Random News Shit: Tiger Woods Edition

Tiger Woods
Before I tackle these stories, I want to tell everybody to read Jason Whitlock's column on Tiger Woods. I read it last week and I must say, it is an exceptional piece of work, or as some would say, the truth!

1) Tiger Woods Voted AP Athlete Of The Decade
And you know what?? Its not even really close. Tiger dominated his sport for the entire decade. To me, Roger Federer would be #2 over Lance Armstrong because Lance didn't even compete for the entirety of the decade. Well anyway, congrats to Tiger.

2) Doctor Arrested For PEDs Linked To Tiger Woods
Okay, lets stop it! This is complete bullshit and everybody knows it. They know good and damn well Tiger was not juicing and this "link" is faulty at best. Tommy Craggs of Deadspin really breaks in down in this column, you should really check it out.

Besides that, what would be the benefit of Tiger taking PEDs?? The man plays golf, golf is a really a game of putting, and putting is a skill, not something you can develop chemically. The media is just trying to pile on Tiger at this point.

3) Nike, Tag Heuer continue sponsorship with Tiger Woods
And really, why wouldn't they?? Tiger will be fine and if they drop him now, they'll just be running to pick him back up as soon as he wins his next major. Tiger didn't commit a crime and he isn't a political figure running on a platform of family values, he'll be fine.

4) Elin Allegedly Divorcing Tiger
People can make jokes about Tiger being dumb for doing what he did, but he was smart enough to get Elin to sign a prenup. She's still gonna get some money, but she sure as hell ain't getting half lol.
