I can see Harvy Levin now, "Ok people back off Tiger, he asked us politely so letsobligeand let every other tabloid make bank on him ruining his life by 17ing hookers, porn stars, cock tailwaitressand doing steroids. Nothing to see here! Move along."<div>

</div><div>Suuuree Tiger you must still feel pretty entitled to think the Tabloids are going to back off just because you asked them to.</div>

do any of you personally know Tiger Woods? Didn't think so. Tiger has never come off as anything but a robotic speaker. Go look at any speech he has ever made, he actually had a speech impedement early in his career. To pass judgement on a guy's remorse is bs and comical. Nobody has any idea of how it feels for the guy to walk out there and face 150 million people and admit to/ take responsibility for what he has done. Never once did he place blame on someone else. Maybe he didn't come out and woo you over with his speech, but the last time I checked he didn't have anything to apologize for to us, the public. I have no problem with people that don't like Tiger, but to act like you know how the guy feels/should have spoken is absurd. Instead, if you don't like him just say that. Those "blue hairs" happened to be people he actually wanted to be there.
Save the sob story. The guy is a womanizing creep. And yes, we all know he's been a "robotic speaker" his entire career, but when something like this happens, it behooves you to not act like you're reading straight off a notecard. He's not sorry at all, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he keeps up his behavior.
just wait til he gets in front of a US Open crowd.
Beered up#1 : Get in the hole !
Beered up#2 : Whiiiiiich hoooole ?
Entire crowd : Bwaaaaah ha ha ha
Tiger`s caddie goes ape **** and gets his *** kicked.
Announcers : Oh my !

to pass judgement on a guy that you have no personal relationship with. To say he isn't sorry is a comical opinion that holds as much water as square of toilet paper. The last time I checked he was honest in the press conference, and in this situation that should be all that matters. His skills in speech writing/delivering should be meaningless.
He is smart to read the statement. The guy screwed up big time, he admitted and how he deals with it is up to him. Hell, the criticism of his sincerity posts could have been made yesterday, because they were coming whether he read a prepared statement or lit his self on fire for the world to see.
Is he a creep? Hell, I dont know. Is he stupid for doing what he did? Absolutely.
How anyone can make a call on whether he is sorry or not based on what he has done/said to date is beyond me.
Here is the bottom line, the PGA needs Tiger...Tiger needs to play golf and everyone else needs to quit putting these guys on pedestals. Find me a Megastar that hasnt screwed up and I will show 5 that have. Of the top of my head Peyton Manning is the only figure I can think of that is clean so far.
Friends that went to UT with him have their share of stories. Apparently he, at least up until the pre-Tiger fiasco, was fairly brazen about taking girls home from parties/social events. Peyton has been media savvy enough to keep his name out of the tabloids, but then again so was Tiger for several years. I'd be willing to bet that he has toned his act down since December, as have most celebrities with a the most to lose from a PR standpoint. Reading the Sports Guy's Tiger Mailbag column from a few months ago summed this up pretty well:
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Q: We know that Tiger is one of two men in the conversation for
"most dominant athlete of our time" status (the other being Roger
Federer). We know he will probably eclipse Jack's 18 majors someday and
make a billion dollars. But he may also be the biggest threat to
another hallowed sports mark: Wilt Chamberlain's 20,000 women. He's
only 33. I think he's the only true threat to The Stilt, right?

SG:
Let's not get carried away. Tiger wasn't allegedly doing anything
different than hundreds of celebrities and athletes were doing. It's a
whole secret society that one of my connected friends jokingly calls
"The Red Rope Club." Ropes get lifted, celebs stride through with their
chests puffed out, paid connections bring over women to make it more of
a party, money starts flying around, bottle service is ordered and
occasionally stuff happens. None of this means Tiger was the
next Wilt, or even more of a horndog than other current celebs who run
in the same circles. For the media to pretend otherwise is
disingenuous. Especially when it looked the other way with almost
everyone else.</p>
Semi-related point: In the recent episode
of "Joe Buck Live," Floyd Mayweather, Michael Strahan and Mark Wahlberg
were inexplicably thrown on stage together for a few minutes. What
happens in December 2009 when four people who have little in common
have to fill time on live TV? Naturally, the conversation drifts to
Tiger. Wahlberg makes an innocuous but revealing joke, talking about
how Tiger ruined it for everyone else and saying that now everyone's
wife and girlfriend is checking their cell phones. Everyone laughs. You
know what was really funny? This couldn't be more true.</p>
Remember
when that idiot shoe bomber Richard Reid tried to blow up his shoes on
an airplane? He failed, yet for the past eight years we've had to take
our shoes off during the boarding process. This incompetent dimwit cost
us who knows how many hours of our time by FAILING to blow up a plane.
I hate him every time I'm standing barefoot in an airport. Anyway,
Tiger is the Richard Reid of wealthy celebrity horndogs. By failing,
and by making some of the dumbest moves in the history of adultery,
Tiger ruined things for more than a few celebrity horndogs. At least
for a few months. With the O.J. saga, the sub-story was domestic
violence. With Tiger, it's going to be this ritzy (and lucrative) world
of celebrity debauchery. You watch. Miami, Vegas, Manhattan, Hollywood
… a big shiny spotlight is about to be turned on you.</p></div>

Most public figures deflect and make excuses. Of course, it is easier to apologize for this since there was zero chance he could deny it.
that 90% of the posters are womanizing creeps. Pots met Kettle.
His personal life is between him and his family. We had two basketball coaches who whored around as much or more than Tiger.
