Tiger Woods seriously injured in car accident - Page 4

Getting away with rape is staying controversy free now? Huh.

Post incident, he's stayed controversy free. (eta: I was referring to my post above which mentioned post incident. I figured that was assumed).

And he was never convicted of rape, the case was dropped. I'm not saying he did or didn't rape the woman, but I'm definitely not saying he got away with rape.

Well, the selling power issue remains to be seen. Until yesterday, he hadn't been on a course for months, and we're still in the midst of the hoopla. Of course it's going to take a hit while he's in the midst of the controversy. I think in a year's time though, his commercials will probably be back on the air, and his sponsors won't be the worse for wear. I just think that people who bought products because of Tiger are generally going to be less bothered by his past indescretions, and they'll continue buying those products. His reception at the first hole of the Masters spoke volumes about how golf fans see Tiger now.

Certainly you're right that he has to show that he's learned a big lesson and stay controversy free. Media outlets everywhere are just waiting to pounce on any little slip up whether it be a rant on the course, a DUI, partying at a club, etc. I would hope that Tiger has good enough handlers, and a bit more common sense than he did before that he knows he's on thin ice. Plus, there's still the issue of his family. If he wants to salvage his marriage, there's no room for error.

I don't know how many of you are actually watching The Masters, but if you enjoy golf this is exactly why the Tiger off the course stuff is meaningless. I can't imagine giving a shit about Tiger texting porn stars when you have a leaderboard like that. Sunday should be fun. Mickelson's near three eagles in a row was incredible. Would love to see Couples somehow win it.

Some great golf all around. Watson (early), Couples, Mickelson, Westwood, and of course Tiger. A 16 year old amateur from Italy making the cut. And those last few groupings should see some wild crowds. I hear ratings are already up 50% on last year through the first 3 rounds.

Tiger is choking. +3 thru 5 for the day and 7 off the lead. I'm suure ESPN will make excuses for him. I'll root for Couples but he's still 3 off.

*And of couse Tiger gets a 2 on a really lucky shot on 7.

Tiger is tied for fifth after half a year off. What excuses would ESPN have to make for him? His pattern in majors is to boat race the field. If he's not leading going into Sunday, he usually doesn't win.

Tiger's learned a very valuable lesson... NEVER GET MARRIED AGAIN.

A little rust after his hiatus is perfectly natural. He's still the best golfer out there, and the rest of them know he's going to be just as dominant (if not more so) when he's 100% again. I'll be very surprised if he takes longer than a month to accomplish this.

By the way, he's at 9 under now, and could very easily go -4 on the back nine. So even after 3 bogeys he's still not completely out of it. I don't think he'll win, because, again, comebacks are not his norm in majors. But this has been a good performance for him.

Looks like my Mickelson Curse might be reversed!

Mickelson really getting the job done. After that unfortunate event on the second (some random seed or something fell out of the sky and into the path of his putt, causing him to miss) I'm glad he wasn't thrown off.

Tiger made a game effort but his swing was a mess today. If this is Tiger after a year plus off and the biggest PR and personal mess of his life, I'm scared to see how good he'll be with some time on the course and if his wife agrees to stay with him.

What a run by Kim. I'm rooting for him.

I'm very happy for Mickelson. A classy guy, and a classy golfer.

Yeah, the last thing on my mind watching Tiger play was golden showers and spankings. Not a revalatory performance, but impressive for his first outing in five months.

A great Masters.

The curse is over!!!!

Christ, you really are one of the most gleefully bitter people I have ever come across. You just revel in others' slip-ups and failures.

She's a Cubs fan. What do you expect?

He says go Ottawa.

Sounds like Mrs.Woods found the new Nike ad as distasteful as many others did.
