I just got in so excuse me if I am late... @ not hearing this. This is damming. Now, I am not saying he hasn't said ANYTHING that I haven't heard before though... Lets be clear. He crossed the line though. For sure..

(Wonders aloud how many folks are going to act shocked that Glen Rice & Sarah Palin may have had relations...)
I mean, we don't have video confirmation (Not for a lack of the technology but rather because people actually didn't think having sex was some monumental thing that they only took part in. ) but lets just say it is true and we wholeheartedly believe it.
Then what? I mean I guess it is a chance for some cheap jokes at both of their expenses but after then what do we do with that information? I mean I KNOW we aren't gonna 'judge' her on that one when there are PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS that we have ACTUAL CONFIRMATION and evidence THAT SHE HAS DONE OR SAID are we? As for Glen, I mean he was in school at a major university and he was the STAR BASKETBALL PLAYER. I can 't see anything wrong on either side of this one. Sorry. Oh that's right , Todd was in 'the picture' at the time. So? Pretty sure Todd was getting his dick wet too so let's not play up the strong manly man's 'sensitive ego' thing that most of you are out her using as a cop out. Charge it to the game and keep it moving. @ probably what he would do if he was smart. (Oh, you think HE DOESN'T KNOW DON'T YOU? Probably because YOU WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING...Oh..Project much?)
I don't like the gal either but damm..I'm just not that invested to go reaching to slander her with this bullshit honestly.
Not my style to kick dirt on folks for shit like this especially when it is pretty common. She had a sports caster gig. She liked dudes. They fucked (maybe). Big deal. Ya'll can continue to giggle and judge like school girls if you like though...Have fun with all that shit.
Just my take on it.

I don't share so this video does NOTHING for me. (NSFW) However, I know some of you like this sorta thing.
I am looking at you some kinda way if you would have been 'out there' waiting in line like you have never gotten head before. Ninjas out there looking like the dudes on Revenge of the Nerds....geeked over getting head AFTER ABOUT 30 OTHER dudes....Color me unimpressed...EXTREMELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK. I could only watch about 1:54 of it 'till I called 'No joy'....I am sure some of you will make it all the way through though...
And no, I have never shared a broad. I mean if we happen to have messed with her at the same time so be it but standing around IN PERSON? Nope. Sorry. None for me thanks. Ya'll can have all of that shit....Never been in a drought that bad....
Even though I know this person will not listen, PLEASE STOP SENDING ME THIS SHIT MAN. Or rather, if you don't, I will diss the shit that needs dissing if you don't. Like this hot bullshit....@ how I even got the video....

Thanks for nothing Gawker... @ChristineOD I mean I don't like her either..
...but this isn't going to make me NOT like her any MORE as a candidate. I get it. It was a story. You 'had' to run it in some fashion. Fine. Run it but don't title it the way you did knowing full well most of your readers don't know their head from their ass when dealing with 'blind rage'. Come the fuck on man...Like this ya'll?
and the headline is MISLEADING LIKE A MOFO. 'Cause they didn't have intercourse. Oral is 'implied' but we don't even know if THAT HAPPENED. All we know (if we know anything at all) is that clothes came off and she doesn't shave. If that is the shit that you are basing your vote on then you need not vote.... I love how homie is trying 'diss her' yet he opened the door and went out with her though. Put her in his bed. I am sure for some of you less mature folks, that is a win in your book for him. I assure you it is not. If she is as bad as desperate as he tried to make her out to be, he shouldn't have messed with her or opened the door. I smell bullshit.
This better not be him 'kissing' all up on her either after yapping his yap..Someone is kissing and hugged up with her...Mofos kill me..Oh now 'she's a hoe'...lol
Blogger Note: Just when I thought 'we' had the market cornered YET AGAIN on the girly mouthed thing in regards to 'relations with a female', I re-discover what my Mom already told me. We hate the 'man' yet we want to emulate him. This is where we got that 'airing people out' shit from....Bad thing is, it stinks just as bad when 'we' aren't involved. And I don't even like this broad like that...
I don't think the 'story' is a shocker. She isn't ugly. Pretty sure she is human and pretty sure she has been propositioned. Yes, I heard what she spewed out of her mouth about 'masturbation' and sex. So what! Plenty of the same people chastising her for it have views on SEX AND THE OPPOSITE that totally contradict what it is they present to the public. lol She isn't the first. She won't be the last. So I took everything she said with a grain of salt. In English, I NEVER believed she was the Virgin Mary 'cause that is not what SHE SAID. Her hard line stance and condescending tone may have led many to JUMP TO THEIR OWN conclusions about her being that but from what I 'heard' from her didn't COME OUT AND SAY THAT. She was on MTV for crying out loud. She was in the middle of some of the most misogynist TV shows known to man and ENJOYED being there. So while I didn't think she was getting her Madonna on, I knew she wasn't Mother Theresa either.
