Shouldabeen.....I understand what you are saying and dont disagree.......but if the photographer knows that it bothers him, why do it?   Now that he knows that his *&^$@#$^&*  neck will be broke, maybe he will stop. 

Wouldnt it be great tv to see Tiger go after a photographer and tackle him like the guy in the commercial?

I guess I've been assuming these are accidents and not intentional.  ROR, you take bazzilions of photos each fall.  Do you ever accidentally hit the shutter while you are waiting for a specific shot?  It its intentional they should lose their press credentials for a year.

Geewiz.  Enough of defending the photographer already.  A person's opinion of Tiger Woods has no bearing on the fact that the photogs' contracts with the PGA state that they cannot irritate the golfers (Not the gophers, you idiot!  The golfers!) or do anything that disturbs them.  Pretty much the end of the discussion, no?

Yes, I've been known to do that.

Now, here's what I don't get.  With digital SLRs, which all pro sports photographers use, the sound of the shutter is generated by a computer chip.  You can turn it off.  Generally it is left on because everyone is accustomed to the sound of the shutter as confirmation that a photo was actually taken.

vacation for the next three weeks +k to as many as I can get to.

Didn't know you were left handed Kubiack

[OzJohnnie]

Good pic, Kubiak.  Be careful no to step on the grass - I think they are working on a garden.  There may be more dirt on the moon, but it would be a tough call.  Have a good break.

In other news, if you weren't sure about the Jerry Springer quality of most Kiwi's, then let there be no doubt: "Man said 'wombat rape' led to accent change."

The lede:

A New Zealand man who claimed he was raped by a wombat and that the experience left him speaking with an Australian accent has been found guilty of wasting police time.

And the money lines:

Arthur Cradock, 48, from the South Island town of Motueka, called police last month to tell them he was being raped by the marsupial at his home and needed urgent assistance.

Cradock, an orchard worker, later called back to reassure the police operator that he was all right.

"I’ll retract the rape complaint from the wombat, because he’s pulled out. Apart from speaking Australian now, I’m pretty all right you know. I didn’t hurt my bum at all."



'Nuff said.

[Kilted Rat]

Yes, yes, I know many of you don't care.  But it's the off-season and what the hell else is there to do?  Ignore the vids if you're tired of them, but these are pretty good:

AFL - The Best Bits.

The Hawks sending a bunch of those pansy Bombers off the field bleeding and crying after a bit of biffo.

I'll take the bait OZ.  I'm supposed to inform you that the hawks haven't won squat since 1991.  (don't kill the messenger... as far as I know the guy in the funny little hat is calling a foul when he sticks his hands out like pistols )

Actually the best part of Aussie Rules is the passion of the supporters.  And, I'll be honest, if your Essendon supporting buddy is one of the tough looking dudes in your avatar then I'll do my bagging from this secret, hardened bunker in a secure, non-disclosed location (which is far, far away from Melbourne...).

Which are you, by the way?

standing, 5th one from the left



the aussie isn't in this pic though

Silly WIAC grad, you could have just said 4th from the right


Flash,
What makes you say he's left-handed?
And don't anyone dare say bad things about lefties, MrsKR is one!

[janesvilleflash]

Holster tie down on left leg.

One last Tiger Comment.  I seem to remember stories about his father jingling change in his pocket when Tiger was in mid -stroke to help with Tiger's concentration.  Wouldn't that training translate to the camera click?

Also, I am (ok was) a golfer, not a non-golfer, so I do understand the silence part, but still think that golfers should be less uptight about it.  Bring on Happy Gilmore!

[retagent]

There's a game you can play where you get so many "woofs" during a round of golf. You get to yell "woof" that number of times during your opponents backswing. No limit on fake outs though.

Holster tie down on left leg.

Wow, you must be sober tonight to pick up that one!

Either that or you got a huge porn-viewing monitor.

[OzJohnnie]

So, in NZ the crazies are raped by wombats...

In Virginia?  No less than big foot.

Hmm...  I'm left speechless.

guy on far right went to millsaps and the guy second to the left went to Alfred

Or, if you prefer, the guy 8th from the left and the guy 7th from the right.

[OleFan]

Tiger and his caddy have had problems with photographers in the past.

I am not a Woods fan, but I respect the guy.  I have no problem with Tiger's reaction.  Golf seems to be held to a higher standard than most sports.  My biggest problem is that Tiger is handling the problems.  The PGA needs to take action on these photographers.
