Tiger Woods Christmas Card..
Tiger Woods: 'I let my family down' Tiger Woods says he 'let his family down' and expresses regret in a statement on his website, days after a car crash at his Florida home. Wednesday, December 2, 2009 Audio Clip! ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Golfer Tiger Woods, engulfed in media speculation over his private life after a car accident in the middle of the night, apologized on Wednesday for "transgressions" in a statement that apparently addressed allegations he had extra-marital relationships. Woods, the world's number one golfer and a married father of two young children, said in a statement published on his website that he had "not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves," without directly addressing the allegations of infidelity. "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," Woods said. Woods, perhaps the world's richest athlete with a fortune estimated at $1 billion, suffered facial cuts and bruises when he ran his Cadillac SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree while pulling out of the driveway of his home in Windermere, Florida at around 2 a.m. last Friday. The time of the accident and Woods' refusal to meet with police to answer questions about it triggered a storm of media speculation, during which some outlets reported that he had extra-marital relationships with at least two women. One of the world's most recognizable figures, Woods has lucrative endorsement deals with companies such as Nike and AT&T. The Florida Highway Patrol closed its investigation into the accident on Tuesday and issued a traffic ticket to Woods for careless driving, saying the accident was his fault but that no criminal charges would be brought. It said there were no claims of domestic violence made during its investigation. Some media reports had speculated that the accident followed a dispute in the Woods household. In his web posting on Wednesday, Woods called "utterly false and malicious" reports that physical violence played any role in his car accident. Woods said his Swedish wife Elin Nordegren "has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possible expect". "I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone," Woods said in his statement. US Weekly magazine reported that Jaimee Grubbs, a 24-year-old cocktail waitress from California, claimed to have had a 31-month-long affair with Woods and said she had saved hundreds of text messages to prove it. Earlier, the National Enquirer tabloid had said Woods had a relationship with Rachel Uchitel, whom the paper described as a "New York City party girl." Uchitel has denied any such relationship. Woods immediately paid his $164 traffic fine and is happy with the result of the police probe, his lawyer told Reuters on Wednesday. Woods, 33, is a huge draw on the PGA tour as he chases Jack Nicklaus' record for victories in major tournaments and the unofficial title of best golfer ever. He has won 71 times on the PGA tour in a glittering career that includes 14 major wins. He made a triumphant return to professional golf in February after being sidelined for eight months following reconstructive knee surgery, and finished on top of the FedEx Cup standings for the season.

I heard a preacher man speaking on the radio
Remember thinking that I'd like to tell him where to go Go back to that book that you've been waving around Open it up, and go to that part about You without sin, pick up that stone You without sin, pick up that stone He's turning it over, to the other side He's turning it over now, 'cause now you can't hide All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath The killing stone Saw another fella talking on the TV show Trying to tell me how to live and just how I should vote He says he believes in the sanctity of life 100,000 died Tell me are you sanctified Now you without sin, pick up that stone You without sin, pick up that stone He's turning it over, to the other side He's turning it over now, 'cause you can't hide All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath The killing stone We're all looking for redemption But is it for our souls You without sin, pick up that stone |

Tiger, Tiger,Turning right.
Hit a hydrant In plain sight. Turned again and hit a tree. Couldn't drive his new Caddie. Wifey, Wifey, hearing crash, Ran outside in a mad dash. Using a driver, she broke out the glass. Trying again to bust his brown ass. She already gave him a busted lip, Believin' that hubby had made a slip. While using his putter, but not on her course. Now she was aiming for his tour de force. Now Tiger's busted,His cart is all mangled. His bag is a-saggin', His tees are entangled. He's lucky her armIs not very good. Otherwise TigerWould be without Wood |

Vette Barn nOOb

OK, pimping myself, and promoting what I've been up to ... plus you can hear the Tiger Woods Voicemail Slow Jam Remix.
Clickah. I would so LOVE to see The Vette Barn show up in "referring domains." The other kids tease me when they see Vette sites show up on the site traffic reports. |
