Tiger Woods arrested

[MertzJay26]

Wow. I bet that cop was slapping high fives w/ all of his boys!

Go on....?

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

The PED's he took have taken a toll on his body and now he has the back issue.

Agreed.

He was a great golfer, but honestly the era he won in was probably one of the weakest era's of golf.

Agreed again.

C'mon guys.

Who here isn't guilty of Diving Under the Influence? Hell, I'm usually under the influence Before I get to the first tee.

Before I get to the first tee.

If you know what a tee is.

Go on....?

I'm a retired professional firefighter. I've responded to plenty of DUI, domestic, accidents, etc. It's always a comedy show when the person is a "celebrity", either a "local" celebrity (like a newscaster, an athlete for a local pro team, big business owner, lawyer/politician) or a major celebrity (like Tiger or actor, etc). The cops love it. I don't know details, but it's a big deal if they arrest a "celebrity". And as for Tiger, it's not like he's the most liked celebrity either (he's pretty much a known douchebag). So I'm sure there was some high-fiving, laughs had by the LE guys.

Ahh gotcha. That makes sense

Crazy how quickly he fell from grace. Goes to show that nobody's invincible and you can lose it all in the blink of an eye.

Yep, just read your sigs....:cool:

Once the DUIs start rolling in, you're pretty much toast.

Thank you for your service.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He hasn't played meaningful golf

WTF the fvkk is meaningful golf? Pretty sure it doesn't exist.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He was trolling for Perkins waitresses at 3 in the morning? Amateur.

His signature move.

Like GMD...thank you for your service. But are there "amateur" firefighters?

Yes. There are "professional" and "volunteer". Paid /career firefighters are considered "professional"....unpaid are considered "volunteer".

In all fairness, it's been about a decade since he won his last major and had his wife whack him with a 7 iron, so it's not like this just happened out of the blue.

Fair point lol

I hate to admit this... but when I clicked on the initial link to the ESPN article that frickin' blowhard Steven Assh*le Smith cranked up his take on the Tiger thing. And after about 30 seconds I'm thinking "Holy sh*t, I can' believe I'm agreeing with this dbag."

To paraphrase he basically called out Tiger as a fraud (ala Lance Armstrong) for manufacturing his "image" with the wife, family, etc.
Basically manipulating the public while dooshin' around behind the scenes.
I know everyone makes mistakes but S.A.S. has a point.

The tell tale sign for me was this classic case of denial and self centered attitude:

When Charlie Rose asked Woods about the cost of fame and the burdens he has felt from his notoriety, the pro golfer awkwardly avoided the elephant in the room: his affairs and the time he spent in a rehabilitation center for sex addiction.

Woods had a quick answer, saying his biggest regret in life is not attending Stanford for an extra year. Yes, this is seriously his biggest regret in life. You have to read the uncomfortable back-and-forth to feel the tension of Rose accepting that as an appropriate answer.

"The only regret I have in life is not spending another year at Stanford."

"That's the ONLY regret?"

"That's the only regret I wish I'd had..."

"— Of all the things that have happened to you?"

"...The other things I have been through have been tough, but they have been great for me. I just wish I had gone one more year at Stanford."

He's drugged out of his mind. Look at that photo. Too many drugs, most likely Ambien for way too long. Messes you up and very very hard to get off of.

The PED's he took have taken a toll on his body and now he has the back issue. He's done. He was a great golfer, but honestly the era he won in was probably one of the weakest era's of golf. His closest competition, David Duval, went all hippie, got married to a woman w/ 3 kids and chose to get high and snowboard all day vs. playing any more competitive golf. I did, however, think Tiger was going to break Jack's record. His fall from grace was much quicker than most of us expected.....like driving off a cliff.

Made curious by your comment, I spent about a half-hour perusing the net for comments about Woods and PEDs. The consensus from the people around him seems to be that he didn't us them. Even if he did, I discount the notion that PEDs were the primary reason for Woods' physical breakdown. His violent swing is what took the biggest toll on his body.
