That staggering walk to the car in cuffs video is going to be abound for a long time. It will go on the shelf along with Hasselhoff eating a burger on the floor.

I actually think the video makes it harder to pile on. It is one thing to mock him for getting busted or making the excuse that it was just prescription drugs and not alcohol. It is another to see him completely out of it looking like your drug addled cousin.

It isn't near as much fun to punch down at someone with problems.

Not necessarily. There is a defense called "unintentional intoxication" or something similar, according to the jurisdiction. If the toxicology reports show all he had was the Rx drugs in his system at the correct levels and if he can show he had no reason to believe they would affect him the way they did, it is a defense.

For example - assume he took Vicodin and that he has been prescribed the same dose in the past and has never had any issues with it. However, this time, he was also prescribed Torix, which, on its own, should not cause these issues and assume he was not warned about mixing Vicodin and Torix and assume it was that mixture, for the first time, that caused this, he could have a defense.

I know that is a lot of assumptions, but it would not be impossible to prove.

But you're not supposed to drive on Vicodin IIRC. Wouldn't it have to be two innocuous drugs with a bad combination or something like my trainer gave me a vitamin shot he told me it was just a vitamin shot i believed it to be a citamin shot when in fact it was a horse tranquilizer?

No, you are right - Vicodin contains a warning, which would hurt Tiger's argument. But, assume it wasn't something with a warning. Or, even if it did have a warning, if he has taken it multiple times in the past w/o significant side-effects, he could still use that argument.

I'm not saying it is a flawless argument, but it is a legit argument he could make.

I thought I recall reading somewhere that part of the test was saying the pledge of allegiance backwards. Is that for real? I couldn't pull that off sober.

I saw the video today. The cop told him to say the English alphabet, start to finish, slowly and without rhyming it. In other words, don't sing it.

Correct. And when asked to repeat the instruction, TW said "don't sing the national anthem backwards."

To be fair, he was right that he was not supposed to do that.

He actually didn't when his back was healthy. Even with a bum knee he could squat close to twice his body weight.

If you think that was funny -- listen to the audio of his breathalyzer. I heard it on the radio. He says he can't get the bracelets off his wrists. (handcuffs) He was out of it.

Hey, how about that. On top of a cocktail of pain killers, he had THC in his system...



Palm Beach County, Fla. has released the toxicology report related to Tiger Woods’ Memorial Day arrest. The report found Woods had in his system pain medications hydrocodone and hydromorphone; alprazolam, an anxiety medication; zolpidem, an insomnia medication; and THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

Early on the morning of Memorial Day, Jupiter (Fla.) police found Woods asleep in his car by the side of the road; there was no property damage, and Woods did not test positive for any alcohol. He later said in a statement that he was suffering from the effects of mixing several prescription drugs. Woods told police at the time of the arrest that he had taken Vicodin and had a prescription for Xanax, and his speech was slurred. Woods later said in a statement that he was undergoing rehab to treat his prescription drug concerns.

Would "Canadian am I, fuck you" officer be sufficient?

Nice to see Tiger 'hitting the green' again.
