See that ad above? Well, you won’t be seeing it any longer. Or any others like it. On Tuesday, CNBC reported that PepsiCo’s Gatorade division is discontinuing its Gatorade Tiger Focus sport beverage. PepsiCo said the decision had nothing to do with the recent hoopla surrounding the golfer. Pepsico said that it was part of a streamlining strategy the company came up with months ago. Like my main Tommy Flannagan always says, “”Yeahhh! That’s the ticket!” Tiger Focus was the first Gatorade drink to be named specifically for an athlete. Maybe they should rename it. How does Tiger Schtupus sound? No? Me either. Best I could do on such short notice. It’s better than Tiger’s doing. Marketers have pulled all Tiger Woods ads from prime-time television broadcast networks and 19 cable channels following all this hanky-panky. That’s some mighty costly hanky-panky. Tiger is projected to surpass $1 billion in career earnings by 2010, 90% of which will have come from endorsements. Something tells by 1011 that number might be a little lower. My heart aches.
Peace out Tiger. Six Two and evn!

hehe… I was wondering what took them so long.
Dude, did you check out my Tiger Woods Driving School video on http://sportschump.net
It's quite tasteless.
Josh, seriously, c'mon bro…let's get real, think about it: this is all media hype, during a down news cycle, just trying to bring another brutha down. Either that, or Elin must be one grade-A bee-atch. Think about how big a C she musta been to force, FORCE, Tiger into the arms of what 11, 12 cocktail waitresses? I saw their picture, with the two kids and the dog…that's a happy family. My take is one of three things: Elin is manic-depressive, Elin's twin is actually an evil twin (it happens in the soaps all the time), or this is all a plot to get Tiger on the cover of every blog, magazine, and news show just so he can have an even bigger redemption story next year. I mean, did you ever taste Tiger Gatorade…it was awful.
How bout "AXE" commercials? He's a natural
funny stuff man. when did you get so fancy?
i'll tell you what, he goes out to the next course and busts out some 65s and brings home some hardware, he'll be bigger than ever. as for me, i'm all for the hype. tiger sells. i get more hits off the tiger nonsense these days than anything else. gatorade's stupid.
Brilliant!
Even better, Geico, they could give him a qoute on his accident in 15 minutes or less..
lakes, whats up brother! that's perfect.
