Tiger

So Tiger addressed the nation last Friday. You wanted to watch but you didn't want to watch. He looked uncomfortable and the whole event was so staged it wasn't funny. He didn't make many of his fellow golfers happy holding his conference on the Friday of the Accenture Match Play event. His mom was there but his wife was not. I wonder if she even watched the event. He showed the most emotion when denying his wife hit him with a golf club and when he spoke about allegations he uses steroids. Everything else was very robotic.

Look here's the deal-He's a guy with international fame and a lot of money. That attracts women. It will continue to attract women. I don't think going to a sex rehab clinic is the answer. Sure there are problems in the marriage, obviously, but he is not a sex addict, in my opinion. You can question his integrity and character, but if you want a better idea of what a sex addict it, go to Youtube and watch some shows from MTV called Celebrity Sex Rehab. Listen to some of the celebrities talk about their challenges with sex. It's not the same.

Final thought. Tiger was given bad advice. He should have sat down, and said, "Guys, I'm here for an hour-ask any question you want. At the end of the hour we are done and it will not be discussed again. " The world changes so fast he would have been back page news 72 hours afterwards. Instead he leaves us with more questions than answers, and as allegations continue to come forward about his after hours activities, and he remains silent on specifics, many people figure its the truth since he is not challenging it. And if you are his wife, why go back to him? Nothing is going to change. The temptation will remain. The questions is, can Tiger say no?

Musings

I like Fridays, but not for the reasons you think. I actually like Thursdays because at least in my building there is an energy you can feel as we get ready for the weekend. On Fridays everybody walks around here with a little more jump in their step. Of course we have a saying here at Citadel Radio and KVOR that we use every Friday. It is, "See ya tomorrow." (It means we are always working-which is a good thing these days.)

I lived in Denver for a while and I now understand why some Denverties look down their nose at the Springs, especially now, with a city that can't afford to keep all the street lights on, a town that can't water its parks, or keep bathrooms open. And we are going to try and convince companies to come to the city and bring jobs? Those of you that voted down a tax increase have no clue. But of course you will start screaming when they turn the street lights off in front of your house. This has nothing to do with quality of life. Its about basic services a city provides, and many of you let many of us down. Hope you're happy. You want services but expect someone else, or no one, to pay for them. You should be ashamed. Small town, small minds. You know who you are. This is a good city with the potential for greatness. If we all give a little, we all get a lot. Our cost of living is low to begin with. Hopefully soon those of us with more common sense and bigger dreams will begin to speak for the majority.
