Is The 'X Factor' Bloodbath Over?
BlackVoices History Quest: Augusta, Georgia
Others are stating that Rachel Uchitel backed out of the news conference, in part, because she fears for her safety. A source told TMZ that Uchitel doesn't fear Tiger Woods, but instead fears those who have a financial interest in his professional life.
I believe that Rachel Uchitel did have an affair with Tiger Woods, but then again, it's not my business. But the truth is that there appears to be a great deal of scrambling behind the scenes to make things right in Woods' favor. The disappearance of a squeaky clean Tiger Woods and the reappearance of a cheating and lying Tiger Woods is going to cost someone tens of millions of dollars (as I mention in this video appearance with ABC News). What is saddest is that many people have been "privately punished" for smaller amounts than that.
As of this moment, Woods has been allegedly renegotiating his prenup with his wife, Elin Nordegren. He has also been apologizing profusely to the public. It appears that this will be the last major scandal in the life of Tiger Woods for a very long time.

What is sad about this mess is the fact that Tiger's wife and children are the ones that will suffer the most while the money men try to clean up this mess. A cheater is a cheater, I could care less who he or she happen to be. I am sick of these low life people getting a free ride while the wife and childen live a nightmare.

What say we turn the conversation toward a topic with a little more substance,like THE TROOPS THAT PRES. OBAMA WILL BE SENDING TO AFGHANISTAN? That's something a little more pressing.

The real "HO" is Tiger Woods. Woods is a serial womanizer and trolled for available women. This occurred even after he married Elin and she was pregnant with his children. That's cheating when you break your promises. Tigers' lawyers are paying off these women to protect his future money earnings not because he is innocent. Elin should get every cent he earns as he could of sentenced her with death by bringing home the present of aids, or some other disgusting sexual disease!

It's ironic how Tiger, who has an African American father but who, to this day, denies his Blackness, is now being treated like the n***r he is in the eyes of white folks, with whom he most readily identifies!

Jon and Kate must be happy they are no longer the talk of the town. This is just another story to distract us from the real issues concerning our country. What Tiger Woods or anyone for that matter do in their private lives is their own business. Wake up people, news like this is only to keep use oppressed by redirecting our energy on meaningless things.

Nadine you are so right this is a news story only, not a public story, because we could care less about Tigers personal life. We have some real issues in this country, the news use to be about the truth and real issues now its just a Tabloid magazine. Nadine you hit the nail on the Head, your comment should have been the only one published.

I just realized that Tiger’s trophy for 2009 player of the year was misspelled…it should have read…”Tiger Woods, 2009 ‘Playa’ of the Year! (and apparently, 2-time defending titleholder)

This story about Tiger is really amusing because it has the sex scandal,the extra martial affairs etc, but really who is he hurting other than himself and his family.When people say he is a role model to children maybe if they partake more in their kids life they would not need to look for role models outside the house.As a BLACK MAN we all are disappointed that Tiger doesnt want to claim his blackness but he would be denying his Asian heritage that being said maybe if Tiger father would of install to him that you are considered black even if its only you are half.I bet he was giving these females the Black part of him than the Asian part.The only thing that i worry about is that when a powerful Blackman succeeds they always want to tear them down.But as men we have to be smarter.
