Tiger: "Bone kinda popped out..." ???

[bscinstnct]

Well, if Tiger doesn't make it in his return to PGA competition, he could always turn to Professional Wrestling. He might have to bulk up a little, but special doctors could help with that. He already has the acting aspect of wrestling down pat, he just has to work on some of the moves. Maybe the hardest part would be picking a stage name for his wrestling career, hmmmm? how about "THE GREAT PRETENDER" !

I think there's a difference between calling a news conference about a subject yourself with your own story (which is not what happened), and being asked to say a few words about your round, and agreeing, and then during that interview set up by the media, being asked by the interviewer about the incident (which is what happened) you can be caught off guard to come up with something pretty quickly. I mean in reality, in all of Tiger's health related issues, how many did he call his own news conference on, fully prepared, as opposed to being questioned on the spot? How well would we all do in the same circumstance? They all have to be professional athletes, plus perfect media responders as well when put on the spot? Just asking a legitimate question, only you get more time to answer
[/quote]

I hear what you say, but is it not beyond the realms of possibility, taking into consideration the very frequency that this is now happening, and also that these incidents appear to mainly happen when it appears he is no longer in the hunt for Tournaments, that Woods fakes the seriousness and reaction to these things in order to get some level of attention back that he has become accustomed to over the last 35 years? Knowing that it will be the topic of conversation and the inevitable questions by the media that will come with it?

Is that not possible at all? I mean, none of us actually know him do we? So whilst some people will fall one side and believe whatever the guys says and does, whilst some others are beginning to smell the coffee.
[/quote]

Great point Jay, none of [i]us [/i]actually know him...
[/quote]

No we don't but that doesn't stop the speculation when it comes with such frequency. Jeez, he seems to be getting injured in some way, these days, at virtually every Tournament he plays these days. He must be the unluckiest Golfer since the game was invented. Munchausen syndrome?
[/quote]
Guess you didn't see the instant pain register when he hit that root? Unluck, yes. And I felt it in my living room.[/quote]
This is multiple times now that you have claimed to "feel" Tiger's injuries while in your home. If that's not psychosis, I'm not sure what is!

[rlynham]

I can't think of any other player who would say something that strange. I watched it and was like here we go again.

Haney mentioned in his book that Steve Williams/Steinberg would routinely roll their eyes at Tiger's injury complaints.

Odd that the club didn't bend.

The club did bend but Tiger bent it back correctly before putting it back in the bag - he did it so fast you couldn't see it, much like putting his bones back into place.

What a warrior and a true American hero.

[/quote]

my point exactly.... this is just drama for the sake of creating drama....not tiger creating it...all the people who analyze everything he says creating it.. Im a Phil fan and he said something to the effect of " im wearing black sunday cause studies show black ups the intimidation factor by 10" I told him to shut up as he said it...weirdo comment for sure...and nobody is raving about that .. Stenson ( im also a huge fan) came into the week with the excuse of having a bad bad bug....then is seen on the range eating a giant chili cheese burger... hardly something I want when I have the flu... no mention either.. If tiger had done or said either there would be at least 4 new threads about it.... Is it time we start talking about why there is so much raw hate for this person?

I haven't read the thread but i will assume its a bunch of jokes or saying Tiger is lying.

That being said how many of the EXACT same things were said about Tiger and his back?? To be fair, there were MANY golf fans and media thinking he was faking. Then what happened? Well, he was indeed telling the truth and had basically a year ending back surgery.

I don't think anyone is questioning him hurting his hand or wrist hitting whatever he hit on Sunday. The drama he likes to create is what people are poking fun at.

We knew his back was bothering him, but repeatedly dropping to the ground as if Chris Kyle sniped him was a bit extreme.

And therein lies the problem. People with NO CLUE say he's not injured or he's lying and BOOM out for the year. You know it happened and i know it happened.

Maybe he was lying about the hand but after the bark flying up and a viscous swing it wouldn't surprise me if something popped out,moved and he moved it back. It's not even in the slightest an unreasonable thought.

Hell, for all we know it could have a tear right now.

Once again, you are missing the point. Sure there are some disbelievers over whether Woods has any of these ailments at all, but the vast majority are not questioning some niggles, we all get them from time to time on and off the Golf Course, what the majority of people are suggesting is that he is making such a big deal and plays the Martyr oh so well, and that they are somewhat embelished, for whatever reason.

Perhaps you have not read the whole thread, and if not, then that may be the reason for your comments.

OT but this reminds me of one of the funniest public relations gaffes of Phil's career.

He was playing in the Walker Cup in Ireland. In an interview after the round he mentioned an errant drive that went in the rough and said:

"the rough is not the place to be. The Irish women aren't that attractive."

[straightshot7]

Tiger has hidden injuries from the media in the past. He never told us the extent of his leg injury during the 2008 open for example, until well after.

Those of you saying he's looking for sympathy are wrong. It's not like he's claiming he would have won had he not hurt his hand on the root.

The fact is, people who want to criticize Tiger will criticize Tiger. It doesn't matter what he does.

The injury he had and tried to hide was before his last Major win? Then there are well publicized 'injuries' since then, which he has not tried to hide, and he has not won a Major since? Hmmmm, would he be better served going back to keeping quieter about such 'injuries' then? Just a coincidence maybe.

Some of you people need help and that is coming from someone that doesn't even like Tiger.

My father played pro baseball back in the day. Early in his career he was hit on the end of his right pinkie of his throwing hand with a line drive. It drove the bone up towards his wrist. He said he squeezed it and it popped it back so he kept playing. (Men used to be men unlike some of the pansies here). The rest of his life he could pop it out. When we were kids we would ask him to do it because it made his pinkie lock up and get distorted. We would squeeze the pad of his hand and it would pop back in place and straighten out. It always made us laugh. He never complained of any pain. That is ten times worse than what Tiger described.
