As a blogger, I would like to thank Tiger Woods. It’s been fairly mundane in the sports world after the Super Bowl. NBA All-Star Dunk Weekend was a dud and the Olympics have been the biggest Canadian failure since Bryan Adams.

So when word leaked that Tiger was having a “press conference” on Friday at 11am, every sports medium woke up from their slumber. By the way, the word “press” is used loosely here. According to his agent, “a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates” will be in attendance. Sounds like it’s going to be held around a campfire with smores…

“Tiger Woods will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates at 11:00 a.m. EST Friday at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida,” an e- mailed statement from Woods’s agent, Mark Steinberg, said. “Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologize for his behavior.”

Woods obviously has taken some recovery steps, Steinberg said in a telephone interview.

“Tiger feels as though it’s time to make amends and to publicly do that,” the agent said. “This has all come together quite quickly.”

It has come together quickly Mr. Steinberg…so quickly that Tiger was seen for the first time publicly today outside his home in Florida jogging…or is that yogging?

Ron Burgundy: Oop… I almost forgot. I won’t be able to make it fellas. Veronica and I trying this new fad called uh, jogging. I believe it’s jogging or yogging. it might be a soft j. I’m not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It’s supposed to be wild.
