Rick Reilly's Passionate 180-Degree Turn on Tiger Woods
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsRick Reilly was quite impressed by Tiger Woods' Mr. Roboto breakdance earlier today, and he's consequently (and appropriately) being lambasted on Twitter for his reaction.But what, you ask, did Reilly say outrage the proletariat? Well, that's why we have the moving pictures below. More importantly, perhaps: the way in which Reilly so quickly conceded how awesome Tiger's reading was ("sincere," "totally impressed," and "heartfelt" are all used) when just a few months ago, as Chris McKendry mentions early in the interview, Reilly gave Woods a step-by-step guide to how to reset his public image. ...
Tiger Woods to Brit Hume: Buddha is Just Alright With Me
By David Gibson - Politics DailyTiger Woods received both acclaim and criticism for his choreographed statement of remorse Friday, with the critiques centering on his refusal to allow any questions from the media. But one thing that the world's top golfer certainly cleared up was the question of his religious faith -- and whether he would be taking the controversial advice of Fox News' Brit Hume and converting to Christianity in order to become a better person. "I recognize I have brought this on myself, and I know, above all, I am the one who needs to change," Woods told the carefully screened audience of friends, family ...
Brit Hume, Tiger Woods and Why the Powerful Behave Badly
By Jeffrey Weiss - Politics DailyNothing that Brit Hume said in his long and distinguished career as a newsman has come close to stirring up as much response as his recent evaluation of the religious needs of Tiger Woods. In case you missed it, Hume, in his newer role of Fox News analyst, offered some advice to the multiple philanderer Tiger Woods: "He's said to be a Buddhist; I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.' ...

Brit Hume, 'Daily Show', Tiger Woods and Buddhism Experts
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsOn Sunday, Fox News' Brit Hume suggested Tiger Woods needed Jesus in his life because Buddha just wasn't cutting it. The Daily Show convened its panel of theological experts on Monday's show, which may or may not have had something to do with Hume defending his comments a day later. On Bill O'Reilly's fair and balanced television program. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c The Temple of Hume www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full ...
'Daily Show' Theological Team Weighs in on Tiger Woods
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsLast weekend, Fox News' Brit Hume offered Tiger Woods some advice: drop Buddhism, turn to Christianity and avoid eternal damnation. A bit much maybe, but, hey, the man has strong convictions. Points for that, I guess. So too does The Daily Show. Host Jon Stewart and his panel of religious experts gave the topic the fair and balanced treatment it deserved on Monday's telecast. "But the question is" Mr. Stewart poses, "Is Mr. Hume's assertion that Christianity is more redemptive than Buddhism -- and the implication being all other religions -- is an appropriate comment. For answers, we go to ...
Maybe Brit Hume Should Preach Buddhism . . .
By David Gibson - Politics Daily...And maybe Tiger Woods, who has described himself as a Buddhist, should become a bit more observant. As everyone knows by now, Brit Hume, the Fox News analyst, used last Sunday morning's talk show to advise the serially adulterous golfer "to turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." And as we wrote here, Hume made his pitch in part by comparing Buddhism unfavorably with Christianity -- a characterization that was disputed by many Buddhists, and one that I also took issue with by noting data showing that Christians don't seem to be ...
Game On: Tiger Gets Boost From a Big Sponsor
By David Knowles - AOL News(Jan. 5) -- In the wake of revelations about his personal life, Tiger Woods has lost corporate sponsors, friends and fans. But not everyone has abandoned the golfing prodigy. EA Sports announced today that it will release a new video game this month titled Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. As the company's president, Peter Moore, told The Associated Press, the reason EA Sports remains bullish on Woods is that he is "still one of the greatest athletes in history." EA Sports has also made an estimated $670 million from Woods-related games, the AP reported. Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair/AP Tiger ...
Brit Hume Stands by Call for Tiger Woods to Convert to Christianity
By David Sessions - Politics DailyBrit Hume drew quite a bit of criticism when he suggested on "Fox News Sunday" that Tiger Woods' Buddhist faith is insufficient to deal with the golfer's personal problems and that he should convert to Christianity as a path to "forgiveness and redemption." (Analysis by Politics Daily's David Gibson here.) On Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday night, Hume denied that he was proselytizing, but said he did indeed mean to say that Woods should embrace the Christian faith. According to Politico's Michael Calderone, Hume reiterated his belief that "Jesus Christ offers Tiger Woods something that ...
Brit Hume: Tiger Woods Should 'Turn to the Christian Faith'
By not in system - AOL News(Jan 4.) -- On "Fox News Sunday" yesterday, Fox anchor Brit Hume suggested that Tiger Woods should trade his Buddhist faith for Christianity if he wants to make a personal comback. When host Chris Wallace asked the show's roundtable to predict the biggest sports story of 2010, Hume said: ...
