From Rick Reilly’s blog. (Yes, he has a blog.)

Until Woods answers some questions, he is only teaching his students that the best thing to do in a crisis is to run and hide.

These are those questions:

1) What made him lose control of his car?
2) Why did it happen at 2:25 a.m.?
3) If his wife, Elin, was indeed coming to his aid as he lay unconscious in the front seat of his Cadillac Escalade, why did she smash out the rear windows?
4) Why won’t he speak to the Florida Highway Patrol about the accident?
5) Did the report from the National Enquirer just days before that he was seeing another woman play a role in the early-morning wreck?

That pretty much sums up what everyone wants to know. Woods has always been a private person, and the events of the last few days have rocked his world. If this had happened to a regular Joe, he wouldn’t owe an explanation to anyone (save the police). But since Woods is a huge celebrity, his life is under a microscope. The questions aren’t going to go away, so he might as well answer them.

Tiger Woods’ late-night car accident and his (alleged) affair with Rachel Uchitel sadly continues to be the top story in the sports world. There are plenty of other places to get your fill of this sordid mess, but I’d rather just point you to what Tiger is currently acknowledging:

Per his website:

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.

I feel like this will evolve into a grueling ordeal, one in which Tiger will probably end up with a tarnished reputation. Regardless of what happens, at least he’s safe. Adulterer or not, the guy could have either been killed or injured in a way as to ruin his career.
