Very nice post. Interesting, yet boring, encounter. @Mike Kalil, also interesting that you had such a dull encounter. It seems like everyone has some sort of Tiger story (of various degrees) and thought this post, was particularly interesting given the negative vibe: http://ifollo.com/celebritystory/1st-hand-account-tiger-woods-character.

I also found this article by ESPN to provide another interesting perspective:

I can’t believe you didn’t end the interview after his reply with “Eye of the Tiger”!

Nice. Wish you would have published this before all the infidelity crap. Would have been a nice look behind his mask.

Oh wow. You’re back! That’s great. And if you’ll permit me to enter the gold plated door once in awhile, I’ll throw out some pearls of wisdom. But three of my pearls and a dime won’t get you a cup of coffee at Imperial Palace on a slow day though.

Oh. Yeah. Tiger. I laughed at your article. That man is starting to perform the longest freefall off a towering precipice I’ve ever seen. But I do notice he is screaming silently the whole way down so far. This circus ain’t even started yet. National media is lining up to add little barbs here and there in his eventual and deserved crucifixion. And they are already yanking commercials with him in it. The way it’s going, I bet the bearded lady at Ringling Brother Barnum and Bailey Circus has a picture of his privates on her cell phone too.

I would say that the casinos in Las Vegas that have a gambling marker on him, they better get their money quick. Because the mother-in-law, the wife, the wife’s sister, the long line of mistresses and whoever else lines up to deplete his financial resources will suck him dry.

And your article don’t bode well for him neither. Because if he is THAT boring, then he ain’t even got a chance to be a color commentator that broadcasts golf tournaments.

Oh well, he ain’t got no one to blame but himself.

Same thing happened to me when I interviewed him for Tiger Jam. I was freelancing for People mag. They just wanted three or four sentences of him talking about music he liked for a tiny mention and photo in the front of the mag. Christina Aguilera was headlining that year. I don’t kid myself that the three uncomfortable minutes of me asking questions and repeatedly receiving boring, dull or non-answers can be considered journalism. Excruciating. The only time in my career that I landed the interview then had to call an editor and confess that I literally had nothing worth printing.

The comments by this James Taylor just made me do a spit take with hot coffee. Hilarity.

He said he liked “All of them”? Wasn’t that Sarah Palin’s answer when asked which newspapers she read? I suppose it could be a very useful answer. Next time I apply for a networking job and they ask me which certifications I have, I’ll be ready. It might also be an effective answer the next time someone asks Tiger which STDs he’s caught. Too bad one of his sponsors wasn’t Trojans; they might have given him some condoms to hold in all that Tiger Jam.

Such a surprise that Woods was so boring given that golf is such an exciting sport.
