I have to say I'm with LP on this one... Tiger's a superstar and the best golfer in the world right now, but his on-course antics are way over the top. I've banged my fair share of clubs on the ground, even threw a few, but not in front of millions of people. I get it, he's emotional and that drives him, blah, blah... but I don't like it. I've heard other pro golfers curse, etc., but none to the levels that he does.

As far as the marriage/infidelity stuff... who cares, he's an adult, he made his choices, but I do think it's funny that he gets pissed when people ask questions...

he's been quite the little whiny biatch since this whole thing started.

He's always been a whiny bitch, IMO. When he hits a bad shot or is mad at the gallery he's always had the look on his face like he's about to start crying. Great golfer but a POS as a person I guess.

In all fairness...he was once the greatest golfer in the world, maybe even of all time. He was chasing history nearly every time he stepped onto the course. He is who he is. He gets angry when he doesn't perform up to his standards. That is just who Tiger is.

Yet millions of people still watch every single time he lifts a club. If you don't like it, don't watch Tiger. If you still want to watch, but don't want to hear, press mute. In every single other sport people get angry and curse and throw things and have temper tantrums. I know that golf is a "gentleman's sport" but to me it's good to see someone with some fire out there.

But this is all coming from someone with a serious love/hate relationship with golf. I have thrown many a tantrum on the course before. :mad::D

Im sure hes the only one that has temper tantrums :rolleyes:

I've been to my share of pro golf tourneys and watched many a hour of golf on TV... he's by FAR the worst in the sport.

Oh there's plenty of other a-holes... Colin Montgomery and Rory Sabatini come to mind... Vijay is no saint either, but he's just arrogant, he keeps it cool out on the course.

The weird thing is it's hard for me to believe Tiger achieved the level of play he has with that temper/attitude... for most everyone else in the golfing world, they've had to learn to control that emotion and play even tempered to play well. I know from personal experience, as soon as I start letting bad shots get to me, I might as well quit right then and there.

It's all about channelling that anger. Again, see one Steve Smith. :P

i won't deny that, but i just don't think its a big deal. guys like Manning, Brady, Kobe, Jordan all got extremely pissed off during games and threw tantrums. the list goes on. im not trying to take up for Tiger bc i don't care enough ab him (or golf) to do so. I just that in sports this happens alot. hell i do it. its bad, poor sportsmanship, and probably rude, but it happens

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
