Deadspin.com reports that the Florida Highway Patrol “has ended their investigation of the Thanksgiving Night mishap that Changed America Forever. No criminal charges will be filed. Just a small fine and a very big marital mess.”

Aside from a small fine and four points (ouch!) on his driving record, Tiger is in the clear from a criminal standpoint. His golden boy image? Not so much. The gossip around the water cooler is that the accident was an indirect result of a fight Tiger had with his wife, Elin. The cause of the fight? Quite possibly one or more extramarital affairs that Eldrick (his given name) has had. Let’s just say one or more of the girls of VH1′s “Tool Academy” seem to be on a first-name basis with our Tiger.

My question – do you care? Because I don’t. I have zero, zilch, nada interest in golf. I continue to have (pretty much) zero, zilch, nada interest in Tiger and this story. In fact, I never quite understood the fascination with him. I “get” that he is far and away the best golfer of his generation (probably any generation), but as a human being I don’t find him charismatic or interesting. I don’t like or dislike him – even now with these latest revelations.

Call me jaded and cynical. Give me 60 seconds and I can easily name a dozen or more respectable, married men in the public eye or have been caught acting inappropriately. It no longer surprises me. I still don’t get it. And can I just say that Elin Nordegren is so much prettier than the two girls that have (so far) been outed as flings of Tiger. Go figure.

So do YOU care and is there a story here worth discussing?
