Tiger, Tiger Turning Right

I thought this poem, from a reader of The Corner, was pretty funny:

Tiger Tiger turning right
In the driveway late at night
Your immortal hand and eye
Couldn't make the car comply?

Of whose waiting shapely thighs
Did you dream with bolted eyes
Instigating you to crash
Into the stately water ash?

Was it worth a rendezvous
With some star-struck ingenue
Just to verify you could
Withstand a sliced Norwegian wood?

Tiger Tiger turning right
In the driveway late at night
What covert obsession made
You climb into the Escalade?

Too soon?

Just more proof that we really don't know ANY of these guys. We think we know how great people are, but we really don't. We honestly shouldn't be surprised about ANYONE. What about Derek Jeter? Do you think he has flat feet? He's probably just a little more protected, not necessarily smarter because Tiger is obviously smart. Then again, the man, the android with ice in his veins, who once said in an interview he’s afraid of nothing, a guy as controlling, paranoid and tactical as Eldrick…would be as sloppy with his indiscretions as he seemed to be (Jim Rome paraphrase).

More Jim Rome: "How do you not know you don’t put your girlfriend’s name in your phone? You list her under “Eddie”, or “Bill”, or “Pizza”!"


You know what Carl Lewis had to say about this last Friday...

..."Uh-Oh!"

Who are the "Untouchables?" Who are the guys we didn't think this would happen to or that we'd find out about? Well, take Tiger off the list. Is Jeter on the list? Peyton Manning? Tom Brady? Kobe Bryant...oops. LeBron James? Michael Phelps...oops again. How about President Obama. Wait, did I just say Obama? "Oh no he didn't!"

Tom Brady got Bridget Moynahan pregnant then broke up with her and married Gisele Bündchen. I'd be more surprised if we don't hear about him cheating on his wife before his career is over.

I think it's the "good guys" that surprise you. Tiger had that reputation, more or less. Kobe used to. Peyton Manning is the king of the "good guys" right now. I'm not sure LeBron quite has that reputation.

Putting your mistress's digits in your phone under her name is incredibly stupid. Or arrogant.
