The only problem with logic is, you can't seem to follow it. All the things everyone says about Tiger being a great upstanding individual that anyone should strive to be like, comes from his golfing ability.
The reasons we bring up JL, or David Toms, or Rory, or anyone and everyone who happens to have a foundation is, that we don't hear about those do we? No one rolls around telling us how we should strive to be like JL. Or that we shouldn't question David Toms' integrity or honesty. Tiger is just like a million other individuals in everything but golf. He has a foundation? Big deal, so do a lot of Tour pros, so do a lot of average Joe's. You've probably donated a portion of your earnings to charity, you just don't swing a golf club like Eldrick. Everything that we hear beyond his golf game is directly derived from the fact he's great at it, nothing more, nothing less. If he had the abilities of Jason Gore, we wouldn't hear jack all about TWF and no one would be shaming us for thinking he is embellishing an injury.

No it's not. And even if it is? Who cares? Honest people fake injury and a lot of people who have had injuries limp even when they don't know they are. They wince because they have been for a month.

Well, he told us he was fine, fully recovered, no problems, just may be rusty because he hasn't played. Turned out he isn't fine, he is hurt, he has a knee injury and another injury he said he didn't have. That certainly wasn't the truth now was it?

You called me stupid as much as I called Tiger a liar.

If the truth is disingenuous, then bury me beneath myself. He told us he was fine, anyone who questioned that was calling him a liar as much as I, Retief, or anyone who was saying he was embellishing his injuries was.
