Black Friday gets the best of Tiger, a return to Philly for AI, and Tebow's amazing eye black.
Thought #1 - Black Friday is a crazy day and plenty of people go out of their way, getting up super early just to save a few bucks on the latest trendy over priced toy or the must have gadget of the season. Some people go out of their way, and some people just go flipping nuts to score a deal. Tiger falls into the latter category.
Around 2:25am on Friday Woods was reportedly involved in a one car, one fire hydrant, and one tree collision. As the story goes Tiger was backing out of his driveway when the incident occurred. His wife, Elin, instantly went into ER mode, breaking out the rear window with a golf club and dragging Tiger out.
A few thoughts on this:
#1- The police have indicated that they do not believe alcohol was involved. Really? I'm not sure if it's not sadder to think that alcohol wasn't a factor in this whole thing. I mean one of the greatest athletes ever can't navigate his own driveway? That's pretty shameful. Might want to pour some beer on his shirt and claim that as the reason. Yeah it's not the most respectable thing, but it's better than having everyone think you're driving resembles that 10-year-old girl that always gets stuck going the wrong way on the bumper car track.
#2 - The police are referring to this as a "minor incident." When is the last time you were in a minor incident and you had to be drug out of your ride through a window? When is the last time the jaws of life were used to help people escape a fender bender? Yeah, dude was no doubt rolling out that driveway in his SUV when that fire hydrant jumped out at him. Tiger, you're driveway is not Daytona. Take your time, and don't just trust those mirrors, actually turn around and look. Remember fire hydrants and tires have no common sense, they never look both ways before they run out into the street, so you got to watch.
#3 - Where the heck were you rolling to at 2:30am anyway? Dude, Target is not going to run out of those $40 Tom Toms ok. That Tony Hawk Wii skateboard, will still be there at 4am, along with those $70 Blue Ray players, and $10 margarita makers. Yeah getting a $2 copy of Wedding Crashers is sweet, but it's not worth trashing your ride for buddy.
Thought #2 - I like that Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown wants to counsel Allen Iverson but doesn't want him to play on his team. That's kind of like a person telling you how concerned they are about homeless people and then refusing to let you sleep over at their house. Larry may want to play the good guy card here, but to be honest he's more than fine with Allen sleeping on that park bench with a newspaper blanket tonight.
Thought #2b - Interestingly enough AI could be making his return to Philly. The Sixers are reportedly mulling around the idea of making him an offer. A source inside the team has declared they are very "boring" right now. Well Allen may not be "The Answer" to many things these days, but he darn sure can help with that. Philly, prepare yourself for a booster shot of drama, moody press conferences, and fights with coaches. Enjoy.
Thought #3 - I'm very surprised that no one has marketed Tim Tebow Bible Verse Eye Black Strips. I mean can't you just see those filling up the cabinets at Bible book stores around the country? I mean forget your classic Prayer of Jabez hand towel, or your fancy after dinner Test-ta-Mints, these could easily be the WWJD bracelet for the next generation. Somebody has got to get on that.
Thought #4 - Dear New Jersey Nets, the league is out of horrible teams for you to play in hopes of ending your win less streak. After losing to the Kings last night in front of 10s of fans, there are pretty much no other options left. Unless the league has mercy on you and lets you schedule a contest against the Comets, or maybe the Sparks, it's very possible you will not win a game this year.
