Jesus.. Tiger Woods D.U.I? Why....

did it take so damn long for the Media to get Beatherlyzer Test? Tiger blew 0.00

There is a huge difference between some blowing over 0.8 and someone who was messed up
on medications for severe cronic back pain.. Tiger has had 4 major operations on his back within 3 years.

He pulled over and fell asleep...and stated that it was because he mixed medications..

All day long we saw nothing but horrible images of Tiger all over the Net.

It doesn’t hurt that he dominated a White Sport for for 15 years (more or less).
Wealthy, Divorced and always around beautiful women...But heaven forbid, mention his huge programs helping
kids.

I agree with everything you said, and I do believe that the media ran with the story without all the necessary information. I'm also a fan of Tiger the golfer, and hope that he's able to turn it around. That said, even he's admitted that he screwed up royally.

6. Sorry, I didn't follow Tiger's story too closely, but this still is DUI

Assuming he is following doctor's orders about timing and dosage, it is still DUI.

I take meds at night and once I take them, I refuse to drive because I know I will be impaired. My meds impair me worse than alcohol.

8. Yep. Tiger made a huge mistake and admitted it.

My problem is the manner in which media spun this story, by not mentioning the fact that it was a self admited mistake.

until 24 hrs later.
