The Bullsh!t-o-meter: Tiger Woods

As several of our blogging colleagues have noted, Tiger Woods finds Liberty National “interesting.”  What does that mean?

We force fed some of his soundbites through the Bullsh!t-o-meter and here’s what we got.

Q. What did you think of the golf course?

Tiger: It’s interesting. (Laughter).

BSOM Translation: Get the bulldozers warmed up.

Q. What’s the most interesting thing about it?

Tiger: I think just the whole thing, the angles you have, green complexes, the wind blowing, a lot of cross wind shots. So it’s going to definitely test your ball striking and if you miss the green, it’s very tight, you have so many options, you can spin the ball or carry it or bump it or you can use a lot of putters around the golf course.

BSOM Translation: Interestingly I can’t spray it and still get up and down for eagle or birdie. What the f*ck is that all about?

Q. What was behind your decision to play this week?

Tiger: I want to play. I qualified, so

BSOM Translation: Finchem called and begged. Then wept and begged some more. At first I said “OK I’ll do it” and he was all like “Really!?!” and I would laugh and say “Of course not dummy” and would hang up. But after a half a dozen calls like that I decided to play. You’re welcome.

Q. Do you think it’s fair if you could win the next three weeks and not win the FedExCup with eight wins this year?

Tiger: It could happen.

BSOM Translation: It could but it won’t. Look at me, you see what I’m saying? It could … but it won’t.

Q. It could very well happen?

Tiger: It could very well happen, no doubt. Guys who haven’t won a tournament all year could win the FedExCup.

It is quite interesting how it could work out that way.

BSOM Translation: If it does happen, I’m going to use the FedEx cup to potty train Charlie.
