Tiger Woods says Sorry
 well its only taken him a few months  ...I wonder if he's sorry he did it, or just sorry he got caught  Video of the event http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc02ZEPJuF8 In his long-awaited first public statement since a car accident led to revelations of his infidelities, Tiger Woods offered a series of apologies to his friends and family, while defending his wife, Elin, against accusations that she caused the accident by attacking him. But Woods did not say when he will play golf again, other than to mention at the end of the statement that it could be this year. "Every one of you has good reason to be critical of me," Woods said to the gathering of his personal friends -- but few reporters -- in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. "I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in. I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife, Elin, and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private person, there are some things I want to say. "Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words. It will come from my behavior over time. We have a lot to discuss. However, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us." Woods mentioned his educational foundation and suggested that it is his highest priority other than his family, although he may have come across as too corporate when he directed part of his apology to the "staff, board of directors and sponsors." Woods gave few details about the Thanksgiving weekend car crash on his property, but he did insist that it was not caused by his wife abusing him. "Elin never hit me that night or any night," Woods said. "There has never been an incident of domestic violence in our marriage. Ever." Ultimately, Woods said, he takes full responsibility for what he did. "I was unfaithful," Woods said. "I had affairs. I cheated. What I did was not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame." ShareWoods decried the media attention that has been paid to him in the last three months, and he specifically noted a story linking him to a doctor who has been accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs. "Some people have made up things that never happened and said I used performance-enhancing drugs. This is completely and utterly false," Woods said. Woods asked the media to leave his family alone, and claimed that his young daughter had been followed to nursery school, and he said of the media, "They staked out my wife and they pursued my mom." Woods also mentioned his religious beliefs, saying, "I was raised a Buddhist and I actively practiced my faith in childhood before I drifted away in recent years." Although he didn't specifically address reports that he has been living in a sexual addiction rehabilitation clinic, Woods said he has "more treatment and more therapy" ahead. Woods, who hugged his mother at the end of his statement, said he will play golf again, but he's not sure when. "I do plan to return to golf one day. I just don't know when that day will be. I don't rule out that it will be this year." For a statement from Woods on the course, the golf world will have to wait.

In other sports news, Brett Favre is still not officially retired.
Seriously though, I'm so burnt out on the Woods subject it's ridiculous. Until he comes back to Golf and starts winning, nobody is going to focus on anything but all this drama.

Sorry brother, I didn't mean it in a bad way towards you or anything, I was just being sarcastic. It's just literally ALL over every sports media outlet here in America, so it's like everywhere you turn it's "Tiger Watch 2010", lol Whats even worse is that you can almost guarantee that it's not over yet. More girls will come crawling out of the woodwork and claim they had an affair with Tiger, and the press will continue to cover it because our culture is fascinated with these kinds of scandals.
