Transgressions

One measure of Tiger Woods' drawing power, if we needed any, is the fact that this afternoon the word currently topping the Google Trends most-searched list is "transgressions."

The word figures prominently in Woods' statement today apologizing publicly for his behavior following reports that he had been carrying out several affairs, including a relationship with Jaimee Grubbs, a 24-year-old Las Vega cocktail waitress.

Excerpt from his statement:

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.
