The Finger Wag – Athletes using Twitter and Social Media to their Disadvantage

As you probably know by Tiger Woods withdrew from the Players Championship this past weekend.  A few people have speculated that the injury was made up or he withdrew for other reasons than a neck injury.

This reporter however came up with a bran new theroy:

I have been known to have the same problem

Thanks to Easy-E for the story

Have you seen the new Nike commercial for Tiger at the Master’s?  If you haven’t here it is:

It’s probably the best piece of advertising in a long while.  You may not agree with it but I have seen this commercial around 1,000 times this morning.  It was on Good Morning America, ESPN, CNN, I think I even saw it on youporn.

You may ask why Nike would chance this by getting in bed with Tiger?  Why would Nike worship Tiger?  Why would Nike clean the dung off Tiger’s shoes?!?  THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR THAT’S WHY!!!

Sorry I just broke into the million dollar man there.

Apparently I am not the only one though…

Finally saw #Nike #Tiger commercial. Too bad Earl can't speak for himself. I guess "everyone has a price"! *Ted Dibiase referece* On 12:15 PM Apr 8th 2010 from UberTwitter

Just for fun here some Million Dollar Man:

Most of you probably heard Tiger Woods is returning to golf this week and that he held a press conference this after.

I agree completely with Thurman here. I thought the conference was good and he seemed very open. I just can’t wait to see the guy play some golf again.

And now another perspective,
