Have you seen this? I have worked in TV and marketing for 30+ years and I have never seen a TV commercial that was in as poor taste as this one!! I have contacted Nike and expressed my disgust. I was just compelled to do so.

Disgust? Poor taste? Cripes.

For what? Who cares? Why do you? It's just a commercial.

Because I make a part of my living producing TV commercials and representing pro athletes - and this leaves a bad taste. It's just not the right way to promote .... there is no positive message for the product ... I see it as Nike taking advantage of their "property" (Tiger) and if one of my clients were in that situation I would not allow it - no matter what the price tag. It's just in poor taste, in my opinion anyway .....

Just saw it on Golf Channel. It's touching if you are feeling sorry for him. I don't! I don't care what his dad would have said to him. I just want him to get back to playing and stop all this damn HYPE. Even ESPN is going to show his first Tee shot. What have we become?

As for Nike promoting there product. Isn't that marketing is suppose to do?

Alright, whatever, Nike commercial. No big deal... What happened to the Nike slogan under the logo though??? Hmm, I thinking that "Just Do It" will be absent from any commercial featuring Tiger, at least for a bit anyway.

Not a big fan of this commercial. I did really like the "Never" commercial from before all the hoopla.

Huge over reaction. It was Tiger saying he was starting over, imagining what his father would have said. I dont see the problem.

Leave it to Nike to try to capitalize on the situation. Kind of what I've come to expect from them.

I personally don't have a problem with the commercial and like the idea. I can see his father saying those things to him at the point he is at right now. I have no sympathy for tiger but I like the commercial.

Yeah, right. Sorry, but everyone has a price on things like that. Your over-reaction is just that... an over-reaction. It is what it is, and to me, it's less than I've already given credit in writing as much (what, three sentences? four?) about it. So I'm done.

I've seen it a couple of times now... I don't have a problem with it. It's not over the top, and shows he's starting over.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
