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

      BREAKING: Panthers signing a new QB

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's true. I did actually mean the FO but that's a fair point.

      A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.

      Bills predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      If you only factor passing, there is a VERY mild argument Dalton is more efficient but it's ignoring the threat Cam was as a big play literally every snap. With his feet OR through the air. Dalton was never that type of player. I would say Dalton over 200 is a very safe bet.
