eHARMONY SUSPENDS TIGER WOODS ACCOUNT

Everyday it seems we learn more about the Tiger Woods saga-ga. The latest revelation comes by way of eHarmony; a web-based company dedicated to matching people with their soul-mate.

“While cleaning out our database  we discovered a rather odd profile and so we investigated,” explained vice-president of Database Cleaner Harmonization Todd Le Monrevelate.

The investigation – outsourced to Thomas Magnum – eventually led them to one Tiger Woods.

Le Monrevelate continued. “Tommy figured out he had two accounts. One under the name Toger Woulds and the other Toods Wiger. It was a head scratcher datsfurshure.”

I managed to gain a copy of  ‘the golfer formerly known as Tiger’ profile and decided to share it with Sportsperspectives because it is a serious blog.

His eHarmony relationship questionnaire revealed obscure interests like “waxing his clubs” and quotes such as “G is not just for Gatorade but for G-spot.”

“To be honest, he wasn’t much of a catch,” an eHarmony member wishing to remain anonymous described her only date with Woods. “His picture was of some Thai prince. So I figured what the heck? I dated far worse looking men. When I saw it was Tiger Woods it was, like, let’s just fuck right here, right now in front of all these people. Anyway. During our date he kept quoting Buddha “that tubby douche” and he would then let out a nervous laugh. That’s when he flashed his Nike wallet and said, let’s fucken roll, bitch.” It was all so erotically strange.”

He also was active in the members board and became very close with ‘Megan.’ Both incidentally are known as “Harm sluts” partly because they’ve bumped around the members areas for several years and still act as if they’re in a meat market.

What gave Tiger away to P.I. Magnum was the subject header on the message board, “Shwing! Hole in two places!” to describe a recent eHarmony date. Another header was more macabre: “Daddy’s gone. I’m going to unleash my inner-hydra.” Finally, “Elin feeds me nothing but Swedish reindeer meatballs from IKEA morning, noon and night” and “I’m the Fugitive Kind.”

It soon became apparent to Mr. Magnum the odd ball they were observing Tiger Woods. “I called Rick and asked Ice-Pick to check it out. He confirmed it was Woods. I handed the info to eHarmony and had to run because T.C. was chasing me down for money I owed him. Not to mention needing to get the Ferrari fixed for the 18th time or else Higgins was going to kill me for real!”

Le Revelate concluded, “We called him to verify if it was indeed him. All we got was a recording of Homer Simpson’s scream “Ah!”

eHarmony decided to suspend his accounts because they don’t tolerate fraudulent activity. However, Mr. Woods will be welcomed back if he agrees to “take their site seriously.”

Stay tuned.

Drive your balls further

You know when a famous person gets busted for doing something bad, some people jump on the bandwagon and start selling stuff. Happened to Hugh Grant, John Wayne Bobbit and it’s happening to Tiger Woods as well.

As I was scouring the net looking for news I came accross this article in the dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf” and apparently they now sell Tiger Woods condoms.

That wasn’t the funny part. The funny part was the invigorating marketing text that said:

Will The Woods Scandal Actually Be Good for Golf?

Random thoughts on Tiger Woods situation….

  • In the long run, will this scandal actually be GOOD for golf? While, alas, all of this media attention is bad publicity for Tiger and golf, it is attention and people who didn’t necessarily know much about Tiger Woods or golf certainly do now. There is something about bad publicity that penetrates the public conscious more than good publicity. For all of Tiger’s huge victories in golf – The Masters, The U.S. Open (his last one in 2008 with a broken leg no less), the British Open and the PGA Championship – he would only occasionally achieve the front pages of newspapers due to his positive efforts and victorieis. Bad news – particularly a sex scandal – sells papers and gets TV ratings. As they say, sex sells. This story has placed Tiger and his name on the front pages of all papers around the world and the lead stories of all TV news outlets – albeit not in a positive way. However, look at Paris Hilton. She was featured in a leaked home sex tape – when she not even close to being a house-hold name – and then, alas, months later, is on the cover of such magazines like Vogue, Elle, etc. and is one of the most famous people in the world. How big will television ratings be for Tiger when he returns to the PGA Tour? Huge. This scandal will likely result in more eyeballs paying attention to Woods and golf when he returns to the game. You watch.

  • John Daly was suspended from the PGA Tour for his public drunken behavior. The suspension was not announced by the PGA Tour, but rather by Daly himself, who announced it casually as it appeared the Tour wished to have the suspension be private and just swept under the rug. Could Tiger’s “indefinite” leave of absence also be a suspension? Is Tiger’s behavior not as detrimental to the PGA Tour as Daly’s? It is highly unlikely that it is a suspension, but it’s something to think about for those cynics among us.
  • The general public likes to rip down people of high stature. People take glee in seeing the rich, famous and successful take a big fall. But what people also like is a comeback. Tiger’s image and reputation have taken a huge hit, and when all of the dust settles, and Tiger returns to the tour, he is going to be an equally huge superstar – probably bigger. You should expect him to get a rousing acceptance back to golf, but not before some continued apologies and Tiger continuing to take responsibility for his mistakes. Tiger will have to continue to – in his way – ask for forgiveness and take his shots and lick his wounds. Look at Kobe Bryant, for example. He is bigger and better than he was during his sex scandal. President Bill Clinton, tennis star Jennifer Capriati and actor Hugh Grant are other examples.
  • People are speculating that Tiger will return for The Masters in April. My guess is he will not be at Augusta this year. The wounds are deep and Tiger needs to prove to his wife and family and, frankly, the world, that he is so sorry that he is willing to skip major tournament golf to correct his life. Who knows, perhaps we won’t see Tiger until 2011 or beyond. That would certainly show his wife that he is committed to keeping his family together.

