I don't give a rats you know what about what kind of person Tiger is. He is a GREAT golfer and I root for him because golf is much more entertaining when he is playing well. I like watching greatness, and that he is (on the course of course). Don't take that to mean I condone what he did to his family because I don't, I can just separate the two. Now, if the guy beat his wife and children etc I would feel much differently about the situation.

anyhow -- despite opinions (not all will agree with me -- and i'm fine with that), you know i'm always enjoying your company here, bob.... you're a good man.
You have your beliiefs and I have mine, I understand. Though, there are those who would insult others, because they don't have the same beliefs as the other. That, to me, is sad. Thanks for being a friend. As to your question, if he did that to my daughter, I would be living with her, for sure. Just kidding.............maybe.

I don't follow Tiger either. The media made him out to be a god like player and that was way too much for me.
I just like to watch him play. He is so talented and riveting, is all I care about the guy. I am not put on this earth to judge him. I leave that to God; or, on earth, the law, if need be.

Nice to find someone who sees him the way I do. The man is a great golfer, period.
