I think he liked giving it to other women.

Giving? Is it too long that it can be cut into pieces for distribution?

There is nothing wrong with looking up to sports people as sports people, admiring them for their sporting skills and wishing to emulate those sporting skills - it's a good thing. The problem is that reporting on sports has become obsessed with what these people are like out of the sporting arena as if being good at sports necessarily makes them interesting, good/bad or worthy of reporting outside of the sports arena. ####### to that. They are good at sports, that is their skill, not whether or not they are good at managing relationships, money or their political opinions etc. They shouldn't be asked about it because their answers are as amateur as those of the rest of us and about as interesting.

it's always interesting to watch these sports people cry about life after sports ... after the multi-million dollar contracts are no more ... how they won't survive. people are so clueless about life outside of the arena ...

Hence why I am not the slightest interested in superficial staged mainstream sport. I realized a long time ago, ####### am I doing wasting my time watch mainstream athletes earn millions for doing squat. I'd take a show of Ice Road truckers, Ax man, Man vs wild, Dirty Jobs or any construction show any day over watching douches kick a ball around.

The only sport I enjoy is the Olympics, where the world's best are competing.

My husband and I are just glad that Tiger isn't playing here at TPC Scottsdale in next week's PGA Tour stop. Without him, the gallery will be civilized and classy, sans the blue collared Tiger fanatics in blue jeans and t-shirts!

Isn't that the course with the #16 par 3 where everyone is drunk? I don't see that changing just because Woods won't be there. I don't think Woods even played in it last year and that par 3 was wild and crazy as usual. Maybe that is civilized and classy for Scottsdale
