Anybody sick of hearing about Tiger Woods' car crash yet?

It seems like all that is on the news over the past week is talk about Tiger Woods getting into an accident. For those who have not heard about this yet, according to TransWorldNews, "Woods pulled out of the driveway of his Florida home in a 2009 Cadillac SUV Friday morning around 2:25. He hit a fire hydrant before driving into a tree on his neighbor's property. The neighbor found Woods lying unconscious on the ground outside the vehicle and called authorities."

This accident came only days after he was accused of having an affair with another woman. Rumors have surfaced saying that after the accident, Woods' wife attacked him or something along those lines with a golf club causing the damage to his face. Woods denies all of this and has released a statement saying that his wife was the one that came to his rescue.

The police have requested interviews with both Tiger and his wife, both they have been declined. Tiger did finally release on official statement today. The statement is as follows:
"As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore. This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again. This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible. The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false. This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be."

Tiger has been making a lot of wrong moves. Even though he claims that he takes full responsibility and his wife did nothing wrong, why doesn't he allow the police to question him? Also the police are asking to obtain his medical records which he refuses to release as well. My question is, if he claims that he has nothing to hide, then why be so mysterious? He is acting like a guilty person.

While listening to the commentators on ESPN this morning, I heard an interesting comment. When asked how this will affect his career, one of the commentators responded that just like with the steroid issue in major league baseball, the individuals that are known for getting caught using steroids were the ones that were older. They were unable to hit or throw their way out of the controversy. With Tiger, he will be able to golf his way out of this.

Personally, if he has nothing to hide, then he should have just come clean to the authorities right away. If he did nothing wrong, then nothing should come up in the searches and questioning. This leads me to believe that there was something fishy going on.
