Here an American fellow won a gold medal in figure skating, and Tiger Woods and his indescretions knocked him off the map.

The whole thing was incredible, and their moment of glory was stolen from them by Tiger Woods. Argh.<br /><br />Djan, but his timing was awful.

Yes, he's wrong on so many levels, but I do believe that old saw about "absolute power corrupts absolutely."

He is a great golfer.<br /><br />It is amazing he can be so incredibily disciplined with respect to his sport but have absolutely no discipline in his personal life.<br /><br />That is quite a dichotomy. But for me it does not matter as I watch very little golf and I have no interest in Tiger's personal life. <br /><br />It's all very sad, though, isn't it?

He has come so far since then! Jonny Weir (my favorite) also did really well last night. <br /><br />I'm just glad Alexander didn't win because while he's jumps are great I don't think he has ever really gotten the idea of skating as an art as well as a sport.<br /><br />I love the quote from Adam, "Its not a jumping competition.

Well, at least they...Bug, that's insane...! Well, at least they're not writing about the horrible, ghastly, warm (!!!) weather here. *heh* We have magnolias, Japanese plum, cherry trees and roses blooming. Egads!<br /><br />Alane, the golf press boycotted it? Yay! I think he lives in another stratosphere now, and doesn't realize that he is not even relevant anymore. Rather, he is the butt of late-night talk show jokes. He once started as a young athlete, just like these young athletes at the Olympics, and I cannot believe the arrogance of him holding a press conference during their "day in the sun".<br /><br />Rebecca, <em>"I'd love to bottle up his talent and give it to someone who deserves it."</em> Yes! And, yes, the American athletes are doing a fabulous job. (The Canadians aren't too shabby either. *heh*)<br /><br />Burcu, that's a hoot...! Well, I didn't have an affair with him, and I don't think you did, so those are two less numbers. *heh*<br /><br />Duta, well, almost everyone in America and Canada too is from "somewhere else". The Australian gold-medalist was from Canada, believe it or not. :-<br /><br />Sparkle, I KNOW...! Whatever happened to personal responsibility??? People can do almost anything nowadays, and there is a rehab for it. Tiger got caught with his pants down -- literally -- and now he's pretending his an addict? Puhleeze!!! He's a cad and a creep, and he had such a lovely, sweet wife. What was he thinking??? And, it was a close competition, but the American fellow was just a teeny tiny bit better at the final outcome.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-49014736955839785262010-02-19T09:12:09.463-08:002010-02-19T09:12:09.463-08:00I just watched Tiger Woods center staging it on TV...I just watched Tiger Woods center staging it on TV. Granted, his twelve-step program insists he's got to out-loud his apologies, but while he's apologizing for his indiscretions and self-imposed entitlement, I don’t think Bill W., or Dr. Drew, or whoever is in charge of his “treatment” plan, would encourage the use of universal (to include all planets in our solar system and beyond) air time to do so, <i>especially</i>, like you said, “holding a press conference during a major sporting event where the eyes of the world are on the young athletes of the world.” That’s just self-entitlement in action AGAIN. Man, I feel for his wife. Thank God, she wasn’t placed in the front row.<br /><br />And another thing, while we’re at it: Rehab. Rehab. Rehab. That word makes me tired. It seems to be the only answer to EVERYTHING, these days. The guy had it all and let his penis rule his world, for crying out loud. A welding kit for pants zippers seems would have made for an easier, less expensive "Rx" choice.<br /><br />As for last night’s figure skating outcome: I was quite disappointed. I was rooting for Evgeni Plushenko. For a looksee at my “ranty”, insert http://sparkle-soup.blogspot.com/2010/02/frosting-on-wrong-cake.html to link to ”Frosting the Wrong Cake”. (<-- I can't seem to enable a direct "click" link.) I hope I don’t sound too Tiger Woodsy when I say, I’m sorry.
