Wow, that mug shot!

Is that the Tiger Woods? What a mug shot, indeed.

the one way I feel sorry for him is that every person who interacts with him or even his ex wife… he has to be thinking if I was a guy working as an assistant manager at a chain drugstore would all these people be my friend or would she even talk to me let alone marry me? that probably is/was eating away at his mind for the last 20 years.

He seems to have gone downhill ever since his dad died. I always wondered how he would fare as he father controlled every aspect of his life. He looks high in his mugshot. I wouldn’t be shocked if he is addicted to pain pills from his numerous surgeries.

I’ll never understand rich people/athletes getting DUIs. When I’m filthy rich, I will never drive myself. I hate driving and would take having a driver (or Uber, or a taxi, or a limo) as an entitlement. Who was he with? How did they let him drive away?

I’ll also have maid service.

I was thinking benzo addiction or pain pills (of course nobody knows what is really going on - at the very least alcohol could be a problem). Changes people. :frowning:

Random comments - I can’t stand Smith, Tiger Woods’ excellence in golf has given me more delight than I’m owed from a stranger, and I want to see him win just one more time. Get it together, man, for your children! ^^Yes, I’d have “people” for everything. :slight_smile:

Sorry, I’ll take a golfer who stuck with his family & hasn’t been arrested. Give me Jack Nicklaus any day.

Personally I think Stephen A Smith is a troll but what I heard that he said about Tiger Woods seemed more respectful than usual for him.

I feel bad for Tiger Woods. It has to be hard, I think he’s a very smart, very complicated person who has some demons. If his past is any indication, he will try and get help. This may be his next bottom. I do think he wants to be a good father.

Honestly I don’t think we can truely know a public person and what they are in private. The golfer who seems perfect could be a cheater or a bully or gambler. I have no idea. Although I am sure Jack Nicklaus is a great family person, we truely don’t know who he is.

Some want the feel of control of driving their own vehicle.

A reason why there’s a market for cars like Lamborghinis in which the most stripped down version starts at a quarter of a million and it goes up from there.

I would have thought that if you were taking prescription drugs recovering from surgery, you might want to have a car with a driver.

Knowing dozens people that you might qualify as “filthy rich”, some of them buy cars as a hobby, and yes, drive them!

^^But obviously shouldn’t be if they think they might be drinking.

He should have used a driver

Those people like to drive the highways, on long drives. I don’t know anyone who lives to drive to the grocery store or home from a restaurant. I like the convenience of having my own car, but don’t really like to drive.

Sounds like he needs some at the house to keep him from leaving while on medication. I remember all the people sleep walking/driving on Ambien, including one of the Kennedys.

Agreed. Know several of them…including an older college classmate whose well-to-do parents got him a nice BMW for his HS graduation present.

Not everyone feels the same way about driving. Some folks live to drive every chance they get.

And while visiting a college classmate’s parents’ home in a well-off suburb of Philly, saw two instances of different 18 year olds driving around town/WCU campus in Lamborghinis.

Both looked like they were enjoying themselves despite the fact they were driving in such a manner that they may as well be driving a Yugo/Trabi.

all I need is a safe car in working order.that said I would gladly be driven everywhere, I do not need a limo…and if I had a driver I would sit in the front seat still. but if I had that kind of money the driver should probably be a driver/bodyguard.(just saying)
