Ari Fleischer might have realized the job is impossible: all the kings horses and all the kings men won’t be able to put the facade that was Tiger Woods together again. That’s a good guess as to why he’s already gone from Team Tiger: he put a plan in place and now implementing it is up to Steiny, but don’t look for a happy ending to that story...
Steve Czaban asks some pointed questions to the Florida Highway Patrol – and by implication the people supposed to turn over Tiger’s blood and the surveillance tapes from the fateful night…
Sounds a little like the South Park episode Wednesday: “Oh dude, here come the cops. We have to lie to them. Hit “x” to lie…”
Alleging harassment and cyberstalking, among other malfeasance, the Golf Writers Association of America has formally asked the PGA Tour to suspend John Daly for his vengefully publishing a sports writer’s phone number and encouraging his fans to harass him. Make no mistake, Daly is immature at best, dangerously anti-social and unhinged at worst. His conduct in...

Tiger a cad? Phil a cheat? What has...
Details have emerged about that fateful which ultimately sent Tiger Woods into sex rehab, and a bad-look-alike out in a mis-guided effort to throw the media off the trail. (Boy, wasn’t that just Gaffe-tastic! Thanks for the laughs!) According to the Daily News, Woods broke the news to Elin that the National Enquirer story about he and Rachel Uchitel would be...
Georgina Littlejohn of the U.K. tabloid Daily Mail writes explosive allegations of sex and cover up regarding a newly discovered mistress of Tiger Woods. British mother of two Emma Rotterham was reportedly paid $500,000. for silence about their affair, but refused to surrender her cell phone to the Team Woods flunkies who delivered the cash to a secret location in...
Nicely done, Ryan. Doug Barron not only proclaims his innocence, but demands greater transparency in the PGA Tour’s testing and punishments. We join in that request, except of course for Tim Finchem, who – in one of the biggest frauds in steroids testing history – surrendered his own dweeb-infused specimen, presumedly because he’s a shoo-in to...
Fans at the Australian Open tennis tournament lampooned Tiger Woods, putting him in a giant purple pimp hat, with scepter, bling and cash as a joke, similar to the skit performed at a Jacksonville jaguars game earlier this year, where a character dress liked Elin chased a Tiger clad actor around with an oversized novelty club. Both crowds howled their approval. Tim...

They had everything: money, fame, fans, trophies, and glory. It was their world, we just lived in it. Then they gave it all back with acts of supreme hubris. They have met the enemy…in the mirror. Sure, Tiger Woods’s fall from grace may have been the swiftest collapse from the highest pedestal, but let’s look at some more men and women who ruled the...
Accenture has replaced Tiger Woods with a surfing elephant in ads around the world. The New York Daily News reports the switch. Woods replaced by a surfing elephant?

A Colorado man has been arrested for altering Gatorade bottle featuring Tiger Woods by replacing real labels with ones marked “Unfaithful.” According to the article, Jason Eric Kay, 38, of Longmont, Colo., was arrested on charges of misbranding and altering food labels “with intent to cause serious injury to the business of any person,”...
Boy talk about Haterade, this weekend, a Denver TV station broke the story that some creative, irreverent wag replaced Tiger Woods Gatorade bottles marked “Focus” with the label “Unfaithful.” Now we hear that the FDA doesn’t think the switch is funny, but a dangerous breach of security, and is investigating. I understand the concern. The...
Avid golf fans are more often likely to get unbiased golf news from U.K. writers, as they are nowhere near as enamored with Woods across the pond as we are in America. Woods’s misbehavior on and off the course has been called out time and again by foreign writers, and they certainly don’t engage in the insane hagiographic hero worship many domestic...