Why do I care enough to write this up? 'Cause I feel insulted by the person who leaked this to think that I would make a vote on something this serious based on who fucked who when they said they opposed fucking. That's why. Fuck the dude who 'leaked' this shit out and fuck Gawker for thinking it was going to change my mind. There is no OTHER REASON to put this out in the MANNER THAT THEY DID so I don't really want to hear that 'They were just reporting the news'...or 'Maybe they wanted to shine light on how bad she is being treated...'Cause that was not the undertone of this article. At all. It was typical phallic based writing and while I am DEFINITELY an owner of such a model, I can't condone this bullshit. Even for a candidate I have no intentions for voting for. She is doing a BANG UP JOB of not making me vote for her thank you Gawker. What I am afraid of though is that someone who 'has nothing else to stand for in regards to this race or politics' and had no intentions voting SUDDENLY feels offended enough to vote and now vote for her. That's what I am afraid of. So that is why I am so moved by this. That is why stuff like this is dangerous.....
Her costume isn't bad though...
Her statement: Hate or love her, her and her camp are right on this one...This doesn't really have a place in the election or have any bearing on the whether or not she is a good candidate....At all. If I were to put up the activities of several of you that you do 'off the clock' that DIRECTLY contradict what you do at work ('cause I know that is where you are gonna go with this), YOUR ASS WOULDN'T HAVE A JOB. Period. Maybe that is why you are upset. I don't know...All I know is if you can do it, she can do it. And in this particular case, 'it' isn't even WRONG. It is just salacious as hell..lol

Her costume isn't bad though...
Wilmington, DE – Communications Director Doug Sachtleben stated in response to the universal condoning of the Gawker story:
"This story is just another example of the sexism and slander that female candidates are forced to deal with. From Secretary Clinton, to Governor Palin, to soon-to-be Governor Haley, Christine's political opponents have been willing to engage in appalling and baseless attacks — all with the aim of distracting the press from covering the real issues in this race. Even the National Organization for Women gets it, but Christine's opponent disturbingly does not. As Chris Coons said on September 16th he would not condone personal attacks against Christine. Classless Coons goons have proven yet again to have no sense of common decency or common sense with their desperate attacks to get another rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda. Such attacks are truly shameful, but they will not distract us from making our case to Delaware voters — and keeping the focus on Chris Coons' record of higher taxes, increased spending, and as he has done again here, breaking his promises to the voters."
The National Organization for Women (NOW) on Thursday condemned the tabloid website Gawker for publishing an anonymous account: NOW issued a statement late Thursday stating that "sexist, misogynist attacks against women have no place in the electoral process, regardless of a particular candidate's political ideology."
"NOW repudiates Gawker's decision to run this piece. It operates as public sexual harassment. And like all sexual harassment, it targets not only O'Donnell, but all women contemplating stepping into the public sphere," said NOW president Terry O'Neill.
Remember that Domino's Pizza car washing post...Here was Domino's response..
“I just wanted to follow up with you and let you know I have talked to the owner and he has addressed this with the store personnel. Just so you know this is not how they normally clean these pans but the manager decided to try something different and in fact after washing these off at the car wash (high pressure hose) they brought them back to the store and washed them through the regular process.
Again I appreciate you contacting us because your perception was this is the only way they washed these pans and I can assure you this is not the case.”

An upskirt shot at work with the COMPANY'S WEBCAM??
With OTHER CAMERAS present in the building? Damm, it must be ONE HELLUVA DROUGHT going on with him.
SMH...
Charles Barkley....'bout time....Apologizes for use of word 'punk' in regards to Lebron..
Look man, I am not saying Charles has to LIKE Lebron's decision. He can disagree. He can even say he STRONGLY DISAGREES. It was the name calling that he and others with a microphone are doing that TRULY rubs me the wrong way. At least he apologized for that.
He bought up some good points on Reggie Bush's situation too..
Listen to him talk on that, taking money in college and more here...

NCAA....I don't know who the f#ck you think you are fooling....Reggie Bush gives back trophy.
I am pretty sure I won't be alone in the following sentiments. I am also PRETTY SURE THAT I WILL BE OPPOSED. I don't give a shit really. First, Reggie's statement.
For Immediate Release: September 14, 2010
One of the greatest honors of my life was winning the Heisman Trophy in 2005. For me, it was a dream come true.
But I know that the Heisman is not mine alone. Far from it. I know that my victory was made possible by the discipline and hard work of my teammates, the steady guidance of my coaches, the inspiration of the fans, and the unconditional love of my family and friends. And I know that any young man fortunate enough to win the Heisman enters into a family of sorts. Each individual carries the legacy of the award and each one is entrusted with its good name.
It is for these reasons that I have made the difficult decision to forfeit my title as Heisman winner of 2005. The persistent media speculation regarding allegations dating back to my years at USC has been both painful and distracting. In no way should the storm around these allegations reflect in any way on the dignity of this award, nor on any other institutions or individuals. Nor should it distract from outstanding performances and hard-earned achievements either in the past, present or future.
