How many times have you watched pro athletes, with their wealth and influence and wished you could trade places with them? It may be that, on occasion, you might actually be better off than some of them.
That is at least the way it is in the case of Tiger Woods. He is probably the most gifted golfer who ever walked the planet and, since he became a champion on the world golf circuit, he has been rewarded with loads of money, lucrative commercial endorsements, worshipful fans, a gorgeous wife and two kids.
Unfortunately, though, his fortune may be changing.
Last week, Woods was involved in a car accident. After allegedly backing out of his driveway, he ran into a fire hydrant and then a tree. His spouse claimed that she knocked out the back windows of his vehicle with a golf club to pull him to safety. Cops arrived and he was taken to the hospital, treated for minor wounds and released.
The problem is that the story has not morphed into a colossal scandal, as some speculate that his wife might have been swingin'' that club at him for being unfaithful. Now, babes are coming out of the woodwork, with incriminating text messages and voice messages to them from Woods.
His career will probably recover, once the novelty of the scandal dies down, but his marriage may not.
Hey, maybe your boring life isn't so bad, after all!
