Tiger Woods seriously injured in car crash

You made the claim, is it really too much for you to back it up? I don't know what his endorsements were worth before and after bonggate but you do...where'd you find this info?

I think he's full of crap. I think those sponsership deals were signed before bong gate. His deal with Mazda was in China and they were going to dump him unless he apologized to the Chinese people which he did. Subway was also considering dumping him. I know he was already signed with Hilton and Omega and speedo at the olympics. I don't think the bong helped him at all.

[parrot 789]

Whitlock has a pretty good take on Tiger and the media.

 

Tiger's real crime? Not playing the media's game

[KSB2424 3,087]

I've got to go get some work done (since I've yet to do anything today). So as a post-defeat speech I will summarize as follows:

 

I do think this was blown waaaaay out of proportion due to both untrue and true gossip fuel.

 

I do think Tiger handled it just fine. If he knew there was no DUI or domestic stuff (we have to go on that per the FHP) and it was more about his marraige I do not blame him for keeping private whatsoever. If that is the case he only owes it to his family and no one else. No matter what PR price he does or does not pay. He does not owe it to anyone else and to say so otherwise is ridiculous. Some of you folks also look pretty dumb in this thread for saying otherwise.

 

I stand by my statement that currently the line between news, editorials, and gossip is blurred. And it is a problem. No matter if it did become truth, CBS should not be using TMZ as a source. They should do their own due dilligence. Just as Fox News should not use a 'blog' as a news source.

 

I do not think this will significanly adverse any endorsments. (very short term if at all).

 

And yes I am a hypocrite who uses bad analogies and hyperbole on this bored. Who doesn't? Just trying to fit in with the rest of you homos.

 

And with that, I will bid you adieu.

[MedStudent 56]

are you serious? If I said the sun is in the sky you'd want photo proof? This is common knowledge. or maybe you

think I just made up the words 'subway' or 'mazda' from thin air. do your own googling.

 

He didn't sign Mazda or Subway after the Bonggate. Quite the contrary, he almost lost both:

Mazda Asks, and Phelps Apologizes to Chinese

 

Published: February 13, 2009

At the behest of a sponsor, Michael Phelps has recorded a video apology to the people of China, expressing his remorse over the recently published photograph showing him using a marijuana pipe. He thanked them for their support and forgiveness.

 

The 52-second video has been posted on several Web sites in China, and one major Chinese newspaper said the video had been sent directly from the Japanese auto company Mazda, which last month signed Phelps to an endorsement deal believed to be worth more than $1 million. Phelps was signed to promote Mazda cars in China after his record-breaking eight-gold-medal performance at the Beijing Olympics last summer.

Subway accepts Michael Phelps' apology, wants him to make them some bread

It's been a pretty rough week for former American golden boy Michael Phelps. Photographic evidenced that seemed to show him enjoying the business end of a bong surfaced, he apologized, was punished and began to see his endorsement dollars dissipate.

 

But all is not lost for Mr. Phelps. Sandwich juggernaut Subway has announced they're sticking by the swimming star.

"Like most Americans, and like Michael Phelps himself, we were disappointed in his behavior," Subway, which specializes in sandwiches, said in a statement.

"Also like most Americans, we accept his apology. Moving forward, he remains in our plans."

 

In an article posted on website AdAge.com, the industry journal cited "executives close to the matter" as saying a campaign featuring Phelps and slated for early 2009 would be delayed.

 

Subway debated keeping him:

Subway De-links Michael Phelps As They Prepare to Drop Sponsorship

 

Subway has officially de-linked Michael Phelps as they prepare to drop his recently announced sponsorship deal. Before Michael’s bong hits hit the headlines, Michael Phelps was featured on the Subway web site. However, since the swimmer’s pothead scandal, Subway has removed all links to pages featuring the Olympic swimmer.

Woods also comes in for praise due to his agility with the press. (An illustrative quote from the cagey star: “My dad taught me that when I’m asked a question, I have control of the answer.”) And Joe Queenan argues that Obama could benefit most from a Woods-like agility with image control. “Tiger never does anything that would make him look ridiculous,” he writes.

I was going to say this same thing. I don't know how serious you were, but you did the bored a tremendous service.

[NewbieJr 541]

In summation, I'd like to say that I agree completely with KSB that the main stream media should be letting this thing go now.

Yupper.

 

Like I said yesterday, as much as I wanted the truth to come out and was annoyed with his BS story about the accident/wife 'saving him' by busting out the backwindow, as soon as the evidence became overwhelming and forced him to apologize/admit imperfection, i immediately started feeling bad for the guy.

 

Weird thing, my mind.

[TD Ryan2 315]

I was going to say this same thing. I don't know how serious you were, but you did the bored a tremendous service.

