will this Tiger Woods story every end?

From the beginning the Tiger Woods story is that it's the perfect storm of celebrity, sports, sex, hookers and infidelity.  From the first sign of a crack in Tiger's armor on Thanksgiving night when he crashed his car into a fire-hydrant, the gossip rags, tabloids and around-the-clock newscycle has been almost giddy with their early Christmas gift.  The saddest thing was to see the all-sports-channels wrestle with this story over the last two weeks as they couldn't figure out if covering it would somehow diminish their credibility.   In one respect it's not a 'sports' story and the hollier-than-thou SportsPopes wouldn't stoop so low to cover a story which featured hookers,wife cheating and more hookers.   Most sports-channels and talk-show hosts tried their best to move their show's formats away from the speculation and gossip hounds and seemed almost insulted that their audiences were almost badgering them to cover it.   So when Tiger announced that he would be taking an indefinite break from Golf, it finally gave all of these self-rigeous slobs a reason to acknowledge the story the rest of the country has been talking about for 2+ weeks.nnMind you that these are the same group of idiots who host events like 'pasta-palooza', 'box-office blitz's' have countless hours of discussions on the Sopranos and cover the boring nuances of a pitch-counts but god-forbid they even acknowledge a story like this.

What gets me is not that they weren't really covering the story because as long as the story was only about a golfer cheating on his wife, it could be ignored by the sports-community but when Tiger finally did the sportswriters the favor of pulling the sport into it, they were like a kid in a candy story and the floodgates were released.   Up until that point these sports commentators act like they are the Walter Cronkite of their generation, as if they have that kind of credibility and wouldn't possibly stoop so low as to cover a celebrity sex-scandal but add to the fact that Tiger is walking out on golf and all of a sudden it's like the entire operation is taken over by PageSix. 


It's not like these guys cover anything really important..
