Lakers star Ron Artest has posted an open letter to Tiger Woods on his blog. The main messages? So many women ... so little time but one wife too many; dude, I wanna go out, too, but I got kids; and only Jesus doesn't think of women every five seconds.
Here's an excerpt:
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. ...This is your first publicly known issue since you started your career, compared to my 50 or more publicly known issues and mistakes. ...
Um, make that 51.
"I can tell you are a stand up guy."
I heard (doesn't mean it's true, granted) he was nailing someone in his Escalade in a Church parking lot right next to a park. Yeah. Real stand up guy.
Do you think he moved the kids' car seats? Or just maneuvered around them?
You know, and I'm serious, cheating happens. But what he's done is down-right whoring. Gross.
