That 1997 piece is astounding (damn Pierce is a good writer), both for its insight and its prescience.
Or, as Atrios would say, “Nobody could have predicted.”
Wow. As cynical as I am, I bought into the Tiger myth hook, line, and sinker. I’m not into sports much, and I loathe golf as much as George Carlin did, but I had a fondness for the image of Tiger.
So while he certainly is still a supremely gifted athlete, it turns out he’s as crass and human as everyone else: I should know better. No surprise that I was fond of John Edwards until… well, you know.
Great articles: thanks to you and Avelino for the links.
