Tiger's Got Wood(s)
Tiger Woods cheated. Oh shit, say it ain't so! You mean the world's greatest golfer isn't a saint?! Oh no! Stop the world, it's an absolute travesty! Let's talk about it for 3094340 hours!
Ok, I get it, Tiger Woods cheated. And adultery is a terrible, terrible thing. Hell, I think cheating on your significant other is complete crap. Cheaters are the scum of the earth only two steps above rapists in my book. So yes, cheating is wrong.
But the way the media has been jumping all over this is unbelievable. In all honesty, it even can contend with the coverage that Michael Jackson's death received. Seriously, I haven't seen this much media hooplah since Paris Hilton went to jail. And even then I vented my frustration. And it's actually in the same context. The way the media's been running this thing, you'd think Tiger Woods was the first man to cheat on his wife. Breaking news: a man has coitis... and it's NOT WITH HIS WIFE! Thousands of people, men and women alike, cheat each year. Where is their breaking news bulletin?
I know, I know. It's all because of who he is. Tiger Woods is arguably the greatest golfer of all time. His accolades are beyond measure in this day and age. It's known that anyone who reaches that level of stardom with have anything, especially all the negativity, magnified in great lengths. It doesn't excuse him by any means, of course.
But the fact remains: Tiger Woods has been the lead story in Sportscenter, Entertainment Tonight, AND Nancy Grace every night for a week straight. It's a shock that it came from Tiger, a man who seemed like a really good guy. I guess that's what the big scoop is about. Or that he's a serial cheater with mistresses coming out the woodwork (but honestly, how many are being truthful and how many are in it for the fame and potential fortune remains to be found out).
I'll tell you the best thing that's come out of this is the bevy of golf related double entendre. Use your imagination if you haven't heard them yourself. Replacing divots. Water hazards. Sand bunkers. Playing the back nine. Hitting the fairway. Oh the hilarity of it all!
Brace yourselves, sports fans. Bobbo is back in action!
