    First, the reports about his wife considering taking him back, now this.

    And, Golf Digest had better access than the White House press corp.
     
  3. I also read he was "serious" with Lindsay Vonn. So?????

    I vote no.

    Maybe if Woods gets a pardon, he'll start winning majors again

    If I were Obama out on that golf course, at some point I would have asked Tiger if he is tapping Vonn. Then high five him.

    As much as I've always hated Woods, he's more than "served his time" for his past transgressions...

    I am fascinated by which athletes are able to make this kind of comeback, from an image standpoint... Kobe did it... Ray Lewis did it (somewhat).

    I also think given what two former sports heroes have done recently, people might be a little more likely to forgive Woods...

    Yeah, the New York Times piece today subtly whined about it, oh, about three or four times. Pretty funny.

    Elin to Vonn is a serious drop in talent but an upgrade over most of the scandal girls.

    You think? I find Vonn more attractive by far.

    They're both sixes... :D

    Seriously, could you go wrong with either?

    If I had to choose, I'd go with Vonn. Being a world-class athlete doesn't hurt...

    Crazy thinking about the respective "falls" of Marion Jones, Teo, Clemens, Bonds, Armstrong, JoePa, Pistorius...Woods comes off quite well. Amazing that we were trashing LeBron a couple years ago just for ditching Cleveland.

    I thought the Tiger Woods "fall" was way overblown when it happened.

    SPORTS STAR GETS DIVORCED!

    Stop the fucking presses.
