Tiger Woods’ Interview with Mike & Mike: He Said Nothing, And They Seemed Reluctant to Press for Anything
Tiger Woods: His much ballyhooed interview with Mike & Mike this morning was a bust. Do they know how to ask a follow-up question? For instance: Q – “Tiger, who did you lean on during the last year?” Woods: “Very close friends. People who have been with me a long time.” The 20-minute interview was full of those types of general answers. Q: [About the Ryder Cup wives.] Answer: “A lot of the wives were fantastic. They were extremely nice to me.” Penetrating stuff. We’d have to listen again, but was Elin’s name mentioned once? (Probably not, as Elin questions and car accident questions were banned.) Tiger controlled the interview. We would have more respect for the Mikes if they pressed Tiger hard for specifics and he got huffy. Final softball score: Tiger 7, Mikes 2.

Right, because there aren’t enough specifics out there.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:34 AM
you are a dipshit if you go to mike and mike for hard hitting interesting interviews.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:34 AM
His Newsweek piece was well done.
/Fuck Mike & Mike
November 18th, 2010 at 10:35 AM
My favorite part is them making sure to preface that there was no question that they couldn’t ask. I didn’t even wait for this stupid interview. Waste of my time. I’ll keep repeating this over and over again.: M&M is the biggest FU to a radio audience ever.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:36 AM
are you criticizing tiger here? i feel like i should ask just to make sure so i don’t think you’re hating on a guy like you weren’t hating on hakeem nicks*.
*you were hating on hakeem nicks
November 18th, 2010 at 10:37 AM
Really, at this point, what more do we need to know? What more do you want to know?
November 18th, 2010 at 10:38 AM
i was hoping to hear more about him cracking PGA skulls again.
unfortunately, now he’s a pussy.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:39 AM
What his feelings on Lost are.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:39 AM
Why have the interview if you are telling us stuff we already know? I won’t lie, its my fault for letting these idiots be my background noise while I’m getting ready in the morning, but if I hear that you are interviewing Tiger Woods, I want some depth, damn it.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:39 AM
most boring interview in sports with the most boring radio hosts. you should stay away next time
November 18th, 2010 at 10:40 AM

Well played.

agree, sounded contrite
November 18th, 2010 at 10:40 AM
are you new here? tiger’s never given an interview that’s been illuminating.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:41 AM
i dont give a shit what he says anymore. whatever it takes to get him back in to ass kicking mode come 2011 i am for.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:42 AM
I agree. The interviews here have been pretty hard-hitting.

He’ll be back. I’m telling you, it was his knee injury holding him back. As it gets stronger, and he can sustain spine angle without pain, he’ll be back.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:43 AM
A lot of the wives were fantastic.
Tiger and Tony Parker have a lot in common.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:43 AM
Couldn’t have said it better. The world is a better place when Tiger is making birdies and banging whores.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:43 AM

i like the switch to foley too. foley’s swing method should work well with that if mahan and ames’ swings are any indicator.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:45 AM
OK, that came out significantly more snarky than I meant it to. All I’m saying is that there doesn’t have to be a Mike Wallace investigation for it to an interesting piece.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:45 AM

Its like asking a battle hardened Marine what they think about the war.
“We are here to win the hearts and minds, sir ”
You’ll hardly ever get a real answer.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:46 AM
I was really hoping to learn more about his close friends that he leaned on.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:46 AM
My favorite part had to have been “Master of Information”, hilarious.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:47 AM
I just want to know when he’s going to be posting a -5 on a Sunday at Augusta again. Or a -2 at the US Open.
Please start winning again, Tiger. I like watching you golf well.

November 18th, 2010 at 10:49 AM
I like that Foley isn’t a yes-man. Pre-injury, did you EVER see Tiger block a knockdown 130 PW 20 yards right? Never. After he got hurt, and couldn’t hold spine angle, the club would drop behind him and be so far inside that it happened frequently. He started stoning irons again late in the year. A couple months off with more strength rehab, and he’ll be fine.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:50 AM
Touche. But the important thing to note is that I’m not married. And, if we retroactively apply the housewife in question’s new “open marriage” arrangement, I’m really not guilty of any moral wrongdoing.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:50 AM
I think we all know I’m not “back-downer.” I really didn’t mean it as a shot.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:51 AM
Were you seriously expecting Mike & Mike to interrogate Woods resulting in him pouring his heart out on the ESPN airwaves?
What’s next? Ben Wallace becoming a lawyer!?
November 18th, 2010 at 10:51 AM
bullshit. they effing imported the sun into that room…illumination to the max.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:51 AM
Slow justice is not Sanders justice.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:51 AM
I’m on your side. there are 2 stages of a relationship—Married and not married. If you aren’t married, not your problem.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:51 AM
No talk about new shoes = weak interview. Simple math you jackasses.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:52 AM
That is some fantastic rationalization.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:53 AM
According to Dan Patrick, Tiger’s people emailed ESPN and said all restrictions were off. Just before the interview started, of course.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:53 AM
Sanders fucked someone’s wife? Was it a Rooney family member? That would explain his release.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:53 AM
Okay. Maybe a little bit of wrongdoing.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:53 AM
This.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:54 AM
I am sure the male that reluctantly agreed to this open marriage arrangement to save face agrees undoubtedly.

Missed out on that post yesterday, I was in a similar situation back in the day. Didn’t know she was married, cut her off when I found out, felt awful.
November 18th, 2010 at 10:55 AM

agree. I had a nice long answer eaten yesterday saying that, and also saying I NEVER want to meet Mrs Miz, cause Miz would shoot me

I didn’t hear the interview, but they were playing snippets after it ended. I guess I didn’t miss anything, so I switched over to another insufferable duo in Boomer and Carton. Found out that today’s the 25th anniversary of Theismann never playing again. The more you know….

Wow. Really? What if there were kids involved? Would you still continue to fuck around?

This must have crushed Greeney.
November 18th, 2010 at 11:02 AM

Barkley said about a month ago that he hasn’t spoken or texted Tiger since the accident, & said he doesn’t know anyone who has. Tiger changed all his numbers & everyone off

Should be no shame at all if they’re actively pursuing it.
November 18th, 2010 at 11:05 AM
If she wanted to fuck someone else she was going to ruin the marriage for the husband anyway. She’s the bitch here not Sanders. Husband is an idiot for trying to salvage it.
/knows nothing of the details, still confident in that answer
November 18th, 2010 at 11:05 AM
That would explain his release.

So, are you mad at your wife, or the guy who fucked her? Because if it’s the guy, you’ve got it backwards. He didn’t promise shit to you.
November 18th, 2010 at 11:13 AM
I would not be surprised if they went easy on him and didnt push for anything because espn told them to. Espn does not want to piss him off in fear that he would put them on his banned list.
November 18th, 2010 at 11:13 AM
