you said “rating” points……I was just guessing that you meant ranking points.

can someone help me put a ringtone on my portable cellular telephone ? I don’t mind taking it out of the bag if it has to be opened up. (lol)

Focus, dude! We’re talking about McDowell here.

I don’t know what would make you happy. I make a comment about tiger’s 10th woman and handicap responds then you come back and say “Can we not take this article about Graeme McDowell’s second place finish down the Tiger Woods road???” So we stopped.
Then 2 hours after my comment you make your own Tiger comment……..sooooooo….what’s up??

You nailed it. He will eventually have try to recover from the “public relations” nightmare he has caused, but mending the home front will probably more difficult than any tournament or match he has ever had. Of course, if he doesn’t love his wife and/or doesn’t care about the marriage, then the home front won’t matter that much.

All VERY good points, Handi – but not what I was talking about.

You posted that you saw Michael Vick on TV – but what you saw wasn’t what actually happened. Fox showed a contiuous string of people in Philly jerseys and Vick jerseys. Before the game, Vick was soundly booed. When he came in for his first play, he was booed again, but there was a smattering of cheers, which Fox keyed in on. By the end of the game, the Iggles and Vick fans were still there cheering for Vick, but there weren’t enough Falcons fans to drown them out.

What I wrote was a joke – people are willing to cheer for a guy who bankrolled and ran a dogfighting business for 5 or 6 years. People cheer for Koby Bryant after what he was accused of doing.

The part about Tiger is this – he didn’t commit a crime. He probably cut off his nose as far as his marriage goes unless he truly changes, or they make some sort of financial agreement (which takes it out of the range of being a real marriage in my book). Outside of his family – NONE of the women running around screaming that Tiger is some sort of mysoginistic ogre have any reason to be offended. ONE man screwed around on his wife – not ALL men.

And since you missed the joke (wouldn’t be the first of my attempts at humor that went unnoticed) – let’s ask about the other side of that equation. What about women who marry for money ? What about women who date men only for what he can give them ? What about women who have affairs ? And what about the women Tiger was sleeping with – don’t THEY reflect negatively on women ? (of course not – because that’s covered in the “woman code”)

It goes both ways. The POINT/joke of what I said was that Tiger’s biggest problem is that he angered/offended a gender that never forgets anything that can be used in their favor in the future – whether it happened to them or not.
