Timmy and his 47 vice-presidents are going to need that flask before a new equilibrium is reached, with 5 vice-presidents. Maybe they can consult Brand Lady. Geoff, have you been hacking their IM accounts lately?

Tiger has apologized. . . Identified himself as lacking in being a husband, father and person. . . Has said he is taking a hiatus of undetermined length from his job to work on improving himself. . . Accepts total responsibility and blame. . . No excuses. . .

The politicians portrayed in the SNL skit - as well as just about everybody else who gets caught in these type situations - uses P.R. to muddy the waters and shift blame in one way or another.

Ask yourself . . . If you were Tiger Woods . . . Acknowledged as the greatest ever in your sport - Dominated as no one ever did or ever will again - Nothing left but some artificial "majors wins" of which the qualifying events have been changed before and likely will be again - No need to make another dollar . . . Would you subject yourself to this ongoing humiliation - admitting your guilt and weaknesses as a person - Having to anticipate and endure a media frenzy lasting years? . . . Or, would you simply move on - leave the world stage - live quietly and luxuriously in some paradise - In effect saying "you people were fortunate to have seen me play and now I am gone and it is OK, no regrets and no hard feelings?"

WR...but what about jack's record?

it's a fair question wisconsin reader. but tiger's mindset and motivations will remain a mystery to us, i think. all nonsense aside, i think the aspect that has made tiger so great is his competitive attitude.

i can't understand why he would subject himself to the scrutiny a comeback would inevitably engender, but then again, i can't understand why he would play in golf tournaments on a broken leg either. if it was me, i'd ride off into the sunset, never to be heard from again. but if tiger had my attitude, he wouldn't be tiger.

"If you were Tiger Woods"

uhhh, errrr, we're not?

If you have that many people sticking their noses that far up your a$$ and they all depended on you for a living, and you had been put in such a position to make such a living?

Out of most folks comprehension, I'd say.

Entertaining fun I say.

Accenture pulled out.

I do like some of the ideas.

The person with the worst score should be somehow penalized. I'm not sure appearing on Jersey Shore but maybe Tru TV.

Sexy caddies, I like it. Their goes fluff and Stevie.

New sponsors. Nothing wrong Selzer. Their money is as good as Buick.

The SNL skits are lame. Totally un-funny. Wanda Sykes' skit is fantastic.

Never mind if you're Tiger...could you ride off into the sunset and give up your life's work, at age 33? I couldn't. Wouldn't want to. I'm always amazed at people who think they could be happy living a life of leisure. I think if you're not working at something, you're preparing to die. I can't see Tiger taking up painting, or working his garden, or writing memoirs. He's already used to more press exposure than any other athlete, I think he'll just handle the added pressure the way he always has handled the press: by keeping them at bay. As soon as he starts winning tournaments again, the narrative will switch to the "hope, recovery, redemption" theme, and everyone will be happy. I do think if he skips a major or two this year, it will help him even more.