For the rest of my days, I will continue to strive to demonstrate through my actions and words that I was deserving of the confidence placed in me by the Heisman Trophy Trust. I would like to begin in this effort by turning a negative situation into a positive one by working with the Trustees to establish an educational program which will assist student-athletes and their families avoid some of the mistakes that I made. I am determined to view this event as an opportunity to help others and to advance the values and mission of the Heisman Trophy Trust.
I will forever appreciate the honor bestowed upon me as a winner of the Heisman. While this decision is heart-breaking, I find solace in knowing that the award was made possible by the support and love of so many. Those are gifts that can never be taken away.
Okay, he gave it back. Doesn't matter if I would do it, you would have done it or anything. It is done. Sure he has a replica though. Even if he DOESN'T, we know he won it on the FIELD. Period.
I am personally INSULTED AS A FAN that the NCAA WOULD HAVE THE FUCKING NERVE to think investigating him, forcing him to give it back or THEM ACTING CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED and thus relieving him his trophy could somehow ERASE my memory banks. I saw it. We saw it. Erasing their little 'record' books means shit. Seriously. All of them kids are IN BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE FOR THOSE YEARS THAT THEY ARE ON THAT CAMPUS. In ALL SPORTS. From the walk ons to the stars. It has been going on..
Check the files..Do your research.
Let me help you if you don't think so...
Stacy Augmon and Larry Johnson..
They both had 30k cars. In SCHOOL. Neither came from money. SI DID A DAMM STORY ON THEM. TALKED ABOUT THE CARS IN THE STORY. I have the issue somewhere in my Momma's basement. Hope I can find it 'cause they took pics WITH THEIR CARS. I could go on and on about how the players are getting that money. As they should. They made UNLV a household name on the EAST COAST. We weren't talking about them, buying merchandise and the like before they came along. Making the University BIG TIME MONEY.
I can flip it too. I can go on and on about the non star players who had to 'hustle' in school to keep FOOD. Get back home! Hell, just live. So it swings both ways. They can't work. They have strict guidelines. It isn't as 'easy' as some think it is. Yes, they get 'help' in school but the football thing is a 'like a job'. And they are getting below minimum wage for it. Even WITH GETTING 'free education'. (As we have seen, some aren't even getting that @ those who leave school unable to read, write or do basic math.)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1136167/3/index.htm
The NCAA is KILLING ME with this 'We didn't know' shit...YOU KNOW! Stop lying. Please. You are insulting us.
As for those of you who are harping on the 'he was old enough to know better' shit. Stop it 5. You are the same folks who want people to 'mentor' the youth that are tattooing themselves on their faces, shooting each other and the other REAL DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORS who are the SAME AGE AS REGGIE WAS WHEN HE MADE THE DECISION TO TAKE THOSE THINGS. You don't pull that card with those folks. Matter of fact, you hit people like me with all TYPES OF BULLSHIT EXCUSES as to why it is basically okay for them to do it or why I should be sympathetic to it FULLY. (Not that I am not UNDERSTANDING to people's plight. I am.) Miss me with that shit. Young adult. Remember? Still needs to grow. Remember? Coming into adulthood. Remember. That is what COLLEGE (or that time period for any young adult PERIOD) is all about. Making mistakes and learning from them. I also will say, that house or any of the other stuff didn't make him cut homie up like a bag of dope on that one move...now did it?
And I am one of those people who said that he WOULDN'T BE A GREAT PLAYER IN THE NFL EITHER. So this is not me being a homer. This is just me speaking on what I think is only right.
I am well aware that the some parts of the truth aren't interesting. That said. Tiki Barber's girlfriend speaks..
I know ya'll have made up your minds already though on how it all went down even though you haven't a heard a peep from her or have any of her side. We all like to think we 'know' how all of 'these types of situations' go down and they usually lean on the SALACIOUS side of things. When all else fails to drum up interests, THEN AND ONLY THEN do we start to go to those technicalities that we all know are mere legalities at some point. Oh how I love how we get 'brand new' when it is an athlete, famous person or someone we don't particularly care for due to other reasons when it comes to relationships. Oh how 'perfect' we get when we speak on them. 'Cause we would 'never' do, walk up to those lines, or act in any other immoral way were it us. Heavens no. Nevermind that half of you stole THE VERY MAN YOU CALL YOUR OWN right at this moment. Or stole the woman. Done shit that would make all the 'stories' about Tiki look like a choirboy. Oh that's right, we aren't talking about you. We are talking about Tiki. 'Cause we have to the right to do so. So lets talk about him, shall we?