 

parrot, I went in a similar direction as you did and searched "KSB + Belichick".

I had to do some real work and didn't have time to really get into it, but KSB was surprisingly consistent with his approach to Belichick even though he hates the coaching-genius.

He did have one post about how he hates liars, cheaters, and thieves and therefore hates Belichick, but that was about it.

 

Brady on the other hand, was a goldmine... I didn't search on that one. Nice Job!

those deals aren't forever, they have to keep being renewed, just like kellog. Kellog's deal was up for renewal and they decided not

to, that is played out as him being dropped. Well all those others backed him, renewing their deals.

 

Also by the way: Visa, powerbar, adidas, at&t... yea phelps was really hurt

 

 

By the way I'll ask again: John Daly? The more downhill he went, the more endorsements he got, the more popular he got. Splain that.

You know what, I could continue to ask why Mike Vick, the most hated guy in the NFL, is near the top in jersey sales this year.

I could ask why rap albums hating on cops and calling out whitey are bought by so many white ppl.

 

instead I'll answer it. It's a cultural change. It became cool to be the bad guy, cheer for the villian. If Stone Cold Steve Austin was out

there in the 70s or 80s telling everyone to kiss his ass, he'd be booed. But in this generation, he told everyone to kiss his ass, and he

was cheered. What were the popular shows of the 80s? Cosby? 00s? Sopranos? We went from Family Ties to Family Guy.

 

Times have changed, and popularity or endorsements aren't affected by bad behaviour like they once were.

http://www.wwtdd.com/2009/12/elin-nordegren-just-got-paid/

 

…don’t look for Woods’ wife, Elin, to be moving out of the couple’s Windermere, FL., mansion anytime soon. She’s reportedly being paid a hefty seven-figure amount — immediately transfered into an account she alone controls — to stick with her husband.

On top of that, my source indicated Elin Nordegren Woods, the mother of Tiger’s two children, has demanded — and is getting — a total rewrite on the couple’s prenuptial agreement making the incentives for her to remain Mrs. Tiger Woods even more enticing.

At this point, the couple needed to remain married for 10 years in order for Woods’ wife to collect a splitsville settlement of $20 million. I’m being told that time frame has been shortened — and the dollar amount increased “substantially.”

 

 

 

http://www.wwtdd.com/2009/12/tiger-is-buying-everyone-off/

 

Rachel Uchitel was set to go public and admit her affair with Tiger Woods until a last-minute flurry of phone calls between her rep and representatives for the golfer.

Tiger’s people are desperate to keep Rachel from talking about Tiger and that they were willing to go a long, long way to keep her silent.

One source claimed that Rachel was negotiating a $1 million payoff by Tiger’s people to remain silent.

 

 

 

I think this could really turn out bad for Tiger. He should just let the story run it's course. If one of these wemens know they can get a million for not saying saying anything about the sex, what if one of them decides declare they did coke with him? "Give me five million or I fabricate some other sh!t up!"

[Mike Honcho 4,175]

By the way I'll ask again: John Daly? The more downhill he went, the more endorsements he got, the more popular he got. Splain that.

 

 

Suppose you'll be proving this like the Phelps claims you made earlier.

[Bert 1,115]

Damn Jasper don't hold back.

 

Jesper Parnevik is quoted as saying "I really feel sorry for Elin, since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with him. We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of the 3-iron."

About 50 people have asked Dave Bailey when the green Michael Vick jerseys are arriving.

 

Not yet, he says. Soon.

 

But don't expect Bailey to buy one.

 

"I think (Eagles great) Ron Jaworski deserves number seven for himself, and I think Michael Vick should wear something else," said Bailey, an employee of BC Sports in Atlantic County's Hamilton Mall. "Seven should be reserved for someone who earned it."

 

The Philadelphia Eagles' most divisive National Football League off-season signing has area stores rushing to stock the shelves. Some people despise Vick for bankrolling a dog fighting ring, an offense that landed him a two-year prison sentence.

 

Others love Vick because of his play-making ability. Before legal troubles caught up to him, Vick was one of the most exciting players in the league.

 

Both of those sentiments have driven interest in Vick merchandise. Champs Sports in Vineland is offering replica jerseys in black, green and white.

 

Managers say they're selling one or two of the jerseys each day, with more people waiting to buy higher-quality stitched jerseys when they become available.

 

Steve Colbert of Egg Harbor Township visited Forman Mills, a clothing factory store, last week to sift through racks of Vick jerseys.

 

"I think it's great," Colbert said. "There are guys that have done a lot worse in the NFL and you can still buy their jersey."

 

 

 

This Steve guy sounds like one of your typical OGs
