Demoted to looking like a prison inmate at Riker’s Island or Sing-Sing…out in the yard lifting weights…in the nude. Tiger is finding out first hand just how much everybody in the media world…and maybe in the world of golf really loves him. Like the old saying goes-
You really never find out who your friends are until when you are down.
I had thought to finally say something on Tiger
Woods today…but this photo really motivated me to certainly do so. I am really feeling bad for him. For 1 thing …because his number 1 support and person that he turned to…his father passed and 
left him a few years ago now. So, who does he have that he can turn to…to talk to?
I don’t know?

But clearly he needs a voice with wisdom who can speak to him as a 
friend and confidant. Because when it has all been said and done…Tiger is still pretty much just a kid. And you can clearly tell that by some of the decisions that he has made lately.
Who in world told him to take a shot like the one which is currently parading around on the front cover of Vanity Fair?
And what a bad time for such a stupid magazine cover and photos of him to pop up. Clearly that photographer was no friend of his. But it just goes to show you that when you are down the vultures will start circling you like half dead road kill…closing in the finish off the job.
The truth be told…none of them ever really like seeing a black man with a white woman. Particularly…a black man with lots and lots…and lots of money…more money than them. And he didn’t get it pimping or selling drugs…or being a rapper?
Though Tiger does not consider himself black…or African American…but a mixture of several other things…he may well yet get to know that his real problem is much like that 
of what Ojay’s was…as in Simpson.
I am sure that you still remember him. How could you forget Ojay?
I spent many hours…days and nights…months…a couple of years maybe…watching television staying up biting my nails with each of the episodes and turns of his story…and as they unfolded. When I hit LA…was I not treated to a visit of that infamous house and street where everything happened?
He 
was well loved too…and though I never thought of it before …he had plenty of endorsements too. But of course…Tiger endorsements far exceed anything that poor ol’ Ojay could have ever hoped for. But they also have one other thing in common…and that is… being black men who love white women. And perferably…blonde.
In Ojay’s case it ended up in murder. And in Tiger’s…a few busted car windows…well, all of them… by an enraged wife swinging a golf club.
When I first heard about Tiger extra-martial affairs…and caught a glimpse of some of the women…all I could wonder was-
“When did all of this start?”
I wondered if it came about as some backlash or need out of lost following the pasting of his father. Which I know it had to have been a pretty big blow…devastating blow and lost to Tiger. Being that they were so close.
Though I offer no excuses for Tiger or his lack of discretions or wise thinking 
concerning
his involvement with several women outside of his marriage. No, I would never do that…as I do feel that marriage is something sacred.
And should be treated as such.
For the life of me…I never got over ‘the Donald’ leaving Ivana for Paula. And I was 
not alone in my thinking.
But men do some dumb things.
I couldn’t understand Michael Jordan cheating on his wife…or the problems in Shaq’s marriage. 
If you have a good woman…what in the street is going to make you ruin your good thing?
And not that I know that was the problem between Shaq and his wife…but it was for ‘the Donald’ and for Michael.
How do you mess up your family life like that?
How can your mind be thinking so uncorrectly?
Evidently, Tiger never read anything about what had happened to actor 
Morgan Freeman once he had his accident, and information was disclosed to his wife about him riding around in their car with some girlfriend…who was injured in that accident too. No, Tiger could not have read that story. Because if he had…I am so sure that Tiger might not have found himself in this position which he currently is in.
Morgan Freeman’s wife didn’t even wait 24 hours before she hit him with the divorce 
papers…bright and early…before day break the following morning after Morgan’s crashing his car…and having to be pulled out of it via the aid of the ‘Jaws of Life’...with his girlfriend seated right beside him.
Morgan’s wife’s lawyers went into his hospital room while one of his legs was suspended up the air…with the cast wrapping it still damp. But that small little thing did not stop them…or any consideration to the amount of pain he may have been…while they served him with her divorce papers. Which based upon the reports has cost him far more pain than those few scratches from the actual impact of that accident.
But Tiger’s situation is a little bit different. They have small 
children. Being that Tiger chose to marry her…I am sure that he must have found some likeable or even highly redeeming qualities in his wife at the time he proposed then later married her. And as I have never seen much of her being out in public view…with all the cameras flashing about her…clearly she is not one of those people out to make a name or gain some type of fame for herself.
Seeing how much he obviously loves his children…I would suggest that Tiger get down on his knees if he has to. But do it…or whatever it may take to save his marriage and win his wife back.
Of course she is angry. But what self-respecting woman wouldn’t be?
But beyond all that anger…most women start to think about their family and what is best for their children.
I have never been married but I do realize that if a relationship is worth keeping…and things can be worked 
out…or salvaged… then that is what should happen. Many times we have to put 
away our pride and hurt…and look at the bigger picture. And that is… (1) do I love this person… (2) can we make this work… (3) and be happy and a family in it?
And oh, yes…probably the biggest question of them all…(4) can I get over it…and allow us to move on in this marriage without it forever plaguing me?
I’m hoping that Tiger decides that his family is worth more to him 
than all the accolades …and money that he has won. And…yes, even more than he loves golf.
And I am also hoping that this very public stumble…and that is what it is…not a fall but a stumble…will prove to be a valued lesson to Tiger in this his time of derision. And that he will go on to aid him in becoming the best father to his children…and husband to his wife…whom I really do hope that he loves since she is the mother of his children.
In my life I have had to learn so many lessons. Most of them were not easy to take…some embarrassing…some down right stupid… and some even shameful to me. But in the end they were lessons that I needed to learn. And I am now glad I had them…but at the time they hurt and were hard for me to take.
Now, if Tiger goes on to play some of best golf of his life…watch how 
quickly the tide will turn around. And that is just what Tiger is going to have to do…from this point on.
If he thought he liked pressure before…it’s pressure that he is truly
going to get now. Because he will have to out perform and prove 
himself now in ways he never had to before.
At the end of the day…will he be able to do it?
That is the question.
Well…he’s Tiger Woods isn’t he…still?
Though it is interesting just how quietly the whole episode of Charlie Sheen and his threatenin
g his wife with a knife so quickly and quietly faded off the radar screen. Along with his other run in with the law…for driving under the influence (DUI). And nobody pulled any endorsements from up under him…or thought about cancelling his show.

