Did anyone catch that atrocity of a "press conference" by Tiger Woods' porn star mistress

Was that meant to be a joke??? It didn't even make sense. Since when do people who are in failed relationships need to have press conferences asking for apologies? What, is she going to sue him for dumping her? What a crock.

One post that caught my eye:
<< <i>I think the whole thing is a joke. I think Tiger should have told everyone is was none of their business. He didn't do anything illegal, he's not some hypocrite politician running on a "family values" campaign, he's a freaking golfer. He should have said everyone can lick my nut sack and I'll be playing in the Masters. My news sponsors are Trojan, Viagra and The Chicken Ranch. The rest of you can kiss my green jackets. >>

The new line of sponsors made me chuckle.
He came off bad that is for sure, Tiger looked like he aged five years in just a few months time, stress related no doubt.
<< <i>if Tiger gets a press conference why not the skanks he slept with? >>
Hey, she can have a press conference any time she wants. It doesn't make it any less stupid. I've never seen such an attempt at ambulance chasing. She clearly only wants money from him.

I have my days where I don't like my job, but do you wonder if the reporters told to cover her news conference ever stop to question their career track??

Crazy world. There has to be a lawyer joke in there somewhere.
Gloria Alred
What a slimeball of a lawyer. She is a specialized version of an ambulance chasing lawyer. She is someone who probably has gofers monitoring the news media 24/7 looking for the first report on a new story like Tiger's or other famous/prominent people caught cheating. As soon as a new report surfaces, Team Alred goes into full court press mode to identify, locate, communicate with and get hired by the "other woman". Once the "other woman" is contacted, Gloria herself jets to meet her, picks her up in a limo, treats her to a week of spa treatments, shopping for a new wardrobe, dinner at a five star restuarant, lodging at a five star hotel and the proverbial "press conference" with Gloria by her side, mugging for the cameras.
Tiger's other woman who gave a press conference today is probably working with Gloria to be the first of Tiger's other women to secure a book deal and a big fat advance. Get that tell all book out on the shelves for the public to buy ASAP because there is money to be made.

That is exactly what it was. Quite disgusting, actually. Allred was "consoling" her like she's the first woman ever to have her heart broken, and Tiger will pay for it. Absolutely ridiculous.

How Tiger could involve himself with a harem and not think he was gonna get caught is really amazing to me. One chick not so bad, two chicks maybe, but a dozen? Whoa, no kinda therapy is gonna help that situation. I'm surprised his wife hasn't already bolted with a caravan of Brink's trucks in tow back to Sweden. Have you seen the yacht he has in Miami?
As for you Tiger fans in Michigan, cheer up, looks like Johnny Damon is gonna save your team this year. According to his mouthpiece (Boreass), I think the Tigers were one of the teams he touted could not win their division without Damon's wearing the uniform.
Girls lie to guys and vice versa. Its been happening for thousands of years. She should have listened to her parents (assuming she was raised by them). Also, if integrity was so important to her in a man, she should not have picked a married man in the first place. She must have known he was not totally honest with his own wife, so she could not expect any different from him.
In the grand scheme of things, this is something that Tiger and Elin must work out.

A side note. I believe it was not much more than 24 hours after the verdict in the Scott Peterson case that Amber Frey released her book. I am not a legal expert but how can Peterson not get a new trial? I would think her testimony would be tainted severely. Her book sales were dependant on the verdict. Does the Court believe there is overwhelming evidence even without her testimony? He was convicted on only circumstantial evidence.

<< <i>I can sum it up; she had a press conference asking why he didn't apologize to her directly and is most likely going to sue him for lying to her by telling her he loved her. What an absolute JOKE. I would suspect any judge would throw it out of court immediately. Imagine if people could sue you for "breaking their heart". lol Yeah right. >>
People can sue for "alienation of affection" I believe, has to do when a married partner has an affair and leaves the marriage to go be with the person they had the affair with. The spouse who did not have the affair could sue the other person that was a party to the affair for "alienation of affection".

Tiger Woods' world will never be the same
It's been a precipitous fall for Tiger Woods since his Nov. 27 car accident.

Friends have been asking me why I haven't written my take on "the Tiger Woods deal," so here it comes. First, let me just say that I'm still having trouble getting past the video games and Fruit Loops.
That's if I'm to believe the report that Tiger was so distraught after his indoor athleticism became public -- and turned into what some people call a Shakespearean tragedy -- that he crawled into deep, lonely hiding and occupied his time playing video games and eating Fruit Loops.
Maybe it is true, and that's why Tiger's agent, Mark Steinberg of IMG, said to the media at one point, "Give the kid a break."
Kid?
Tiger Woods was a month away from 34 years of age when his debutantes began turning up in the news. He was a grown man with a wife and two children. Well, we supposed he had a wife, but that was before we learned she was only an ornament.
Kid?
Kids flew B-17s in daylight bombing raids over Germany in World War II. Kids fought in Korea and Vietnam. Kids are serving today in Iraq and Afghanistan so Tiger Woods can live in a world where he can win 14 majors and match that number, the last time I counted, with 14 casting couches, most of them reserved for blondes.
Now excuse me a moment while I try to envision Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus playing video games and eating Fruit Loops while they try to deal with a career problem.
Of course, Hogan, Palmer and Nicklaus never set themselves up to become future statues in Central Park.
They never pretended to be the All-American Daddy-Pop Father of the Year Who Also Wins Golf Tournaments.
They never sold themselves as the greatest Family Values brand ever, and conquered the marketplace with it, shamelessly scooping up hundreds of millions of dollars while saying, "My family will always come first."
They were never what Tiger allowed himself to become from the start: spoiled, pampered, hidden, guarded, orchestrated and entitled.
I'll tell you what Hogan, Palmer and Nicklaus were at their peak.
They were every bit as popular as Tiger, they endured similar demands on their time, but they handled it courteously, often with ease and enjoyment.
They were accessible, likable, knowable, conversant, as gracious in loss as they were in victory, and, above all, amazingly helpful to those of us in the print lodge who covered them.
That was their brand. All the things Tiger never was.
As for Tiger's brand, boy, did that take a hit.
For all of the Tiger idolaters out there, it must have been like finding out that ice cream sundaes give you gonorrhea.
Never in my knowledge of history has any famous personality -- in sports, show biz, or politics -- ever fallen so far so fast. Tiger Woods is graveyard dead, as the Southern expression goes.
Life as Tiger has known it is over. His reputation is ruined, possibly forever. His name that once meant mastery over competitive golf now invokes cringes, giggles and all the Internet jokes you want to pass along.
Sure, he can come back and even win again, if he man's up, but if he does he will only be a hero to the "you-da-man" and "get-in-the-hole" crowd. And I can't imagine him coming back as a "humbled man." That wouldn't be the owner of a yacht insultingly named Privacy, the guy the press has still slobbered over for these past 12 years.
I covered Tiger winning his 14 professional majors, but I can't say I know him. I knew the smile he put on for TV. I knew the orchestrated remarks he granted us in his press-room interviews. I knew the air he punched when another outrageous putt went in the cup. That's it.
I once made an effort to get to know the old silicone collector. Tried to arrange dinners with him for a little Q&A, on or off the record, his choice. But the closest I ever got was this word from his agent: "We have nothing to gain."
Now it's too late.
I'm busy.
