But that just happened very recently and it might not even be true. They are just investigating.

Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Joe Paterno.

These 3 guys were arguably at the top of each of their sports, and none had a history of any negativity (aside from Paterno being considered an a-hole by anyone who had the displeasure of knowing him).

Each took a HUGE fall, and showed their true colors in the process.

Ya, as if no one here would jump on the chance of capitalizing on an insider tip.

Good for Phil for trying on that one, if that's what happened. At least he's human.

Phil and his wife are well known swingers, so the typical family man image is phony.

Despite what ESPN and SI says Mike Riley is not the "nicest guy in college football". far from it, actually.

I used to not. But I had dinner with a few members of Augusta for a birthday party a few weeks ago and they swear it's true.

These guys play practice rounds with him every year so they have access.

And I don't think its close. By all accounts, he is a monstrous piece of shite IRL.

Tour players call him FIGJAM. (frick I'm Good Just Ask Me)

He's a real life version of this dude:

BwAHHAHAHA

No.

He has a circle of friends, but that dude is a gambling addict and an a-hole. I have heard that from multiple tour players in person.


ETA:

And of course people will say "but I've met him at tournaments and he's been so nice and signed autographs and everything!"

So did Shooter McGavin. Dude is a complete phony for the cameras and for the crowd/his fans.
