Tiger Arrested For DUI (NO POLITICS, RELIGION, PERSONAL ATTACKS, ...)

[Thrillhouse]

Man this dead horse just keeps getting beaten.

[Forged4ever]

Richard has no room to say anything, lol!! This was his ML after his run down the street to get his godforsaken snuff last year. Yes, as you can see, he attempted to tie the bumper up with twine, lol. Brake dust? You'd have thought that his rims were deep charcoal grey and not silver. It was so bad that Ava went out and tried to clean them for him, though in fairness, he was not driving(except for his one attempt) and his vehicle was not being driven and I agree with whomever mentioned about mercedes' and BMW's with regards to dust, it's annoying, haha. Have a nice weekend guys :) Madison

 

In Richards defense... it doesn't look like Velcro would have held it up nearly as well.

Thank You

 

Believe it or not I tried this "barge" cement stuff but I got tired of pressing the bumper together and it wouldn't hold. It was garbage!!

 

I turned it around so the nose was sorta in the bushes/trees though I guess the odd park job gave it away cuz a 6yo thought it odd enough to go investigate, lol

 

My decision making is sometimes lacking when I'm medicated?

 

Stay well my Friend?

"Copenhagen is a hell of a drug"

Indeed!!

 

Have a great weekend?

[lowheel]

yup thats what i said... give your head a shake.

 

Martin Kaymer disagrees, I'll take his viewpoint.

 

Without Tiger The Golf Channel would have folded before 2000.

 

LOL no.

[scratchswinger]

yeah its called cable tv and satellite expansion. Did tiger cause the MLB, NFL,NBA,NHL tv deals to sky rocket/explode as well coincidentally during the same time period? Purses would have been exactly the same with or without him. He affected off course money for players and ratings at certain events of course.

 

The bold part above is 100% false, it's not even a discussion, you are simply wrong.

[lowheel]

The video of him doing the breathalyzer is out - I think about 2 hours after he first got pulled over, still totally in outer space. At one point he's standing directly in front of the woman giving him the test and she had to whistle or something to even get him to pay attention. Yikes.

 

He blew into that machine like a linebacker!!

Of course you would think that. Look at your avatar and your comments in this thread...

Purses are attached to TV money. Finchem like other sports comissioners/leaders at that time asked for the moon from networks and got it because content was needed desperately.Tiger wasnt even a tenth of what he would become at that point. WGCs were already being planned to what they are now back then pre tiger. He got great ratings and players made more money from sponsors off the course but golfs purses grew at the exact same rate as other major sports including tennis. To deny this is myopic. He grew the game like all greats but lets not rewrite history here...

[scratchswinger]

Roger Pielke Jr. of SportingIntellgience dug through the numbers in August and outlined what he called the "Tiger Woods effect."

He found that the PGA Tour handed out $101 million in prize money in 1996 (Tiger's last year as an amateur) and $292 million in 2008 (the last year of the Tiger Woods era).

The 9.3% average annual increase in prize money during the Tiger era (1997-2008) is nearly triple the 3.4% average annual increase that the tour saw in the six years before Tiger went pro (1990-96).

 

With the golf industry struggling across the board, purses have dropped by 2.3% since Tiger's career took a turn in 2008, according to Pielke's numbers.

Obviously a coincidence that it coincided with the cable tv boom...Tiger had no effect whatsoever lol......

You realize you just made my point about a new TV contract and its effects on purses right? thanks for agreeing with me

[Forged4ever]

Well if the public peers into your life and you are extremely embarrassed. Then you should be living your life differently.

 

I think the criticism of tiger was deserved, he walls himself off from the world, does things one shouldn't and then gets upset when his "image" is tarnished. No one likes a deceiver.

 

Im guessing his motive in life was to "take" from golf as much as he could and then not give back. He takes from everyone and then expects privacy.

 

And I am actually a tiger Fan.

 

Except he does give a lot back through golf via his foundation and charity contributions. He doesn't owe golf anything, he made golf what it is today. And anyone who is scrutinized on a daily basis as much as him would shut the world out too and withdraw into themselves as it creates a sense of privacy...The one thing he doesn't and can't really ever have unless he is home. I'm not saying he hasn't made mistakes, he obviously has but has also admitted to them when he was in the wrong. The difference is everyone is harder on him because of who he is. I've seen married golf club members fool around with waitresses in the parking lot while their wife was golfing and wives sleeping with the tennis pro while the husband is at work. Both of which are well known to staff, members, etc. and yet everyone will say, "John is a good guy; Julie is such a nice person, blah blah". But Tiger does something and it's "What a Jerk, he should pay for what he did, etc." Celebrities are people just like everyone else and they all have their own issues. The difference is they can hide it due to people on their payroll who are hired to cover stuff up for them. Charles Barkley, another one....well known philanderer...but everyone around town here goes on about what a cool and genuinely nice guy he is, they love CB. It's not fair to judge someone by their mistakes, but judge them by who they are on a daily basis.

[bscinstnct]

I sense...

 

Tiger vs Jack coming!

 

All threads end in

 

Tiger vs Jack ; )

I assume you are posting here with the use of a phone or tablet or laptop/pc? it rhymes with oogle. you can do the math yourself. i have and several other economists have as well and they say the same. Lebron will be long retired in 5 years and the new NBA TV deal will be twice the one before. but how is that possible? Way of the world

[SilverBullets]

So one thing I haven't seen talked about (may have missed it as this a huge thread). But Tiger told the officers had a .40 cal in the car between the front seats. Was a weapon actually found? While he is permitted, isn't it a felony charge to have a concealed firearm while under the influence?

yet since 2008 major tournaments/WGC purses have gone up 40-50% how could this be? Fedex playoffs just renewed for 10 years with no tiger in sight? how could this be?

[mgholda]

Did anyone catch the make of his tires? Were they Bridgestones?

[Potatohead]

Oh boy I'm glad they released that, I didn't quite get it the first time.

Keep kicking man. He's not down all the way yet.

[MK7Golf21]

If you look at his mugshot you can see he's got edema pretty bad in his face (full of fluid). He obviously had a very bad reaction to medication he was taking for his recent surgery. Feel bad for him how media is blasting him. I'll wait until we hear more from him, he might not of known why he was driving and just did it, he was like a zombie

Yeah. Or you could consider getting off his knob for a moment. Maybe get a little fresh air?

lol. No. This is edema. What TW has in his mugshot is regular old garden variety bloating.

 

Keep on making far fetched excuses though.

Not to jump into the middle of a dog fight, lol, however are TV contracts not based off of advertising dollars sold and when Tiger went Uber, he took everyone along with him, the advertisers, the TV stations, the other Players, etc.

 

A TV contract is only going to be as good as the ability to generate advertising revenue and this is where Arnold Palmer and then Tiger did what no other Player did, and bear in mind that Jack is my GOAT and Sam my favorite however neither one really moved the needle.

 

Tiger clocked the needle~

 

Is my thinking wrong on this?

 

Thanks?

Pretty sure it was because of Tiger and Tiger alone Finchem started working/leveraging some pretty heavy TV deals pretty quickly when he arrived.

Of course you're wrong - That's why this thread is 82 pages long, because nobody cares about Tiger

Keep kicking man. He's not down all the way yet.

 

Please tell me where I was kicking? If you read any of my posts throughout this thread you will see I show empathy to this entire ordeal.

 

I believe, if you properly comprehend what I just posted, it was a simple question asking if he was in fact carry a weapon and if that makes this a felony. Which would in turn make this a much more significant legal battle than a DUI due to a bad reaction to prescription drugs.

 

Or you can just continue to think I was kicking him while he's down...
