Probably the best take I've seen on it: Bill Simmons on the Tiger Woods speech - ESPN
A few tidbits:
"Everything about it seemed staged. Everything. When the main camera broke down at the nine-minute mark and Tiger had to be shown from the side, I half-expected to see that he was plugged in to the wall."
"Whatever. I was going to leave it alone. After all, that had to have been a humiliating experience for the guy. But listening to talking heads praise that ludicrous speech pushed me over the edge. Someone actually said, "It came from the heart." It did? Was it C3PO's heart? I thought it seemed like an automated response from Microsoft's new "Cheater's Confession" program."
"He spoke for the next 13 and a half minutes. He spoke … like this. There was … no emotion … in his words. His face … was blank … and empty. Part of me … felt bad … for him. There were … a couple of moments … when it seemed … like … he was trying … to shed a tear … or have his voice catch … just for effect. You get … the idea."
"He came off like Schwarzenegger in "Terminator 2.""
All good stuff.  Personally I could care less, the guy is a freaking GOLFER. Who he bangs, other than being amusing, has no effect on my life. But considering this joke of an apology, he would have been better off in hiding.
