POLL:
How many men out there are really upset with Tiger Woods? It's my theory that most men envy him his good fortune. Given the chance ---- ahem!

I'm feeling really lonely at Birches these days. I need a more interactive readership.

Tough to make comments.
Here I am in the frozen north, my aging fingers numb from the cold and there you are in the sunny , warm south!
I figure Tiger's transgressions are par for the course ( notice how I cleverly worked in that golf simile ? ) for many of today's professional athletes.
He probably has already made more money off the family man image he projected than he will ever lose in canceled endorsements.
I was personally disappointed in him, because I thought he might be different from the rest that we hear so much about.
( Wish there were more Brandon Inges, Mike Maroths and
Curtis Grandersons out there )
I hope I didn't just set myself up for more disappointment.
The thing that always gets them in the end is that conscience thing.
I still think that is what Hell really is --- you make your own, and it's right here on Earth.
And I do believe Tiger has a working conscience.
He has things to work out and all the money in the world can't ease that conscience for him.
As pertains to Tiger Woods, he is simply following his genetic impulse about
having sex with whomever he can. As previously stated, all normal men deal
with this desire constantly. Most men have sufficient restraint to just
"Lust in their heart", to paraphase Jimmy Carter, while others are more
active and continuously attempt to "score". Tiger simply has the success
and money to make it easier for him. What Tiger did is just a normal
example of human nature of men. In addition I am sure, as always, it seemed
like a "good idea at the time".
One more item in parting is that I think there is some confusion about the
meaning of the "Nineteenth Hole" is golf.

I wish I could say that I don't care... and at a certain level, perhaps I don't... but there is a certain amount of anger that I have toward the whole situation. I think it comes in from having bought into this guy's whole persona... wholesome, family guy, private family man, etc. I feel like I was gullible enough to believe that there was an athlete who others could emulate for all the right reasons. Good things (championships, billions of dollars worth of sponsorships) happened for him because he was a good guy. And now I just feel stupid for buying into it all.
I do care that he and a lot of other pro athletes, (all of them role models whether they want that title or not,) don't set good examples for the kids... I'm tired of answering all the questions at school, and telling my 4th graders that jokes about sex and infidelity aren't funny for the people involved and are not appropriate for school.
By the way, did you hear that Tiger's changed his name to Cougar?

People behave badly because they can. Only sometimes they can't. Bummer. That's my deep analysis of the situation. I sure hope his wife really did get a few whacks in with that club.
Right on Dashmann. I concur totally with your assessment of the whole mess.
Well, there's cheating, and then there's what Tiger was apparently doing. What boggles the mind is trying to figure out how he found time for all those ladies.
