Tiger Woods? That the billionaire golfer wasn't cranking the hostess at Denny's out in the parking lot and having sex with porn stars when he was projecting the image of family life being everything?
WHO was projecting that image?
Woods or the media surrounding him?
Who was cutting away from and otherwise ignoring his cursing on the golf course -
FOR YEARS?
You STILL don't get it - even your "best" examples are
NOTHING MORE THAN A MEDIA-CREATED STORY.
How about Woods pulling out of golf tournaments when feining injury like at the Players? When he shot 6 over on the front nine like a million 10 handicappers on the planet could because all of a sudden he was injured when he played flawlessly with his buddy Mark O'Meara in previous practice rounds.
Gee, and golf carts are allowed in practice rounds.
They're NOT in the actual PGA event. Didn't know THAT, did you?
Keep digging. It just shows you enjoy the destruction of public persons.
Not sure I'd want to put that on such a display, though.
If Tiger Woods is one thing he is perhaps the biggest liar ever to play the game.
And you KNOW the history of golf well enough to spout that?
Uhhh, right. Sure you do.
So yes, I am happy to see him fail.
And that says it all, doesn't it? You're pulling for failure because you think it's "gonna be sweet".
You want him to fail based on what someone trying to sell ads tells you.

I rarely wish that on anybody. For somebody given so much I expect more...at least decency. There are so many real good guys on the PGA tour I pull for.
And what? Five years ago, you probably thought Tiger Woods was one of the "many real good guys on the PGA tour", didn't you?
Why?
Because that's what you were TOLD.
But NOW, because you've been TOLD something different, you celebrate his failures.
When in reality he's almost certainly pretty much the same person he's always been. Except maybe now at his worst he's one of the twenty or thirty best golfers in the world instead of maybe the best in history.
But the STORY the media is telling about him has changed.
Amazing? Isn't it? Now that Woods isn't a meal ticket for the media, he's a target.
And you bought the fish story. Hook, line, and sinker.
You know what I will enjoy? Watching him come in 15th-30th in forthcoming majors as he G-dam's his way around the golf course. That is gonna be sweet.
Is that what you aspire to?
And you had the temerity to say I should be embarrassed?!?!?!
