Notah Begay was asked about the putting advice he gave Tiger recently.  In talking with Begay, Tigers quote of:

Quote:
"Well, a lot of media people didn't think I could win again, and I had to deal with those questions for quite a bit," Woods said Sunday. "It was just a matter of time; I could see the pieces coming together."

was brought into question.  Notah was then asked if he thinks Tiger keeps up with the media and listens to what they say.  He answered the question with:

Quote:
"He doesn't forget what people write," Begay said. "He probably has a list under his pillow that motivates him at night."

If it were me, silencing the media critics would be number two on my list....after silencing myself of course. I love it when the media comes out with the bold statements and then ultimately get proven wrong.  I can't stand the media....but that is just my opinion.

Me too, the media doesn't care about the fact, just getting viewership.  So the more outrageous or bold the more people will listen or engage.  No one reports the news any more! (just got done watching Sorkin's second episode of Newsroom )

He might not like the spotlight, or maybe he does, I don't know the guy. But he definitely would like to keep the endorsements which are intrinsically connected to said spotlight.

I try to never pass up an opportunity to pimp my blog. I wrote this story last year, which is somewhat on this topic -
