>>>>>>>>A very strange story, one that makes me wish I could know what is going on behind the scenes. A couple of hours ago I stopped by the computer and saw the headline at that time on cnn.com. It said Tiger had been seriously injured in a car accident. I went downstairs and turned on the real CNN and the announcer was saying he had been released from the hospital. The next headline I saw said he had suffered facial injuries. Now his publicist is saying he is fine and characterizing the accident as "minor." Can you sort of feel the spin machine kicking into high gear?
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>For sure it is puzzling that he ran into a fire hydrant and a tree a mile from his own house, at 2:25 a.m. Sounds like something different from a fender bender to me.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>I agree. It was space aliens who misdirected the cars path to cause a diversionary accident that would cover up their botched attempt at a face lift for the aging Tiger. Or it was drugs.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>If you weren't joking, I would be surprised if it was drugs. Tiger has always come across as the most relentlessly focused guy on the face of the earth. He's like a machine, with no element of golf success left to chance. Then again, Andre Agassi's admissions in his new autobiography took me by surprise, too. (Not criticizing him; I gained respect for Agassi, not lost it).
>>>>>>
>>>>>>The news story continues to emerge, like a groundhog peeking warily out of a hole. Now the police chief says Tiger's wife heard the crash, broke into the SUV by smashing out the rear window with a golf club -- plenty of those handy, I'm sure -- and was frantic when the first responders got there two minutes later. He said Tiger was in and out of consciousness and not coherent. Minor accident? Suuuure.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>It's not like they just moved in. How does someone get in an accident of this magnitude within earshot of home? In the middle of the night?
>>>>>>
>>>>>>It's starting to feel like that time here, so off to bed I go. Usually I am early to bed, early to rise. A new medication is messing with my sleep patterns a bit so it's been more erratic lately.
>>>>>
>>>>>It's possible that he just fell asleep or maybe he's on some new meds and they are messing up his sleep pattern too.
>>>>
>>>>Or maybe his partner wacked him with the golf club.
>>>
>>>They say his lips were split - I wonder if they have a 9 iron pattern? I wonder when she broke the back window - before or after?
>>
>>I did read that the air bags didn't go off so he can't have had much of a crash. Plus if you heard a crash outside would you go grab a golf club ?
>>
>>And why is this headline news anyway ?
>
>World celebrity in mysterious middle of the night accident which leaves him "incoherent" and "in and out of consciousness" and sends him to the hospital? Many hours later he goes home amidst an increasingly bewildering series of statements and non-statements? Are you joking? You do not have to be prurient -- which I do not believe I am -- to wonder what the heck really happened.
>
>Maybe it really is little or nothing. Let's see how long it is before we hear from Tiger himself. That will tell a lot. (My guess: a few days of seclusion, recovery, or other mumbo jumbo).

I'm sure that he'll back her story.... if he knows what's good for him. ;)
