    How do you handle cheating with 11 or more different women?

    There is no PR spin that can make something like that not as bad as it is.

      I think that as long as MJ didn't try to bull**** us like Camp Tiger did, his reputation would be fine. People love Barkley for that very reason. But honestly, even if one of Michael's "indiscretions" were brought to light, all he'd have to do is pull a Kobe. Shut up about it, and WIN. That's all any sports fan really cares about. I think the worst thing about the way Tiger is handling this is that he's not competing. He should just be like "Yeah, I hit that. And that, and that chic too. Why? Cuz I'm the man. Let's play some golf, bitches!!"

      Very thought-provoking topic, btw

        Probably not the guy Tiger was hoping would support him at the moment. Ron Artest.

        I think I love Ron The dude is so far out there it's just not funny. Legend.


        My Letter to Tiger| Posted by Basketball_Ron in Posts

        Dear Tiger,
        In reading the statements you have made, I can tell you are a stand up guy. Please remember only Jesus is perfect. You made a mistake and you admitted your infidelity.
        I have made the same mistakes. Before I got married to my wife, I had a baby with another young lady, after I already had two by my girlfriend who is now my wife. We also had another baby which makes three for us and four for me. Two boys and two girls.
        My wife is a much better wife than I am a husband. We still argue and disagree after being together 16 years. and I still cope with the fact that there are so many women out there and I choose to stay loyal to my wife.
        I want to be home every night, but with traveling I can’t, and sometimes I might want to go to a bar or club and be one of the fellas. Most of the time I stay in, because I have my kids and wife.
        I cannot sit here and say the thought to have many women has never crossed my mind. If I were Jesus I could.
        I have known my wife for 16 years– since I was 14 years old.
        She was my first.
        On the way to 2010 we had many ups and downs on the way, mostly my fault. But I really choose to work hard and play ball to support her and my kids. The same reason you are building your legacy.
        I have been disturbed by this because there are many people who are happy that this bad news has come out.
        There are a lot of sports announcers and regular reporters who are not perfect in their own homes, yet they want to bring you down.
        You have done so much for people, the sport of golf, and your family and you gave your wife a life that people can’t even dream of.
        I thought you were 36 or 37 until I read the news today. A 33-year-old man who has been a model citizen with so much at stake. This is your first publicly known issue since you started your career, compared to my 50 or more publicly known issues and mistakes.
        You have been the perfect role model for me and my sons for longer than anyone I have known.
        With the exception of a few legends.
        As your fan, I can’t wait to see you golf again.
        And us athletes know how much you personally love your family.
        One love,
        Ron Artest
        This is just a fan mail letter to Tiger Woods fans and indirectly to Tiger himself.
        Please, everyone support Tiger in these tough times for his family.
        Also if you are a sports announcer or regular everyday reporter or blogger please step up like Tiger and tell your wife or husband if you have any skeletons in your closet. Especially if you were one of the few attacking TIGER!!
        One Love People

          Like I said before, you don't have to follow a sport to know who the headliner is. Tiger's one of those figures.

            Jordan would definitely be exposed a bit more than he was in the 80s and 90s. The real question is how would a BS person like Karl Malone be in this media era? He was portrayed as this family man with strong values.
