Subpar


In case you have absolutely no idea what's going on in the world Tiger Woods was in a car accident this Thanksgiving weekend. An accident that left him passed out with facial lacerations and resulted in hospitalization. By itself that would be a pretty big story but the accident was right outside his house and he managed to hit both a fire hydrant and a tree. Also the accident was at 2 AM the morning after thanksgiving, his wife had to break the back window of his car with a golf club to get him out, and Woods is on prescription pain killers. Damn! All that by its self is amply scandalous except this accident happened 2 days after National Enquirer claimed that Woods has been having an affair with event planner Rachel Uchitel. And was followed by a TMZ story claiming that the facial lacerations were from Woods' wife scratching his face and that she was chasing the car and hitting it with the golf club. Oh hey. Woods in the mean time has avoided talking about the event to anyone including the police. Now technically he didn't have to make a police statement at that time, but the Florida highway patrol is applying for a warrant for the medical records from his hospitalization, presumably to differentiate between wounds from a car accident or domestic violence. I don't really know what to make of all that...but the person he is allegedly having the affair with is already gearing up to sue the Enquirer, and there is of course the logical conundrum of cheating on Elin Nordegren . Even if the alleged affair is BS there are still enough unaccounted for facts that make it certain that some nefarious underhanded activity was in play. Either way Tiger's image just lost a whole lot of sheen. Here comes another fallen hero.

"Both teams played hard...goodnight and godbless."
