Oh the rumor mills could go crazy on this one too...
ha ha
Now let's sit back and wait for all the natural born Aryan brotherhood residents to chime in on this one.
(hope she gets better though)
The reason why the media loves these stories is so often the PR people representing the star fallen from grace do such a poor job of damage control making the whole situation worse.
Tiger needs to bring levity to the situation and now. A well written script where he hosts Saturday Night Live addressing the issue could be one solution.
He is an athletic superstar. This was always probably a question of when and not if as it if for most people in his position.
It is interesting to see how the wheels in motion are playing out....Tiger can still salvage most everything...I don't think he is relegated to pitching his "Tiger Driver Series" a 10" strap on and female pleasure device quite yet...although there are probably a adult toy companies waiting in the wings ;-)
May Allah gives happiness unity to all of us and bring peace to this world (Ameen)
"May Allah gives happiness unity to all of us and bring peace to this world"
Afraid the only peace Elin and Barbro are looking, for is a piece of Tiger's hide.
good bye elin hello all the beautiful women in the world?
lets hope it doesnt affect him on the course and he gets back to winning those last 5 majors. men like him are not put on this earth to be parents and family men, they are put on this earth to be winners.
good luck tiger!
I feel sorry for the little kids!
Very mixed kids too so they're bound to develop identity problems as they get older.
A vicious circle has been created.
You think your driver is better than Tigers?
Looking at some pictures of her in the tabloids, she looks quite scary. This is Elin in 28 years... Run, Tiger, Run!!!!!!
and an ambulance rushed complete with IV fluids and all for food poisoning??
If Barbro was in a socialist country, after eating a tainted sausage, The other person in the line would have said:
Oh, that's food poisoning, take Kaopectate, drink a lot of fluids and call us in a few days, if things don't improved.
