In terms of top five things I wouldn't expect to happen this year, Tiger Woods getting into a major accident because his wife attacked him with a golf club due to him cheating on his wife. Shit, that might even be a top three thing that I wouldn't see coming. This has the makings of being a lesser version of Kobe Bryant fiasco.
If it comes out that he did cheat on his wife like the gossip hounds are preying on right now about Tiger and this supposed other women. The first I heard of it was on Deadspin, and didn't have a lot of meat to the story then he gets in this crazy accident the next day, which sounded like he drank and drive. Now, the next day he supposedly cheated on his wife... unreal.
Unfortunately, he is going to be destroyed by the media if he cheated on his wife and it will be the hot-topic debate for Around the Horn, First and 10, and PTI for sure probably SportsCenter too. The crazy thing is this has NEVER happened to golf. Not Jack, Arnold, Gary Player, Seve, none of the premier golfers ever got in this deep of trouble. Only the likes of John Daly leading people to laugh at Big John for amusement.
It will be hard for Tiger to be liked by the media next year if they find out that he cheated. How awkward does the Masters become if Tiger is leading on the back nine? Do people root against him, which would be Brett Favre-esqe of a group of people loved him to death and now cannot stand him. I have no idea how the media likes of Jim Nantz, Dan Hicks, Johnny Miller, and Nick Faldo.
Me personally, I forgave Kobe Bryant. Everybody screws up in life and yes, cheating isn't something should happened in any martial relationships. I will still cheer on Tiger Woods, he is a hell of an athlete and I say there is a 50% chance that this will hurt him 2010, right now.
