

That is SUCH absolute BS. The only one that needs to forgive Tiger is his wife.
Everyone else can suck his golf clubs. It's nobodies business. It's between him and his wife. PERIOD! 

First, you know darn well that when you are a celebrity and you do something like this, it becomes EVERYONE'S BUSINESS!! That just comes with the turf.

Second, it appears that neither you nor Blacken can hear very well. What Hume said was that, in all likelihood, Tiger's marriage is over.

Hume's comments center on whether Tiger Woods, the man, can recover from this incident. In Hume's view, it will take faith for him to do that and, since Woods is reportedly a Buddhist (a faith that allegedly isn't too high in the forgiveness category), perhaps he should seek the Lord's forgiveness, which would mean a conversion to Christianity.

On an entirely different note, it amazes me as to why Blacken is so obsessed with Fox News. It hasn't dawned on him, yet, that all his blathering doesn't change the fact that his favorite left-winged  network (MSNBC) continues to get DESTROYED by Fox, year after year after year.

But, that is another story.

Apparently not the one Tiger was married to. She knocked his teeth out with his own golf clubs.

[Fury]

Where did you hear this? The police report (and every other relevant news organization) said he had a fat lip and nothing more. He was even partying it up with his whores not even 48 hours after the incident.

What discussion of this nature would be complete, without a supremely bone-headed statement from L Dawg?

No speech is going to clear Tiger Woods from the mess in which he finds himself.  There is no "easy way out" for Woods or anyone else in such a scenario.

Tiger has already paid the price, in terms of the likely destruction of his marriage, millions of dollars in endorsements, and a shattered reputation. Again, Hume's comments were with regards to how Woods, THE MAN, can redeem himself. The concern wasn't for his golf career (likely still intact) or his marriage (likely gone).

[24KT]

Don't kid yourself. Tiger didn't lose the endorsements because he committed adultery.
He lost them because he announced his retirement from Golf. That was the nail in his endorsement coffin.

[MCWAY]

Yes, it's unfortunate that his private business has been made public, but where the fvck do these arrogant sobs get off proclaiming Tiger needs to be forgiven? I have no business even knowing about this, ...let alone 'forgiving him'. Who the heck am I to forgive him? It's none of my damned business.

Is there a point to all this blubbering? Or did you forget that, when this story broke initially, we thought Woods was in a simple car accident?

Don't be so mean to me, ...I found Christ.