While I can’t speak for Tiki, at first I found the story about his and my relationship to be humorous. The scandalous headlines, such as “Sneaky Tiki” and factually incorrect details – like Tiki leaving his wife while she was eight months pregnant with twins – that graced the cover of “reputable” newspapers amused me. Amusing because I, quite frankly, knew the truth. I knew that Tiki didn’t leave Ginny when she was eight months pregnant for me. I knew that his relationship had deteriorated before my relationship with him was even a thought in his mind. I knew that I was never Tiki’s babysitter or that he “lavished” me with expensive gifts or snuck into my college dorm room (I lived on an all girl’s floor with a key swipe entrance … think how difficult it would be to sneak a 5′10, 200-pound, black man into that environment?). Plain and simple, the truth was and still is that Tiki and I never crossed the line of being inappropriate while he was married and nor was our relationship inappropriate now that he wasn’t.
While it has been four months since the story of our relationship came out, people still are judging and opining on it. But these people have been influenced by the ignominious and outrageous stories that have been told about us....
Go here to read the rest....
Does this make what she said the 'gospel'? No. What it does is it gives you another side to things. Puts in other factors that you probably weren't 'aware' of due to other stories by your favorite columnists. I know ya'll are gonna ride on your moral train anyway though so. So have it. lol
As she should have said...Mashonda on Alicia Keys in Vibe..
I mean whether we agree or don't agree, she is correct here. Read the rest..
I will let you arm chair therapists 'break down what she really meant' since the rest of us are clueless and you know her all so well....However, she said she has shown she is well beyond the 'woman scorned' thing as far as wishing ill will on the baby and whatnot. Wonder if some of you will 'grow up and do the same'? Probably not.
"Obviously something is wrong with his morals, but I don’t play with kids. Even now with Alicia’s pregnancy, I believe she deserves privacy. I hate hearing people wish bad stuff on her and the baby. I’m like ‘People shut up!’ This is a child, an actual life… someone who has nothing to do with what’s going on right now. I wish her the most successful, healthy pregnancy in the world, that child is going to be my son’s brother or sister and that’s the only way to look at it.”
People will sue for anything...Woman sues for being fired from Citibank for being 'too hot'..(Smacks forehead)
Oh you thought I was bullshitting didn't you?? If she is telling the truth, I am actually on her side truthfully. I know that doesn't jive with the title of the post....I had to get you here right? Okay then.....
I wonder whose wife was behind that firing? Who came in one day and said 'Oh fuck that....that bitch has got to go!! Ed, make that happen by the time I come up here next time....' 'Cause I can't see any 'dude' firing her behind no mess like her being 'too pretty'. Can't see it. Sorry. Unless cats were getting fired behind her for looking too hard or harassing her to the point that they felt the need to get rid of her to save themselves from getting sued...smh. Read the rest of the article at the link... She is Puerto Rican and Italian btw...
No.- Jay-Z
She is a bad young lady too but if she is getting fired at Citibank then I know some young ladies who need to have BEEN gotten fired from their job...Just saying..
Here is the rest of the article:
Everything about Debrahlee Lorenzana is hot. Even her name sizzles. At five-foot-six and 125 pounds, with soft eyes and flawless bronze skin, she is J.Lo curves meets Jessica Simpson rack meets Audrey Hepburn elegance—a head-turning beauty.
In many ways, the story of her life has been about getting attention from men—both the wanted and the unwanted kind. But when she got fired last summer from her job as a banker at a Citibank branch in Midtown—her bosses cited her work performance—she got even hotter. She sued Citigroup, claiming that she was fired solely because her bosses thought she was too hot.
This is the way Debbie Lorenzana tells it: Her bosses told her they couldn't concentrate on their work because her appearance was too distracting. They ordered her to stop wearing turtlenecks. She was also forbidden to wear pencil skirts, three-inch heels, or fitted business suits. Lorenzana, a 33-year-old single mom, pointed out female colleagues whose clothing was far more revealing than hers: "They said their body shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention," she says.
As Lorenzana's lawsuit puts it, her bosses told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear."
"Men are kind of drawn to her," says Tanisha Ritter, a friend and former colleague who also works as a banker and praises Lorenzana's work habits. "I've seen men turn into complete idiots around her. But it's not her fault that they act this way, and it shouldn't be her problem."
Sheneka Adams on her Sex Tape
It is 2010 who do not give head- Sheneka.....She says it was recorded without her consent.
Is she lying though?
UPDATE:
Seems she has someone who is a bit bitter. I am not mad at seeing it. I am almost not patting homie who leaked it on the back either.....(Shrugs) NSFW....She is taking the attention in stride though...
(Gasps in mock disgust) She got on a pole? Rima Fakih
Not saying this is NOT her but we can't see her face.....We see the hair and the likeness though.
Update: It is her. Here are the other pics...
Here is my thing. There are DANCE CLASSES that themed around pole dancing that you can take a the damm YMCA!!! (Or at most fitness centers that offer 'dance' classes) Okay, she got a pole. Oooooohhhh.
