    SF,

    Still kind of fascinating.

    1. Wonder if mom was the source of daughter's "insights" or, if not, if she is pissed. She probably figures everyone can make that assumption on their own.

    2. How much is this debacle going to cost Woods, who is know to be tight with a dollar.

    3. How incestuous has the news business become?

    Many times we have not run AP stories because they don't meet our standards of sourcing.

    Frankly, I'm more interested to know why Uchitel needed at attorney in the first place.

    Well, first, I think she simply thought she needed one once her name was out there. Doesn't surprise me considering the familiy THAT CALLED 911 hired an attorney. Everybody hires an attorney, 21, you know that.

    Ace, it's fascinating, true. But of all the years I've dealt with AP, I've never had a story more crystal clear that I wouldn't run. Ever. 32 years.

    I should have gone to law school.

    To handle all the monetary offers, obviously.

    It's not too late, not in this Age of Reinvention for journalists (past, present and future)!

    Nah. Moddy's better off sending the little Moddy's to law school and hoping they are grateful.

    My favorite Tiger freport this week was the one back on Tuesday or Wednesday where someone reported with a straight face that Tiger has been on the phoen most of the day with Nike, etc. making sure everythihg is okay.

    Are you freakin' kidding me!!!!??? Guy's marriage has a three-alarm fire in progress and he's on the phone with Phil Knight et al telling them everything is cool.

    If it were me, Elin gets $100 million right now, sole custody of the kids, and Tiger gets tossed back out onto that same spot on the lawn where he was found snoring with nothing more than a sleeping bag, a bag of chips, a couple of cokes and the cell phone that has Rachel and Jaimie on speed dial.

    The WaPo Style section today ran pictures of Rachel and Jaimee today. Cutlines were reversed, though. I chuckled, then realized I was way too obsessed with this story.

    EVery photo I"ve seen of Uchitel, you can't really see her. Big sunglasses, closeup shots. Grubbs is just the opposite.

    Good point about Uchitel, but the one in the post was with her without sunglasses. Had to look twice to make sure that was really her. Kinda weird not seeing her with sunglasses on.

    Still...Rachel > Jaimee
