Yes indeed and yet we have higher thought. Compare dogs with whales much? They're both mammals...

In nature an "Alpha Male" gets to mate with the most females.

"Marriage" and "morals" are social constructs made by people which is why they are not always followed...they are not natural.

Yikes...When do we start quoting the Second Discourse?

If we're getting into a debate on human nature...I'll take anything Jacques Rousseau didn't say.

I guess we'll see but if his last absense (for reasons lacking contraversy) is any indication......

But no one watches golf without Tiger so it shouldn't be close.

I don't know. I think much of our feelings towards sex and intimacy are socially-constructed and artifically manufactured by theology. Without these things, I think most people would be more sexually active with multiple partners. Health and pregnancy issues aside, I don't personally see anything that is morally wrong with the idea of it. All that being said, I'm not someone who would be comfortable with my partner sleeping around; and I think that probably reverts back to either a basic territorial instinct, or one that's been conditioned and cultured by society.

My guess would be that the ratings are low, but that the average salary of the few who do watch is high enough to make the advertising revenue respectable.

So people that only watch Flames games are only Flames fans? Not NHL fans or even hockey fans?

Give me a break. There are certain teams and players that draw more viewers. If we watch other games/tournaments because of these players, that makes us less of a fan of the sport?

If he just focuses on golf, comes back and wins a few tournaments, and doesn't answer questions about any of this, it will all go away.

See: Kobe Bryant

Tiger should embrace his new incarnation and become the bad boy of golf. Hire a different skank every tourney to be his caddy, and still knock off some majors. The PGA will hate it, but the ratings will go through the roof, so they'll begrudgingly accept it, a la Happy Gilmore.
He can have the skank wear a bikini, so nobody will notice her bluetooth and nipple cams that his real caddy is relaying info over.
Every time he sinks a putt, instead of a fist pump, he can to a pelvis pump, followed by a nice ass smack on his "caddy".

She's right in my case. I hate golf, and golf hates me.

I'm glad so many play/watch golf. It keeps people off my fly-fishing streams.

Alleged e-mails from Tiger to that Rachel chick...

• Tough-guy Tiger crumbled inside for Rachel! “Never thought I would care and be as emotional as I am with you. You bring a side of me I never thought existed both good and bad. I don’t like feeling so vulnerable. It bothers me a lot. I’m much tougher than this.”
• Tiger spilled his inner conflict over Rachel’s other alleged celebrity hook-ups! “I am so confused because what my brain is saying and what my heart is saying are two different things. … Is it the Rachel I know or the character? It guts me to think I’ve fallen for the wrong one.”
• Tiger begged Rachel to come down to Australia on Nov. 12 to be with him after an alleged fight. “I need you here! Just pack and get organized. Sorry if I hurt you. … Get yourself together and get on the flight. We can fight down here and have make-up sex.”

Do you watch all hockey games, even if Calgary isn't playing? I have a couple of golfers I like to watch and if they are not playing, I usually don't watch.

Is this the same Rachel that so strongly denied everything at first?

"And its horrible to Tiger's family. His wife must feel horrible. The worst part of it, it's not true".

When did pimps/madams get re-named night-club promoters?

People, they ain't no good.

That's your opinion. I'm sure there are things you and millions of other people are interested in that would put me to sleep.

And yes they actually have on course reporters, hence the whispering. If you don't know anything about the sport that is fine, but saying it boring or not a sport when you know nothing about it is another thing.

I know something about it, and I think it is boring, and not a sport. [there's a whole other thread about that http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...sport+athletic]

The question was given serious analysis in a study conducted in 2004 by ESPN.com, and, for golf lovers, the process resulted in an unflattering answer. A panel of experts which included sports scientists from the U.S. Olympic Committee, academics who study the science of muscles and movement, sports journalists and former pro baseball and football player Brian Jordan was polled to identify the most demanding of 60 sports. Various activities were graded on 10 components of athleticism: endurance, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, nerve, durability, hand-eye coordination and analytic aptitude. Boxing ranked first, followed by hockey, football and basketball. Golf ranked -- take a deep breath -- 51st out of the 60 sports, just behind table tennis and horse racing. It did, however, place just ahead of cheerleading and roller-skating, with fishing finishing last. Those poor fish have no one to defend them. We do.

Uchitel sounds like if she was in the same room as the girls who dropped that story, they would be leaving with her high heels up their butts.

Seniors and fat guys can compete on the same level. Not sure any other sport can claim that? Maybe WWF? Glad TSN got rid of that crap also.
