Dear Tiger Woods,

Dear Tiger Woods,

I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the entire world.  I know you are going through quite possibly the toughest time in your life and career right now and most people are somehow glad.  As if it has ever been okay to kick someone while they are down and outwardly hope they don't get back up. 

Just as you have mentioned in your public apology, you were selfish, you did make some mistakes, and it is completely your fault.  I'm sorry that we treated you as if you were the only one that is selfish and makes mistakes.  Fortunately for most of us, our mistakes aren't the talk of every media outlet in the world.  I hope that you are learning from your mistakes and I hope that others can learn from them as well.

It seems as though it has become acceptable to laugh at people that are deeply struggling and be more excited when people fail than when they succeed.  Many people even viciously comment on how you are getting what you deserve.  Yet if people always got what they deserved, we would all live in a dark, ungracious, unforgiving hell. 

As you are seeking forgiveness, may you also find it in your heart to forgive those of us who have judged you and wished ill will upon you.  I seriously hope and pray that you are able to slowly gain your life and career back as I know you are broken. 


Grace &Peace,

Brett Bradley

Dear Lebron James,

Dear Lebron James,

I know your contract is up soon and you have a decision to make.  Allow me to give you some advice.  Stay in Cleveland.  Why?  Because the greatest players stay with one team.  Think about it Lebron, the majority of the greatest players in history have had all of their success with one franchise.  Jordan, Magic, Bird, Olajuwon, Worthy, Stockton, Malone, Drexler, David Robinson, Elgin Baylor, Abdul-Jabbar, Isaiah Thomas, etc....  Sure some of those players went to another team for a year or two at the end of their career but all of their success was with one team. 

I know we live in a different day and age but there is something special about creating success where you are rather than finding it somewhere else.  This goes beyond basketball and sports in general.  The greatest businessmen don't hop from company to company; they create a dynasty.    

Don't take the easy way out Mr. James.  Take a pay cut if you have to in order to get some help and make it up in endorsements.  It will be worth it in the long run.

What would you do?
