Tiger's troubles

It’s amazing how the world’s richest athlete continues to make stupid decisions that will prolong his misery.

Yes, I am talking about none other than Tiger “Share the Love” Woods.

The latest twist in Tiger’s tawdry tale will be Friday morning's carefully controlled press conference about his, er, adventures with women who were not his wife.

Tiger, ever the control freak, thinks he can still call the shots here. That’s as wrong as using an iron on a long drive.

Tiger plans to read a prepared statement to a small group of selected reporters.

That’s it. No questions will be allowed. Only one camera will film the spectacle.

Maybe Tiger thinks we’ll all be satisfied with this spin show and go back to watching the Winter Olympics.

His high-priced consultants should stop telling him what he wants to hear and level with him.

The only way for him to put this mess in the past is to take the plunge. That means going on Oprah or Larry King and taking some hard questions.

The more he tiptoes around it, all he does is give a new lead on an old story.

Sure, a lot of us will watch Friday's follies. But somebody needs to tell Mr. Know It All that it’s like giving a starving man a whiff of a steak dinner.

We want more. One way or another, we’ll get it.
