Title: Show of hands: Who did NOT know Tiger chews? Post by: MFAWG on February 13, 2012, 07:05:00 PM I thought this was common knowledge? Or did people just think his lower lip changed shape every once in a while?

As a recovering dipper myself, I can usually easily spot (former) fellow travelers on the road to devastating head and neck cancers*. So he must hide it pretty well. Which is commendable because something like that should never become common knowledge. Especially given that a lot of pro athletes seem to celebrate the habit. The Lenny Dykstra's of the world. After growing up, getting married and settling into a nice professional job, I did it for years as quietly as I dare, around the house and at work. I finally quit several years ago, when blader jr was reaching the age where I felt he would notice, I would no longer be able to hide it from him, and lying to him about it would be even worse. We were spending a lot of time on the ball fields together, where I learned to dip as a kid myself, and I didn't want him to know. So, yeah, I didn't know that about Tiger, and too bad he does it, but props to him for being discreet. *do NOT ask the intergoogles for images using this search term Title: Re: Show of hands: Who did NOT know Tiger chews?

Title: Re: Show of hands: Who did NOT know Tiger chews? Post by: MFAWG on February 14, 2012, 07:05:24 PM I don't know what he chews specifically, looks to be some kind of Skoal or Copenhagen type product.
I'm honestly surprised that alot of people were caught unawares? He doesn't make a show, but it's been pretty obvious a few times. Title: Re: Show of hands: Who did NOT know Tiger chews? Post by: twoiron on February 15, 2012, 12:14:52 PM hmmm, interesting...
From the few times I've noticed, I figured he was just chewing Hubba Bubba.. Title: Re: Show of hands: Who did NOT know Tiger chews? Post by: Blader on February 16, 2012, 11:17:32 AM What a coincidence. Tony Gwynn just had a hunk of the inside of his face removed.
