Tiger has cancelled his meeting with the police again, but he has released a statement.

George Clooney seems to be the only dude in the spotlight, sports or entertainment, that seems to get it.

Don't get cuffed to these chicks. When they start pulling this crazy stuff, tell them to kick rocks.

Yep I imagine Clooney will be another Rock Hudson. It'll be revealed once he's dead and then everyone will come out of the woodwork saying "yeah I knew he was gay" but in reality they were fooled too.

Anyways, Tiger's in a messy situation here. It'll be very interesting to see how his sponsors react once the full story comes out.

If there's one thing we can all learn from this, it's next time the cops are on your ***, simply cancel your meeting with them.

hmm, might try that myself just in case the cops ever come to my house asking questions. "sorry, don't want to ruin my privacy. have a nice day"

Why is he only driving a 2009 Escalade and not the new 2010? Hopefully it was a Platinum Edition, but I dont know.

Why would he want to talk to the police at all, he is not obligated to.
They will just ask him a bunch of questions to try to "process" him/someone for a domestic violence charge or something else. The 5th amendment protects one from being used as a witness against themself. There is nothing to talk about, the police have physical evidence, if they don't have what they "want" that is their problem.

This whole situation is sketchy to say the least. I'm curious if he's gonna play in that golf tournament he was holding or whatever it was.

LOL @ Kobe Special. That's gold.

The only reason he would be silent about this situation to law enforcement is if someone did something wrong.

But he's probably protecting his wife and himself in this case and it's understandable, thing is that if what pretty much everyone is thinking - ie him and his wife were fighting etc, it's just a matter of time till this behavior repeats itself and the cat will truly be out of the bag, so be patient if you really want to know what happened.

It doesn't matter who you are or how squeaky clean you might be, nobody's perfect and Tiger has the same right to privacy that everyone else does. I agree with him avoiding law enforcement on this one.

Actually, Tiger does not have the same right to Privacy that everyone else has. He is a Public Figure, and his privacy standards vary greatly from a regular Private Citizen.

Well, re-reading my statement I guess I can see a few errors, but if you can't get the jist of what I am saying, then I don't think we have anything to discuss. between us at least.

You feel where I am going with that, Tonto?

He does have the same right, but when you're the best golfer in the world it just ain't gonna happen.

Tiger is probably trying to figure out a way to put some spin on this some how. Doesn't look good right now.

In terms of Privacy, Woods is a Public Figure:

Not that he deserves it, I hope it all blows over and he gets back to winning Majors.

Never talk to the cops, even if you think you did nothing wrong. They and are looking to process you and will take anything that they can to charge you with a crime and disregard the parts of your statements that show innocence.
Here is a video on the matter. Never talk to them, nothing good will come of it.

Im glad you read that Wiki, that is all I was saying in the first place. Nap time?

Very jaded view of law enforcement eh?

Anyways Eldrik's in a world of hurt. Apparently the cops want his hospital records from when he went there this weekend. It sounds like there's a lot of fire in this smoke.

LOL can't believe you just referenced one of my favorite movies and Simpsons episodes in the same post.

Anyways, eventually the truth is going to come out. If there really is serious drama between Tiger and his pretty hot wife, it's only a matter of time before divorce papers, etc are revealed.
