No one tells Tiger what to do

The ones Feinstein noted in the excerpt: blowing off the Buick Classic (and the dinner honoring him) after they gave him a sponsor's exemption right after he turned pro, and the declining of the invitation by Clinton to the Jackie Robinson thing after winning the Masters in '97.

Those may not qualify as "professional", but that's what I was referencing.

But like Feinstein, Tiger has no obligation to live up to my standard of right or wrong decisions, either.

 

He is banned from ESPN.

Bob Knight once complained, "How come every time I do something, people run to get a reaction from a reporter who I haven't spoken one word to in over a decade?"

 

Some people always seem to need a variety of crises to juggle each day, and some writers always want to have personal feuds to manage. It addresses their feelings of insecurity and the need for control, but it makes it difficult for anyone around them. If this is how Feinstein deals with professional athletes, imagine how he addresses people such as waitresses and hotel clerks.

 

Props to Feinstein. He didn't misspell a single name in that excerpt.
