    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.

    Boo

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

    I wonder if anyone on the planet believes in second chances?

    A few million recovered alcoholics and addicts do, because they had one and made good on it.

    It can happen. And does happen, every day.

    I hope Woods and others like him hang around people that are 'winners' - who have made good and/or can encourage him to stay on the right path.

    Being around bashers and naysayers would make taking the right road all that much harder.

    And if the world made it easier for him to take the right road, how long before he took the wrong road again ???
