Super PAC Shock: GOP Group Considering Bringing Back…
Pastor Carjacked At Detroit Gas Station
Whether a one-night hook-up or a long-running romance, a relationship without marriage rarely requires lawyers.
Why call in a legal expert unless there's a pre-nup to negotiate, a will to write or a divorce to handle?
Tiger Woods's sex life, on the other hand, has been a holiday gift to lawyers from one U.S. coast to the other, and overseas, too.
Of course he hired a criminal defense lawyer, Mark NeJame, after the car crash that broke open his secrets. He exercised his right to remain silent when police sought him out, most probably on advice of counsel.
But when more than a dozen alleged paramours emerged, the legal issues grew more interesting.
Woods's London lawyers won a court order this month barring British news organizations from publishing what purported to be nude photos of Woods but which his legal team claimed didn't exist.
More lawyers no doubt were called in when companies that pay the formerly squeaky-clean Woods to endorse their products no longer wanted to associate with him.
And you can bet whatever Woods says these days, which isn't much, has been vetted by attorneys.
But what about all those women? Some have enlisted counsel, too, and you have to wonder why... Rumors of hush money float about in tabloids and on celebrity gossip Web sites.
Lawyers for the car crash, lawyers to deal with losing endorsements, (allegedly) lawyers to pay the hush money, lawyers to stop nude photos from being published... Wow! At hundreds of dollars an hour, Tiger Woods, Inc. will be putting out quite a bit of quid for months to come in attorneys' fees.
People are debating whether Elin should get half of Tiger Woods' earnings due to his outrageous cheating. Well, Elin better hurry up and divorce Tiger, before his lawyers take it all! Sorting out the aftermath of Woods' alleged affairs could be an unending process.

I am white and I agree with you guys..His issues should not be posted here. When you deny the very things that made you, you are setting yourself up for failure. Black men who are thrown into a white world loses it everytime! They are really sad, the joke always come back to them.

Let's get real....there is only one color everyone in this world is concerned about....in the USA, it's green backs (money). Money has so many colors around the world, the same goes for the vast races of mankind. Tiger likes white blond & burnettes women. He does not consider himself a black man, his mistake is he thinks money can buy off his 1/2% or 1/3% African and Asian roots. As our President Obama said about his hertiage....I AM A MUTT! Jake has African, West Indian, Native American Indian and European, now that makes me a MUTT! A Proud Black Mutt! Very stong bloodlines.

I am no fan of Tiger. But he like other dumb black athelete's picked up trash and cleaned her up. But when Michael Jordan cheated on his wife the media did not plaster him all over the internet and T.V. Oh - Juanita is of mixed raced - more african decent - so that makes it okay for Michael Jordan to do what he did to her.

People need to respect others as human beings and get out of their personal life, there ought to be LAWS that only allow so much media coverage of someones life, and then a harrasment suit is filed, I can't, and no one else can pass jugement on anyone on this earth!

El-Dicko [aka Tiger Woods], way to go brothah. Way to swing that "club". Too bad you didn't get it ALL done before you got married -- therein lies the rub. I have every faith that your superior skill, your focused discipline, and the angel Earl Woods will carry you through. He's got your back. Trust me. Now that you have sown some wild oats among some snow bunnies [that ALL of us good ol' red blooded men of ALL races and inclinations have dreamed about doing at one time or another and even now occasionally], it is time to continue demonstrating your superior mastery within the the newer more difficult off-the-course American game -- profssional damage control and politics. Pay some people [but not everybody], take your endorsement and media licks, don't do too much talking, make up with your wife, hug, love, kiss, and spend quality time with her and your darling babies, work out, pump some iron, hit plenty of balls, and don't let "them" take away your joy, that brain of yours, or that fantastic smile. We miss seeing you out on the links. Be bless. From one of your Dad Earl's 82nd Airborne friends at Fort Bragg, NC. Hoorah!
