Tiger Woods is a douche.

[Michael Frank]

EMF, I'm no Woods fan, but a bad knee in golf could make a huge difference. It is a more precise game than football. Miss-hitting the ball by 1/16 of an inch and you've mis-hit it completely--it isn't landing on the green. Miss it by 1/8 of an inch underneath it, you now have a fat shot that goes 50 yards and not 250 yards, and a lot of mud in your face.

It's probably akin to having an arthritic finger in archery-- probably a big effect there, too.

If a runner has but a "sore" toe, he cannot be at his best.

It's all relative.

hearing of carlin's sad passing today brought me back to one of his funny rants, this one on golf.

I like to watch & play the game, but i've got to admit hes got some really funny takes on it.

the tiger haters & golf=darts guys here, if you havent seen this, please watch, make sure your laptop isnt on your lap, you'll probaly like this rant so much that your laptop will end up above your head.

i threw in a robin williams funny rant on it too, both good stuff:

Still a douche!

[10-8]

Does that mean the difference between a golf ball and a Cadillac Escalade is that Tiger Woods can drive the ball 400 yards?

[Off The River]

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. That, my good man, is the funniest joke I heard in a long time! Thank you. You made my day.

The rumour mill has been running full tilt on this thing. I've heard that the wife was after him with a golf club because of infidelity even. My personal thought is that he was drunk. Leaving the house at 2:30am, running over a fire hydrant and then running into a tree? Then cancelling interviews with the cops for three straight days? And the final analysis is that he is charged with careless driving and getting a $150 fine, because there was insufficient evidence to force the hospital to give them their reports. Kind of gives the impression that the cops also think he was drunk, but don't have enough proof to get the hospital records, that would show he was drunk.

Pretty judgy, I know. But I've also made it no secret that I think the guy is a spoiled brat with a serious case of "the world owes me everything" entitlement.

[gregbeyer]

my personal thought is......... SO WHAT.

greg

[Off The River]

Yeah, It's pretty human. It just gives me a chance to rag on golf and golfers.

[10-8]

My belief is that he left the house at 2:30 AM to go 'clubbing' saw the fire hydrant and the tree, couldn't decide between iron or wood so he used both.

[Off The River]

bah-dump-dump!

[10-8]

On a more serious note....

The police needed reasonable grounds to get a search warrant for Woods' hospital records specifically a blood analysis. That would likely come in the form of a witness who could attest to Woods being or appearing drunk, smelling of alcohol etc....at the time of the accident. The police wouldn't be able to go on a fishing expedition and just get a warrant, hoping to find that his blood/alcohol content was over the legal limit. Hospital records are confidential and can't be turned over to the authorities without a warrant unless it's with the signed consent of the patient.

Because Woods refused to speak with the police it likely lead them to decide to try and dig deeper but in lieu of any evidence of impairment, all Woods was really looking at all along was a traffic ticket.

[Off The River]

Hmm... and I would have figured that running your car into a fire hydrant or a tree would be reasonable grounds for a search warrant.

I never would have made it in law enforcement.

Bad driving alone won't do it. Sober people drive poorly too.

The police need some evidence of impairment to get a search warrant sworn to in order to get hospital records. As I said before, a witness to say that he smelled of alcohol or appeared drunk etc...at the time of the incident.

[hawk5ins]

bad "drives" myself.

And I always blame it on DWI.

Been guilty of PWI and CWI as well.

Tiger just got caught in the action of chasing chicks.Unfortunately, it's going to hurt him for a long time.His wife could've killed him.

[10-8]

I'm not sure what would be more dangerous. Having you kids sleep over at Michael Jackson's house or having Tiger Woods drive them there.

[TDKO]

Tiger yelled,"FORE"!

M.J. yelled, "FOUR"!

(on a bad roll today)

[Counter Jab]

IMHO? Celebs will always be under scrutiny. I think he admitted today of marital indescretion. OK, so let's move on; obviously this will tarnish his image for a time but with all the thuggery/piss-arse morals in professional sports these last 10 years or so, Tiger has always paid homage to the great golfers of the past and, for the most part, been a model gentleman. Bless any of our semi-talented butts in whatever sport we were able to dominate and see how we would pan out. My own 'dirty laundry' would lay me out to dry!
Ray Lewis? Yeah, he didn't pull the trigger but he's a friggin thug that hangs out with thugs etc, etc...Tiger doesn't belong in the same ballpark with that crap...
Drop it!!!

[TDKO]

So Tiger has fessed up...sort of....

http://feeds.cbsnews.com/~r/CBSNewsM...n5863227.shtml

In all fairness, he has never been any bastion of morality,

and this news feeding frenzy distracts from what is really going on in this world

that has true importance.....

Don't tempt me....

You know, I honestly think in my heart of hearts. That had Hitler chosen golfers INSTEAD of the Jewish people... The world would be a much better place. (my keyboard skills are terrible )

But then again... Perhaps that would have been a reason to create a nation state of Golfers.

Would it have been created in Scotland?

Would placing the bolded in the above made the intent a little less offensive?

[Off The River]

I suppose it would have. I didn't think the golfers on this board were actually that sensitive though.

Wasn't 'golf' originally an acronym for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden? Sounds like golf courses were the original gay bars.

[gregbeyer]

what a backfire... "could you please remove"...... no on second thought give the message to the media. how many women did tiger think he could jilt before this blew up ?

these are different times than when JFK and his transgressions were hushed by the media. and how many famous golfers are breathing a sigh of relief that they missed the computer age with their reps intact ?

put your future in the hands of a cocktail hostess and a reality show contestant... very discreet. and your a stanford grad ?

wow.. i have tried to hold my tongue on this but jeese louise.... who could not be tempted by the material this provides.

a golfer asking someone to improve his LIE.

greg

[hawk5ins]

and btw, you wouldn't tell ANYONE, would you?"

Must be an awesome feeling to think you are bullet proof.

I mean, up until the point when you get pumped full of lead by your familiy, the media, your fans, your peers, your friends and your critics.

Improve his LIE.

Nice.

[walshb]

I have to say, Parnevik let himslef down by slating Woods today. I know he knew Elin, but she is Woods' wife now and it was no business of Jesper's to be so public in his criticism of Woods. No other golfer has come out to criticise, but Jesper has, and in doing so, has encouraged others to. Maybe Jesper is just a jealous dude who can't stand that Woods is so much better than him on the green

Woods is just a man who succumbed to women. It's not the first time and won't be the last time that this thing happens.

BTW, does anyone find it odd that none of the women were black women?

[gregbeyer]

or asian.

parnevik is a blow hard. he needs to concentrate on Q school. if he does pass it will be interesting to see him and tiger paired up in a tourney... which is doubtful because jesper will never reach that level again.

another thing just popped up. tigers neighbor who responded at the scene of the accident was asked if tiger was conscious and his very puzzling reply was that "he was snoring"....

With all due respect 10-8, you trash Mel (who was drunk at the time) and ignore other anti-Jewish comments from the left...
Jessie: "Hymie town"
Jimmy Carter quite simply sold the Jews down the tubes in his latest book; an 80+ year old Socialist moron who's visit to Cuba in 2004 showed his true misguided colors.
Hugo Chavez at the Arab conference two years ago talking about "those people" who are the 'real problem'? Does anyone need a translation there?
Farrakan? His anti-Jewish horse-poo is a matter of record...
etc...etc...
