Scholarly Thinker Brendan Haywood Weighs In On Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren

I have tried so hard to keep TSB a Tiger-free zone since that last link dump, but I hope you'll allow me this one indulgence, because this kind of stupidity deserves highlighting.

Wizards center Brendan Haywood, who shot his mouth off about Stephon Marbury potentially being gay in a radio interview, took to his Yardbarker blog to give his eagerly anticipated thoughts on Tiger Woods.

And while I will acknowledge that what Tiger did was wrong and irresponsible, my biggest problem in this situation isn’t with Tiger, it’s with his wife, Elin Woods! They say you can’t put a price on love but someone obviously never told Elin that! After hearing of Tiger’s extramarital affairs, her first move wasn’t to go to her family for help; she went straight to the bank! If you haven’t heard, just days after this whole situation was brought to light, Elin had the couple’s prenuptial agreement restructured and immediately had $5 million dollars put inter her personal account – this just in order to stay in the marriage. [...]

All I’m saying is that Elin better be glad she’s married to Tiger Woods instead of Chris Brown or this whole story could’ve been reported differently!

Ah yes, that Elin is lucky Tiger didn't tee off on her face and make her look like this. I believe what Haywood just gave right there was the world's greatest "with all due respect," followed up by a rationalization that a lot of men would've beaten their women for ... wait, why would she have gotten hit again?