You wouldn't want your little girl modeling herself after her would you Mr. Blogger?- You
Here ya'll go again with the lazy parenting. Every time something goes wrong, you motherfuckers wanna just step to the side and blame some 'beauty pageant' winner for behaviors that your favorite musicians/entertainers/actresses condone and co-sign EVERY DAY. Ya'll motherfuckers need to quit that shit. Excuse my language. You do though. Somehow, these young ladies aren't supposed to 'act their age' and do things that are pretty damm normal for people who go out. You guys need to bring your expectations down a thousand. I would no more expect my daughters to act like ANYONE who is a FULL FLEDGED ADULT 'cause they are (gasp)....CHILDREN.. No child should be acting as adult ANYWAY. They are CHILDREN. So lets allow them to act like children. Lets start there.
Get a hold of yourselves people. We are ALL SINNERS. Every last one of us. Even the beauty pageant winners. I am not even sure 'what' she did was that bad. But of course, you guys are gonna make some big huge moral deal about it. IF IT IS EVEN HER..lol
Here is a BRILLIANT IDEA THOUGH. Why don't we stop making them role models or adjust the word a bit so that it would reflect what REALLY IS GOING on out here in the World. You know, since we keep 'discovering' that our selections aren't perfect like 'we' would like them to be. Just a thought. Or are you guys just going to keep trying to drive that square peg into that round hole because they are both shapes?
Have fun and make sure you board your glass houses up....
I guess ya'll hated these pictures huh? lol
As soon as I read about the 22 year old cat playing high school ball I knew....
(This is the space where I would put his picture BUT I am not really as interested as some of you are in 'embarrassing' him. I am sure he is suffering enough and getting what ever it is he has coming to him. Do I feel sorry for him? No. I am just not a dog pile type person on the reg. )
A sexual assault charge was soon to follow.
Link:
ODESSA, Texas -- Officials say a 22-year-old man accused of posing as a high school student and basketball star in West Texas was arrested Friday on suspicion of sexual assault, his third arrest in four days.
Sgt. Gary Duesler of the Ector County Sheriff's Office said Guerdwich Montimer was charged with sexual assault, a second-degree felony, and was being held in the Ector County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.
Montimer was arrested after a 16-year-old girl in Odessa told police and school district officials she had sex with him at a home in August when she thought he was 15-year-old Jerry Joseph, said Odessa police Cpl. Sherrie Carruth.
All of you coming here for the 'Redz is boning Gloria' story..
I am not going to even run that yet. I need way more proof than that silly little email.
Besides, I can't stop laughing at the notion...
Moms is bout it too. Oh you forgot? Let me remind you....
Who is Delonte West?
Well this clears that up....LMAO
Hmmmm...Still not saying her name btw. Denial is a heavily populated town. Especially for those of you thirsty enough to want your 'gossip'/dirt/exposing of celebrities anyway you can get it. I know for some of you though, this won't be enough. :) As you were.
Jemele Hill said it best. "He shoulda just came back and played.."
Here we go again- DMX. ESPN rehashing the whole incident. Running them stupid clips and showing his truck all smashed up. Wondering if 'he can recover from this?" Saying all the cliches, letting Skip Bayless talk and them other goofy announcers they have.
I am not really understanding who it is or why he needs to 'apologize' via this press conference. I mean, the only person(s) that he needs to apologize to is his wife. After that, there is no need. Those that don't want to roll with him anymore through the endorsement deals, the 'I love Tiger' bandwagons and such have JUMPED ship long time ago. They are already saying he can't 'get back what he lost' so what is the point of making this statement? I don't get it.
Oh wait, that's right. He needs to SUFFER. LOL All the 'perfect patties' of the world want to see him begging. Get their last kicks in before they 'decide' that society will forgive him. Shame on you fools. I hope when you fuck up that someone kicks you in the nuts too. Oh wait, they did, didn't they? THAT HAS TO BE WHY YOU ARE SO BITTER? Worrying about what the next man is doing with his private parts. Acting like you care about him. You don't give a shit about that man and you never did. Now, I have to hear Ric Bucher bellly aching about 'You can't tell Tiger anything. He is hard headed. But why should he listen to me? He is the World's best athlete!" and other tongue in cheek bullshit. smh
Oh and Ernie Els? Shut the ENTIRE FUCK UP. Your sport has suffered a 50% decline. Any PRESS YOU GET RIGHT NOW, will line your pockets. You and all the other golfers are just hot 'cause you know that by, lets say the Fall or so, all the jockeying will be done for second place. 'Cause you KNOW who is gonna come in first. If I were you, I'd hate me too- Jeezy @ what Tiger is probably thinking about all of your back biting comments. Those of you who are 'playing nice'? You might as well not do so. He is STILL gonna try to beat you and even if by chance he doesn't round back into his EXACT form, he will still be the reason that 'non golf' fans watch your sport. Deal with it.

I have no idea why Tiger Woods wants to waste everyone's time with this charade of a "news conference" Friday morning.
This will be the first time in months that the public has seen or heard from Woods since a bizarre one-car accident over the Thanksgiving weekend lifted the curtain on his tawdry personal life and sent him into hiding.
But if this news conference is Tiger's way of accepting responsibility for his actions, he's made a horrible miscalculation. Friday's session will come off as nothing more than a glorified public service announcement.
