As a member of the Fox Sports Blogs community in 2006, I wrote a three-part series on Tiger Woods lauding both he and his lifestyle as paragons of virtue to the sports world. Obviously, my views were wrong. What’s worse, the series became a tremendous hit that, now, to my regret, concluded with slaps to the “then” questionable character of both Terrell Owens and Barry Bonds.
Today, in light of recent allegations of adultery against Woods, I feel I owe it to myself, as well as to the tens of thousands who have read the series, to offer a fourth installment. However, I will refrain from doing so until after all the facts regarding Tiger’s transgressions have come to light, either by the golfer himself and/or Elin Woods publicly addressing his ills.
In the interest of fairness and full disclosure, I must also reveal that I too am guilty of adultery three times in my life — twice with women who told me they were legally separated with the intent to divorce their husbands, when in fact they were not. Not that it reduces my sin but both women did go on to divorce their husbands. And once with my full knowledge of the adulterous act I was committing. However, all of my adulterous acts preceded my courtship, and marriage, to my one and only wife.
