RUSH: I just checked the e-mail during the break and I\u2019m being castigated by a few people for telling jokes or making fun of Tiger Woods and his situation. People think I ought to be a little bit more sympathetic, given that I have been under this kind of scrutiny so much and understand it. Look, I\u2019ve met Tiger Woods one time, it was way back at the AT&amp;T Pro-Am, was on the putting green. I think it was Poppy Hills. It might have been Spyglass. But regardless, he was very nice, and I had a chance to tell him — it was 2000 or 2001 because I remember I told him how much I admired his focus during that incredible season he had of 2000, and other than I\u2019ve never seen him again and I\u2019ve never talked to him. <\/line><\/line>I know what happened here. I know what happened. I\u2019ll tell you exactly what happened. I\u2019m going to tell you what happened in a psychological sense. I don\u2019t know the details of all this stuff, but it\u2019s very hard — and a lot of professional athletes are this way — but the moment that they are discovered to have superior athletic talent with the possibility of getting a college scholarship or even moving on to professional sports, baseball, football, basketball, what have you, they are coddled, they are treated as special. When that starts happening to you at a young age, when you are perfect, when doors are opened for you, when obstacles are moved out of the way for you, it can\u2019t help have a cumulative effect over the course of your life and it starts very young. You know, Tiger, the first time people saw Tiger Woods was when he was three with Bob Hope and his dad, or Johnny Carson, somebody, Mike Douglas, I forget who it was. But Tiger\u2019s been known and thought to be special, and you can\u2019t help but think that you are when that starts happening to you at that age. The world tells you from the time that you are discovered that you are perfect and wonderful and special. <\/line><\/p>\n

And then you get married. And marriage is a whole different thing. That one special person finds the truth, you are not really perfect, and you are not really wonderful, and all that everybody else thinks about you is not true, and then you are not treated that way, because a spouse, you have a relationship with a spouse that is going to be different than the relationship with anybody else. So if you\u2019re not getting that treatment from the person closest to you, you\u2019re going to go out and find it. You\u2019re going to go out and find it wherever you can because you become accustomed to it. What do you do when you expect to be treated as though you\u2019re perfect and wonderful and you\u2019re not, what do you do? You go seek it where you will. <\/p>\n

And I\u2019m trying to say something without saying it, I hope you can figure it out on your own, but can you say groupies here? You take it from there. I mean, he\u2019s not prowling the halls at Harvard or MIT. He\u2019s prowling the halls of nightclubs. So that\u2019s what I think. I\u2019ve seen it. I\u2019ve worked with professional athletes. We\u2019re all a product of who we are and how we\u2019re raised. I\u2019m just speculating here, but, as I\u2019ve always said, folks, don\u2019t doubt me. Remember, I\u2019m documented to be almost always right now 99.5% of the time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
