Azazello1313 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Probably doesn't make him THE biggest A-hole out there, but it's pretty disturbing that you routinely hear that Tiger Woods doesn't tip. I've heard he doesn't tip the clubhouse guys at the tournaments (which is common practice to tip them from what I understand) and also at restaraunts. i know what h8 and spain would say..

Skrappy1 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) it's pretty disturbing that you routinely hear that Tiger Woods doesn't tip. Come on, this guy is worth several hundred million dollars, is it too much to ask to throw a few bucks at someone who is making about $3.50 an hour without tips? What a prick. I'll have to ask my Godson. He's a p/t bartender at Medinah. Here's a couple of things I found real quick doing a google: New York, NY (WFN) -- Tiger Woods may be a great golfer but his skill as a tipper isn't quite on par. According to "Travel Holiday" magazine, Woods is notorious for being one of the biggest celebrity cheapskates around. In fact, one waiter at the Hyde Park Grill in Columbus, Ohio, claims Tiger once spent $700 at the restaurant -- but didn't leave even a penny tip for his waiter. http://www.ncbuy.com/news/2002-11-19/1005487.html You might be surprised to learn that there isn't much negative stuff on golfers, although one poster complains that Tiger Woods left him a $4 tip at Tony Roma's in Orlando for a $125, two-and-a-half-hour meal. But that was a number of years ago. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/alan.katz/2...rity_cheapskate Tipper's Name: Tiger woods Where it happened: Las Vegas, NV Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $2000.00 / $20.00 / 1% A 1% tip on a $2,000 dollar bill?! http://www.bitterwaitress.com/std/index.html?detail=1&id=478 Again, I've heard that repeatedly from many different places. I'm not a waiter or anything, but stuff like that bothers me to hear. Edited August 24, 2006 by Skrappy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Teddy Bruschi Not if you saw the "Make-a-Wish" special on ESPN featuring Bruschi. He's now one of my favorite athletes. Very compassionate and real. You can usually tell when a person is faking. We was not. Plus, after he had his stroke, there was a lot of coverage, interviews, video clips. He seems like a real solid human being and family man, one that has not let his fame go to his head. IMHO, he is what is right with athletes today. My vote goes Randy Johnson...and I am a Yankee fan.

All Mr. Pink jokes aside, I think that should at least get him an honorable mention in this award category. What a prick. Yes I have heard this a few times as well. I also have heard that he's a pretty nice guy who if approached will sign an autograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogg Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Well, if you believe the rumors it might be Mike Piazza. Oh, wait, did you ask who is, or who has? Sorry, bad joke, but it was just too easy. FOGG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was J/K. Oh and ill beat spain and h8 to it. I've waited tables long enough to make this generalization. Tiger Woods is black. Black people are notoriously bad tippers. You want fair representation, ask a black waitress/waiter, theyll tell ya the same. I dont presume to know why. I worked at a restaraunt down here in FL that the Williams sisters used to come to all the time. Multi-Millionaire athelete/celebrities and no one wanted to wait on them.

BUT a guy who wrote a biography on Bonds, and has talked to people close to him, and researched it is certainly entitled to share his opinion on the guy. Bonds is hard to beat. Here's a guy that everyone agrees is just a miserable prick to be around, he takes people who has been loyal to him and throws them under the bus, cheats on his wives, hell, cheats at his own profession by taking every performance enhancing substance known to man, then when the evidence is overwhelming that he did so, thumbs his nose at the world and continues to go about things as if nothing is the matter, dragging a once proud sport thru the mud. He's both the most recognizable icon in the sport, and at the same time, its biggest disgrace and best example of everything that is wrong with MLB. His presence is a disgrace to the game. Say what you want about T.O., or any athlete that's been an ass to the media, or tested positive for drugs, or had a DUI, none of them hold a candle to Bonds. No one has damaged a sport like he has. It's hard to imagine anyone ever being worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godtomsatan Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 No one has damaged a sport like he has. It's hard to imagine anyone ever being worse. 458,891 people attended 15 MLB games last night. 459,146 people attended 15 MLB games on August 23, 2005. 369,552 people attended 14 MLB games on August 23, 2001. How has the sport been damaged by Bonds again? Has there ever been a time in your lifetime where the "credibility" of the game of baseball not been called into question by sportwriters? Fact is that people don't care. At least the people who enjoy baseball don't care, because they still go to games, even more than they did 5 years ago.

Pope Flick Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) I'm going to say Bud Selig. He's the guy who let the whole steroid thing happen, all in order to recover from his inability to prevent the players strike in 1994. You can't condemn the monster (Bonds) and ignore his Frankenstein (Selig). It's under his watch and with hsi tacit approval that the game and it's record have had their historical moorings removed and will forever skew the book in what is already known as "The Steroid Era." That's not even mentioning his squirrely dealings in owning the Brewers AND his All Star Tie from a few years ago. The former is more evidence of his a-holeness and the latter more a measure of his incompetence. Also, I'm sick of interleague and want to see it shelved.

Ruffian Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I like T.O. here--from a "destruction of team" point of view, he may be the best that ever lived. You gotta wake up early in the morning to turn a Superbowl caliber team into the trainwreck that he left in Philly. If I had to choose based on personality, I have to say we can't forget ol' Dennis Rodman. He considered suicide once. This gazillionaire whose only purpose on any team was to jump high, grab the ball and hand it to someone else, was sad about his tough life. Yeah, poor guy...how did he sleep at night. Oh wait--I know how he slept. He slept next to CARMEN ELECTRA. Truly an epic A-Hole. Bonds makes a great case too, although I do think the media baits him.
