The ORLANDO SENTINEL reports two attorneys for the neighbors of Tiger Woods who called 911 after the golfer’s car accident said today that Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren was trying to help the golfer, not injure him.
“He was laying in the road. Mrs. Woods was beside him trying to help him,” Sharp said. “He couldn’t get up. Whether he was conscious, unconscious, I don’t know. She (Nordegren) was trying to help him. She wasn’t trying to do further damage.”
While Woods was completely out of it, and Nordegren later furnished attending EMTs with two prescription pill bottles, the the Adames family “saw no indication that Woods and wife Elin Nordegren were fighting or that drugs or alcohol was involved.” Read more…
The ORLANDO SENTINEL with some crushing news for the Florida Gator football team this morning, reporting:

RachelUchitel (photos) gave a long first-person denial to the NEW YORK POST this morning. Most of her wrath was reserved for the two female sources of the story, though she did not name them. Using “f—ing hooker” and “trainwreck” to describe them, and claiming another did drugs, she said the sources overheard her booking a bachelor party that Tiger Woods would be attending on the phone.
From that “four-hour” phone conversation, Uchitel said the sources somehow connected her to a relationship with Woods to the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
I got a random phone call from somebody who needed to set up a bachelor party in Vegas. He said, ‘Tiger Woods was going to be with us, can you set us up?’ I said sure.
… “[One of the sources] is just looking for a payday because she is a f- - -ing hooker and wants money. She just got a little smart for once and put some things together she could use for a story.
She also (superficially) addressed her checking into Woods’ hotel in Melbourne and her past alleged relationship with David Boreanaz of Fox-TV’s Bones.
I’ve located some shocking, amateur cellphone video of an Arizona State football player landing a LeGarrette Blount-like punch on a University of Arizona football player after the two teams met last Saturday.
(Video was pulled off Youtube, but animation still shows what happened)
After Alex Zendejas kicked a last-second field goal to give the Wildcats the 20-17 win over the Sun Devils, players from both teams streamed together at midfield, and that’s when it got ugly.

Legendary Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, who built one of college football’s greatest dynasties in 34 seasons with the Seminoles, plans to announce his retirement Tuesday morning, sources close to the situation told ESPN.com.
Sources told ESPN.com that offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher, who was named Bowden’s eventual successor near the end of the 2007 season, has agreed to contract terms to replace Bowden after this season. The school’s booster organization would have owed Fisher $5 million if he didn’t replace Bowden by January 2011.
After a meeting with Florida State President T.K. Wetherell earlier today, Bowden was really given no choice to retire. Read more…
Barring an overzealous Florida Highway Patrol looking to avenge embarrassment by the world’s biggest sports celebrity, it appears Tiger Woods is in the clear regarding his car accident. I actually think that most informed observers empathize with Woods now, as it’s obvious his strategy with the FHP is designed expressly to protect his wife Elin Nordegren.
But there are still more potholes (fire hydrants?) that Woods may have to negotiate, despite his alleged mistress RachelUchitel(photos) denying she had an affair with Woods.
The biggest potential issue for Woods is the NATIONAL ENQUIRER releasing more damaging information about his alleged affair, which it has promised to do. Read more…

PALM BEACH POST gossip Jose Lambiet has fresh intel today on Tiger Woods‘ alleged mistress, Rachel Uchitel.
Uchitel is the granddaughter of powerful Cleveland banker and amateur golfer Warner Bishop, who moved to The Island with a much younger wife in the 1990s. He died in 2001 at 82. And her mom is socialite Susan Bishop.
