Don't you mean he's still bangin, if you know what I mean.

I was watching the apology think to myself..
What is missing in this dudes life for him to have THIRTEEN different fucks, I doubt he was a drug addict.. professional athlete etc, is dude really that fucking stupid?
Apology was a waste of everyone's time. Not that I really cared about what he had to say, but as someone else said he was completely robotic(shocker) and seemed unapologetic.
Does anyone outside the media give a shit about this whole thing really? So a celebrity who gets paid millions got his dick wet...holy fucking shocker. Why should he need to apologize to anyone other then his wife? Who cares what he does. This is what makes America such a great place to live in, we put these people up on pedestals like gods, hurl money at them and then when they show us they are actually as human as we are, we get fucking pissed off at them.
Just because he had a prepared statement and read off cards doesn't mean he wasn't sincere. The guy went up in front of 150 million people worldwide and told everyone that everything was 100% completely his fault. That's more than can be said of A-Rod, McGwire, Clemens, Clinton, etc. Just because he read off notes and was nervous as fuck doesn't mean he wasn't sincere. There's people who "speak from the heart" nothing but complete bullshit.
How many athletes have seriously fucked up and owned it in the last decade? Vick and Tiger? Is that it?
and said...
"It was a loosey goosey era"
"Everybody did it"
etc and so on
Well, everyone does it on the PGA tour too, but Tiger didn't blame it on that.
Tiger said the most honest and sincere statement I've ever heard an athlete say. Paraphrasing
"I thought I was better than everyone else, I told myself that the rules don't apply to me" Every athlete thinks that, noone admits it. He went on to say that the rules should apply to him as they do to everyone else.
True, just sharing how I saw it. Cheating in baseball isn't as heinous a crime as cheating on your wife with however many women in my mind. It's not like he had much choice in admitting it was his fault, not sure who else he could have pinned the blame on. "Sex addiction" I guess but I'm sure he and his PR people are smart enough to know how bad that would look if he didn't accept the blame himself. The whole thing just seemed pointless to me, maybe other people who are bigger golf/Tiger fans were more interested.
I also disagree with your statement that "every athlete thinks they are better than everyone else." Of course plenty do think that way, and they usually crash pretty hard when things don't go their way. There are many well-grounded athletes who don't take everything for![]()
I'd disagree about what's worse, cheating on your wife or steroid use. Tiger has smart people in his camp, he could have deflected quite easily. Fuck, steroid people managed to blame it on a time, the MLBPA, The commissioner, injuries. Tiger could have came up with something equally as laughable. But he didn't.
I'm sure he gets some alone time, it isn't like she's Doug Cristie's wife. Just saying that she's around him enough. Whenever Tiger would fuck around, he would have his best friend arrange everything and fly the girls out to places he'd be alone.
The affluent and passive approach to steroid use has lead to countless deaths and destroyed lives. Tiger's wife will be just fine, so will his kids, that can't be said about everyone who used steroids.
I'm not talking about steroid use as a whole, just in the context of those individual athletes who basically cheated the fans of a clean sport. If we were talking about that wrestler that killed his family, that is obviously a different story. I don't think Tiger's wife and kids will get over it like nothing happened but we can agree to disagree.
