Tiger Woods blah blah blah

Tiger Woods finally made his press statement this morning, and now everybody has to talk about that, so I guess I should too. I doubt I’ll enjoy it. Tiger apologized repeatedly to the mysterious group of people attending his conference, and expressed regret for letting down his fans.

I don’t know how much of a fan I ever was, although I think I am significantly more of one now. Previously, Tiger was a golfer, and that’s not a sport I have any interest in or real knowledge of, but it turns out he was also an all star in the SFL (sport-fucking league), and played for a team so good, it would probably have been worthwhile getting season tickets.

Honestly, I don’t think I could care less about this, or anything else Tiger Woods does. He’s a professional athlete who cheated on his wife, and people are acting like that’s never happened before. The Winter Olympics are going on right now, something that happens only every four years, and this Tiger story is eating away at coverage of that much more deserving event.

Disgraced athletes are way more fun when they do something original, like get involved in dog fighting, for example. Tiger, if you want me to care, start up a tiger fighting league.
