Will the real Tiger Woods please stand up?

Dear Tiger Woods,
You lying, cheating, club-throwing, multi-billionaire scumbag. How could you do this? Like honestly, did you think you wouldn't get caught? Let's think about some of the events that have transpired the past few days.
1. ESPN reports that you get in a car crash. Everyone is concerned. Concerned about your health, concerned about your family, concerned about your career, etc.
2. ESPN and FHP report that it was a single car accident. You plowed over a fire hydrant and smashed a tree in your $100,000 car.
3. ESPN and FHP report that your windows are smashed, you don't have any shoes on, and that you will not be playing in your Chevron World Challenge tournament during the coming weekend.
4. FHP seeks a subpeona for hospital records to find out what information Tiger's blood samples had in them.
5. Reports coming from ESPN, TMZ, and other sources stating that you had been having affairs with up to 7 DIFFERENT WOMEN, which list includes bar waitresses and porn stars.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!
Tiger Woods? THE Tiger Woods? You mean the guy who's reputation is shinier than Mr. Clean's bald head? No way....

Well, yes way.... Have you not seen something like this before? An athlete, or government official, or role model who has this great reputation ends up having an event happen in their life that tear's them apart so that they whole world can see what they are really made of. It's happened before! And apparently that group of people has found the newest (and probably richest) member of their exclusive club.

Will the real Tiger Woods please stand up?

No not you Mr. Public Relations guy who speaks for Woods and speaks only through ridiculous statements that reveal no new information about anything.

Will THE REAL Tiger Woods please stand up?!

Does this new escapade into the previously hidden private life of Tiger Woods possibly explain his erratic behavior on the golf course? Let me give you an example:

Have you ever done anything in your life that you knew you were going to be punished for, and you knew you had to fess up to it all? How did you feel when you had to do that? Unfortunately, I have been in this position a few times, and it feels like a mill-stone is hanging around your neck. Do you not begin to crack mentally? Does your behavior towards other resemble your anguish that you have inside of you? Are you not able to focus because of your "problem" that you have to deal with?

Now take the last statement and compare it to Tiger. We had not seen that sort of erratic behavior from him EVER until these last few tournaments that he entered in. You would expect that kind of behavior from an 18 year old, not a 34 year old Professional Golfer/World Icon. He began by slamming his club into the tee box or rough or wherever he was. Then he would throw his clubs. Then he would yell at spectators. Was it really that he was mad at his "bad shot" or was it that he couldn't focus on his stroke because he was dealing with other things mentally?

The squeaky-clean image that was Tiger Woods just got chopped, mashed, cut into little tiny pieces, and set-on fire faster than Charles Barkley could blow $100,000 at a casino. There was a reason Tiger wanted to keep his private life...well... private. Because we would all see who he REALLY is.

On the outside, he is the EPITOME of how a professional athlete should handle himself. On the inside, he is just another athlete with too much time, too much money, and too much time with the ladies.

This guy is a MARRIED man. Not that that means much anymore in our society (that a whole other subject though). Being married means something. It means committment. It means honesty. It means loyalty. It means being there for your family, no matter how hard the circumstances get.

Now don't get me wrong, I believe in repentance and forgiveness. I thoroughly do. Its one thing to commit adultery with one woman besides your wife, and immediately confess, repent, and be forgiven. Its another thing to sleep with 7 different women, and try to hide it forever.

I feel really sorry for Elin Woods, Tiger's wife. She must be going through some sort of a personal hell right now that I am sure many women have gone through before. Except that her personal hell is in the national spotlight. She is probably thinking "What did I do wrong? Am I not pretty enough? Do I not communicate well?".

Some guys just don't get it. We have seen it time and time again.

And we just saw it one more time.

The real Tiger Woods stood up, and showed us who he really was.
