The Curious Case of Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods was involved in a car accident on the day after Thanksgiving. Details are conflicting, but police report that Woods left his Florida mansion in the early hours of Friday morning, and while backing out of his own driveway, crashed into a fire hydrant, then his neighbor's tree. His allegedly wife knocked out a window of his Cadillac Escalade with a golf club to get him out.

Since then, a maelstrom of media coverage has developed: Was Tiger drunk? Was he in a fight with his wife? Is he cheating on her? And on and on. Do you think the media is being fair in it's coverage of Tiger Woods' car accident? Today David, Scott, and Austin discuss why we as Americans love to hear about celebrity scandals – even when the scandal is a minor as a fender bender. After you read their opinions, have your say by leaving a comment.

UPDATE:  Tiger Woods responded today to recent allegations:

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. 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."
