Yes. That man is going to die sooner rather than later. Very sad case.

Another Blind Gossip item from today. Hmmm, now who could this be... Wife Gets More Bad News About Mr. Perfect As if this famous athlete didn’t have enough dang problems right now, you can add a couple more to the list. His wife knew that he had relied on a certain substance in the past to relieve his extreme bouts with performance anxiety. However she did not know until a couple of days ago that he has been experimenting with other substances that could get flagged during testing. The second problem he has is his penchant for women who are paid handsomely to be discreet about their extra-curricular activities with him. Word is that he likes to be punished for his bad behavior. He was subjected to harsh discipline from an early age, and he tells the women that he needs them to continue that tradition in order for him to be perfect. But don’t expect either of these habits to come to the forefront in the coming months. Everyone is getting paid off to lie or to keep their trap shut.

From Tiger's website this morning... " 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."

Privacy was especially important to him when he was sneaking around, wasn't it? So in other words, he got caught and is now begging for privacy so he can keep his public image and maybe, just maybe, keep his wife from taking away half of his fortune. I say "pffft" on him.

Totally agree, Hukd. He grew up in the public spotlight, so it's not like it should be a shock that his "transgressions" are top news right now. I've never really been a fan of Tiger, so I don't know what his squeaky clean public image is or isn't. But I'm sorry, if you do something and get caught, then it's time to pay the piper. Begging for privacy now? Yeah, good luck with that.

I heard a tape of his voicemail to one of the girls (there are apparently three, so far) in which he says his wife went thru his phone and will probably be calling her. He pleaded with her to change her phone to read just a number instead of her name. Blech.

Yeah, heard that, too. Had to laugh that he actually had the balls to call her up and ask her to change her caller ID to just a number.

I'm praying for this family. I think it is worth saving. Hopefully he's learned his lesson and will mend his ways. People can do the right thing and he has 3 beautiful reasons to do so.

I wasn't going to post this but now that it's all coming out in the wash....I know someone in Orlando who is close to him, both professionally and socially, and it's been no secret within the golf circle that he's a real hound dog. He's very, very arrogant too apparently; Tiger has had a superb PR team thus far, which has kept his image spotless, so he's had a great run. But I hope this is a wake-up call and he stops with the 'I need a Kobe-ring to shut the wife up' crap and learns what's really important to him. It's just sad how many men screw up a good thing, all for some new booty.

What amazes me is that people regard him as "Mr Perfect." Look, I'm a fan of Tiger and I only watch golf if I'm assured he's in the tourney and has a reasonable chance of doing well in it. And you don't have to be a huge golf fan to see that he has quite a temper when he plays: I've seen him curse at people in the gallery when he's on the fairway many many times. I love watching him, though, because like watching Roger Federer or Michael Jordan, it's always great to see someone at the highest possible skill level doing what they do best. But he is a prima donna. The worst part of all of this, to me, was that ESPN was very lazy about this story. They are usually good not only a covering sports stories, but in driving them, as well. With the Tiger story, they were incredibly timid.

Two down, one to go? In the last couple of weeks, scandal has rocked the 'Gillette Champions'. I bet Roger keeps a very low profile for awhile ...

There has to be something psychological with him. He's clearly got deep issues that go beyond the cheating. I wouldn't be surprised if she divorces him.

it doesn't matter if he is perfect, a hound dog, a great guy or what...imho, we don't have any right at all to know the details of his marriage or affairs. he is not holding himself out to be a moral authority or role model. he is a golfer who has done well, made himself alot of money and his sponsers alot of money.

Oh I don't know. We talk about Brad Pitt's personal life, and he doesn't say that he's a moral authority or role model either. And even if Tiger doesn't say he's a role model, he did let Nike do the "I'm Tiger Woods" ads, which implicitly embraced the idea of Mr Woods as, precisely, a role model for young children.

not saying you can't talk about it, but for some reason the way the press is attacking this story demanding to know the details of the wreck even before all the affair stuff came out just sits wrong with me.

I think that's probably because some people in the press knew about the affairs but never had a rationale for discussing them before. The accident gave them that opportunity and they have run with it. I think it's also true that the kismet of the crash, which came a couple days after the National Enquirer ran a story about Mr Woods' affair, made it instantaneously juicy.

I think that I would leave a spouse who had cheated on me that many times.

I always thought my ex-husband was cheating when we were married, but never found any evidence. After I left him, I did find a letter from another woman written to him in the interim in which we were committed, but not engaged. He had been serving overseas in the Gulf War and had apparently taken up with a young woman from Dubai. From the letter, it was obvious she was expecting to come back to the USA to be with him after the war, and had no idea I was waiting at home for him. He hadn't saved any of the letters I had written him, but he had saved hers. That, on top of the infidelity, still hurt. Plus that it wasn't a one-night stand but a long going affair was hard to find out also. When I asked him about it, he laughed at me. It's weird how much it still hurt to find out all of that even though by then I had walked away because of a crapload of other stuff.
