As has been made public by every media outlet known to man, Tiger Woods held a press conference at 11 a.m. today. He called a press conference to apologize for cheating on his wife and kids, disappointing his friends and falling from grace as a role model to children across the world.

ESPN was gearing up for this press conference the moment they found out about on Wednesday. Ever since Tiger delivered his press conference today ESPN has spent all but about an hour devoted to Tiger Woods. I haven’t seen coverage over an event like this since 9/11. SportsCenter has been bombarded by coverage of the press conference, rehashing the same angle over and over again. There are other things going on in the sporting world than this press conference today. The Winter Olympics are still going on, MLB spring training has begun and over 30 NBA players have switched teams thanks to the trading deadline. But the sporting world has been taken hostage by one man and his 15 minute press conference.
