    Another one, he doesn't even have to speak. He can be the backdrop to this voiceover:
    Trojan condoms. Because stupid sex should still be safe sex.

    I get the impression they're talking to disillusioned fans who irrationally expect perfection from celebrity humans.

    Tiger's right, the media is to blame. From Dan Wetzel's column:

    Now that's some fancy extortion right there.

    Tiger needs to own up to his mistakes, put on a bunch of weight, hit the golf tournaments wearing loud pants and smoking a cigar, and perhaps dye his hair blond.

    You think that might have been a "wake-up call" if you have a wandering eye.

    She's right. It's a great statement. He acknowledges hurting his family. The lines are there to be read between.

    Anyone wanting more wants prurient details, not any sort of acknowledgement. The sooner we all admit it, the better off we'll be.

    This line was perfect.

    Posted on the other thread, too, Tiger is going to work on being more upfront and he posed for a picture:

    I'm still partial to Double Down's Accenture Ad, but that picture is hilarious as well.

    The phone call to Grubbs asking her to scrub his name off her phone is pretty funny. He may be asking her calmly, but you can hear the panic.

    I'm not familiar with this issue - why could Leahy not do a tour to promote his own book??

    Jim Rome had a great line about that call...."If that was the equivalent of an 18-foot putt for birdie, he three-jacked it."

    Or something like that. I just know it was pretty funny.
