Tiger Woods and Accenture

You know you're in trouble when management consultants no longer want anything to do with you.
Accenture have ended their sponsorship with serial shagger Tiger Woods as he is no 'longer the right representative for its advertising'.
If you understand what management consultants do you might enjoy these gags over at SpendMatters.
Any suggestions for new commercial liaisons for the new raunchy Tiger?

Tiger off the menu

"It's tragic. I think this whole thing is tragic. I am in touch with his wife Elin Nordegren now and then. Me and my husband Mike have been out dining with Elin and Tiger on a few occasions. Perhaps it won't happen as often now."
Former top-ranked women's golfer Annika Sorenstam gets to the real heart of the matter.
Who will she and Mike have dinner with now?
Here's his tearful statement in full.

Why Dean Ashton must not sue

Sad, but not unexpected, news about the retirement of West ham forward Dean Ashton at the age of 26.
The ankle he broke when on England duty has never healed properly and he has decided to call it a day instead of risking permananet disability if he carries on.
But any talk of him taking legal action against Shaun Wright-Philips, Chelsea, the FA or West Ham must be merely that - talk.
Nothing is to be gained by football failing to clean up its own mess. The player is due compensation but the court is not the place to do it. If he does go to law the floodgates of litigation will well and truly be open.
The FA must take the lead and co-ordinate his payout with help from the players' union, the PFA.

Baron Cohen sued for $110m

Sacha Baron Cohen is being sued for $110m by a Palestinian he branded a terrorist in his latest movie Bruno.
Abu Aita has engaged m'learned friends and someone has come up with the figure of $110m. Yes $110m.
Aita's lawyer in the US is Joseph Peter Drennan.
"This is an important lawsuit because it is about the dignity of a specific person. It is about his reputation, about his standing in the community," Drennan said.
But $110m? I daresay that would improve his standing in the community considerably. He'd certainly be my friend.

Nationalist Geographic

National Geographic have listed their top 10 archaeological finds of the year.
No1 is a ship that sank in 1901. The vessel carried gold rush prospectors and was found in a lake in the Yukon remarkably well preserved.
At No2 is the Staffordshire Hoard.
At the risk of sounding nationally biased myself I would humbly suggest they have these about face.
A 100-year-old paddle steamer or 5kg of gold that can tell us an awful lot about seventh century Britain?

Carlos Alberto's all wrong

There's something very weird about seeing this Carlos Alberto classic from the 'wrong' side. It doesn't seem quite as good.
