Bill Clinton Vs Tiger Woods How come Bill got a pass and Tiger has to Quit golf ..My plumber cheated on his wife multiple times and he never took time off..Racisim? If Tiger was married to a Black woman and cheated with black women it would only be a couple lines in a gossip column.

There's got to be sarcasm font in there somewhere. I'm just going to keep looking for it. . . .

Who gives a fuck whom Tiger was fucking? Some of you are worse than women. Go watch the fuckin' E channel and leave BP alone.

You do realize that it's Tiger's choice to take some time off, right?

And I don't think a President getting impeached is actually getting a pass.

Cheating on his personal life is one thing. Its wrong, but he's not my congressman, so its not really my business.

Cheating on the sport is an entirely different story. If it turns out that Tiger used PEDs, then I wash my hands of him and everything he has accomplished is tainted.

I was about to make a post about how some people who don't care at all about the infidelity scandal will be up in arms over the notion of him using PEDs. Looks like you made it for me.

I'll say the same thing I've said about baseball. No PED in the world is going to help you hit a major league curveball, and no PED in the world is going to help you control the ball in the way it is necessary to shoot 67 at Bethpage.

To me, it's all cut from the same cloth: integrity. One either has it, or not. By that definition, marital infidelity and looking for a short cut to athletic excellence are the same. Cheating.

The time period during which Tiger apparently had contact with this Canadian doc was when he was recovering from his knee surgery. Would all of you who regard HGH use as "cheating" feel differently if Tiger were shown to have used HGH, but primarily as a way to speed his recovery?

I'm not sure the ethics of this are entirely black-and-white. (And I'm not sure they're not.)

What about having lasik eye surgery x2 ?

Then why does anyone use them? Even if it's a mental edge, confidence and such or whatnot, so forth and so on. Feel me knockin'? Let me in. Are you picking up what I'm putting down, so to speak.

I'm sure most of us agree that cheating in any regard, be it in marriage or in sports, is disgraceful. But it's pretty easy for me to understand why people would be much more outraged at someone cheating in sports compared to cheating in marriage.

We aren't emotionally invested in athletes' marriages. I couldn't give a shit less what Tiger Woods or Barry Bonds do in their own homes. But I do care about the sports they play, the records they break, etc. Not because I root for them personally, but because I respect the history of the sports they play. I don't want Jack's record of major victories broken by a cheater, just like I didn't want to see Hank Aaron's record broken.

I'll say the same thing I've said about baseball. No PED in the world is going to help you hit a major league curveball, and no PED in the world is going to help you control the ball in the way it is necessary to shoot 67 at Bethpage.

It won't help you hit a curveball in what way? Sure, it won't help your eyes see it, but it will turn what should be a pop fly into an opposite field bomb 40 feet over the wall. In golf, if PED's translate into greater strength, which results in further distances off the tee, wouldn't you say hitting your approach from 150 out with a 9 iron is a hell of a lot easier than from 200+ with a 4 iron?

No but if you already have the god given talent to hit one it will help you hit them farther and recuperate between games better so you can hit them more often.

We didn't see the offensive explosion during the steroid era of baseball because they don't work.

Actually Google Voice might work if you could create a separate contact list inside the Google App. That way you would have a separate number other than your normal cell. Sounds like someone needs to hijack the Google Voice App. Note to women if you see this icon on your husband/boyfriends phone run:

Google Voice all the way. You can screen their calls, block their number etc. From their end it will always ring to a voicemail that is entirely hosted online. It is money.

Sure marital fidelity is a trait we should rightfully value. But - say - you're in the major leagues in October with a .400 season batting average ...well... I'm gonna be impressed with the hits stat even if I learn that you like to screw chickens while wearing a Notre Dame jersey and reciting the Black Mass. If hitting Annies was grounds for exclusion from the Hall of Fame there would be a Hell of a lot less inductees. You can separate the one from the other.

Just sayin'...
