They are just no way close to either other and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breathe when you are thinking how he will be remembered.

Well he was saying Tiger's career COULD be overshadowed, not would be but other than that I mostly agree. My only sentiment was that saying the possible overshadowing of their careers could be similar is not even close to saying that the ACTUAL things they did are the same.
If we completely take away the Tyson reference I think the point can still be argued that Tiger is in at least some danger of overshadowing his career with his extra curricular activities.
Adding in the "just like what happened to Tyson" was just for reference.
In no way was it ever meant (I think) to suggest that their actions were equally deserving of attention or disgust.
