“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” Woods said on his Web site. “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. 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.
“Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
“But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.
“Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.
“I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.”
- Tiger Woods
Tiger’s Woods voicemail to mistress… For a perfectionist, he sure sucks as covering his tracks. Peyton never lets this happen.
Sidenote: I really hate that my two sports God’s are cheaters. I need Captain Comeback to get hired by Michigan, lead them and the Big Ten back to prominence, and do it without pulling a Pitino.
Other sidenote: Did Tiger just pull the one scenario where his wife can get mad at him for going golfing?
Tom Morello melts some faces with The Boss at the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert…. Watch it while you can.
That shot of Brady and the coach who will not be named looking like they were about to throw up on the sidelines together was the ultimate schadenfreude…. I want to bake that look into a pie and put my Simmons’ ice cream on top of it.
I wish I could churn Bill Simmons’ upcoming break down of the Saints - Pats game (in hopefully both podcast’s and a column) into ice cream, and eat it slowly with a spoon.
Hilarious short/promo for Louis CK’s new FX show

“He’d rather you didn’t utter his name. Beginner’s luck? Fine. The man behind the man in Indianapolis is an old soul who wins players over.”
I - Initiate conversation
R - Remove clothes
I - Ignore feelings

K - Kick to the curb.
The Irick System… I don’t want to hear any of this “Dennis” talk.
The Matt Irick Blog
I am a self loathing Tumblr. My main uses for this blog are "following" my real life friends (minority), and looking at pictures of internet savvy girls I find attractive (vast majority).
Every once in a while I post things as well...
