I'm slightly amazed at the comments to my comments.

I was in no way justifying domestic violence (See School of Obviousness).

But from the School of Commonsense and Knowledge of Nasty Spousal Relations, I can tell you that, assuming what people surmise is correct:

A very attractive, still young woman, i.e., still wants to preserve her looks, who is the mother of young children, i.e., wants to protect her tender offspring, does not wail on her super-successful, multimillionaire, celebrity husband who's been rumored to have been a non-stop Lothario/Don Juan for just nothing.

He said something. It was probably outrageous.

Further Affiant Sayeth Not.

And a good weekend to all.

@Seeräuber Jenny: We're mystified because an exchange of words, under any circumstances, should NEVER result in physical violence.

What she said or what he said is of no consequence in this debate.

The reactions to your original post were all clearly heavy handed given Tiger is a big boy who can take care of himself. Trying to use the relationship of the richest athlete in the world to make generalizations about domestic abuse is kind of ridiculous. None of us know the true dynamics of this relationship.

@Penscribe:

We don't even know what happened, how can you possibly say that?

People lose their tempers and it devolves into physical violence all the time. It would be better if it didn't, but ithas been known to happen.

What was said does matter.

Personally, assuming that what's been reported is accurate, I am not particularly mystified.

@Seeräuber Jenny: I'm not stating it did happen. I am stating that your comment that if domestic violence did occur, it's fine because someone *said* something that's worth a physical response.

It's would not be acceptable because it happens on a daily basis.

If she did, should this story be treated in the same manner as the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident?

Elin, this is NOT how you secure a favorable divorce settlement. Come the fuck on, now. You don't even have to hire a private dick to look into Tiger's infidelity. TMZ is doing it for you. Just wait, then win. That's all there is to it.

Hoo boy. How about the end of the story - where the Enquirer says they have even more info they will release later?

Mr. Woods, you need some crisis management, stat.

There needs to be MUCH MORE hazing of that new kid for reporting the spin as fact. Great Jumping Jesus, there are not enough eyerolls in the God damned world for that shit. *storms away, muttering* Gawker, this is fucking Gawker fer Chrissakes...

Ravi's good people, I promise, he's worthy of a coveted lemon square. Also, I'm trying to purport the Caddyshack-Gopher Theory, so, you know, there's that.

Anything that evokes a CaddyShack reference is okay with me.

And comon, do we really think that the sports superstar plus drop dead gorgeous wife are a "true" couple?

Yeah, I'm sure if he wasn't Tiger Woods and she wasn't beautiful, eHarmony would totally match them up.

Judge Smails: You know, you should play with Dr. Beeper and myself. I mean, he's been club champion for three years running and I'm no slouch myself.

Ty Webb: Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch.

Why does everyone assume she's pissed about the cheating? Could be she's just ficking fudd up with golf.

@Matt Cherette: No offense to your mom, but I think everyone crowing "called it" on this one should probably step off. Anyone possessing even the slightest capacity for critical thought knew that the "she busted his rear window to pull him from the wreckage" story was a steaming pile of wet horseshit from the moment it was introduced. Dude was driving a huge SUV at a slow rate of speed and the impact of the crash didn't even set off the airbags, so, I mean, COME ON. So again, those boasting about being the second-coming of Nancy Drew need to chill.

However, on the flip side, people who read that story and bought it without having an internal Drudge siren going off in their heads should probably just go out and drown themselves in the first Port-O-Potty they come across, because life is just going to sodomize their souls continuously until it finally puts them out of their misery.
