    • Right on schedule 2nd excerpt from Haney book released
  • 3/17/12
Contrary to what some of you here believe, Hank Haney is not an idiot. He was with Tiger long enough to know that TW's legal team would have him sued six ways to Sunday if this book was anything close to the "hit piece" you guys claim it to be. You can choose to disbelieve anything that's unflattering to Tiger, but the reality is that what Haney is saying is likely all true, at least the parts that describe actual events, conversations, etc.
There are other parts of the book where Haney is offering his opinions about things, and those are open to conjecture. I can see where tension may have crept into the relationship, and personal feelings can color our viewpoints on things. You can call Haney a traitor for coming out with this book, but any unbiased observer would likely agree that what he says in the book is the fruit of his actual opinions and feelings.
At the press conference where the terse exchange between Tiger and Miceli took place, it can be argued that Tiger didn't want to discuss anything about the book to avoid giving it any publicity, and that's fair. Of course, if that was his goal, he only helped publicize it more. But you could also make the case that he refused to talk about it because there were at least some uncomfortable truths there.
Knowing how Tiger has strictly controlled media access through the years over his private life, I just don't see him not taking some sort of legal action if indeed there are mistruths or distortions of the facts contained in Haney's book. Regardless of what any of us think, the book is sure to be a big seller.

It's going to be a big seller among people who hate Tiger. Many of which for some reason come to this board. Haney has no right to say how Tiger felt when he has no idea what Tiger's innermost thoughts are. I also don't know why you addressed your post to me. I will never read this book and find it hilarious that Haney is crying over popsicles. Bye.

lol. Yeah it would be interesting. I also love how these trolls come on here and honestly think we care what they say about the book. If they want to read it fine but it's our right to not like the book or Haney. As usual trolls can't understand any opinions except thier own.

Just in case you get any more ideas of posting to me you don't have too. If you want to think Haney is some great guy for "exposing" Tiger good for you. But I don't buy one thing he said. Bye.

Where did I say that I think Haney is a great guy? Unlike you, apparently, I just don't think Haney's goal was to do a hatchet job on Tiger. You can believe what you want to believe. Bye.

I am a huge Tiger fan but I agree with your assessment.  However it is disturbing that HH would publish Tiger's comments on other pro olfers because he still has to play with them and against them  For instance, Ian Poulter is on Tiger's Albany team in the Tavisock cup coming up this monday.

And I think that it must be noted by ALL tiger fans that this was HH intrepetation PRIOR to the scandal.  Afterwards, I think Tiger is much changed inside.  And I don't think he is letting his fame get to his head like he did before.

Stonewall, how ironic that you, of all people, should tell someone else to get a life. Ironic, indeed.
I'm well aware that Jaime Diaz, a well-respected writer, "helped" Haney put the book together. I dare say that Diaz would not have done so if he didn't feel comfortable with the subject matter and its intent. As usual, though, you don't address the real issues. If there are actual non-truths in this book, why hasn't Tiger's legal team sprung into action?

Thanks, granny. I understand your concerns and they're certainly valid. I'm sure Tiger is a changed person after the scandal. Going through something like that, with all of the related media scrutiny, would pretty much change any of us.

Overheard Hank Haney crying while I was hiding in the bushes at Tigers:

WAH! WAH! WAH!!! I am going to go tell my mommy that Tiger won't give me a popsicle.

Next Excerpt: WAH! WAH! WAH!!!! Tiger won't give me the time of day!

What goes around Mr. Hiney comes around!!!!!!!!
