A Tiger in the Bedroom?

So I basically can’t read or watch anything without hearing about the “tragedy” of Tiger Woods. But I have to be honest, I feel kind of sorry for the guy. I mean, all these years, he’s been a relatively quiet celebrity hardly saying anything over the years, and when he DID speak, it pertained to his game.

Now, all of the sudden, he’s a victim of public scrutiny. It’s kind of weird… but maybe that’s just the point. Perhaps it’s BECAUSE of his usual low-key behavior is why this is such a media circus. “Look at Tiger,” they say. “Who woulda thunk it?”

But you have to admit that Tiger is no Edward Cullen. He’s a mere Mike Newton… if anything. So how does an average, quiet family man hide a secret life of sleaze and scandal?

There are two possibilities. The first (and most obvious one) is the fame (or money). Tiger likely has no “game” whatsoever, but his face is recognizable almost anywhere. (Especially when he’s wearing a black Nike hat.) One look into those famous eyes, and you can see dollar signs!

The second (and probably more disturbing) possibility is that Tiger lives up to his name… and his game cannot be tamed! Like Shakira says…

“There’s a tiger in the closet… let him out so he can cheat!”
