The OJ Simpsonfication of Tiger Woods |

Even on so called "political" shows.

1. He's an interesting guy, so the event is being covered. |
|
It'll die down soon enough. It's not like he killed a couple of people.
:D

13. Credit where it's due... |

Being an all-around awesome guy, Call Me Wesley helped me out with the update. I'm not very good with PhotoShop, aside from the occasional headswap.

2. With the exception of sports coverage on whether or not the accident would effect his golf game |
|
I think this is a non-story.

I see a fairly obvious case of marital violence here. If the tables were turned, and his wife had been in a 2:30 am minor crash with injuries and windows knocked out by golf clubs, people would be screaming for his head.

4. Something about the wife's story is puzzling. |
|
She just happened to have a golf club in her hand a few hundred feet from her house at 2 in the morning after "hearing" her husband's accident?

15. Considering Tiger Woods is a pro golfer and probably has several thousand golf clubs, |
|
it doesn't seem surprising to me.

27. I understand that. He was a long way from the garage |
|
or the house where the golf clubs would be located. She would have either brought the club with her, or had to go back to the house to get a club and back to the car. I don't know how far a distance that is. I do have photos of his house but don't know how long his driveway is or how far down the street he was. And if you say "maybe he had them in the car" I'm gonna be disappointed. :silly:

18. And he was knocked unconcious |
|
By an accident that didn't set off the airbags? But was bad enough that she had to bust out the rear windows to get him out? Yeah....

10. Tiger Woods is to O.J. Simpson as Barack Obama is to Sarah Palin. |
|
or Cheese Cake is to Doggie Poop.

20. That made me laugh and then made me sad. |

But I laughed first. Phil would approve, I think.

Edwards lately?:hide: :rofl:
I've been intentionally avoiding the coverage of Tiger Woods until something more than speculation surfaces. :hi:
edit: sorry to be so late telling you that your mod symbol looks good on you. :toast:

Up to a point.
But Tiger didn't lop off anyone's dome.
on edit: Media coverage is ridiculous, so yeah, that's right.
