Brandel Chamblee Is the Biggest Tiger Hater

Just because Tiger didn't formally address his concerns about the kid/teenager who fainted, doesn't mean in private he didn't express his concern.  For all we know, he sent the kid a get well card and a Nike golf set.  My point is the media acts like Tiger needs to spell out his every thought process of the kid fainting.  I mean come on people.  Relax.  The dude hit an errant tee shot because someone screamed in his back swing.

**Begin comment **I was driving yesterday and it was pouring down rain here in Newport Beach... I saw 3 car accidents in a span of 30 minutes while running errands.  I wanted to get off the road as quickly as possible. **End comment**

Does this mean that I wasn't concerned for the welfare of the folks involved in the accident?  That I'm a selfish person and only cared about my well being?  No.  But that is my point.  People (mostly the media)... Hear something and then jump to conclusion that Tiger is being an ass or self centered because he didn't address the kids well being or concerns for his recovery/health.

I agree, I was just recapping what Brandel said. The Dan Patrick show is the best.

As TW gets better (only 50% there now?) and wins more, that'll shut the naysayers up ...

Brandal knows bashing Tiger gets him headlines so he keeps doing it.  Some guys intentionally go a different way from the crowds so they stand out, I think Brandal is one of them.

i heard the interview with brandel also, and i am a tiger worshiper.

i thought i was fair, and he praised tiger more than the criticized him.

The Golf Channel blows. I can't even listen to those yuppy's talk about golf for more than 30 seconds. Especially that douche bag with the bow tie. The dude on the golf fix is quite possibly the most annoying person on TV. Oh, release the club more? Sure thing buddy. The rest of the time it's infomercials or the euro tour (which I only watch when I need a nap).

Brandel hates Tiger !!! I have absolutely no respect for Brandel - what a fish! Tiger plays bad & Brandel is absolutely sure he's lost it for good, Tiger plays well and Brandel says he's obviously on the right track. Brandel is a joke sooo tired of his long winded pontificating. This guy is so in love with the sound of his own voice it's ridiculous!!! I wish Frank would man up and give him the bitch slap he deserves! STFU Brandel! You are not half as witty as you think you are!

Id be willing to bet Elin is still a bigger Tiger hater.

Nah, when it comes to wit Brandel is exactly at the 50% mark.

Hate is a crime. Another word please. The Mods should delete any thread started like this.

[bplewis24]

"Hate" is not a crime.  And on what grounds/basis should threads like this be deleted?

We're all getting too serious and it's not even winter.

Tiger's situation reminds me of Ben Hogan's: not overtly friendly with the media, believes his game should stand for itself, etc etc.

The problem that I have with Chamblee is that he never appears to acknowledge anything that Tiger does well. If he hits a poor shot, then he's lost it and he needs to find another way. If he hits a good shot, it's mostly silence. Chamblee, also, seems to operate on the old ball flight laws, and misses a lot of calls when he's describing a Tiger mis-hit. It's just frustrating that someone who was actually on tour, played well enough to be recognized, and seems to be an overall intelligent person, continually puts out poorly informed analysis.

At least she got a lot of money out of the deal

[rogergolf]

Brandel knew what he was saying and to choose to say it.  Balls for a little 13 inch neck who can hit the ball maybe 180,

well said

Chamblee comes of as a pompous and arrogant analyst, who shows no sensitivity to players whatsoever.  Since when were golf analysts given licenses to run their mouths? . .this guy needs a muzzle.
