From Tiger Woods himself, via Twitter: “Staying with Mark Steinberg. Total Confidence in him. Excited about the next stage in my professional life. Fond memories of Mark McCormack.” Speaking to Darren Rovell of CNBC – a business network…always playing the angles are Steiney and Tiger – Steiney said: On where he’s going to go…...
Tiger Woods’s “comeback” took two more turns for the worse last week as (1) his agent, Mark Steinberg will part ways with entertainment and sports mega-conglomerate IMG effective June 30 and (2) Tiger once again made himself look like an impenitent jerk when he tried to bribe the golf writers at Aronimink for media day into not asking certain...
The red flashing light at the bottom of the ESPN screen grabbed my attention away from the game: Tiger Woods injured again. What? Did he fall out of bed and break his schlong? Probably, but that shouldn’t shelf him for golf, although after 121 women, he probably wishes he could hit the ball with his dick. According to stories, if he could do that he would have...
Talk about the chickens coming home to roost, now Madison Avenue is confirming that since post-scandal Tiger looks just like pre-scandal Tiger – meet the new boss…same as the old boss – ad companies are justifiably skittish. Nancy Armour of the AP interviewed several execs for this piece. From the article: “He still curses. He still tosses...
I’m working on an article dispelling he myth hat golf needs Tiger Woods. The most refreshing thing I’ve learned? The fans are really fed up with Woods. Despite the papers and the networks being preconditioned and afraid of change – and therefore willing to look the other way when Woods turns into a werewolf, bites the head off a live llama, and...
Okay, so it wasn’t the “Golden Shower” he discussed with porn stars, but was it “spitto, spittere” or “hactui splatum?” The old Latin I joke came true for a still embattled and controversy embroiled Tiger Woods as many in the golf World are horrified by his breach of golf etiquette, basic manners, and hygiene. With what looks...
While I prepare some Jazzy Award presentations, here is the list of people who came in second to Tiger Woods at majors. This is a sure bar bet winner for you… THE MASTERS 1997 – Tom Kite 2001 – David Duval 2002 – Retief Goosen 2005 – Chris DiMarco THE U.S. OPEN 2000 – Ernie Els, Miguel Angel Jimenez 2002 – Phil Mickelson 2008...
Since silly season is upon us, I can turn my attention to Jay’s Golf Awards, known around here as the Jazzys. Last year, we only gave out two awards since the Tiger scandal scud-attacked every other story all December, (not to mention the rest of the year). We gave out the 2009 Turkey of the Year to Woods for being a poor sport and role model, but that was...
Let’s tie up a few loose ends before you fall asleep in front of the TV due to tryptophan, I tuck you in, and head off to watch either NFL Network or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Jaime Diaz may have saved the best for last this year after this great retrospective of Johnny Miller appeared in the December issue of GD. Diaz is a formidable writer with a...
Lots of people these days believe the old joke, “Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result.” On that note – Quick! – someone decide quick whether to reserve a Bellevue bed or straight-jacket for Woods, Agent Mark Steinberg or both because New Tiger looks and sounds just like Old Tiger: new year, same...
It was a Happy Halloween to everyone except Tiger Woods, whose year long Fright Night continued as he lost his World Number 1 Ranking to Lee Westwood. At the end of the day, who cares? The World Rankings were born of IMG’s desire to find something they could put in the sports pages along with an advertisement. The original went exactly like this: Quintessential...
This week two different Jezebels that Tiger Woods unwisely let get too close have been passing out their tabloid-esque tabs of black acid to anyone dumb enough to stick out their tongue. Porn star and hooker Devon James and high-end prostitute Loredana Jolie (no relation to Angelina except in general decrepitness) have been trying to sell their stories but with less...
The divorce between Tiger and Elin is final. Doug Ferguson has the best write up of the divorce papers. From the article: “The divorce was granted in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., about 375 miles away from their Isleworth home outside Orlando. The couple had married in October 2004 in Barbados and have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 19-month...
The self-immolation of Tiger Woods continues at a frenetic pace, with little likelihood of relief until at least April 2011. After his third consecutive clueless round well over par, his rude and surly dismissal of no less a personage than Larry Dorman, the writer for the New York Times, is Exhibit A that Woods’s definition of “making my behavior more...
Here’s some video that qualitatively shows exactly how far along Tiger Woods is in trying to show more respect for the game and why suckers…sponsors should throw money at him without asking any questions. Nice to see that he’s really learned something from his scandal and fall, and that he’s devoted to avoiding all the mistakes he made in the...
