Tiger Woods: Pathetic and apologetic

Full story: Chicago Sun-Times

I was baffled then, and I'm baffled now. What was that embarrassing public flagellation Tiger Woods put himself through a week ago? If it was an apology to his wife, Elin, for his unfaithfulness, then why did he make it in front of a global audience? Rick Telander If it was an apology to his fans, then why include such personal details and have his ...

Sheesh, I didn't think the apology was that hard to understand; it simply satisfied many of the steps in a recovering addict program by publically addressing all those that may have been hurt by his behavior -- including those who may have considered him a role model.
On the other hand, maybe Telander couldn't understand what was said, and why it was said because the right side of his brain wasn't engaged:
he was trying to analyze it the usual male way, with only the left side. And no doubt that occurred because Telander was repulsed by the self-emasculation of a hero.
Nonetheless, Tiger's speech thoroughly identified all that his behavior may have affected, and provided sufficient information to achieve his goal. It was certainly one of the bravest speeches I've heard.

Oh, I'm sure he regrets getting caught. I'm equally sure he didn't see anything morally wrong with what he was doing. He felt, after all, "entitled," just like all those other sports super stars who try to prove their masculinity with casual sex. Unlike them, however, he chose a different direction, probably one that's a whole lot less satisfying to narcistic and egotistical males. What's more, to do that, he must've valued something or someone more than his ego. Was it a desire to regain those endorsements, love for his family, or a compelling need to be well regarded?

Women are hilarious when it comes to Tiger. They get so caught up in it. Perhaps you 2 women should watch your back. Your men are probably cheating on your azz right now.Forget Tiger worry about your selves

Someone should have told Tiger that, "If you don't go Black, you'll get set back!" Before the snow gets through with him, he'll be thrilled to accept Black.

The women are Right, Tiger Woods is a bad excuse for a man.
He is a Claytons man, the man you are having when you are not having a man.

He is not even a golfer anymore He is just a Gopher.

I bet this guy comes back and wins the Masters and gives us all the bird!! He has that special way of taking the spotlight. The only thing he did wrong was actually getting married. Should have not done that if he wasn't committed. He doesn't have a sex addiction anymore than anyone of us does who'd take advanatge of our notoriety if we were in the same position.

I hope he wins just to see the upheavel that's created.

The problems you've been experiencing with a certain person lately come to a head during the next fortnight, making you feel that you have to take drastic action or lay down the law. Yet this could make the situation worse than ever, especially if you act from a sense of panic or desperation. Take things gently and don't throw your weight around unless it's absolutely necessary.
