  1. Two Accenture ads:

    "It's what you do next that counts."

  2. Personally, I hope that he returns to golf, preferably with some public comment or apology, and they get on with their lives. I certainly am willing to consider forgiveness, but no one involved has asked me yet.

     

    It's not entirely clear to me why Woods owes me, or anyone other than his family, an apology. No corpses, no dead dogs, not even a needle tract on his arm in this story.

  3. Just as I was getting bored with the endless stream of bimbettes, Playgirl drops a bombshell.

    Edit: It's not entirely clear to me why this story has had such legs. True, Tiger's been something of a dog, but that's true of any number of other athletes. Didn't Magic Johnson brag about screwing hundreds of camp followers?

  4. Tiger's two statements:

    As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.

     

    This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.

    This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

    The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false. This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.

  5. And who will track down those drug-addled hookers first, TMZ or Ben-Jamin's blog??

     

    My money's on TMZ although a few bucks to a member of the Enquirer's staff would probably get you names and phone numbers.

     

    I'm of two minds on this. Part of me is happily gawking away :o and part of me is rooting for TW to successfully glare down the media vultures. :cool: Neither part thinks TW owes me squat by way of explanation.

     

    Charlie: So far as I can remember, Tiger has stated only two things: 1) The Enquirer is printing garbage. 2) The rest is none of our business. Neither statement strikes me as an obvious lie.

  6. Three good reasons to tough it out:

     

    > Who the hell wants to admit his wife clawed up his face, ran him out of his house at 2:30 in the morning and bashed on his SUV with a golf club, all over blond bimbettes strung over three continents?

     

    > Mrs. Woods is a good candidate for a nine figure property settlement.

     

    > Tiger is deeply attached to his kids.

  7. And as a celebrity -- and role model -- he has a bigger obligation here.

     

    Much as I suspect that I'm going to enjoy gawking this Tiger Woods kerfuffle, I try not to confuse my curiosity with his obligation. :rolleyes: Watching him successfully pull off a stonewall would be as much fun as seeing a video of Mrs. Woods chasing the SUV down the driveway with the golf club. Well, almost. :D

  8. He's the objective of our attention as we watch and wonder how he'll deal with the first truly unplayable lie of his career.

     

    Well, so far his answer seems to be "IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS!" If that's how he plans to play it though, he might want to lay off denouncing rumors about this or that specific blond. ;) Just makes the press dig deeper.

  9. One does wonder if Boeing is shopping its future when it allows potential competitors to acquire expertise in the design and manufacture of critical sub-assemblies. :(

     

    Aviation economics have never made much sense to me, so I won't ask how FEDEX plans to make money on the 380 if there's no place to land them. :confused:

  10. KMEM: No criticism of Boeing's final (:D) product intended; just remembering all that bragging about how their superior design process would minimise any production delays on the 787. That was what 2 or 3 years ago now? Hahahahahaha!

     

    Lucky: Drag me into that God-awful train crossing thread & I will pluck out every single hair in your nose. S-L-O-W-L-Y :p
