SMH: In May last year, after the Matthew Johns sex scandal involving the Cronulla Sharks in New Zealand, 2GB's leading morals crusader, Chris Smith, thundered into the microphone: "If you carry on like a lunatic, full of grog, and have disrespect for women, you should be fired." So far, Smith has only been suspended for his own behaviour full of grog and disrespect for women at his office Christmas party last month; 2GB management is yet to announce whether he is to stay or go.
In his nine years as afternoon presenter on the top-rating station, Smith has never held back from casting judgment on others. He is from the John Brennan school that believes there is no room for equivocation if you want to succeed in commercial talk radio. Strong opinion and moral outrage win the ratings. In the world espoused by Chris Smith, the internationally acclaimed Bill Henson photographs were disgusting and pornographic. Tiger Woods's marital infidelities were disgraceful.

Tiger Woods definitely did talk a good game in the press meeting regarding being a lot more respectful to golf, but his actions spoke considerably louder than his words when he missed the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woods could have created so much good will through playing this particular tournament. Arnie would likely have succesfully done anything which he could have to help show Tiger in the best light, however rather Tiger makes a decision to dismiss the legends from the game and do his own personal thing. All the best with the Masters, Mr Woods. Great job towards Ernie Els, plus I hope you will do very well at Augusta.
