    I heard about, won't go out of the way to watch it.

    It's rumored his dad was the 'same way' w/his marriage.

    If they somehow edit his dad's hand appearing from the sky and slapping him in the head after the line, "I want to know what you are/were thinking?"

    I'd buy stock.

    Otherwise?

    I agree with Richard, and the whole thing is a cheap shot. But then, can we expect anything different from this jerk!!!???

    And yes, he came by his ways rightfully, as his father was as big an a$$ as Tiger. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. No big deal was made about Earl's actions, since he was a small fry and not big game.

    I wonder if doing an ad like this was the only way Nike would give him another chance.

    We were asked to comment on the AD, not about 2nd chances.

    Now that I've seen it, I don't like it. I'm also surprised at Nike's decision not to drop Tiger from sponsorship.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    My husband heard on one of the sports radio shows that the commercial is a fraud. It was not simply one conversation that Earl Woods had with his son - it's made up of clips of things he said over time - to and about others, not Tiger.

    I have never owned a pair of Nikes, and do not intend to start now.

    I heard that Tiger and Elan are in the process of working out divorce details. I hope all those flings were worth it, because he sure is losing so much. Elan will stay in FL for an unspecified amount of time, but then is supposed to be moving back home to that house she recently bought. Sure makes weekend visitation with the kids for Tiger, somewhat inconvenient!!! Yup - those flings must have been worth it.......

    Isn't this story sad? And we have Sandra Bullock in the same situation.

    What in God's good name are these dudes thinking? I guess just from the waist down.
