Good for Chris Stroud.  Ill be sure to watch for him tomorrow.

I think Tiger needs to realize that there is more to life than golf.  He should know that based on his life the past several months.  I know that he needs (as most athletes do) to be intense about his play, but if he allows himself to not try to be perfect, he might actually enjoy his life.  Will he go down as the best golfer of all times if he plays that way the rest of his life, maybe not.  If his goal is to be perfect he needs to quit now and continue his life without pro golf.  I like watching Tiger play and enjoy his passion and enthusiasm.  I just think he needs to learn to relax and enjoy.

to Baddog.  That is not the only thing i remember about Kennedy.  Matter of fact i wasn't alive then.  I was simply using it as an example.  Kennedy did many great things as president, but also had personal woes.  MLK was a great man that lead many needed changes in our country.  It doesn't mean that he was perfect with respect to his personal life.  I agree that it is deplorable that Tiger cheated the way he did.  there is nothing more sacred than the bond of marriage.  anyone that doesn't think so does not take their vows seriously.  I guess these people ar a product of the disposable generations.  Don't like her, get rid of her and get another.  Or keep her and just dont get caught, oops  he did, so now hes sorry.  Hes sorry all right.  Sorry he got caught. 

i agree.  very good post baddog.  I didnt know about the reports that he paid for sex from these women.  Now that i know, my thoughts have changed.  Thanks for the info.  Im glad that you taught me something instead of slamming it down me.  I just dont like the thought that we need to have athletes as role models for our kids.  Parents should be the best role models.  I acted right growing up because i didnt want to disappoint my dad.  I respect him that much.  I do agree that they should be a little more careful about what they do because of the scrutiny they are under.

Who cares if its "just a one night stand"  Its still cheating.  Thats the double standard there.  If you cheat once you are still a cheater.  Come on.  We all know at least one guy that sleeps around on his wife.  Do you never speak to them again or say that they are the worst person in the world.  No.  People just care and make a big deal about it because its Tiger.  If it was the 135th ranked guy on the tour it would make the crawl, maybe. 

I wasn't that suprised.  They brought in tallent from all over the country.  what is supprising is that they haven't used any of the local tallent.  There are plenty of good local ball players that don't have the tallent right now to play d-1 but they can play 2 years fo us.  we could really have a good team next year.

What's so amazing is the double standard I see here.  Tiger is bad and horrible because he cheated on his wife. I dont approve of cheating, but let's look at who is still seen as "great":  Kennedy, a womanizer, Clinton, got impeached due to his lying about his affair.  Both are still seen by many as two of the greatest presidents ever.  Come on and smell what you are all cooking. Smells like a load of "you know what" to me.  Tiger is an entertainer and not a leader.  Rely on someone else to lead the world and raise your kids. Maybe those who are upset at Tiger because they think he is a role model are really upset that they might have to talk to their kids about what's good and moral and not leave it up to the the old "boob tube" and the idiots that are on it

Whats funny is that anyone cares that he had an affair/s.  If this were your favorite football player no one would care.  There are murderers, wife beaters, drug dealers/users in pro football but it is still the most popular sport.  Does anyone else see this double standard?  Or do we want the Ryder Cup to be made up of the Bengals, Ravens, Browns, well there's at least one on almost every team.  I'd take an entire team of wife cheaters than killers, but i guess thats just me.

I saw his statement.  He was so high on his horse like he is the perfect man representing all that is good with Augusta National Gold Club; the most exclusive club in the country.  The way he was talking it was like Tiger was the first pro golfer in history to have an affair.  I'm sure that at least one of the private club members has fooled around with someone other than their wife.  I think that Tiger is an amazing golfer, but i never saw him as a role model.  I can see how some athletes can be seen as role models to children because they want to be.  If a wealthy man like the pres. of the golf club needs Tiger to be a role model to his kids, then he is not a real father.  Even Tigers flaws can be used to show children how not to act and to love and respect women.
