I think enough is enough the coverage over Tiger Woods. He and his family are going through a lot right now and I don't think the media needs to keep saying or showing something about it. He admitted what he did and now his wife is divorcing him, so life goes on. I think all of you "Media" people need to clean around your back doors and clean the skeletons out of your closets. You are just making money on the coverage, remember your past and what you are doing right now, like an affair could show up at your front door anytime. So be careful how you keep putting Tiger down and write or covering it. Knock Knock! Who's there?

Tiger, player of the year. Well deserved. He played with Mindy and played with Holly, and Jaimee and Cori, and . . . Way to go Tiger

I am sure Tiger is using steroids and/or HGH....How else would he pack on 30 lbs of muscle to his scrawny frame in less than a year? Do those drugs help him play golf? I seriously doubt it. What ever the case may be, he went from hero to zero and the one award they forgot to give him is "Douchebag of the Year."

As far as I know there are no steroid or HGH testing for golfers. There is a unwritten test that all fans have and keep. Tiger has joined Barry Bond, Mark McGuire, and Sammy Sosa into the pit of the record book asterisk controversy.

Tiger and O'Bama trade places (They kinda look alike anyway). So, when we get screwed by the new president at least we get paid, and this give O'Bama a shot at the Nobel Prize for Golf (plus he might like the cheap blonds, for a change of pace!)

Tiger Woods has just screwed up golf for a billion married male golfers. No guy will be able to spend 5 hours doing ANYTHING. All married guys will have curfews. Thanks a lot, Tiger, you idiot.
