Brand New Day, Same 'Ol Tiger
By Scott Burks
So Tiger Woods is
giving a lecture -- errrr, I mean "press conference" -- tomorrow at 11 AM in
front of his home boys, family members, and hand picked media hacks.
He won't even take ANY questions. And worst of all, his "press
conference" will be carried by all three major networks and the mother of
all enablers ESPN.
This is as
pathetic as it is hilarious. Why Woods chose to go through the trouble
to stage this farce is beyond me. All he had to do is stick to posting
a quote or two on his website. It's funny that the ultimate control
freak life is so out of control, he'll do anything to get any control
back.
The fact that he
won't be challenged with answering questions is chicken shit. The fact
that he is going out of his way to control even that aspect shows that he
will go into "control freak overload".
The ironic thing
is that Woods didn't have to resort to this because, frankly, he doesn't owe
us ANYTHING. The only people he should apologize to is his family --
his wife, kids, mother, and in-laws -- for embarrassing them with his
indiscretions. He does not owe the fans, you, or me any apology.
Here's the deal.
Woods got exposed for the fraud he is. He is not the wholesome,
morals-having family man. He is the typical great athlete who knows
his sport and the media needs him more than he needs them -- and acts like
it.
Hell, he hasn't
changed for the better as far humility is concerned. He showed his ass
when he scheduled his "press conference" the same weekend the Accenture
Match Play is going (Ernie Els was right when he called Woods "selfish").
Keep in mind that Accenture was the first sponsor who dropped Woods as a
pitchman after his indiscretions came to light. This is Woods way of
telling Accenture "my time on TV will bring more attention than your
sorry-ass tournament".
Look to see the
same 'ol Tiger from this point forward -- only with more arrogance, and
boorish behavior towards fans on the golf course. As the saying goes,
"a leopard does not change his spots"...
