Elin Nordegren People better seller than Sandra's by Suzannah B. Troy

The new issue of People Magazine due out this Friday will leave the Sandra Bullock cover in the dust in terms of sales.

Speaking of this Tuesday, Sandra Bullock will be on Matt Lauer's tv show but she won't talk about baby Louis or Jesse James; she will only talk about Hurricane Katrina.

Back to Elin and People....apparently she had a lot to say.  Sad thing is is Tiger Woods still doesn't get it and when asked about her thoughts he said "I feel the same way."  Wake up Tiger.  You are not capable of feeling the same way.  Here is the video of Tiger posted on TMZ.

Elin Nordegren tells people, "I feel stronger than ever."

She does talk about insomnia, weight loss, hair loss and any one going through trauma or mourning a death whether of a person or a marriage can relate.  (I have been through that when I had to leave my home of 20 years and it was not spousal abuse.)  About half of Americans will get divorced and there are plenty more that want out so this caught people's attention but also because Tiger Woods was such a liar and lead such a dark double life so it will be interesting what happens now that he is free to do what he pleases as long as he doesn't jeopardize his relationship any further.  As these kids get older they will need parenting tips about how to deal with kids taunting them about Woods shocking behavior while married to their Mom.

The People Magazine due out this Friday will see like the Iphone4.  Well not as hot as that but it will be a hot item.  People want to hear what she has to say and what she will do.  How about becoming a model for Adidas?

Here is an article from The New York Times about the Elin Nordegren ending her silence.

I would not want to endure what Elin Nordegren did and I feel sorry for the kids.  It is hard to believe she did not lay a hand or a golf club on him.   She has lived the American Dream starting as an au pere and ending up a mega-millionairess.  Good luck and Elin, I just got my nails done.  My nail polish "I am PeaceKeeper" and all the money for Peacekeeper products go to helping abused women....Please do something to help people that are not as lucky as you that can't walk away and take the kids when they need to.

Pride on,

Greg Camarillo Replaces Vikings Sidney Rice ; Rex Ryan and Tom Brady Feud

A busy day in the NFL. While the NFL Owners state their interest in having an 18-game season, but only as part of a new labor deal, the Miami Dolphins send Wide Receiver Greg Camarillo to The Minnesota Vikings, and NY Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan feuds with New England Patriots QB Tom Brady.

The Vikings traded for the efficient receiver Greg Camarillo (50 catches for 550 yards in 2009) to make up for the loss of Sidney Rice, who's out due to a hip injury. Indeed, the Vikings needed more depth at wideout not just because of Rice's problem, but Percy Harvin's headache issues. Now they have Jevon Walker, Greg Camarillo, Harvin, and Bernard Berrian. In turn they gave up Cornerback Benny Sapp.

Tom Brady and Rex Ryan Feud

Nothing spices up an NFL rivalry like an old fashioned feud, and we've got one going between Rex Ryan and Tom Brady.

According to EPSN, Tom Brady started the talking by saying he didn't the Jets, and would not watch their how Hard Knocks: "I haven't turned it on," Brady said. "I hate the Jets, so I refuse to support that show."

Coach Ryan didn't make it any better. "Hell, he knows we hate the Patriots," Ryan said. "So what's the difference? ... I don't like Tom Brady. I respect him, but I don't like him."

If you think about it, that's the way it's supposed to be: one rival team's suppose to hate the other team. So, it's really not news except that Ryan and Brady are football celebrities.

Oakland City Council Race: Jennifer Pae Gets Alameda Sup Keith Carson's Backing

Jenn Pae

A slowly developing challenge to Oakland City Council District Two Councilmember Patricia Kernighan now has the magical look of an upset effort. Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson has announced he's backing Jennifer Pae as the next District Two Councilmember for Oakland.

"I am honored to have the support of Supervisor Keith Carson," said Pae. "Supervisor Carson has a long history of protecting working families and I look forward to working with him on ways we can invest in Oakland."

Jennifer Pae is a 28-year-old Korean American community organizer who has been involved in a number of grassroots political efforts in Oakland.

Pat Kernighan

It's not the only bit of news from Jenn's campaign: she's also out-raised the incumbent Councilmember Kernighan by (according to the last reporting period) over $10,000, or $36,638 versus $20,393.

While Pat reportedly has raised $47,000 overall, and before her last cocktail-oriented event, for Jennifer to beat the pants off Pat over the last period should come as a wake-up call for the incumbent.

