Tigers Woods in a car crash!

Too bad, so sad.
I'm not going to comment too much here, since Tiger Woods to me is to golf what the EPL is to football: dominated by ignorant fanboys who cram single-minded coverage down your throat like nobody else in the sport exists. :pado:

But as much as I would honestly like to see Tiger Woods die so I don't have to listen to sports reporters cream on the air over him anymore :andyandbarcelona:, the prospect of the fanboy eulogies to follow would be too great to bear.

Say, this global market dip nicely kicked in an outstanding limit order I had for some Asia Pacific index fund. Black Friday sales is right...

I'm not really a golf fan, but hey, it's only normal for me to hope someone doesn't die.

The difference between Tiger and the EPL is that Tiger probably is better than everyone else. If he died today or became so injured he could no longer play, that would probably be the opposite of the outcome you were looking for. He'd become a golf martyr.

Tiger Woods hitting a tree is reminding me of the old joke when a certain famous West Side Story Maria drowned:

Q: What kind of wood doesn't float?
A: Natalie Wood :seven:

I just want him out of my face. I didn't ask for him to be there, and I would like him to go away.

The best way for that would not be death, as I mentioned. That would make it even worse. The ideal scenario is likely an injury that allows him to continue to play, but degrades his skills enough to knock him permanently off the top of his game so that he can fade away quietly instead of burning out like a rock star overdose.

Are you one of those avid golf fans?

No. But the unilateral worship of Tiger Woods has been a deterrent, for one. There's no way I would want to follow football, for example, if the media covered Balotelli (or even CR, Messi, etc.) the way they do Tiger Woods.

I don't care enough about professional golf to be bothered by Tiger. Though I do think he's probably the best out there.

That said, I'm a fanboy of Joey Harrington's Irish cousin.:D

The guy is a fan-freaking-tastic player. There's no denial. But sheesh... who wants to follow baseball if the Yankees win every year and the coverage makes you think MLB is three teams?

Exactly. And Tiger Woods is an asscrack.

You better have a stop loss on that shit. If the dollar carry unwinds, look out.

:snoop:
