ESPN.com: Artest admits drinking, blasts ref

Ron Artest, the often-controversial Los Angeles Lakers’ forward, told a magazine interviewer he used to drink alcohol at halftime of NBA games.

“I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime,” Artest said in an interview with The Sporting News, which is publishing the story in its Dec. 7 issue. “I [kept it] in my locker. I’d just walk to the liquor store and get it.”

If you have made a transgression, today’s a good day to admit to it.

ESPN.com: Woods: ‘I have let my family down’

ESPN.com: Woods: ‘I have let my family down’

“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” Woods said on his Web site. “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Tiger Woods is an aspirational figure, living what appeared to be the dream life.  He’s the best at what he does, has a beautiful wife and two young children.  I think that too often we think that if we had all the money in the world, that our lives would be perfect.  But, that’s not always the case.
