Hank Haney came to Tiger's defense in this report:

Hank Haney, Woods' former swing coach, who has been one of Woods' most vocal critics since they stopped working together in 2010, told the Golf Channel that he never saw anything out of the ordinary in Galea's treatment of Woods.

"I was there and watched the whole procedure," Haney said. "There was never anything that went into Tiger Woods 's body that didn't come out of his body. They take blood out, they spin it, they inject the plasma back in. I totally believe that Tiger Woods has never taken any performance-enhancing drugs."

Hank has been consistent on this issue, to his credit.

Also, that report is weird. It doesn't say that Tiger used PEDS, just that he paid a Galea and the other doctor for treatment. It's not quite the bombshell its being made out to be. I'm sure if the author had found any evidence of Tiger using PED's they would've explicitly said so.

And if Tiger DID do anything shady Hank Haney would've LOVED to break the news.

Yeah, I think this is a bit of a non-story. Folks wanting to create smoke where there is none.

Any athlete that performs at the top of their sport will now be questioned about PED's.  As a NY'er it was funny because for years people speculated that ARod used them, but the defense was he didn't show any of the normal signs in the way Bonds and others did.  As we learned, PED's aren't just about getting bigger and stronger they are also beneficial to healing and recovery.

I suspect the PED's cloud will always surround Tiger, much as it did for ARod and Lance Armstrong since it's impossible to prove they didn't take them and there's always the possibility that at some point someone will come out with proof that they did.

It's good to see Haney take the high road with Tiger this time.

Want some clicks on your article, stick Tiger's name in the headline. That's basically all I saw there.

      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.

      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?
