True. More proof that women are attracted to money more than anything else.

There are lots of guys better looking than Tiger that would never get a first glance, much less a second, from a hottie like Tiger's wife.

Because looks should be the only thing that matters.
Yeah, apparently money matters a lot more to women. This has been proven over time to be irrefutable.

pimp.
He put Nike on the map, and vice-versa.

Funny thing about MJ is, I bet if he still wanted to play, he could be in the top 30 or so in scoring, even now.

no he couldnt. he might get a job coming off the bench.
Sure, he'd be coming off the bench, but he'd still be top 30 in scoring. Maybe top 40, but no lower.

Its admirable to think that but his knees can't handle pro basketball anymore.

Yep

Guys in Basketball start having knee problems in their mid 30's and he's in his mid 40's.

of course theres going to be less standouts in football, the teams are what 7 times bigger than the other team sports? Also much larger coaching staffs. Theres a lot more people to spread the money around to.

Comparing individuals such as Paqioa and Woods to team sports isnt fair either.

Plus, most are not prima donnas like bball and baseball stars.

weird, i've never heard anyone suggest Tiger is "ugly" before.

i don't think that is the consensus among women though. most that I know think he's cute? he's in supreme physical shape... that's gotta count for something....
