Great post. Actively working on being a hero to your kids is something that would keep us all on a much straighter track. I am always saddened that people can forget who they will hurt when they cheat. Thats one of the big ones in terms of mistakes. We all make small mistakes all the time - mistakes our kids will forgive us for. I know that infedility from a parent is a hard thing to forgive and something never forgotten.

Wow! That is VERY kind sentiments, indeed. It's very flattering that you think it would help Tiger if he could read it. Hope to see you back in the Steely Dad Nation soon!

Fabulous post! Very well reasoned and I wish there were a way to make sure Tiger could read it.

Probably the latter. I just don't think he really ever wanted to be a husband and/or father.

Well said, my friend. It will be interesting to see if he really changes or just tried to buy his way out of it all.

I wasn't saying YOU shouldn't be talking about it (it's your blog, talk about whatever), I'm just saying enough from the news, tabloids, glossy mags, etc. I can't believe how much press (not blog fodder) this non-story is getting.

Well said. Very well said in fact. I agree completely, especially with the comments about access and rights. Right on.

That man has a lot of work ahead of him if he want to repair his relationship with his family.

LOL! Like I said, this is the first celebrity gossip I've ever followed so allow me this one guilty indiscretion :) Seriously, I look at the cover of People Magazine in the grocery store and I haven't a clue who the hell those people are. No doubt all the other issues you bring up are vastly more important, however, that doesn't stop tabloids from reporting on who's screwing who. In fact, it's an effective distraction so we don't pay attention to the important stuff.

Yea, I agree with you. I wasn't trying to pass judgment on the man. G-d knows I've made my own mistakes. I guess when it comes down to it, I just try to avoid the really big ones, the ones that will break the trust my family has in me. It would be hard to recover from betrayal. I think Tiger should be with as many girls as he wishes; I just think if that was his goal, he shouldn't have married and most certainly he should not have had kids.

Well said. He does need to work on being a dad (and husband) right now. It's not like all the money he's already earned is going to go away. He's still going to be a gajillionair and he's always going to be Tiger Woods and technically he'll always be his kid's father, but he needs to work on being their Daddy. Also, can I say how very, very sick I am of hearing about this? OMG, it's not like he murdered women (as far as we know). He had affairs. Hardly news worthy. How about the troop surge? How about jobs? The news should focus on stuff like that, not TW's "transgressions."

All good points but I tell you what - the more blogs I read moralizing over Tiger and his misdeeds the more I feel like I am participating in a public stoning.

I know what I am capable of in my life as it is. I'm a reliable father and husband. I'd like to think I'd maintain that no matter what the circumstances but who the fuck really knows? I'm just glad I won't ever have to test myself in Tiger's shoes.

Appreciate it, man! I completely concur; this incident is not a stretch.

nice take. first one that bothered to mention the children.

he's always come across to me as a machine made to dominate the golf world. nothing more, nothing less. no emotion except for those that fall within the range of competitiveness. soul-less, if you will.

so honestly? a guy w/ no soul banging multiple chicks outside his marriage? not that big of a stretch for me.

as far as $ making it okay for the kids, you and i both know that's not the case.

great post, man.
