    It's one thing to be narcissistic. It's another thing for it to rise to the level of disorder-- something clearly in the DSM. And if he is severely disordered, the ramifications are very real-- including but not limited to a complete loss of confidence, and of self, really.

    I realize I sound like Dr. Drew, but some of you see a robot on your X-Box-- If he's not functioning, it has to be a knee.

    If you think mental has nothing to do with it at all, my guess is you've never played golf.

    I'm sure some of it is mental. But he's had more injuries than just the knee.

    One question: Do you wag your finger back and forth at us while you write these things? I imagine you doing it.

    In your case, it's actually the middle finger.

    and now you know the rest of the story.

    To all those people that felt smug satisfaction when Tiger was dominating. eat sh*t and die.

    Maybe if he started banging cocktail waitresses, two at a time, he'd get his game back.

    I'm not sure that I know the history behind that last statement or that I want to know it. It is funny, though, given that many people were basically Tiger Woods press agents a few years ago, and now they are leaping over each other to criticize him.

    I think Luggie is on to something here.

    His entire routine and structure was taken away as well. I don't think you can underestimate what that provided him to be able to be the golfer he was.

    Without knowing Paul Harvey's handicap, I'm going to wager he'd never sniff 83 on a British Open track.

    And of course I mean "could" never since he's dead an all.

    I'm a reverse Tiger Woods effect: a mediocre game having its moments.

    If you have any evidence to the contrary, feel free to break the news.
