Tiger Woods-Scott Lagos

This was written one week ago. I was really busy this week and wanted to look at it again before I posted.

Okay. I know it's the Olympics. And I should just be focusing on the noble, pure Olympic athletes. Okay, the Olympic athletes, that haven't been sent home for playing with their bronze medal with young, innocent girls, Scott Lagos, you, perverted 22 year old! You don't pull up your shirt and you are probably still partying in BC.... that's Scott above and if any one actually read this blog, I'd probably get in trouble with TMZ for posting this pic...

I'm not sure if there was another picture too risque for TMZ to post. (I swear I'm not being sarcastic). If there was that picture then I guess Scott Lagos got unlucky, if not, and they didn't edit anything out, that's ridiculous. Obviously he is at a party or bar, there are lots of people around. I hope he didn't disrobe. He is young and the girl is obviously enjoying herself. what's wrong with that? Isn't the point of being an Olympic athlete, that you can party with hot girls (although personally I'd rate this girl around a 6, maybe 6.5; good for me, I hope an Olympic medalist could do better.) I wonder how many pictures there are of Alberto Tomba, a five time Olympic medalist, three time gold medalist (known as three and five also for another reason). Alberto bragged a normal night for him is to party till five with three women, the night before the Olympic race, he will mellow out and party only until three, but with five women....

besides, Tiger Woods apologized today, well yesterday (okay a week ago).

One complaint about Tiger Woods long awaited public apology is that it was during the Olympics and is taking away some of the spotlight from the Olympics. It seems to me that he did it to take away the spotlight from one of the sponsors that dropped him. Accenture, which hosted a major golf tournament last weekend. I think this is definitely a fair. If a sponsor dropped me, you bet, I'd screw it over every chance I got. The Olympics unfortunately happened to be at the same time.

Sometimes I feel people don't feel responsible for their behavior. If you paid attention to Tiger's apology it is because you wanted to. Notice the period at the end of that sentence. Notice how it is complete thought. Nothing else needs to go in that sentence. You might have chosen to pay attention because there was nothing better on, or because you really wanted to. If you did, you might still have watched as much tape-delayed Olympic coverage as you wanted and maybe even some live coverage (if you were lucky). If Tiger's apology made you not care about the Olympics, and that is entirely possible, there is nothing wrong with you or Tiger, as far as I am concerned. That's just the free market of interest working there.

Listen I understand if you are one of the people personally affected by Tiger's story, but I have no idea why you are reading this blog. I'm writing from my perspective. For me, Tiger's story is pure entertainment. It's a good story. It's interesting.

Here's a man, that was so successful in his career that he made a billion dollars. A billion dollars. Hitting a ball about the size of a human testicle (okay, two put together), into a hole (really a cup). You have to be really good at this thing to make a billion dollars. With this kind of success, girls seem to come easy to him or easy girls came on to him.

Although morally this may be wrong. At some point all guys fantasize about getting together with lots of women or men. For many straight guys this always remains a fantasy. It can be hard to hook up with women; especially women that aren't promiscuous. Will women actually find you attractive and be willing to put out? Some guys just don't have want it takes to get with lots of women. If lots of women want to have sex with you, generally as a guy, you don't turn them down.

So this is Tiger's tale, he married one woman and got with lots of other women. Lots of people knew about this before the story hit the public. They had kept hush hush. Being a billionaire, maybe you could do what you wanted. Finally his wife found out, and the sh-t hit the fan and golf fans. If you took a vacation to Mars, you might not know that Tiger took a hiatus from golf since Thanksgiving and has been in sexual addiction therapy for awhile now.

After months of letting the story stew without any remarks. Tiger finally issued an apology in a break from rehab. Commentators wondered whether his apology was sincere or fake. Was he really sorry for his behavior or just covering his ass. Did he feel like he let the public down or that his behavior is none of the public's business? or was he just embarrassed?

Whether his apology was sincere or not. Why limit your judgment to (his) words, tone of voice and body language. Why not just see what happens next? See what he does.

Tiger can reform. He can become a faithful family man. Or he can learn to use more discretion with his sexual conquests. Either way, I hope he gets back on the golf course and I never have to hear about his sex life again. Personally I hope he gets back with his wife and stays faithful. But if he is not happy with that, I understand. Many males aren't wired for monogamy.

As for why I am interested in his story, because I think for me, Tiger represents a generation of males. Males that would do exactly what Tiger did. Men who play video games or computer games, and swear on the golf course, and in some ways still act like they did in high school or even earlier. Men who would given the chance sleep with 14 women, even though they were married. I wonder what's going to happen to him (to us). Is Tiger and my DC roommates going to man up? or is this incident not really going to help him grow? I don't see how that can happen. That's growth, redemption is what I'm hoping to see and that's why I'm following his story.

Back to the Olympics.... So far: Bode Miller three medals, one gold. Lindsey Vonn, two medals one gold, and many good-looking bikini pics. Apollo Ono one. Scott Lagos one medal, one standby flight back to the States.

Best.