St. Jeter Canonized By SI; Woods Sees Frogs In The Forest

By Beaker

I’d like to comment on a couple of things: St. Jeter and Horny Woods.

Heard a celebrity PR, damage control expert (now there’s a gig. Like being a “life coach.” I gotta tell ya, if you need a coach to make you live you have problems. I digress) make the following assertion about the useless Tiger Woods story:

“You have to remember good people do bad things.”

That seems like a reasonable thing to say. But after you let the fumes of the paint primer exit your brain, you come to the realization it’s a silly line of thinking.

Good people don’t do bad things. Bad people do.  Good people tend to avoid things like driving 100 in a 30 zone, murder and adultery.

Woods knew what he was doing. He was having an affair. It doesn’t make him bad. Just weak of the flesh and guilty of being stupid. So much for his mental toughness. He may be mentally tough on a lousy golf course but the game of life demands a different kind of inner strength. It also makes him, like every man alive, horny; perhaps perpetually. Who knows and I sure don’t care. Whatever it may be, he has to face the music.

Buh-bye.

What a lame story. It’s a story because people live vicariously through celebrities. They make up all sorts of neat, if not unrealistic, images of the person in their minds (because, you know, they want to believe in role models) and go bat-shit when they find out their…human. The news  network machine, slaves to celebrity gossip now, jump on the story knowing the pathetic psychological state of its viewership and make it a “headline.”

It brings me to something a buddy, not particularly known for his adherence to moral epitaphs and philosophical thought, once said, “You want a role model? Believe in yourself.”

That’s great advice people can use.

Derek Jeter (cue Ave Maria or Handel’s Messiah) was named sportsmen of the year by Sports Illustrated. Nothing wrong with that. He had a great year. Chase Utley (or Albert Pujols) never had a prayer. New York is the market when it comes to baseball.

Watch the hyperbole come in…wait….it’s coming…NOW!

“This verifies my idea that he is on the level of Ruth and Gehrig,” McDonell said. “He’s the greatest shortstop in the history of the game.”

I’m sure SI Group Editor Terry McDonnell knows his sports, but really.

8790 004 7DF5BD20 St. Jeter Canonized By SI; Woods Sees Frogs In The Forest

Wagner: We got your back

No, he’s not. It’s as simple as that. He may have surpassed those two baseball titans in sheer numbers on a couple of stats but Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are two of the greatest players to ever play the game.

In case he forgot, how soon we all forget Pittsburgh Pirates legendary SS Honus Wagner – who until the arrival of St. Jeter was acknowledged by most experts as the greatest SS ever. I would settle for the best SS in Yankees history which is nothing to sneer at. But spare me lumping him with Ruth and Gehrig.

Then again, some may claim Jeter is not even the best shorts stop on the Yankees – Alex Rodriguez is. They’d have a point.

About that:

McDonell was impressed by Jeter’s leadership, how he “stepped in and molded a team” this spring with the arrival of three expensive free agents, and Alex Rodriguez’s admission to using steroids from 2001-03 and then having hip surgery that kept him out until May.

I like the way the media always tries to make A-Rod Jeter’s gimp. Yeah, I know how disliked A-Rod is along with the fact he used steroids and is considered to be a fake to some, but  A-Rod had a wicked season. It’s possible without him they don’t win the World Series.

About Jeter’s leadership. Measuring leadership is a fool’s game. Not that saying he’s a great leader is wrong. There’s enough evidence to suggest he is. However, perspective is needed from time to time. I seem to remember a period between 2000-2008 where his molding floundered. I also remember when he didn’t stick up for A-Rod like he did for Giambi. His leadership is selective. Just saying.

Jeter is a great, great ball player. A player who seems to have an uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right time (cue Handel’s Messiah again) permitting him to make all sorts of “wow” kind of plays. He had a great year and is beloved by New Yorkers. All he has is deserved.

BUT. He’s not on the level of the aforementioned players.

I know this is blasphemy to say. Meh.


Can Tiger Woods Be Compared To Michael Phelps?

By Sneaks Javaho

Sorry, not buying it.

I love golf and all but a golfer is not a swimmer.

Heard one guy say that golf is the toughest mental game around. I wonder how they came to that conclusion. How do you measure this and decipher which sports are more “mental” than others? What, downhill skiers, motor racers and baseball pitchers and hitters are chopped liver?

Others talk about how Woods brings an athlete’s mentality to golf and works out like an animal. Good on him but how does this make him equal to Phelps?

Hey, no one disputes how hard and technical golf can be. Moreover and more importantly it’s amazing what Woods has done for golf. But I fear if we tend to overdo it a little when it comes to Woods. Much was made about his triumph at the Masters playing on a torn ACL. Newsflash: you can do a lot of things on a torn ACL. BUT YOU CAN’T PLAY SOCCER, FOOTBALL, HOCKEY, BASEBALL OR BASKETBALL on a torn ACL.

I’m not talking about how each dominates their disciplines either.

I’m talking about sheer physical, powerful, endurance. In this way, how can one compare a golfer to a swimmer and keep a straight face?

I think sometimes golf is confused with real sports.

So yes, I’m of the opinion Woods should not be compared to Phelps and many other dominating athletes. He is the greatest golfer ever and leave it at that.
