Too soon for Tiger Woods cover?
Check out the cover of the latest issue of ESPN The Magazine:
The news of Woods’ repeated infidelity and subsequent stint in a rehab clinic for sex addition broke less than a year ago and since then Woods has attempted to rehab his image.
But I think the words “NOBODY’S PERFECT” next to a shot of Tiger looking off into the distance with the sun rising behind him like he’s Jesus or something is a little inappropriate. The phrase “nobody’s perfect” is good for a husband to use when he forgets to take the trash out or when he rips a stinky fart but can’t blame the dog because it’s not in the room.
I realize that the cover and story about an athlete’s quest for perfection, but the image of Tiger still brings to mind scandal, and that’s not going to change for a while.
So what do you think? Appropriate or inappropriate?

I don’t have a problem with it, and I don’t see the jesus reference. As soon as I looked at it, I saw a guy possibly in a moment of reflection on the mistakes he’s made, looking at a new day (morning sun) and to start over. He’s trying to move on, but for some reason the media just can’t let him. If only their private lives weren’t so private.
I agree with t-bone that’s the image I got too
Tiger is moving on you ought to too
I think John was being facetious about the Jesus comment.
I actually had the same response (i.e. this seems a little soon). Granted, I don’t know when the appropriate time is to feature someone on your cover in Jesus-like tones (kidding) when he cheated on his wive with 12 porn stars and 19 strippers, but it still seems soon to me.
Max – it’s great that Tiger’s moving on but to tell John to do the same is missing the point of his role. His job is to throw an interesting topic out there for debate and have an opinion himself.
It’s not too soon for a cover with Tiger. He is still the most interesting player on the tour.
