I didn't say "idolize," professor.

There was a time when men maintained some sense of ethics whenever taking on fame and the responsibilities that come with it.

Sports people these days should take a note from great men like Ted Williams. He was a great baseball player, and was also a Marine Corps pilot in WWII and Korea.

Ted Williams is what the athletes should be emulating.

Instead, many of today's athletes are not acting like role models. In fact, they set a really bad example, as is the case with Woods.

You mean they should put their heads in cold storage? Or they should be like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle?

If you look for role models who have no foibles you won't even find them in the Bible.
