And now there's another woman involved. It seems Tiger has been on the prowl for three years (not the NY woman). I heard a damaging phone message Tiger left his Florida mistress - it was on the non-gossip CBC news.

Oh yeah, don't be too sure about Doug Christie's fidelity. He was known to have a wandering eye during his years with the Raptors.

I could care less, but honestly... how can you cheat on this?

I dont care at all what actually happened, but I think he would be better off and people wouldnt still be talking about the story if he just came out and said what was going on.

2:30AM...hitting a hydrant...hitting a tree...going less than 30 MPH. I dont know what it was, but something was going on. I would say he was shitfaced, but I would assume the hospital wouldve gotten labs done on him, even though he is Tiger Tiger Woods Y'all!

Posted this before I heard about it now being 3 different women and the voicemail thing, but Im right with you AMC - I realize its nice to get as much strange as you can, but when you have a wife like that, why bother?! Not to mention losing $100 million or something to her if they were to get divorced if there's no prenupt.

..I still dont get the accident though. How do you run into a fire hydrant and a tree going less than 30 MPH unless youre drunk or just got beat up by your wife?!

to quote Paul Newman when asked if he would or has cheated on his wife, "Why Go Out For Hamburgers When I Have Steak At Home?"

what a class act :)

For me, this hurts Tiger's legacy more than anything thats come up the last few weeks:

Quoteor even Nascar (ugh) if your heart desires

My heart desires some NASCAR talk. :P

Yesterday's finish to the Daytona 500 was one of the best, most exciting finishes in the big race I've seen in my 16 or so years of NASCAR fandom. Underdog Jamie McMurray won as Dale Jr came out of nowhere and went from 10th to 2nd in just 2 laps. The emotion in victory lane was touching and refreshing. The guys who win all the time just don't show any emotion like that. It's looking like it's gonna be a good seson.

I agree that it was great to see MacMurray win. That was one agonizing 7 hours however. I loved to see the new 2 lap, no win on caution rule. It allowed for a true finish but I guess opens the door for even more aggressiveness at the end. It was one hell of a move my Jr., the only one who avoided the sliding leaders and somehow maintained momentum. It was interesting hearing him say he already knew going into the last lap that he had used all his momentum and had nothing left to pass MacMurray.

It was a great finish but not even close to 2007

O man, I had forgotten about that one somehow. I was so focussed on the crashing that I actually missed the photo finish until the replay. Twas a pity for Mark, but Harvick is ok in my book.

Yeah I loved the new rule changes. NASCAR is finally beginning to redeem themselves after all the botched finishes over the last few years.

capt. scotty · Feb 16, 2010, 11:45 AM

anybody else hear about how Floyd Landis apparently tried to hack into the computers to change he blood test a few years back when he won the Tour de France?!

Hilarious. I think there is an international warrant out for his arrest now

capt. scotty · Apr 08, 2010, 02:34 PM

why the funk cant I not watch Eldrick playing at the Masters until 4pm >:( >:(

Not even online because all the online coverage is on the back 9

Tom Watson with a 5 under to lead so far :o

They (The Masters) are making a point to not do anything different (coverage wise) that normal. At least we'll see a little this afternoon. If he would have had a morning tee time, we wouldn't see any of it. Like tomorrow.
5 under is pretty strong. Tom Watson is going to have a lot of people pulling for him, for a day at least.

I read some article that said ESPNs Masters Extra that starts at 3PM should show a decent bit but itll probably be on delay until they get the live coverage at 4PM

So somebody is sending planes up with messages pulled behind. The first one said "Tiger, did you mean Bootyism?" It flew over right as he teed off. Something tells me Jim Nantz won't be waxing poetic about this particular event.

The next one apparently will say something like, "Sex addict? Yea right. Me too."

I'm all for creating a commotion, but it seems that for all of the expense and planning of such a stunt, they could have done better.

capt. scotty · Apr 08, 2010, 07:31 PM

Great to watch Eldrick and see him have a good round...Very interesting leaderboard with Woods only 2 shots back and Couples, Lefty, and Watson the top 3

capt. scotty · Apr 11, 2010, 07:08 PM

LEFTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!

Not all that suspenseful down the stretch, but Im glad Phil won.

Wasnt it just 5 or so years ago people saying he'd never win a major?! ::)

Ruckus · Apr 18, 2010, 11:42 PM

I didn't dip my head in here for a while but I definitely watched Saturday and Sunday's rounds in their televised entirety. I was happy to see Phil win. He was my pre-tourney pick. I agree with you that it was somewhat anticlimactic but only over the last few holes. At the turn, there were so many names within a few strokes of each other that I thought the back 9 would be insane! Alas, we had to settle for Mickelson's brilliance from the pine straw on 13 with the 6 iron from 207 to within 4 feet. ::) Phil on 13-15 on Saturday may have been the the best 3 hole stretch I've ever witnessed. Had he holed that eagle approach on 15!?...... :o

Yeah, those shenanigans were ridiculous. Who cares right? What was there to do better. He cheated on his wife. Woopity doo. I'd venture that most people are sex addicts. Some are just slightly more prolific than others. I'm more disappointed in Tiger that his ladies weren't any better. ::)

It is for the over publicizing of crap like this that I no longer watch any ESPN other than live game or tournament coverage. It's a freakin soap opera channel publicizing nothing but man drama.
