Is Whitney Houston Joining 'The X Factor'?
Turn A Sweater Into A Sweet Valentine's Day Gift
Now that Tiger Woods has made the startling admission that he is less than perfect and acts like most men do when it comes to the opposite sex, let's all get off his back and let him repair his damaged relationship with his family.
Woods, possibly the most famous athlete in the world, announced that he "let his family down" and committed "transgressions" in the wake of a bizarre car crash/domestic abuse incident outside his Florida home last week.
Rachel Uchitel, the woman who Tiger is alleged to have carried on an affair with, vehemently denied it, but another woman, Jaimee Grubbs, who no one had heard of prior to Tigergate, has slithered out the woodwork to tell all who will listen that she had an ongoing affair with Woods and kept some steamy text messages to prove it.
Woods never admitted exactly what happened with who in his announcement, but we've all seen this act before.
It's a story that has been played out in the most powerful corridors of the world, from the White House to million-dollar playgrounds of the rich and famous.
For these men, the normal rules of life don't apply. They don't wait in lines for service like the rest of us. They don't even have to pay for many of the luxuries of life they enjoy. They fly around the world in first class like we take a drive across town. They don't even know what the word NO means.
So when the urge for sex with a beautiful woman (or not so beautiful, in some cases) is combined with opportunity, they do it. This isn't meant to absolve Tiger for his screw up. It's just that all the punishment should be dealt out by is wife and little daughters. The rest of us need to butt out.
And with the reports of what happened that first night during Tigergate-Tiger's wife reportedly wielded a golf club at the golfer-the penalty at home may be worse.
Tiger may need to take some pointers from NBA player Kobe Bryant, who also publicly admitted to his own transgressions a few years back. In forgiveness, Kobe bought a diamond ring for his wife that cost more than most homes.
Right now I wouldn't mind being an upscale jeweler in Tiger's neighborhood. He might have a big order coming in the next few days.

There have been three women so far, who've all been suspected of having affairs with this married man. Trying to figure out why he did it is a no-brainer. Tiger's never attempted to represent himself as some type of spiritual guru or clergymen, he's never even publicly embraced being black (unfortunately, he's the only person in the world who doesn't believe he is) So, being a normal mortal person, he's certainly forgiven on that level but he's wealthy, weak, and white women rule in his book, so as a man, he was destined to be targeted.
It's these women who were willing to demean themselves just for the opportunity to be with someone with star status, even if the man has a wife, that's a head scratcher. If you purposely and deliberately seek intimate liasons with a person you know is spoken for, you're just as guilty as the adulterer himself.
Ladies, stop desperately going after what is not yours to have, what you will never attain through such deceitful tactics, and realize that you deserve someone who's able to be there for you emotionally as well as physically.

He is just a man with the same faults as other people. This is a personal issue between him and his wife that requires no public explanation. We should all have enough issues in our own lives to keep us busy without prying and poking into his life.
I hope he goes back to keeping as much private as possible.

Yea, there will be another 3 black kids fatherless .........at least 1 good thing with Tiger's, they won't be a welfare drain on society like the rest.
I would like to see statistics of fatherless homes by race on welfare.
Hey, you get a black news site, you get black news.
Can't have it both ways!

Wake up people!!! I believe that none of the posted apologies are coming from Tiger. Why is it that he would take the time to incriminate himself and apologize for marital indiscretions online, airing everything for the public, but won't make a simple statement to police? Why isn't Tiger speaking to someone live? Could it be that he is physically unable to speak personally? Could it be that someone is desperate to keep him from telling what really happened? Could it be that he was drugged and awoke to someone beating him? Could it be that he wrecked his UV in his own yard because he drugged and was trying to get away from the person--or persons who were attacking him? Could his attackers be his wife and mother-in-law and that he was trying to run to safety? Someone should get to Tiger Wood's home and check on him. This entire 'accident' is suspicious. Strange that his so-called affairs are surfacing at the same time as this crazy accident. And why would his little wife run out of the house with a golf club and beat out the BACK window to save him? And how did the little woman manage to pull this big man out of the car? I think Ms. Woods is the one posting these incriminating apologies online. This whole thing is contrived to discredit the man and make his angelic wife look innocent. Something is fishy in Florida. Reminds me of what happened with Anna Nicole. I sure hope the law doesn't turn a vague eye on this incident and allow tragedy to befall this great golfer. It seems a lot of black sports figures are falling mysteriously during this time in history. Huh?

Maybe just maybe some Martians have him on their spacecraft and are holding him captive, while one of the Martians has taken over his body and his wife doesn't notice a thing. We have got to warn this woman before it's too late.
Just a theory

I agree ... WHY on earth would Tiger make a public statement (espescially without representation) when this is totally PRIVATE matter.
