Tiger Woods talks up family values in new interview
Because of the dearth of Tiger Woods threads today!

Tiger Woods talks up family values in new interview

By The Associated Press

Tiger Woods spoke of his commitment to his family during an interview screened in New Zealand on Tuesday that was conducted before his car crash and subsequent admission of several infidelities.

Asked in the interview "family first and golf second ... always been that way?" Woods replied: "Always. Always."

He goes on to say that having a family - he has two young children with wife Elin Nordegren - "has been great, actually, the best thing that ever happened."

The interview was conducted on Nov. 17 - 10 days before the accident outside his Florida family home which prompted reports of marital strife. The world's No. 1 golfer later admitted to liaisons with other women.

Woods says he has applied time management skills learned at Stanford University to his dual roles as a golfer and father and had been more focused as a player since he became a family man.

"I don't practice as much as I used to. I don't spend the amount of hours on the golf course, not like I used to" he said.

"But my focus is so much more intense than it used to be. ... I know whatever I have to get done (has to be done) in a shorter amount of time."

7. Republicons have diaper sex with hookers and proclaim themselves to be champions
of their ever-so-peculiar Family Values.

No thank you. It is a pack of foma. It is republicon hypocrisy incarnate. Not what America needs.

If you are into freak sex, or boinking 15 partners on the side, do what you do. It's your life, your karma. Just don't be some prig-ass republicon wagging your finger at the rest of us.

Ptooey on Tiger and his Republicon Family Values...

13. There are more important things, but I do care when a spouse emotionally abuses another
It's no different that physical domestic violence: it breaks up families and causes pain.

Tiger and Michael Vick are both assholes who deserve the worst that karma can sock to them.

12. Of course he doesn't practice as much, not with all the whores he has lined up around the globe
And yes they are whores. They are women too stupid to know better, sleeping with someone who was clearly famous, rich and married. Would these women have slept with Tiger if he was just another average joe making $50k a year trying to keep his family afloat during this recession. Nuff said.

20. I sense some racism here. I for one believe that

Tiger is a very handsome and intelligent man and would definitely attract the women he slept with even without his fortune.

23. Excuse me please, can you tell me the section of my post where I mention his race
Of course he doesn't practice as much, not with all the whores he has lined up around the globe

And yes they are whores. They are women too stupid to know better, sleeping with someone who was clearly famous, rich and married. Would these women have slept with Tiger if he was just another average joe making $50k a year trying to keep his family afloat during this recession. Nuff said.


That's what I posted and NOWHERE did I mention skin color. There are plenty of men "Famous, Rich and Married" who have screwed around on their wife and that has NOTHING to do with the color of their skin. And I know plenty of "Average Joes" that make $50k a year supporting their family of all nationalities.

The only racism I see is you trying to make my reply into a racist comment. YOU ASSUMED it was about skin color - not me.

14. Cheetah Woods doctor under criminal investigation.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/15/sports/15doctor.html

A Canadian doctor who has treated many N.F.L. players as well as Olympic medalists like Donovan Bailey and the world’s top golfer, Tiger Woods, is under criminal investigation in the United States. He is suspected of providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, according to several people who have been briefed on the investigation.

The F.B.I. investigation of Dr. Anthony Galea, a sports medicine specialist who has treated hundreds of professional athletes across many sports, follows his arrest on Oct. 15 in Toronto by the Canadian police. Human growth hormone and Actovegin, a drug extracted from calf’s blood, were found in his medical bag at the United States-Canada border in late September. Using, selling or importing Actovegin is illegal in the United States.

Dr. Galea is also being investigated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for smuggling, advertising and selling unapproved drugs as well as criminal conspiracy. He is tentatively scheduled to appear in a Canadian courtroom on Friday.

19. Well, looks like the HGH treatment worked for him. He doesn't look 50.

Just because Tiger was treated by this guy for a knee injury doesn't mean he took performance enhancing drugs. He might've, but knowing a sports medicine specialist doesn't guarantee it.

21. Isn't that rich? His dipstick has been in every engine west of the Mississippi it seems.
But his family always comes first.

Is Tiger a Republican? Sure sounds like one.

He had everything going for him, and he blew it all. What a shame.
