Tiger Woods apologizes for 'spaz' comment

[Hoov]

If i was a celebrity it would get bad fast. the minute someone jumped all over me for something silly and rediculous and demanded an apology id probably give the bird to the camera right then and there and smile and say hello everyone out there, then bend over and shake my naked rear in front of the camera.

That would probably make you even more popular! :

you may be right, but most important it would set the tone early that im not going to tiptoe around everone my whole life.

I'm offended that he apologized...

I now demand an apology for the apology...

You're kinda missing the point... the reason Tiger would be so missed is more due to his popularity than his talent. And his popularity is a result of decisions he has made during his career that have boosted his visibility.

Guys like Duncan and Federer and Sampras kept a low key that have made them less of a big deal. Toss Duncan out of the mix... Federer and Sampras are arguably two of the greatest tennis players ever... if they had McEnroe's or even Agassi's personality, they'd be international celebrities.

I'm sure Anna Kournikova has a much tougher time getting privacy than Pete Sampras... why? Because of the attention she seeks through magazine covers and endorsements and an publicity outside of her performance in her sport.

Or looking at golf, I'd bet that Michelle Wie gets a lot more public attention when she goes out than Ernie Els. Is it because she's a better golfer? Of course not. It's because of the attention and hype that she's built up around herself. It's her choice, just as it was Tiger's.

How did Tiger choose to be the best player to play golf? Michelle Wie is popular, because she is a prodigy, a lot like Tiger.

Tiger is the most clutch, talented golfer to play the game and is only 31 years old.

I hesitate continuing this argument because I like Tiger a lot and I root for him... and he's not even complaining about the attention he gets, you're complaining about the attention he gets. As far as I know, he willingly accepts the life he's made for himself and is satisfied with it.

I will say that while it's debatable whether or not he "chose" to be a great golfer, he's undeniablly "chosen" to capitalize on his skills and market them to the greatest extent possible. And it's that decision that has led him to be so wildly popular.

That said, I see no signs that Tiger regrets his fame, his fortune, or the fact that he gets to make an amazing living while playing one of the greatest games out there. So until he starts complaining about it, I'll wish him the best and leave this argument alone.

I agree and have seen many interviews with Tiger. What is not to love about the life he has made for himself he is the #1 ranked golfer in the world and with the money and fame he has made for himself he has been able to put together his foundation for children. Tiger enjoys what he is doing and he does it better than anyone else.

If he complained, he would be ridiculed by the want to be rich and famous.

He hated it when I knew him, I can't imagine anything has changed. That was before he was a real star.

He has not chosen to capitalize on his skills to the fullest extent. He could make a lot more money in endorsements than he does now.

I really don't mean this to be offensive, although I'm pretty sure you're gonna take it as such. But I'm not sure I've ever seen a poster endeavor w/ such dogged abandon to make themselves look foolish.

And w/ members here like Nors and HeavyHitter, that's hard to do. :laugh2:

I'm really not sure what that's supposed to mean?

You take the good;

You take them both and there you have the Facts of Life.

I actually met the girl who played Joe on that show.
She and her brother, who played the son on the show Alice.

For Tiger's sake, I hope the daughter ages more gracefully than the mom!

As for the mom's politics, it reminds me of a line from Ferris Bueller (paraphrased):

"I'm not Swedish. I don't plan on being Swedish. So, who gives a cr@p if she's a Socialist? She could be a fascist anarchist, it still wouldn't change the fact that her daughter is a hottie."
