I agree. I always thought he was a prick. I’ve never seen him being nice to fans, unless it was a pretty woman.

He’s abusive to the cornholes of IHOP waitresses too - he is not someone to look up to…

I don't think any of these prodigy types with obsessive parents/coaches ever turn out completely normal, whether it's sports, music, chess, etc.

Yeah, you might squeeze every last ounce of juice from their natural talent, but it's going to come at the expense of normal socialization and personality development.

That's also why society is going to pay a heavy price for the stupid Covid lockdowns and all of the overly protective nanny heretics. Our brains develop intelligence, language, behavior and personality traits according to a predetermined schedule. You can't just hit the pause button on that because you want to throw an epic political temper tantrum. Once the brain closes those windows they remain relatively shut. We are already seeing the terrible effects of this in children and it's only going to get worse.

You talking about when he ignored Tony Finau during the final round of the 2019 Masters? He was trying to win the golf tournament

Tony Finau isn't black. It would be more accurate to say "he's a dick to other Asian golfers".

I always got the impression he got along with most of the other golfers. What the frick are you babbling about?

My former employer sponsored a PGA event for about ten years and I had multiple opportunities to chat with players and caddies. It was unanimous that players and caddies like and respect Woods and get along with him. The one player they all hate is Phil Mickelson.

If you stole or bunted on Nolan Ryan, the next time up at bat you were taking 100mph projectile in the ribs.

Speaking of Netflix documentaries, Facing Nolan is awesome. Buck Showalter talks about right after he took over the Rangers Nolan is pitching and struggling. He gets a guy up in the pen and Nolan is just fuming. He sends his bench coach out to talk to Nolan.

Coach asks him “How ya doing Nolan?”

Nolan replies “Better than any of that horseshite you got throwing in the pen right now. Get the frick off my mound.”

Nolan did not leave the game that day.

Most of them know & appreciate what Tiger has done as far as the significant increases in dollars they are playing for. Phil, on the other hand is only concerned about one person. You don't need three guesses as to who that is.

You been under a rock?

He’s legit friends with many PGA players

Early career Tiger, I'd agree with this. He was laser focused on himself and what he was doing. Most players respected that, but the problem, quite frankly, was Earl. Earl basically forbade him for being friendly with other tour players because he thought it made Tiger soft.

Once Earl passed, Tiger got older and became a dad, I think you saw the hard edges start to soften a bit. The Tiger of today is not the same Tiger of 1999-2002.
