We all know guys who "went pro"... I could list off several - some I have fond memories of, and others were toolbags in high school / college.

Interestingly, at least in my experience, the ones who were cool back then went on to have drama-free, awesome careers. The others? Lots of failures and mediocrity.

I'm not a golf fan, so I can't say I'll watch / not watch Tiger. But my issue is this: As a man with a wife and kids, nothing is more important. He did them wrong, and his freakish ability to whack a ball is irrelevant to me. He's an immature chump with money. Let him deal with the fallout - he brought it on himself.

I don't give a crap about his personal life...I assume almost everyone with a lot of money cheats anyways. Yeah it's a feel good story if he really is that role model of a person, but in the end I like to see him play golf, not play with his kids.

I'm kinda enjoying his slump. .

...and this is why you and others who think like you are labeled as HATERS! You can root cheer for Phil or whoever, but they will NEVER be as great as Tiger. Phil M resembles the average cookie cutter golfer in my opinion. He's good, but nothing too fantastic. Not like Tiger Woods. Sorry Go Tiger! Hope to see you back at the top soon.

FIxed that for ya.

Check out Mr.Admin editing other members post in order to make himself look cool. All this coming from a guy who thinks that T.Woods is costing investors 12Mil because of his "shenanigans". I'm still laughing at that one!

FYI - my At&T stock didn’t take a hit and neither did Nike. From the time the news broke of him crashing the car and the time of your $12Million bogus investment comment the Nike stock went up approx $1.20 per share. So, go fix that smart guy. Oh…. And try to resist editing other members post! It makes you look desperate for attention, especially if you are an “admin”

I didn't edit YOUR post, I quoted you and edited it, to point out the foolishness of your statement.

Here ya go, Nutswinger:

Wanna know why your my At&T stock didn’t take a hit? Because on December 31, 2009, AT&T DROPPED Tiger Woods. For such a fan, you sure don't pay attention, do you?

As for NIKE, Tiger's line actually took a serious dump - the REST of Nike's line saved it for them. Read 'em and weep, doofus.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-2 ... areer.html

“The Tiger effect has been negative this year,” Hanaka said. “Fortunately, other Nike products and other brands have been doing well, so we’ve been able to overcome it.”

Golf Discount Superstore said it’s seen a “definite decline” for the brand. Worldwide Golf Enterprises Inc., says almost all other apparel products are growing save for Tiger’s line.

Gatorade, Tag Heuer and Accenture all dropped him as well.

Nike would have posted BIGGER gains if they had dropped him as well, so, YES, your NIKE stock (if you really own any) LOST POTENTIAL GAINS.

Don't quit your day job - You'd make a sucky economist.

Oh stop it. You are just a jealous racist

Nope. Tiger is. I mean, how many Black women was he banging?

Know what's even funnier than THAT? Go look at page one of this thread. Look at my first post (the one where I defended the guy). Now, look at Nutswinger's first post. He edited it FIVE MONTHS LATER. Hmmmm....

Your credibility is shot, dude.

I also find it interesting some many people can root for a such a morally bankrupt guy like Tiger Woods. But then again, there are many Roman Polanski fans willing to ignore his indescretions which were worse than Tiger's.

I challenge you to open up your money market account (ScottTrade, Etrade, etc..) and do the research your self instead of depending on some writer. The numbers do not lie, but writers do.

Nah - i don't care about the topic that much. Remember, I'm a "hater".

Unfortunately, even if it was a mistake, he can't go back and "ninja-edit" his post 5 months later.
