I don't get it. I honestly don't get why Tiger Wood's apology or his comeback is such a big story. Humble Howard had this on his website today:

"TIger is back for the Masters. Yes Black Heyzoos returns and all is right in golf. That sound you just heard is the PGA tour sighing... "

Howard is not the only one. I read this today off of the Huffington Post, it was CBS's President Sean McManus saying that this would be "among the biggest events of the decade"

Whoa there Sean and Howard and the rest of those who think Tiger is still god....hes not.

Maybe McManus wants it to be the event of the decade but why should it be? Its a great golfer to be sure (I will not take that away from Tiger Woods) but a shallow and average human being at best returning. He doesn't deserve the hype hes getting.

I agree the initial story back in November was huge. No doubt about it, No one saw it coming. But since then the media has been pulling such a reversal of opinion and most of us (me not included) have fed off this media blitz hook, line, and sinker. First it was how bad Tiger is, then the apology.

HA! The apology, which I didn't take the time to write about it because I didn't think it was worth the time, but Ill say it now. Why in the world was he apologizing to the media or his fans? He did nothing wrong to his fans or the media did he? Its his wife that deserved the apology and why did he do so long after the initial event? Why wait? Because he knew the media shit storm would surround the damn thing and hype it all up, get everyone talking and bait everyone's breath who gave a damn for his eventual return.

So, here we are his return and no shit CBS's president wants the ratings to be among the highest of the decade, hes the president of the network that carries all the major golf events.

The fact is this is a guy who cheated on his wife with multiple women which makes him no better than any other guy who has ever cheated on his wife. Hes a great golfer as an athlete, but a scumbag in life. Why are we celbrating this? Why are we hyping this? The media should be ashamed of themselves for the reversal of attitude on this. It should be like any other day in golf and just broadcast it withou all the hype. Besides, its not like he went far...he finished the season last year did he not? Its been about 6-7 months since everyone saw him play last. So big deal.

Im looking at it this way, if he cheated on his wife whats to say he hasn't cheated on golf? He was tied to that steroids doctor was he not? Maybe it wasn't proven but hey, with what he has done in his home life, every other aspect of his life is in doubt too. Hes not innocent anymore and he certainly doesn't deserve the hype and attention he will get at the Masters.
