Interesting, the original thing I had heard was he refused to take a breathalyzer, which would make no sense if he had a prescription med reaction.
He still will be liable if the prescription meds caused him to be in a state where he shouldn’t be driving, and given the warnings that painkillers and such have, he can’t claim he didn’t know (not that that would matter). if he took medicines that could cause him to zonk out and it caused him to be in a state where legally he shouldn’t be driving, he is responsible. I have nothing against Tiger Woods, in many ways I feel sorry for him, he was a tremendously gifted athlete who to me in many ways lost something along the way, like the music prodigies I have seen or the athletic kids who were pushed by parents, I think they paid a price for the way they were raised, that they missed out on things you learn growing up, and in the end it hurts them. I agree with others, I think likely in this case he might be a victim of the pain pills from all the surgery he has had, but the fact that he was driving like that knowing he was taking that kind of mix of pills was pretty irresponsible.
I hope he gets his stuff together, I hope he can find a counselor or therapist who can help him put his life back together, he is still a young man and deserves to have his own life, separated from the demons that often seem to have driven him.
As far as Stephen A Smith goes, at times he is amusing, when he is going after targets that deserve it like Jimmy Dolan and the mess he has made of the Knicks (he and Charles Barkley give them all the disrespect they deserve as an organization), but a lot of the time he is just like that Milo guy, out to make a buck out of being an obnoxious Equus africanus asinus.with nothing behind it.
