This guy would've done a better job with the Tiger Woods interviews than the two knuckleheads that were hand-picked.
Let's bring out the new and improved Tiger Woods...
Or not.
Tiger has become so humbled that he was wiling to give up a full 5 minutes of his time.
In fact, he even personally selected his friend from the golf channel along and also a feckless dweeb from ESPN . They were obliged to do with their questions what many of mistresses did to him.
Tiger did have to take a big leap to television; he could have simply texted his answers to the interview. We all know that he has proven to be quite the wordsmith in that medium.
Good for CBS news. They turned down the Tiger interview because, well, it wasn't really an interview.
Sorry Tiger. You're not THAT important. You can give up more than five minutes.
And you can't even sit down? Why were they standing? I guess Tiger always like to pick the position...
Frankly, I don't really care what he says at this point.
We all know the drill.
Publicly, he's clean-cut and precise. Privately, he's what Rick James would call a superfreak.
The two aren't mutally exclusive.
He's the world's greatest golfer *AND* he likes to send freaky text messages to porn stars.
The only reason this story bothered me, is because what the hell happened to sports journalism? Here you have an interview with one of the most intriguing athletes in the world, and these are the questions you ask him?
At moments like that, I tend to think back to one of my heroes - Howard Cosell. How differently would that interview have gone if he were holding the mic? Too often the term "sports journalist" has become an oxymoron. It's a shame: that was an opportunity lost.
