Michelle Obama AND Tiger Woods: Holy Whattamunga?
| February 16, 2011 at 2:23 PM ESTIt appears that Tiger Woods is seriously back in the good graces of the world: he’s hobnobbing with First Lady Michelle Obama, and being invited out to the Cartoon Network’s award show “Hall of Game Awards.”
Tony Hawk will host the Awards Show and he’ll be in (mostly) good company with people such as Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Roger Federer, Rick Fox, Andrew W.K., and Venus Williams. I may not know sports, but I do know those names. And it’s nice that First Lady Michelle Obama will be there to support kids, physical activities (I’m withholding on making a Tiger Woods joke) and the Cartoon Network in general.
