In inflation-adjusted dollars or 3000 BCE sheep?Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

That doesn't seem like the right way to look at it. I could reasonably opine that the fact that Tiger has billions of dollars just because he can swing a stick is pretty screwed up.Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostTo me that seems pretty screwed up. $750 million for getting married and having his children.

I'm guessing that intoxication and highly-descriptive offers of things intended were enough to seal the deals. Perhaps things were mentioned that Mrs. Woods wasn't keen on. Perhaps Tiger is a lech who will copulate with anyone who wants to with him. Maybe his marriage was loveless. Maybe he was lonely, alienated, a victim of the postmodern world's hollowed-out cogito.Originally posted by Bengal Cougar View Post
But I am just saying it seems like he settled for some average looking women, he could have done better.

He already was doing a lot better. His wife is a very attractive woman. Paul Newman's quote comes to mind: "Why go out for hamburger when you can have steak at home."Originally posted by Bengal Cougar View PostDon't get me wrong I am not saying it makes it easier for his wife or that if he had been with better looking women it would make it at all ok. Tiger is a complete douche for what he has done.

The Paul McCartney thing was much more egregious. McCartney was probably 25 years older than that woman and such an age disparity involving a wealthy man always raises the specter of the women being in it for one thing.
The law recognizes the assets should have some equitable split even though the man may earn most or even all the money. It produces results like what you have in Tiger Woods, but it also protects against the husband taking everything when his wife has sacrificed her career and everything in order to establish and maintain the household and raise the kids. Exceptions can't be made for uber-wealth guys.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

Maybe not gay, but he could certainly play for both teams. For her to agree to not say anything ever, even after he is dead, that's something. The speculation of course is that he has either had sex with men as well or that he has taken steroids.Originally posted by SteelBlue View PostThis pretty much makes it official that Tiger is gay.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I really doubt that. It seems that something like that would have already come out. Also, I don't think he would ever make it to Jordan's inner circle if there was any gayness about him.Originally posted by DrumNFeather View PostMaybe not gay, but he could certainly play for both teams.

One thing that's come out during this whole deal was Tiger's almost pathological tendency towards a desire for absolute privacy. It sounds like he's literally willing to pay 10s or even 100s of millions for it.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

I don't think he is gay. He wants her kept quiet because she could completely ruin his chances of getting back to where he once was in his endorsement deals, and she could turn alot more peopel permanently against him.Originally posted by DrumNFeather View PostMaybe not gay, but he could certainly play for both teams.

I'm somewhat bothered that I'm not that bothered more by what tiger did. By all accounts Tiger is a bad guy and Phil is a really good one, but I still find myself rooting for Tiger. My wife wants to see him impaled with a 2 iron and was annoyed I was cheering for him during the US Open. I'm a conflicted man.

I was joking, but there has been one accusation made, way back when the mistresses were first coming out of the Woodswork:Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostI really doubt that.
