Tiger Woods behavior was certainly odd, and it was news more because of his clean, controversy free image( bah bye to that) than anything else. Whatever domestic disturbance his family had is their business. Nobody got hurt and everybody goes a little off kilter now and again. Shows over, move along.

To me it's non issue, but due to his billion dollar income for endorsements he has to at least say something that makes sense only because people bought tickets to see him play in his own tournament in which he now will be a non show...and people paid to see him play!

That is the negative side of making a lot of money the way he does, now he has an obligation to these people why for real he is a non show and give them their money back if they don't want to go anymore since he won't be there...

Woods' entire life is devoted to hitting a ball across a field of manicured grass, and because he has wasted his entire existence obsessing over hitting this ball, he has become the best in the world at it. So a story about him having domestic problems is a waste of air time.

I'll bet the MSM plays more about his current domestic strife then they have over climategate, or investigating and reporting on what is actually in the healthcare bills.

Were it anyone else, it would have gotten three lines in the back of the paper. It was a fender bender,and of course, no one else in the entire country has ever had one of those-- it was a slow news day folks.

I don't care about anybodys private life as long as they aren't committing a crime that hurts others.
We never get the the true facts anyway. Just a coverup story from people with enough money to pay for hiding the facts.
In my opinion this was a domestic fight. The window in the vehicle was probably broken by his old lady swinging at it in anger, not to get him out.
Why would he lose control pulling out of a driveway he had exited hundreds of times fast enough to lose control of the vehicle. He was either very PO'd or trying to get away from something.
What the national media is reporting doesn't make any sense. And if it dont make any sense it probably aint true.
Cnn, Fox, Msnbc, are all very good at beating dead horses and trying to make news instead of reporting it. I pretty much stopped watching national newcasts during the presidential campaign.
I just watch local news for my area. If anything important nationally is going on they can only give it a couple minutes instead of shoving it down our throats for hours unless it is somekind of national emergency.
And Tiger's little accident and domestic problems damn sure aint no national emergency.
Thanks, how true!!!

The media can not help themselves on feeding on families. They love scandal and destroying people and their families. They do it to anyone the consider a public person. they should remember kids and families are involved and just leave it alone
