life-long chicagoan. never left cook county. too scared.
Great times for Tiger Woods. He's named the AP Athlete of the Decade while his wife apparently is ready to divorce him.
Tragedy is relative. He drove into a fire hydrant. He didn't fall off the back of a pickup truck after a fight with his wife and die.
Now we-won't-be-fooled-again journalists don't want to be accused of just having fallen off a turnip truck, so we're going to be out front on the performance enhancing drug watch of Tiger.
Rick Telander has a great line in the Bright One today:
"Forget the infidelity. Forget the voice mails, the e-mails, the texts, the trysts, the collagen-loaded, eerily Elin-resembling conga line of stiletto-heeled bimbos clicking off to cash their I-screwed-Tiger checks."
Remember the Actovegin (calf's blood). And human growth hormone. Possibly courtesy of Dr. Anthony Galea, who is supposed to be charged tomorrow in Canada for possession of illegal drugs. Galea treated Tiger earlier this year with a mystical therapy called "blood spinning." The blood is put in a centrifuge and reinjected into the joints to expedite healing. That part doesn't sound illegal. Just sounds like a late night infomercial for "The Juicer." But was Galea also helping Tiger to juice?
There is no evidence of that. Yet. And we probably won't get any unless it turns out that Tiger was not only pulling his Max Bialystock of "The Producers" act on Elin but also was twelve-timing his physician. "Hey, this doesn't look like a needle mark from me! I'm going to sell my Tiger juicing story to the Enquirer."
Tiger sure looks like he juices. Johnny Miller this year said Tiger was working out too much, and Miller said he didn't think all that muscle helped his game. Maybe Tiger does it to impress the chicks.
Also, if the treatment this year by Dr. Galea involved something illegal, said treatment didn't help him win anything important this year. He went major-less this year. Nobody would have cared if Barry Bonds had merely hit 73 doubles that great season.
And even if drugs could somehow give Tiger a few extra yards that he doesn't need off the tee, there's no way the drugs help with his putting.
Tiger also encouraged drug testing on the tour.
We'd better be careful about this. You don't have to be the Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman to be accused of "lynching" Tiger. Remember that? Ah, the good old days when Tiger had the high moral ground.
Next thing you know we'll be going back through all the tapes to see if Tiger ever used a foot wedge.

Oh I for sure think Tiger is or was juicing. Hes like Sammy Sosa,noticeably a LOT bigger. Theres no way he is chasing all that tail,playing tournaments, and still having time to hit the gym and get enough work in to look like that.
