Has an Athlete fallen quicker than Tiger Woods?

Golf is so, so mental... right now he's screwed up in the head. Tiger was never great off the tee or even from the fairway for that matter... he's always been a bit wild. It's just that he used to be able to chip and putt his way out of things... now he can't.

He was arguably the greatest putter of the ball ever... that's gone for now.

I'm so sick of hearing about Tiger Woods and hearing reporters ask him about his "image." How many times does he have to say "I'm spending time with my kids and I'm not going to talk about my personal matters" before people start to STFU.

Everyone used to want to talk about his golf game, now all anyone wants to talk about is his private life. He's taken enough of a hit for it and people need to just drop it.

I was embarassed for him when it happened, thought he owed his fans, the people who have invested money in him and his products an apology/explanation. He gave that, no matter how poorly executed it may have been. But it's tough. He tried... now let the man play some golf.

But no, I can't think of an athlete in recent memory who fell quite as hard and fast as Tiger.

But that's the whole point isn't it? People say "just let him play golf..." and that's what he's doing... there was a whole segment on him this morning on SportCenter, and all they talked about was how poorly he is playing... not his personal life, but in all honesty, what has caused this poor play? It ain't people and the media talking about him... it's his mental state right now, which obviously is directly linked to his personal problems.

Right but I mean even when he was at St. Andrews you heard the media asking if they were going to see a "changed Tiger" and wondering what it would take for Tiger to regain his image. I think, honestly, he'd recover quicker if that wasn't all everyone wanted to talk about. From my standpoint, he's done about all he needed to do publicly and whatever is going on between him and his family at this point should be reserved for grocery store check-out line magazines.

Certainly not in a press event at a Major in the birthplace of golf. Some of the media at these tournaments are becoming paparazzi-ish in their constant digging for things he's openly said were private matters.

He said in an interview 2 days ago I think that he wasn't practicing as much, and "[he] shouldn't" because he's spending time with his kids and that's what is most important to him.

I guess another part of it was this unrealistic expectation that he would come back playing like the number 1 golf player in the world.

I honestly don't like them talking about him constantly but not because I think they're invading his privacy or whatever, but because he's just one of the many golfers out there... I've made it no secret that I've never cared for Tiger and that's a big part of it, his "image" that the media has always so played up...

Yeah, he's arguably the greatest golfer ever, but he's far from the best role model and person that's played pro golf. There are so many other guys (Phil, Tom Watson, Anthony Kim, among others) that are SO much more interesting than Tiger.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
