I tweeted this morning:

"I understand the reaction, football fans, but if you don't love him you don't know him.

Seconds later, Coy Wire retweeted this and added one word:

"Amen."

If you think he is classless, you don't know him.  Plus he is bright, generous, funny as hell.  You can make a long list without ever getting to "gifted, athletic, the best in the business." 

A comparison to Tiger, to whom I have had some but less exposure, simply isn't apt.  They have little in common inlcuding their alleged missteps.  Tiger's transgressions were carefully planned, repetitive,  dishonest, and a betrayal of promises and vows that he made.  Richard's were none of those: They were spontaneous.  And his interviews just minutes later were pure Sherm and pure cool.