If it didn't, then Keith's backing of Jenn should tell Pat that this may be the beginning of the end. At the very least, it's interesting.

Stay tuned.

ESPN's Tim Cowlishaw Panned : Darrelle Revis Fails To Sign WIth NY Jets

Darrelle Revis will not appear on HBO's Hard Knocks, at least for now.

Well, this space was rooting for ESPN's Tim Cowlishaw's bold tweet to materialize into reality, but as of this writing at 3 PM EST, it hasn't. New York Jets Cornerback Darrelle Revis has not signed with the New York Jets today, Wednesday.

This just happens to be the very same Wednesday that Cowlishaw, the Dallas Morning News Columnist, and ESPN Around The Horn star, predicted Revis would come and sign with the New York Jets.

But, as Mike Florio reports at Pro Football Talk.com, New York Jets Owner Woody Johnson said that the Revis situation remains "status quo." Which in turn means Tim's got egg on his face.

Tim Cowlishaw's bold Twitter tweet was met with a lot of derision from New York Jets beat writers, who both feared that Tim scooped them and believed they better knew the situation with the Jets and what Revis was or wasn't going to do.

Now that the deal hasn't went down, Tim Cowlishaw's reputation's taking a whipping online, and especially on Twitter. Here's some choice items:

Hern_Quin - @aroundthehorn Is it true @TimCowlishaw won an Emmy for "Revis and Butthead" the Lost Episode? @WoodyPaige @BillPlaschke

MikeD713 - @TimCowlishaw quiet are we ? #liar http://myloc.me/b3Hzn

USC AD Pat Haden Thinks Reggie Bush Should Give Back Heisman

This just in: on The Dan Patrick Show this morning, USC Athletic Director Pat Haden said that if he were New Orleans Saints and former USC Running Back Reggie Bush, with Pat Haden's soul, he would return the Heisman Trophy he won in 2005.

"If I were Reggie Bush with Pat Haden's soul, I would say yes. Reggie Bush was a great player, an exciting player. But the NCAA report says that we must disassociate ourselves from Reggie."

This is USC officially throwing Reggie Bush under the bus. Now, it's all over the place with ESPNs Erin Andrews blasting the news out on radio.

To recap, Reggie Bush won the Heisman in 2005, but with USC suffering from severe NCAA sanctions including a 2-year postseason ban, loss of football scholarships, and the vacating of wins in the 2004-05 championship season, in the wake of alleged improper gifts to Bush, much has changed. Mike Garrett was fired as athletic director at Southern Cal, and replaced by USC Football Quarterback and NFL Analyst Pat Haden.

Pat Haden has waisted no time in trying to disassociate USC from Reggie Bush, a totally impossible task.

More on this today.

Elin Nordegren in People on Tiger Woods Divorce and family

No More  

In an online teaser to sell their offline magazine on Friday, (they should have done a video as well), People Magazine shares what Tiger Woods now-ex-wife Elin Nordegren says after her divorce from Tiger Woods last Monday.

Elin said this:

I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children. I also feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself.

She should also add that having a lot of money helps.

Tiger Woods' World Ends

To recap, over the time of their marriage Tiger Woods had sex with as many as 14 different women. All of this slowly came to Elin Nordegren's attention starting Thanksgiving night 2009, when Woods had to explain a phone call from one of his mistress friends, in that case Rachel Uchitel.

In trying to take a late night drive to escape arguing with Elin, an ambien-drugged Woods crashed his car. That set in motion a wild chain of events, marked by almost every one of his women using the situation for their own benefit, or trying to.

Remember Porn Star Holly Sampson?



Seeing all of this and being all the more hurt by it, was Tiger Woods wife Elin Nordegren. Now, after working to stay out of the public eye and sending a message by not appearing anywhere with Woods, her divorce (that as it turns out she sought when he elected to return to Golf when she wanted him to quit for her) is final.

It's the reason, the real reason, Tiger Woods' golf game is terrible: he lost what he probably believed he would always have: Elin Nordegren.

In a way, Tiger Woods is starting to remind me of Charles Foster Kane. He, of the movie Citizen Kane, believed he could just buy things and people. Until, in the end, he lost all of them and passed away alone.

Of course, it's too early in Tiger Woods life to write that kind of story. I hope.
