"Pathetic...Party of One?"

Where to begin, other than apparently he can read words that someone else wrote for him on a sheet of paper? Eldrick Woods lived up to what was expected today in an impotent attempt to set the record straight regarding his crashing empire. After saying how sorry he was for getting caught, and how he (apparently all of a sudden) cares about all the pain he caused his family, friends, sponsors, charitable organizations, peers on the PGA tour, board of directors of the tour, and everyone else who thought he was the superhero he tried to convince people he was...he went on to point the finger instead of the thumb with this gem:

"...However, my behavior doesn't make it right for the media to follow my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter to school and report the school's location. They staked out my wife and they pursued my mom. Whatever my wrongdoings, for the sake of my family, please leave my wife and kids alone."

Too little too late Eldrick. Did you just discover some drawbacks of being a celebrity? As I explained to Rossi, Privacy is a privilege to celebrities. Especially ones who use the media when it benefits you to do so. The media works both ways Eldrick. They are there when you do notable things like win a whole bunch of golf tournaments. They are there to perpetuate your image that you present them. And as you just discovered, they are also there when you F up. The moment your SUV hit that fire hydrant on Thanksgiving, your Privacy Privileges expired, and now you've got to pay the penalty. Part of that penalty involves your family picking up tab of public exposure, and being endlessly pursued by the media. As Jim Rome said earlier today, "You can't beat the Paparazzi. They're undefeated."

Just when The Beard thought there was nothing more pathetic than what he was watching on TV, he quickly found something else, and that would be the "Tiger Apologists" that call themselves "journalists". I've never been sickened more at these so-called truth seekers blatantly going out of their way to praise him for addressing this situation...in a COMPLETELY controlled environment! Every website from ESPN, CBSsportsline, Yahoo Sports, etc has at least 2 columnists saying how impressed they are with Tiger's performance, when anyone with a three digit I.Q. a long term memory, and a sense of rational logic knows that this wasn't even close to trying to apologize and come clean.

Fortunately, I was able to find some members of the media that knew this was a straight up B.S. job on Woods' part.

Let's hope that the rest of the people out there will do their own thinking on this, and not be swayed by the talking heads to believe in Tiger again...
