The Crying Game

Think a shot of Tiger crying after winning the British Open today will make a few front page covers today? Thought so.

 

Yeah, I was just coming to post that, although it's different in that A) he won, not lost and B) it's Tiger.

 

C) "Lick balls!"

He did win the tournament, though.

 

I know, but I'm just saying. Win or lose, a crying shot is always a good consideration. Tiger makes it an automatic.

 

It's Tiger. If he celebrated by taking a dump on the green, we'd run it, too.

 

If some high school team celebrates with booze, I'm so running that six columns.

 

I have a feeling some people would give him a wipe, too.

 

Like anything else it depends on the situation. If you got a shot of a Texas Tech cheerleader crying after the Red Raiders exit in the first round of the Big 12 Tourney, that's cliche. If it's Bobby Knight sobbing, that's a great photo.

 

Does Bob Knight cry?

 

The cutline could include somethng about Boots, left, showing Tiger Woods his way of giving "the shocker."

 

For a minute I thought this was a thread about Jaye Davidson's plumbing.

 

As a photographer, I love it when athletes cry.

Don't knock the jube/agony shots. I'm kinda partial to them, when they move the visual story along.