In a real news conference, the media can ask questions. In this one, none are allowed. A real news conference is open to all accredited media. In this one, only hand-selected members of the press get to watch as Woods reads a prepared statement into the one camera permitted in the room.
Tiger Woods
AP Photo/Eric Risberg)A simple statement to a select group of media representatives isn't likely to gain Tiger much credibility.
You don't signal to the public that you want to make amends and then construct an environment in which you're never challenged about what exactly you're making amends for. I believe I'm speaking for mothers everywhere when I say this: If you're going to do something halfway, why even bother to do it all?
Unlike a lot of people, I don't believe Woods owes the media, fans or curious onlookers an explanation about why he engaged in extramarital affairs. Woods doesn't owe the media a question-and-answer session. He doesn't owe America an embarrassing, in-depth interview with Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer or Oprah. He doesn't owe the public any more statements on his Web site.
All he owes us is great golf. The rest we should leave to our imaginations.
But if Tiger's plan is to "address" the media so it will get off his back, this news conference certainly won't accomplish that. In fact, all it will do is make the media even more adamant in its attempts to expose Woods as a fraud.
Many of my colleagues have always hated the fact that they are at Woods' mercy when it comes to access. By holding a news conference and not allowing them to ask questions, he is rubbing the media's nose in the fact that -- despite his crumbling public image -- things are still on his terms and not the other way around.
A superstar athlete's arrogance and the media's pettiness always make for a dangerous combination. Just ask Barry Bonds. Whatever benefit of the doubt Tiger used to receive from the media should be long gone. Even if he reads the most apologetic, heartfelt statement in the history of the world on Friday, it won't satisfy some people, and more than likely the majority of the media will rip him for being too cowardly to step outside of a controlled environment.
In fact, there already is nothing for Woods to gain in the court of public opinion on Friday, because his unwillingness to answer questions already has people questioning his sincerity.
So again, why bother?

This ill-advised tactic shouldn't surprise anyone. Tiger has been playing this situation wrong from the beginning. One of his problems is that he is too obsessed with his public image. The only people Tiger should care about making amends with are his family and his sponsors. And that could be handled privately.
Once it was clear he wasn't severely injured in the accident outside his home, the only message Tiger should have sent is this: No matter how many women come out and claim to have slept with him, whatever is or isn't going on inside his home is none of our business.
Tiger didn't commit a crime. He didn't dishonor the game (though we can't say the same about his marriage vows). He's a public figure who cheated on his wife, and in case anyone hasn't noticed, that's been done by plenty of politicians, and by other athletes.
Tiger's best course of action has always been to return to golf as soon as possible and let everything else play itself out. His self-imposed exile seems senseless and unnecessarily dramatic. Kobe Bryant was accused of rape and potentially faced a lengthy prison term, but he held a news conference before the charges against him were dropped and admitted that he was guilty of cheating on his wife. Then he played through the turmoil. Had he disappeared like Tiger did, the scrutiny and speculation would have only intensified.
Tiger apparently didn't get that memo, and instead has made himself a hostage to the tabloids. Now he's trying to regain some control, but it's too late for that.
I understand Woods might have used this break to put some order back in his life -- there have been numerous reports that he spent part of this time seeking treatment for sex addiction -- but he seems to have forgotten that the reason he reached iconic status in the first place is because he's an excellent golfer, not because he's the husband of the year.
He should have returned to the PGA Tour long before now. Tiger's return was never going to be easy, because he isn't accustomed to such intense coverage of his off-the-course life by the tabloids and other outlets, and no matter what, some golf fans were going to find his reported behavior so offensive that they will no longer want any part of Team Tiger.
You can't please everybody, and that's just the way celebrity works. Half the people love you; the other half hate your guts. It's too bad Tiger is spending so much time concerning himself with the wrong half.
I am not really understanding who it is or why he needs to 'apologize' via this press conference. I mean, the only person(s) that he needs to apologize to is his wife. After that, there is no need. Those that don't want to roll with him anymore through the endorsement deals, the 'I love Tiger' bandwagons and such have JUMPED ship long time ago. They are already saying he can't 'get back what he lost' so what is the point of making this statement? I don't get it.

Erin Andrews
I LOVE WOMAN. I don't think that this is a secret. I have women ALL OVER THIS BLOG. If you REALLY KNOW ME, I speak on them from 'time to time'. I happen to associate with SOME REALLY ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE. You get the point. So what I am about to embark on does not change that in any way. Sorry for you if you think that me speaking out on this does that. I can't help it if you are that narrow minded.
What I do not like though is when things happen to a women like they did the Erin Andrews. (Pauses and lets you get your 'cynical' thoughts together. Got 'em? Good! Lets continue shall we? Okay!) I think that is pretty fucking low to have to peek in the KEYHOLE of her hotel room on some "Revenge of the Nerds/Insert Your Sophomoric D List Movie Title Here" type time. Again, I have posted pics up of woman in various states of undress on here before and will continue to do so IF at some point, the woman gave some sort of consent to SOMEONE. Erin gave none of that to NO ONE. She had no clue that was happening to the best of my knowledge so you won't see YOURS truly posting up pictures. I enjoy looking at Erin but not that much. I will wait. Call it what you want.
