Out of the woods.

I might be in the minority here, but I still like Tiger Woods. From the minute his big hoo-hah sex scandal hit the news last November my primary thought was, THIS IS NOBODY’S BUSINESS, including that endless parade of creepy “cocktail waitresses” who couldn’t wait to tell the world about the sordid details of their real or imagined involvement. The bottom line is, Tiger Woods doesn’t owe me an apology. He doesn’t owe YOU an apology, either. He’s not the first millionaire athlete who’s cheated on his wife, and he won’t be the last. If Tiger owes an apology to anybody, it’s his wife and family ... and probably to his corporate sponsors, too, for wrecking the public image they paid so much for. Other than that, it’s over. I JUST WANT HIM TO GET BACK TO PLAYING GOLF.

Actually, at the end of the day I think the only true villain in this scenario is Gloria Allred, that sickening, media-grubbing lawyer who’s always trying to squeeze herself in front of a TV camera. According to an article I read this morning on MSNBC.com, Allred is representing porn star Joslyn James, who’s upset that Tiger didn’t apologize to her publicly during his press conference yesterday because he once told her she was “the only woman in life except for his wife.” Nice going, Gloria. Another manufactured opportunity to plaster your name in the news.
