Brett Favre thinks the media coverage is ridiculous...I thought the statement was fine. I liked that he addressed the issues of alleged domestic violence and performance enhancing drugs. Cynics, of course, will tell you he was lying.
Made a good point about people following his child to and from school, that's unnecessary. At this point, it's just all about when will he play golf again.
I thought it was nice of him to hold the press conference at a time that it wouldn't interfere with USA Women's Curling
:lol:

I don't understand? Why does he need to apologize? He hasn't done anything to me? He's not a public servant, he's freakin golfer! If I was him I'd have taken that Trojan Tigers endorsement and told NIKE to go fly a kite. So he's a ho, so what? The only person he needs to answer to is his wife, and she's already schooled his ass.
I thought his statement was well said. For those without a personal or business interest no he doesn't owe you anything, but it doesn't hurt to come forward and say hey, I F'd up.

It's not about "owing" anyone anything. It's about managing an image. He's the most recognizable athlete maybe ever. He needed to step up and own it. A lot of people give a rats ass. To think otherwise is pretty naive. Golf fans, kids that look(ed) up to him, people who work for and are supported by his foundation, etc etc.
I heard the best description of the entire thing I have heard...to date. A local sports guy lamented. Tiger owes NOBODY nothing, except his wife and family. In turn the sponsors and the public have the right of free will to decide to dump him or forgive him? After all what can you say about him.
1) He is a phenominal golfer
2) He is a phenominally poor husband
MORE reason NOT to rely on sports figures for either ours or our childrens idols.

Just like London , Americans are drama queens , prop up " celebrities " as super human . I know he needs to make things right with his family , sponsers ect . I hope this story just goes the hell away , I can't believe every freakin channel had it on ? He is young,famous , rich and he screwed around .... like nobody before him has ever done that ? I feel bad for those who felt that " they had to see the PC " .... leave him and his family alone .
