It can't be another Tiger Woods sexting incident, can it?  Well of course it can, it's the story that won't quit!  George Michael, the one time rock star and a person that has been in the crosshairs of a scandal on a few occasions during his career, has a song entitled "Freedom" which contains a poignant lyric that Tiger Woods must be thinking is so appropriate right about now.  It goes "they notice fast..and some mistakes were built to last".  Well the albatross that has become Tiger's many mistresses took another turn recently with the release of a letter than contained months worth of racy text messages from the golfing great.  She even went as far as to be sure to give the letter a title (we should all be so thankful): "Its time to tell the truth about Tiger".

This must have been another brutal slap in the face for the golfing greats wife Elin Nordegren, who has had to endure months now of hearing woman after woman coming forward and saying I had sex with your husband, or I am his real mistress blah blah.  Woods just detailed recently months of therapy that he has gone through for his admitted sexual problems, and it appears that his wife was willing to give him another chance, going as far as to attend counseling with him in the past month.  It would certainly a lot to have to endure and no one would have blamed her for walking out and taking him for all he was worth.

On the other hand, here we have Woods who just in the past week released a statement letting the world know that after undergoing extensive therapy for his addiction, that he felt the time was right for him to return to the competitive golf scene, which he announced would be taking place at next month's Masters in Augusta, Ga.  He certainly had to count himself lucky that his wife was giving him the opportunity to makes amends, as well as the fact that he could get back out on tour.  The whole sordid affair(s) has taken a devastating toll on his reputation and earnings power.  Whereas he used to make untold millions on commercials and products he endorsed, he now is at a point where most of his major sponsors, sans Nike, have beaten the dusty trail and left him to make his money doing golf only.  Still his personal life seemed to be on a bit of a rebound until the release of the messages below. Not to get too graphic, but the facts that seem to leap off the page are these:

Tiger was very secretive (not enough I guess!).  Many
