HOLDING A TIGER BY THE TALE

This current jungle of opinions about Tiger Wood's silence tells us more about the tiger-chasers than the tiger. Lets face it -- this is not a sports story as much as a psychology story. And we're the patients...!

Water cooler gags and barbershop stories betray the usual neurosis of gossip. But neurosis leans toward downright psychosis when the major media and their jungle-hunter reporters fan out in all directions for the dirty little details they just know have to be hiding out there.

Different reports are now trickling back from the hunt and into the garish racks of checkout magazines. However, whatever conclusions we prefer to draw, lets remember that it's what lurks inside our minds and not his that constitutes the real story. This relentless story of little people desperately needing to feel larger if only they can bag a big one. You know, be the first to reach the wounded prey, and sniff their way to 15-minutes of fame.
