"Employees don't get to rat out employers as a general rule, with all due respect to our shamefully toothless whistle-blower laws, and especially not in a one-on-one relationship like that of golfer-caddie."

You know I've been watching the Stevie Williams interview over and over again trying to figure out what's so comical about it and Ray Ratto makes a great point about it which I was unable to see: if Stevie is all hot and bothered with Tiger, and is claiming he would have blown the whistle on Tiger's off course activity, how does Stevie keep his job? Oh that's right, he's full of it too and Tiger knows that. Shoot, maybe even likes that about him.

Steve Williams didn't get to where he is by trumpeting his independence. He works for Woods, and what he did or didn't know would have stayed in-house. That is an absolute mortal lock, as verified both by Williams' history with Woods and the bro code that men in an adolescent's world live by.

Second, if he had blown the whistle, it would have been the last thing he ever did for Woods or any other golfer. Employees don't get to rat out employers as a general rule, with all due respect to our shamefully toothless whistle-blower laws, and especially not in a one-on-one relationship like that of golfer-caddie.

In short, in becoming Woods' public moral compass, he would be doing what Woods' gallery full of "entertainment consultants" have been doing -- playing for the short money.

In fact, just saying he would have rolled on his benefactor might buy Williams what the British call his P-45 -- his unemployment notice.

Naaaaa...Tiger's put the band back together. Are yes-men really that hard to find these days?
