He got in the crash in a private gated community. I am not sure the police should be involved at all.

Glad to see Woods got slapped with a very steep 164 buck fine. Hit him where it hurts:roll:! And more than enough to pay for replacement of a fire hydrant:roll:, of course! He'll never want to do that again!:roll:

Lets see, $110,000,000 - 164 = $109,999,836. May have to cut down on the Chinese takeout food!

Would you favor treating someone differently because they're rich?

Several European countries do it that way for speeding tickets and other traffic offenses.
Not sure I agree with it, but it is done. From each according to their ability, and to each according to a comlex algorithm that takes teh idea of personal responsibility out of most everything.

What were we talking about again?

There's merit to that idea, IMHO. The possibility of getting a fine should be a deterrent, obviously a $100 fine is a much bigger deterrent to someone who makes $300/wk than to someone who makes $2000/wk...

I knew it:

"Hey, it's, uh, it's Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Um, can you please, uh, take your name off your phone. My wife went through my phone. And, uh, may be calling you. If you can, please take your name off that and, um, and what do you call it just have it as a number on the voicemail, just have it as your telephone number. That's it, OK. You gotta do this for me. Huge. Quickly. All right. Bye."

Kaching, kaching, kaching for that girl.

The real question is, if you had a mistress that you were married to in your dream and in that dream you found her being double teamed by Derek Jeter and David Boreanaz.........would you tell anyone? Especially the mistress? :blink:

Damn right. Kids don't need role models. They need hard labor and a good belt beating every now and again. I can't wait to be a father.

LMAO! Good one!

Again...the guys has it all. Why the need to cheat? If he's that much into having a bunch of different women...why get married?

Power corrupts

Bill Clinton, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson.........the list goes on and on.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

None of us knows what the true story is and it's not our business. Regardless, that's a pretty big thing to do. I commend him for acknowledging letting down his family and committing to working toward being a better husband and father. Everybody screws up; but he's owning the situation and making amends. And he deserves privacy.

I agree he deserves his privacy but the truth is he wont get it and that's too bad. As for the appology----what else was he supposed to do

Nothing to do with power. You can add John Anyone to that list. Maybe I am being cynical, but I suspect the majority of people in this country have cheated in some way at one point in their lives.

Unrelated, cheating does not have much to do with looks so those that say why would he possibly cheat on a woman with the looks that Elin have don't have a grasp on what would actually drive someone to take that type of action.

I dispute Tiger's objection to public involvement in his life and his issues with the press. Personally, I think tabloid America is disgusting. But regardless of how any one feels about tabloid America, everyone knows that by definition a celebrity will receive press and that they should act accordingly knowing that if they do something that the press thinks is immoral, the tabloids are going to have a field day. Tiger suggesting that the press should back off and let him and his family deal with the issues is terrible. Tiger made his bed and now he can lie in it and so can his family (though I actually feel bad for his family, but Tiger should feel the guilt from his family going through it too).

On the flip side, Tiger is going to be damn mad next year on tour and I suspect he will be winning. A lot.

Oh great, here comes all the role model crap

Yep, he is a role model..... and he had a big hand in doing this himself. Every time he endorses a product, he is putting his reputation on the line, be it fabricated or real. Once somebody goes hawking a product or a message to the media he become part of that circus.


On another note... some of these post are funny :smash:

A second woman came out of the wood work today claiming to have an extended affair with Tiger a couple of years ago right around the time his first child was born. She also claims to have proof. I am wondering how long this list will get.
