So around 6:40 this morning I hear Mully & Hanley interviewing a reporter from Orlando regarding the medical event which occurred during the night at Tiger Woods' place. The reporter relays key information in which he notes that the person in the ambulance was a middle-aged woman & that the Escalade which followed it to the hospital appeared to driven by be Elin Nordegren. He added that the person observed on the stretcher may have been Tiger's mother-in-law.

Following the 7:00 am break I flip over to Mike & Mike and am surprised to hear them describe the situation as (paraphrased) "a woman from Tiger Woods' estate was rushed to the hospital late last night. The ambulance was followed by an Escalade similar to the one that Tiger drove into the tree."...clearly leading the listener to believe Elin had been rushed to the hospital and Tiger had followed. Greenie then added that they "didn't want to jump to conclusions but certainly a number of scenarios come to mind". It seemed to me that he was implying either that Elin had attempted suicide or was the victim of domestic abuse. During the next break the update guy sticks with this version of events - at least 30 minutes after it had been refuted on The Score. What gives? :?

ESPN partakes in Sensationalism? Who would possibly say that?

Next you will be telling me they have an east coast bias. Oh please.
