Last weekend on Saturday Night Live, NBC drove Tiger Woods hard. In a skit, faux Tiger and wife Elin held a press conference, which got interrupted after a surprised Elin heard Tiger admit he had made "multiple transgressions." The shot cut away, but then Tiger returned, arm in a sling, claiming that he accidentally fell down a flight of stairs and "launched [himself] through a plate-glass window." The audience chuckled. In the Weekend Update segment, Seth Meyers teed Tiger up, noting that his sponsors were sticking with him, "a gesture that only means one thing - women don't watch...

It’s hard to escape the impression that Tenenbaum rather likes where he’s at. Short, and solidly built, clad in a black leather jacket, with an arm in a sling from a snowboarding accident, he ticks off for me the media outlets that the Tenenbaum team has reached: pretty much everything but the New York Times, it seems, much to his wry chagrin. At this point, Joel has participated in public panel discussions about his case. He’s had the opportunity to engage in meandering philosophical conversations with one of the nation?...
