Two Weeks of Tiger

January 14, 2008

The Golf Channel is advertising “Two Weeks of Tiger”—apparently a fourteen day Tiger lovefest. All kinds of things were running through my head as I heard that. Among them:

There IS such a thing as too much publicity.

The Golf Channel has jumped the shark.

If Tiger is as private a person as his press releases make him out to be, what does he think of this?

Is Nike paying The Golf Channel through back channels for two weeks of nonstop advertising?

They’re beating a dead horse.

I wonder how the other 124 members of the Tour feel about this?

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Too much of anything is bad for you.

If (God forbid) Tiger were to die suddenly, would The Golf Channel go out of business?

I’m giving The Golf Channel “three thumbs down” on my TiVo for the next two weeks so it won’t record any of that network’s programs.

Why didn’t I get a two week celebration when I returned to teaching after winter break? I’m at least as good a teacher as Tiger is a golfer. I’ve been voted Best Teacher six years in a row by the Senior Classes. I’m better looking, too. And smarter. And more interesting.

  • I agree totally…..The Golf Channel has lost their minds….There are thousands of other players in the
    world that deserve a little representation.

  • I reached the point of Tiger Overload way back in 2000.  Imagine how I feel right now - LOL.  I like that others are now feeling what I’m feeling.

    Two more things to consider:

    A way to make it up to Tiger for the lynching comment.  I’m sure he gets paid whenever he’s shown on tv through his various endorsements.

    A way for Kelly to have a solid week to either suck up even more to Tiger or to make another stupid, possible career ending comment. (She’s missing the first week.)

  • I have to correct myself - I think Kelly’s back for both of the Tiger Weeks.  I’ll be the one missing at least the first week by watching the Australian Open Tennis tournament.  The second week - I’m sure I can watch the food network or something.