I wonder why?

UPDATE: Thursday, February 19, 2010
Why is everybody bothering poor Tiger Woods. He does not owe any of us an 
apology. The matter is really between him and his wife.
How many men have been caught in the same trap?
John Edwards, numerous other politicans…such as the governor of New Jersey…now an ex-governor…Giuliani…aand others 
on Capital Hill…such as Bill Clinton…as well as numerous actors…such as Mel Gibson…and that list just goes on and
on…not to mention other male athletes.
For some reason seem…not all…but many…just seem to have a problem 
keeping their pants up. And some of them…like it both 
ways…but yet poor Tiger is being dragged through the mud like this is some type of new phenomenon…like 
this never happened before. Oh, please…it happens so often who can keep count. And then when 
these guys are caught with anything other than a woman…then maybe they too are dragged through the mud and through the streets.

And it is not that I am excusing Tiger. No, not at all. But to me…he is just a kid who 
recently lost his hero…I would assume that this is when all of this started happening. So, I feel for him…and you should too. And we all should hope that this situation will bring something positive and a new direction to his life. Something that he may have lost focus of in the passing of his father. It does happen.
So, no…Tiger Woods owes none of us nothing. All of his apologies should be 
directed to his wife…and his children. And possibly to his mother…who I am sure may also be very hurt by his behavior…and recent poor choices.
None of us can say that we have never made any mistakes…or so poor choices at some time in our life.
Why isn’t anybody calling for Charlie Sheen when he pull a knife out on his wife…or for his latest family blunder? Which seem to be an on-going thing with poor ol’ Charlie.

Just let Tiger alone. Clearly the thing is tearing him up. He looks so old. He 
definitely is in great need of someone positive to step into his life to aid him…and to give him some sure and positive advice concerning this 
matter…and who can aid him in being strong through it. He needs a strong male figure…some with business smarts and plenty of wisdom to replace that person who he once had. He need someone like the one he lost when his father died.
(Again just DOUBLE CLICK the video and ignor the text to view it)
It is my hope, however, that Tiger gets a grip upon his life…and not become too reliant upon pyscho-therapy…or Buddha…or Budhism…but upon God.
It has been exceedingly cold here. But then…it’s winter and it is suppose to be cold. And it is suppose to get colder.
I knew all along that we were in for a real winter this year. And we are getting it…and I guess everybody is.
Had to shovel a couple more times. But it was fun. And remarkably the house really isn’t all that cold…considering that furance is blown.
Or maybe…it is just that I am getting use to it. I don’t know which…but I thank God for 
it.
So, needless to say…I have been sleeping late and spending as much time as I can up under the blankets. And it is working…it is aiding me in staying warm. I am even writing this up under the blankets…but I am beginning to look forward to Spring already.
Well, Go
d bless…
