I’m looking forward to the day when all the blogs, Tweets, and Facebook Status Updates aren’t about Tiger, aren’t bad jokes about hitting hydrants and 9-irons, and I can stop hearing about what goes on inside the velvet ropes at VIP clubs. It’s not a national tragedy, but it is a fall from grace the sort we haven’t seen in a long, long time—and perhaps never in sports. But ultimately, it’s none of our business other than that snarky feeling we get laughing at someone else’s troubles.

There but for the grace of golf…

So let us allow the family Woods to figure out their future without our prying eyes. Now what will be interesting is whether we express our displeasure in the marketplace, although why anyone wouldn’t buy a Gillette razor or Nike golf ball because Tiger transgressed is beyond me.

I’m going back to my original thesis, which is that the American public has a short attention span and is quick to forgive and forget. Case in point: Congress.

And somewhere out there, if you listen closely, another scandal is brewing. Just you wait and see.
