Watch Coke pick him up as soon as he wins his first major.

All this because Tiger was sleeping around? If he was living in Asia, no once would care about this.

Indeed Madoka, reminds me of the Stereophonics song "lying in the sun"....

What did I ever do to deserve this? Did I kill a child or something worse? Same things as anyone, Same things as anyone....

If Woods was a football/basketball player, he would be praised.

But just think of how many ways Gatorade could use Tiger, such as "When you work up a sweat, you need Gatorade" (I'll leave the imagery to your imagination", or even something as risque as "Gatorade - the G spot".

I think they dumped him not because of the affairs... it was the weird apology session with 'friends' he did on TV that freaked everyone out more!

Yeah, that Tiger Woods apology was really weird. He seemed so robotic and his apology and hug with his mom felt so rehearsed. Here are some reactions to his apology. Some support him, while others respect him even less after this press conference:

I especially like the comment: "We can encourage kids to emulate Tiger for the way he plays, but not emulate the way he lives."

I totally agree.

flammerwerfer - Your use of cheesy lyrics is as bad as your imagination. Most married men sleep around with 20 different skanks? while wifey is preggers? Listen to more Aerosmith; "Dream on"

Most married men sleep around with 20 different skanks?

Not most married - but high profile sportsmen: Kobe, Beckham, Ichiro, A-Rod etc etc scores of them who have played around. I wasnt comparing Tiger to the average Joe six pack, but his fellow sports stars, hyper competitive men who couldnt resist the temptation of all the chicks they could easily get. Whether they slept with one or 20, does the number matter? One or two is Ok? For the other guys who played around they havent been crucified to the same extent as Tiger, but I guess they arent as high up the ziggurat as Tiger. I guess, the bigger they are the harder they fall.

**Gatorade drops Tiger Woods **

I'd like to see Gatorade drop their ridiculous "G" ad line while they're at it.
