Woods says people don't watch hockey anymore
Pretty funny...

DETROIT -- Don't count Tiger Woods among those glued to their TVs during the Stanley Cup finals.

The world's top golfer appeared via teleconference on Monday, promoting August's PGA Championship at Oakland Hills in suburban Detroit.

Woods was asked if he was rooting for Detroit or Pittsburgh.

Woods started to laugh, then landed a zinger.

"I don't really care. Let's talk about the Dodgers," the California native said. "I don't think anybody really watches hockey anymore."

Ouch.

But the improved television ratings for this year's finals doesn't seem to match Woods' assessment.

"The National Hockey League has enormous respect for Tiger Woods, for all his accomplishments and for his work with the community," NHL spokesman Frank Brown said. "We think he's a great golfer."

As a side note, ESPN would have never posted that if they had the Cup finals and NBC didnt.

I love the NHL's response to his comments too.

Re: Woods says people don't watch hockey anymore
Well, golfers tend to be from the Sun Belt, so I'm not surprised they're indifferent to hockey (Mike Weir excepted, of course).

Yeah, I mean it's not like cities that don't even have a hockey team are talking about hockey...

Re: Woods says people don't watch hockey anymore
I personally don't understand the appeal of something like golf over hockey from a television standpoint. How can anyone who will watch the U.S. Open say it is more exciting and better television than what we've seen out of the Stanley Cup Finals so far? Or the Dodgers for that matter.

People that want to get a story that isn't there.