Allow me to visit another side of this though if you will.
The role ESPN (and just about any other news/tv outlet that BASICALLY MAKES SURE SOMEONE WHO IS SMOKING HOT appears on your screen to 'report to you') plays in all of this. For years, whether you liked all of the women they have shown or not, ESPN sure has not had many ugly 'woman sportscasters'. Lets be clear. They did not 'invent' sex appeal but they DAMM SURE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
Erin is a FINE sports reporter. She KNOWS HER SHIT. She could probably walk into my barbershop RIGHT NOW and give a history lesson to well over 85% of said shop (Shouts to Suite 302) on it. She is MORE THAN QUALIFIED to do her job however, I am guessing if a true to life Ugly Betty had the same qualifications, we would NOT SEE HER on our TV screens reporting. Matter of fact, I am SURE OF IT. Her beauty opened that door. Her SKILLS have kept her there.
Why are you pointing this out Carolina when YOU JUST SAID UP TOP, "I hate that this happened to her...'? Contradict yourself much sport?
No. What I am saying is that THIS SHOULD NOT BE A SHOCK that there is this much interest in this video. That's what I am saying. Not that she 'deserved it'. 'Cause she did not. I just covered that! I find it funny that while the 'network' is outraged, that WELL OVER HALF OF THE MALE STAFF probably PRAYED FOR A VIDEO OF HER TO COME OUT. I watch the shows. Hell, I have seen her camera man 'accidentally' stay panned in on her boobs too long. Or her 'co anchors' make comments that she didn't 'egg on'. So I know they aren't too 'broke up' about her video. I am sure they feel bad for her on one hand but BEST BELIEVE they are happier than a mug to see what is under them blazers and pants suits. I just hope that is not lost on her. I am SURE it is not but I hope that it isn't.
I wish her the best and am sorry that this happened to her. I feel bad for her. For real. There are some things to be discussed about this though. Things that in retrospect, I am sure even she will see and 'understand' if she does not already. I just wonder will the rest of the World?
A VERY good article on this subject: Fellas brace yourselves. Ladies too. This dude kept it BEYOND REAL. Which is a good thing to me. He didn't LIE AT ALL. He even USED HIS OWN LIFE EXPERIENCE in it to tie it all in...
Full article here:
I'll begin by answering this question: Can a very attractive woman ever be so good at what she does for a living that her attractiveness is ignored by men? I think the answer is no. No matter how equal the sexes ever become. And I get why that totally sucks for professional women.
Let's get this out of the way, if any perpetrator is found, he should be penalized to the fullest extent of the law for secretly filming Andrews inside her hotel room.
Period.
That could be under federal or state law for initial or subsequent distribution. The legal complexities of this situation make my head spin.
But I don't think we'll find this person. Why? Because the most brilliant computer minds in the country can't track down those who upload viruses on the Internet. Why do we believe we'll be able to find one pervert who uploaded the Erin Andrews peephole video in a country filled with millions of perverts?
And are the millions of perverts to blame? Did the sexual undercurrent of sports culture make something like this, frankly, unsurprising?
Let's begin with a thesis that I think most men will agree with: "If women truly knew how much time we spend thinking about sleeping with them, they'd never sleep with us."
Probably for the betterment of our society most women have no clue how sex-obsessed we men are in our ordinary lives. I know many women claim to understand, but they don't actually get it. It's like men claiming to understand the pain of giving birth. In theory, we get the concept, but we can't really grasp it. Men help hide this obsession because deep down we're all a little embarrassed by how much sex or the pursuit of sex motivates our actions. At least those of us who are smart enough to realize it. Marketers, television executives, movie producers, and others who make a living off society at large are not surprised by these obsessions. It's why every time I see one of those CSI-type shows, it involves a sex-crime gone awry. Often with a hot, young victim.
Remember back when Cinemax's softcore porn got you through high school? Well, now we live in a softcore porn universe. Everyone toes the line as best they can because sex moves products. Unless, God forbid, Janet Jackson's nipple gets revealed. And then, my God? What of the children?
We've drawn a weird line here that allows some companies in America to make money off sex while claiming that they aren't actually selling sex. Meet sports leagues. They support the troops. They would never sell sex. Except when they do.
Which ties right in with Andrews. Let's be clear, she's smart. She's good at what she does on the sideline; she's well-prepared, hard-working, professional, and always ready when the camera cuts to her. But, and this is the kicker, how many people in America could do Andrews' job for ESPN every bit as well as she does? I'll tell you, tens of thousands. Maybe even a million. Put plainly, Andrews wouldn't have her job if she looked like YouTube signing sensation Susan Boyle. No matter how good she was. She just wouldn't. Her looks open doors for her that no one else gets to walk through.
