    If he dumps Foley and begs Butch back, he will be back.

    Until then, he won't win til 2012.

    Aw, that's an old one. Paul Harvey used it about Jack Nicklaus when Jack shot an 83 in the 1981 British Open. Only his ended, "Now I do."

    Exactly what Lee Trevino said during some interviews at the Champions Tour event earlier this week.

    In that case, been nice knowin' ya', Eldrick. From what I've gathered from a couple of my golf writer friends, Tiger is many things, humble not being one of them. This is a guy who dumped his first blonde bombshell girlfriend and Fluff Cowan because they had the nerve to grant interviews.

    I love you guys dearly, but it's so typical of men to see this as a knee problem.

    I heard a story about him recently, and I don't want to repeat it because it's forth-hand gossip. It has nothing to do with golf, really, and nothing to do with women. But the story was surprising to me because the gist of it was that he's lost his nerve.

    Earl fucked him up and fucked him up good. If you want to know how to raise a child, look up what Earl did, and do the opposite. Google "narcissistic personality disorder." We know from his actions that Tiger's narcissistic, but how did he get that way? When a child is valued not for who he is-- unconditionally-- but only for his accomplishments-- a narcissist is created. Break through the brittle veneer of cockiness, and what you have is a very fragile, frail person. And that's what he is right now.

    I think it's going to take a lot of intensive therapy to build him up, but I'm not sure he realizes he needs it.

    It sure didn't seem like Tiger was fucked up in the head when he was winning tournament after tournament in previous years.

    I wish. It would do Tiger a world of good to go down to Trevino's place in Texas for a week. Talk with Trevino. Get his head screwed back on.

    It would amaze you how many players Trevino has given advice to; Not necessarily doing with golf.

    You should be sentenced to a week with Ron Franklin for writing that.

    A narcissistic athlete? Say it isn't so!
