Uh, About Those Texts...
/So my modem was down and once I got back online, obviously I paid some bills, read a few articles and only after checking in with my assorted foundations to make sure all was right with the world, did I point my mouse over to Josyln James's site.
My excuse? I was forced to because so many of you wrote to let me know that I was wrong in suggesting that Tiger agent Mark Steinberg had been exonerated, and I could certainly see how you all might think he was involved in those (alleged) Men's Fitness/National Enquirer negotiations since they probably required a courtesy call to Golf Digest and Conde Nast legal to make sure that it was okay for Tiger to give them a big scoop. I could (allegedly) see that.
Anyway, what about the texting was most, gulp, interesting? For starters, Tiger was not shy in revealing his schedule a few weeks out! We lowly scribes only find out the Friday beforehand, but Tiger is tipping his (alleged) porn star friend off! Are you ready to be heartbroken?
Tiger:Sent: 05:54 AM 08/09/2009: I told you im playing these two weeks
Tiger:Sent: 04:10 PM 08/28/2009: Maybe in two weeks in chicago
However, he is a detail man. It's not like he put the annoying task of texting lodging info off on some staffer.
Tiger:Sent: 03:15 AM 09/07/2009: You are going to be headed to the hyatt lodge. 2815 jorie blvd oak brook, il 60523. Phone 630 990 5800
Tiger:Sent: 11:38 AM 09/07/2009: Did you get my text with all the info
Tiger:Sent: 11:41 AM 09/07/2009: I will text you the room number when i get there. Im still in boston
Tiger:Sent: 11:43 AM 09/07/2009: I have to check in to get the room
And we know that he can only eat turkey when it's in the form of a club sandwich. Something I have in common with Tiger.
Tiger:Sent: 07:09 PM 09/07/2009: What do you want to eat
Tiger:Sent: 07:10 PM 09/07/2009: Anything simple
Tiger:Sent: 07:12 PM 09/07/2009: No turkey unless it's a club sandwich
Now, this isn't something most us have in common.
Tiger:Sent: 01:28 PM 09/08/2009: Have you ever had a golden shower done to you
Tiger:Sent: 01:29 PM 09/08/2009: Just morbid curiosity
If that didn't take the prize, this has to rank as one of the least romantic text messages ever sent:
Tiger:Sent: 07:32 PM 09/08/2009: You felt amazing to baby. How much was your flight by the way
Actually as reader Tom will surely email to tell me, that's too, not to, Tiger. We all make that mistake!
Tiger:Sent: 07:35 PM 09/08/2009: Having a few issues at home. Might be a little later before i see you tonight
Tiger:Sent: 07:39 PM 09/08/2009: Parent hood melt down:)
Tiger:Sent: 08:01 PM 09/08/2009: How much was your flight
Major charm offensive! At least he didn't ask to see a receipt. As far as we know.
Tiger:Sent: 10:40 AM 10/04/2009: Guys from dubai. Investors. So my agent being suggested that we go back to my room at the mansion for lunch. He doesnt know about us, obviously
I still say score one for Steiney. Okay, Steiney post-Men's Fitness maybe.
After that it kind of snowballs and I'm not really in the mood to overuse the %$#@*&^ keys.
