Tiger Woods had a "Kobe Special" on his brain hours after what looks like a domestic dispute with his wife, Elin Nordegren -- this according to someone who spoke with Tiger on Friday.
During the phone conversation on Friday, Tiger told his friend, "I have to run to Zales to get a 'Kobe Special.'" The person on the other end of the phone asked Tiger what a "Kobe Special" was. The reply -- "A house on a finger."
During the conversation, Tiger said his wife had "gone ghetto" on him.

I think I would throw the brown flag on this one...
Gone Ghetto?
LMAO!
I wonder what happens between Tiger and his “friend” when the conversation they had makes it into the news within 24 hours. Sad.
Zales? Nah, I’m not buying this leak.
The size of the rock often indicates the size of the infraction. If it’s big enough to choke a dinosaur...well...Tiger be in the dawg house (woof woof).
Well, you probably can't pick up this....

at Zales.
OTOH, as a fully heterosexual male, Tiger probably doesn't know the name of any other jewelry store. I know I sure don't.
Oh fer cryin’ out loud. This sounds like something a Jr High school girl would make up!
And Zales? I mean, a diamond is a diamond but most celebrities and monied folk don’t shop at Zales. They go to exclusive, private jewelers. You don’t see anyone on the red carpet with ice from Zales.
Tiger would know. I’m sure her engagement/wedding band set didn’t come from Zales. And she probably has a bunch of rocks that he’s bought that came from an exclusive jeweler, not a mall chain store.
Funny though that jennyjenny and I picked up on the Zales thing! Must take a woman to know her gems don’t come from Zales!

Kobe has earrings to match.

Lakers Point guard Kobe Bryant went big and gave now wife Vanessa Bryant an enormous 7 carat Asscher cut Solitaire Engagement Ring after 6 months of dating. The couple officially married in 2001.

three days after Colorado prosecutors announced that he was being charged with the June 30 rape of a 19-year-old employee at a resort he had visited -- Kobe Bryant, his wife, Vanessa, and their 6-month-old daughter, Natalia, walked into an exclusive jewelry boutique in Santa Monica, Calif., PEOPLE reports in its latest issue. Their purpose for being there: to pick up the surprise that the NBA star had waiting for Vanessa -- a stunning 8-carat purple diamond ring worth about $4 million.
I did not know Swedish chicks could go ghetto.
This is hilarious.
Must be a holiday hangover at unnamedfriendphoneleaks.com.
Whoever his "friend" was may not have understood what "going Viking on him meant".
Anything that involves a Cadillac Escalade piloted by a caublicasion billionaire traveling less than 30 yards but still managing to destroy itself, a fire hydrant and palm tree coupled with a screaming mad Viking wench swinging an implement of her husband's profession in order to exact revenge on the aforementioned husband for hooking up with a skank, is going to be hilarious every time.
Someone earlier today mentioned the hay that Saturday Night Live is going to make with this. They're right.
That explanation is even more hilarious! roflol
I do not believe this conversation. If it is true, his wife will not even stand for the buyoff jewel. Sick.
LOL - that about sums it up! And very succinctly.
That’s the joke, that Kobe went to Zales to get a ring. Tiger was being sarcastic.
Great line.......LOL also
ZALES?! That ain’t gonna cut it Tiger. Elin won’t even put the club down for anything less than Tiffany. PAA-LEEZE! I can see he is new to that game.
guess the truth dribbles out over the years....
“During the conversation, Tiger said his wife had “gone ghetto” on him.”
Now I have this image of her chasing him around the house with a TEC-9, or a Glock held sideways.
The curse of the alpha male. Beta males will never understand (that’s not directed at you, OldDeckHand).

It looks like more than 30 yards to me... Also, no palm tree either... :-)

If you see that little golf cart on the street and the wagon behind it, it's right where the wagon is -- where you'll see the fire hydrant. And the tree is the one on the right side of that driveway.
guess the truth dribbles out over the years....
Well, actually, in situations like that, it doesn't matter what the truth is or whether it happened or not. What matters is what the little woman thinks... LOL ...
Even if it didn't happen, if she thinks it happened, you're in trouble... LOL ...
When Eldrick asks for an “OJ Special”, (SEAL knife? White Ford Bronco? black racist dumbass jury?) then you’ll really know something’s up.....
Like Tiger would ever shop at Zale’s. I call BS.
You and I think alike.
Black men who marry white women cite reasons for not marrying black women. This is a radio active topic.
If the "gone ghetto" comment gets media legs, expect a huge outcry from some circles.
As for the SUV accident, I actually think he was running for his life....
Hey, I dated a gal once who had a temper so bad I had to buy a safe to keep my guns locked up so she couldn't get to them.......LOL!
Add to the story the following statement from "the other woman" and one can see the damage that a bogus news story in a supermarket trash tabloid can have on a high profile celebrity.....
The "other woman" named in the story -- Rachel Uchitel -- calls the report "bulls**t."
LOL! "Zales, the diamond store"
...and as for jewelry, I'm thinking to myself if I can fool her with cubic zirconium.....;..
You and I don't know jack about jewelry but we sure know where to shop for tools don't we?
Ouch, that left a mark......LOL!
...that’s not such a great neighborhood in the photo...why would anybody pay millions to live 30 feet from the guy next door...you’d have no privacy, plus you’d hear his yard crew’s leaf blowers and lawn mowers all the time...why put a big house on a postage stamp lot?
Popcorn situation continues BUMP

I understand from other FReeper posts on this, that the developer gave Tiger the house for free, to live there. I bet it was to promote his development... :-)
I was suprised when I first saw that he only lives in a 2.6 million dollar house. Tiger is freakin RICH! Like rich rich. Why the cheap little house?
Right. As if Tiger Woods would go to Zales.
Well, if you put your McMansion on a huge lot...no one will be able to drive by and envy you.
So you buy the Biggest Mansion in Mansionland.
