Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!This column comes the day after Tucker Carlson said Mike Vick should have been executed for his treatment of dogs and the Sugar Bowl CEO admitted he lobbied Ohio State to keep its players eligible to "protect the integrity" of the game. Protect the integrity of the bowl game at the expense of a university and NCAA integrity? Makes perfect sense in the Alice in Wonderland through the looking glass world of college football. Execute someone for a low end felony? Equally absurd rationale. Both of these stories serve as further evidence that 2010 represents the most absurd year in the history of ...
One year later, it is not an anniversary to celebrate. Nevertheless, the date's significance is indisputable. At some point in the distant future, depending on how things eventually play out, it might even be considered right there beside the day the music died. Last year, in the early morning hours of Nov. 27, Tiger Woods, the world's most famous golfer, crashed his car into a fire hydrant outside his gated-community home in Orlando, Fla., and all sorts of dirty laundry came spilling out. Initially there was alarm. Television news crawls announced Woods had been involved in a traffic ...
On Nov. 27, 2009, it was reported that Tiger Woods had crashed his Escalade not far from his home in Florida. In the year since, the man who was once one of the greatest, most revered, most iconic athletes of our time has undergone tremendous upheaval. His personal, public and professional lives haven't been the same since, and won't likely be ever again. Here's a look back at a year we, and Tiger Woods, will never forget. Nov. 25, 2009 -- "The National Enquirer" publishes a story alleging Woods had been seeing New York nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel, and that she was photographed at his ...
Tiger Woods used to be one of the most highly-sought after pitchmen. That is, until the sex scandal that enveloped his personal, public and private life; after which Woods became persona non-grata to all those who used to line up to sign him to endorsement deals. But with the one-year anniversary of the car crash that started that whole drama approaching, Woods is slowly completing his PR makeover, and marketers are starting to buy it. According to agent Mark Steinberg, Woods has engaged in "several constructive conversations," and that a survey to gauge Woods' public image has yielded very ...
(Aug. 25) -- Contrary to earlier reports that suggested she would be silenced by a strict divorce settlement, Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren is roaring back into the public spotlight with a candid interview in the new issue of People magazine. You can head over to People online to read a summary of Elin's disclosures, and/or buy the issue yourself for the full story (plus "exclusive photos"!) when it comes out Friday. But most interesting to all of us here at Surge Desk is how her words are being spun by the rest of the eager online gossip circuit. According to those bloggers, the most ...
Disgraced pro-golfer Tiger Woods will pay his soon-to-be ex-wife Elin Nordegren $750 million in a record-setting divorce settlement, U.K. newspaper The Sun reports. Nordegren is expected to file for divorce in the next week. The terms of the settlement also reportedly grant Nordegren primary custody of the couple's two children, daughter Sam, 3, and son Charlie, 1. Woods also enters into an agreement not to bring any new women into the kids' lives or near them unless he has remarried. Besides the kids and the cash, Nordegren purportedly receives the family home in Windermere, Fla. (outside ...
Ah, what was all that fuss about Tiger Woods? Let's face it, the guy served five months in hell for his sins and now it's time to forgive and forget and play golf. Let the tournament begin! Here's how it went for Tiger Thursday, on his return to the game after months in exile. Teeing off in early afternoon at the opening round of the Masters at the pristine Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, he received an ovation from the crowd. Shouts and applause from the fans and absolute reverence from the media followed him through the afternoon. Oh, he played well, maybe not up to the level of ...
AUGUSTA, Ga. (April 7) -- Wherever he is coming from, Tiger Woods is here. Now what does he do? The Masters, golf's first major championship of the season, begins play Thursday and Woods, a four-time past champion, arrives as he has every year since winning in 1997 in his first appearance as a professional: the pre-tournament favorite. ...
(April 7) -- Tiger Woods may be the big thing at the Masters Tournament this week, but in rural parts of Turkey and Afghanistan, many of the locals are still more interested in camels. That's because folks from Kabul to Istanbul are big followers of the ancient sport of camel wrestling, which is as popular as the Masters or the NCAA Final Four are in America. Of course, animal rights supporters find the ancient sport deplorable. Mustafa Najafizada, AP Camels go hump-to-hump in this March 22 event in Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh province, north of Kabul, Afghanistan. Mostly a winter sport, camel ...
NEW YORK (Dec. 31) - AT&T Inc. said Thursday it would no longer sponsor Tiger Woods, joining Accenture in dropping support for the world's top golfer, who's taking a break from the sport to focus on his marriage after his admitted infidelity. The phone company hasn't used Woods' image extensively in advertising, but its logo appeared on his golf bag. That deal had been billed as a "multiyear" agreement when it was signed early in 2009, after Buick ended its endorsement one year early because of its financial woes. Woods has also been the host of the AT&T National PGA Tour event since it ...
