Step 4.1 - After Making Amends, Make Money


So he left it to the marketing people who made him a star in the first place. The making of a new image began not with Woods reaching out to fans at the par-3, but with an ill-advised, ill-timed Nike commercial.

It invokes the voice of his late father who wants to know if his son had learned his lesson. Woods, wearing a Swoosh on his cap and on his vest, also wears a soulful look—as if he had just been taken to the woodshed.

"
I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?" Dad asks.

There's no answer, but it could have been: "Yes, sir. I learned to be more careful when I send text messages."
I just lost any remaining respect I had for Tiger Woods. And Nike sneakers are too narrow for my feet anyway.

Have they signed Tiki Barber for their next slew of ads?

What are your favorite Sneakers? I have wide feet and am tired of 'old lady' sneakers.

Any favorites out there?

What is Nike thinking???

Lola said...

Thank you for the tip. ;-)

It turns out that Saucony and NewBalance are what my darlings wear. (I've been too cheap to treat my own feet!)

C'mon, gals.
Tiger just learned to "affirm" himself and "love" himself in rehab.
He's just carrying out the mandate (whoops! Freudian slip there:<)!)...
