"Do You Still Support Tiger?"

Tiger's come to junk mail now...

Any chance you can post something about golf that is NOT Tiger related? Or are you completely lacking in imagination? Taking a look at your RSS feed from recent weeks, I wonder how you ever managed before Tiger slipped up? Makes my life easier - your blog is one less thing I have to read from now on. Total garbage

Andy Wilson, you are now on Santa's bad list
how does one "support" tiger?
12.20.2009 | Unregistered Commenterthusgone
Andy, your post is hysterical ... as in the three year old became hysterical when his diaper started overflowing. You're a messenger killer. I guess you rant at your gynecologist when she gives you bad news?

Got any fart jokes today missed priss?

Brittany Murphy RIP What's the scoop peeps?

Dope.

10024 ... you seem to be one of those ubiquoitous angry guys. You really give me the woman-hater vibe ... and I'll bet you're just as pathetic and worthless as any fart joke I could come up with. So ... you little pussy ... why don't you go find Tiger and give us a report.
12.20.2009 | Unregistered CommenterMiss Priss!
Go take a look at him and see if he’s fell off his chair, his friend suggested.

Sorry ... ubiquitous.

I should know to spell big words better! I'll bet 10024 and his mother noticed and I hate that they might be offended!
12.20.2009 | Unregistered CommenterMiss Priss!
LOL -- you're easily offended no? Just the slightest jab and you flip out...it's patently obvious where the anger resides, you must be a real pleasure to be around on a daily basis.

You seem to think Tiger won't be able to perform on the course at the same high level when he returns, Corey Pavin says he will: http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug=ap-woods-pavin&prov=ap&type=lgns

In the event you are unaware, Corey is a 15 time winner on tour, a US Open champion, has a dozen other quality professional wins worldwide, played on the Walker Cup team (you heard of this one?), 3 Ryder Cups, 2 President's Cups, and he'll be the 2010 Ryder Cup Captain.

What makes you think you have better insight than Corey Pavin (that resume resonates winning) into how Tiger's golf results will fare on his return?
12.20.2009 | Unregistered Commenter10024
10024, that argument from authority is a slippery slope. John Daly has 100% more Major wins than Corey Pavin, which in the golf universe makes him at least twice as smart as Corey. Oh, wait. Given his perspective on the world, Long John probably thinks Tiger will come back just as strong as ever, too. Never mind. OK, how's this? Frank Rich, OpEd columnist at the New York Times says Tiger is the functional equivalent of Ken Lay. Oops, Frank Rich used to be a drama critic. Never mind. Wait, I got it! Peter Duesberg (UC-Berkeley molecular biologist, pioneer in the discovery of oncogenes, and member of the National Academy of Sciences) thinks that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. Yep, that's it, based on his authority we got nothing to worry about on that front.
Shocker that Pavin would root for Woods in a Ryder Cup year. By the way, who's the captain?
12.20.2009 | Unregistered CommenterAverage Golfer
Ky, if Corey doesn't qualify as an expert, who does?

10024: Well, Corey Pavin certainly knows about golf. No question. But my point is that even experts can be wrong despite their authority. In this case, no one has a freakin' clue about how Tiger will do when (if) he comes back. Personally, I think there is enough of a human being somewhere in Tiger's psyche that recognition of the devastation he has wrought among the people who love(d) him (I have no doubt he cares not one whit what you or I think) will make very difficult for him to come back and be what he apparently was until Thanksgiving night. In this case I think Average Golfer has summed it up pretty well.
Fair enough. Only time will tell...but I'm taking Corey's side of the trade.

Anyone who thinks he can block someone from his site just by blocking an IP address demonstrates that he knows as much about computing as he does about golf... feel free to block this address now Geoff - I won't be back. Just wanted to see if you had the balls to respond. Clearly not...
12.21.2009 | Unregistered CommenterAndy Wilson
Andy,
Anyone so cowardly to go to the trouble to route their IP's through foreign lands so they can throw out insults and bitch about the content on lowly golf blog has chihuaha sized balls.