Now, once she's through that door she can demonstrate that she deserves the opportunity, that she's actually good at her craft. But it's her looks that open that door. And ESPN put her on television for one reason, because viewers, mostly male, are sexually attracted to her. Put it this way, if Andrews comes on the screen and the television is muted while I'm doing work, am I more likely to turn on the television to hear what she says than if it's an unattractive woman or Chris Berman?
Yes.
Does that make me stupid?
Maybe.
Does that make me like just about every other male watching television?
I think so.
And Google proves it. While we all may be wagging our heads and tut-tutting about the immorality of the video in question, Google search knows all of our private obsessions. And Google search confirms that come Monday morning, "Erin Andrews" and derivatives were the two most popular search terms in Google; the search graph looks like a bull market. Even by Tuesday afternoon as I write this, she was still sixth, seventh and eighth.
Why is this?
Because ESPN has been selling us softcore sex via Andrews for several years, building up demand for a moment just like this. If you counted how many times men have mentally undressed Andrews while she's giving sideline reports, it would be in the billions. So it's no surprise that tens of millions have viewed the videos. Men from all walks of life, from neurosurgeons to janitors, ESPN executives to the local fan. Erin Andrews working in a 2007 college football game at Texas A&M
But I bet it is a surprise to Andrews. And that really sucks for her. And for women everywhere. It also illustrates how much difference there is between the sexes. Is there any man on earth who women would flock to see ironing clothes naked? I mean for another reason besides confirming that some men do iron clothes for themselves. President Obama? Clooney? Denzel? Mangino?
Nope, nope, nope and yikes. So, right now most women are either offended or befuddled by men's interest. Our minds aren't meeting. And it ain't the first time. The Erin Andrews video is just the latest fault line in sexual politics. Only this time, sports are intimately involved.
I'll put this in a personal context. My wife was a Tennessee Titans cheerleader. I didn't really enjoy it very much to be honest. I was happy when we moved away and she couldn't try out again. Why? Because every time the cheerleaders danced on the field and everyone stood up in the crowd, I knew most men were picking out the girl they'd most like to have sex with. I'd done it for years. Chances are if you're male and you're reading this, you've done it too. There's no other real reason for the football cheerleaders to exist from a male perspective. They're sexual fantasies brought to life.
My wife disagreed that their cheer leading role was entirely based on selling softcore sex. She enjoyed the performance aspect, learning the dance routines, the friendships with the other girls, meeting young children across the community. And that's all a part of it. But more than anything else the leagues are selling sex to their male fans. And most women have no idea how deep that river of desire actually runs.
Then one day a little girl came up to her. "When I grow up, I want to be a Titans cheerleader," the girl said, holding her dad's hand.
"Well, you can do this, but you should want to be a doctor or a lawyer," my wife said.
"Naw, cheerleader'd be good," her dad said, leering.
Later my wife pulled me aside, "Clay, I think most Titans fans would rather their daughter grow up and be a cheerleader than a lawyer."
"I think you're right," I said.
Still do.
Because I think the message we're sending, fair or foul, is that no matter how good any woman is at her job, to a large majority of the men watching her at home, she's just the hot chick that they want to see naked. And you can't tell me that ESPN executives didn't know that too. That, even as they commiserate with Andrews via e-mail, phone calls or whatnot, a large percentage of her co-workers have probably sought out the Erin Andrews video somewhere on the Internet. Because they've probably been picturing her naked, too.
Men all say we all want a son to carry on the family name. But I think in this day and age that's not true anymore. I think we all just fear having a really hot daughter.
CLAY TRAVIS
My man church'd it. He is right. We use sex to sell everything. Even when we say we don't. Don't believe me? Go back and peep Mary Mary's performance on the BET Awards. Pay attention to your next couple of commercials.
As far as the man and the sex thing, did he lie fellas? Don't answer that, your woman might hear you and I don't care how 'open' minded you 'thank' she is, she isn't..Trust me. I KNOW. Women, stop snickering 'cause that EASILY could have been about YOU TOO. Ya'll do it too. Ya'll not watching Dhani Jones 'cause he is an 'expert' travel guide. Lets just say that...
Take note too to what he said about his wife. He was honest with her and himself. That type of honesty with yourself and who you deal with can go a LONG WAY. Go back and read it. I think it was refreshing. No game playing there. No "Naw honey, it is okay if you do that, I don't think anyone thinks nasty thoughts of you..." there...I love it. He kept it ONE HUNDRED. So much for that line in A Few Good Men "You want the truth? You can't handle the TRUTH!" That shoots that theory outta the window..
The daughter thing means something to me of course but I have always felt this way. Even before I had kids. Used to get teased about it by the 'cool dudes' in school who used to do things to women that they would shoot cats over now if it happened to their daughter. Just saying..
Lastly, like I said, ESPN is partly responsible for this as is the rest of TV. This is the environment that they feed DAILY. I mean, if I want news, I don't care WHO BRINGS IT TO ME. Most people aren't like that though and they know it.
