Yep, what started out as a mere Nussie Hunter segment on this very Web site has now become the top story. Tiger Woods, the beloved man who is on pace to become statistically the greatest golfer of all time, has tarnished his clean image and admitted to cheating on his wife Elin Nordigren.
I'm assuming you've all heard the voice mail and seen the sexts so I'm not going to get into that. But I had a bit of a discussion with a good friend of mine today and I feel the need to go over this matter.
First, this friend asked me, why are we upset with Tiger and making him come clean on all this? Well, let's be real here. He is a celebrity and is held to a higher standard. Especially one of his stature who painted such a clean and righteous image. Had he played a bit of a player or baller image we wouldn't be up in arms.
And let's be real here, yes it is a very personal matter. I could care less what is happening with his personal life. Sure, it's cool to know of his wife and his two children (as young as nine months), but I could care less of his personal life. I think the reason this has grown legs with the mainstream media is because the accident was reported and when he wouldn't talk to the police, everyone wondered what happened and how he could wreck his car outside of his house.
Second, I said the other day, he needed to come clean on some level and he now has. The media was going to run with this after he denied initially just to find something to tarnish his image. It's like a bit of a witch hunt just like my fellow media brethren have in regards to Barry Bonds. If you deny and there is speculation, there is going to be some media outlet that can make big bank on proving the contrary and that is what US Weekly and the National Enquirer have been doing.
Yeah, it's not right. If it were you or, heaven forbid, me I wouldn't want it plastered all across the front and back pages of the nation's best papers and talked about at nausea on not only sports talk radio, but mainstream news outlets like CNN and Fox News.
Can we get off his back and let him live his life? Yeah, don't be disappointed in him. He is human and just another guy (as bad as that sounds for me). What different is he, given the temptations that present themselves being a billionaire and the best golfer on the planet.
Alright, after that I need to get into some lighter content. Yesterday I talked about the NFL MVP race and have not yet talked about the Heisman Trophy race. Was talking about it the other day and the guy who might end up getting in the running is Toby Gerhart of Stanford. This dude is a load and can run guys over. Take a look at this!
Found this next Bears video on SI.com's Hot Clicks today. Now sure it rips my man Jay Cutler, but I'm equal time and will let the other side make their case today. Take a look. It is to the tune of La Bamba which turns out pretty good.
I can't embed this next item on the page, but I'm telling you, this will be worth it. I showed you the College Humor half court shot a while back and the boys are at it again. This time it's a skydiving prank. And this one is great. Check it here and you can watch all of the past ones, too. Too funny!
And finally, this is one thing I know people will yell at me for, but I know I'm a big Facebook and Twitter guy. But when I saw this, I had to add it to the "I'LL NEVER DO THIS" List. Just watch!
Alright, we're finally to the Nussie Hunter portion of the show and today going to throw a bit of a different Nussie at you. And she's actually a local girl that I found on a big time site. Was combing around Maxim.com and I found this. Check out CampusGirls.com and Megan, who goes to UW-M and is from Racine.
