Tiger, Briefly

So I, like much of the nation (apparently) am somewhat fascinated by the debacle that is the Tiger Woods circus. What is it that makes it interesting? Certainly, I don't find it interesting every time I hear that someone famous has an affair. It's almost expected. So I think what is weird about the Tiger thing is the difference between appearance or perception and reality.

Tiger appeared to be a super nice, talented, extremely wealthy family man. He was even big on the charity circuit. Basically it seemed like a nearly perfect life. Plus he's a little goofy looking, so who expects him to be going around trying to get with every girl he sees? And then the truth comes out. Not just one affair with someone who he happened to find a meaningful if illicit connection with, but rather double digits of affairs with Vegas club girls and reality show castoffs. What?

Am I the only person who feels a little thrown off? Or, as I'm sure most males (who tend to not follow celeb news) would say, should I just get over it because all celeb types are skeezy and it's not reality anyway?

  2. I have no attachment to the guy at all, but I found the whole thing a little off-putting. I asked an avid golfer's wife if her husband felt a little betrayed by the news and she said, "From my perspective, I hope he does." I guess it's all anyone is talking about at the country club and they all feel really let down.

  3. Don't let Evan fool you. If you haven't already read Evan's own blog post about Tiger, then let me assure you: Evan and I just had a fairly lengthy discussion about it.

  4. I feel like I'm in the minority because I have barely followed this story and don't really care about it.

    So my only comment is, wow, you think he's funny looking? I always thought he was incredibly hot! Less so now, I suppose, since infidelity isn't all that attractive, but still, physically I dig him.

  5. Tom is totally devastated by this whole ordeal. He totally had a man-crush on Tiger. I've kind of been shocked/bummed about the whole thing myself. I do have to say that I agree with Becca, I'm totally surprised that you think he's goofy looking. I actually think he's pretty attractive. I did hear a pretty good joke....Did you hear Tiger changed his name? It's now Cheetah. Ha ha!

  6. Wow, I'm fascinated, folks. I'll admit that he's in good shape, as professional athletes (except linemen and sumo wrestlers) tend to be. But I just think his big teeth and other features are a little funny looking. Am I alone on this?
