    Look at the GC Tiger Tracker on Twitter. They're posting everything.

    Yeah, I never thought I'd have the capacity to pity the guy, but that's my primary sentiment here.

    There's no way he can blow through the money, so he won't end up on skid row, but it doesn't sound like Tiger Woods is going to be happy, maybe ever.

    Kind of reminds me of the stories we've seen over the years about NFL players. Start using painkillers to keep playing, then when they can't play any longer they're addicted to the drugs and spiral for years.

    Yet another reminder that there may not be anyone more annoying than Tiger Woods sycophant. A man who has shown nothing better than indifference to fans, media and his own wife and yet they can't help themselves.

    I'm going to hazard a guess here based on my own experiences. I guessed Ambien was involved when he got clubbed, because I know it can cause amnesia yet you can be fully functional for about an hour before you fall asleep.

    Now in this new case and with the back surgeries, etc., it could be oxy this or that, but doctors started giving me Tramadol last year because it is less addicting and has fewer side effects. And I had a rather fucked up experience with it last year.

    I'm still not sure what happened - whether I took a second dose too soon or what, but I got into an incapacitated state. Someone at the restaurant I was at sent me to a hotel, and I did wake up the next day with both kidneys and my other organs, but it put the scare of God and Death into me, and I still need to track down the lady who helped me that night because she probably saved my life.

    So, apropos of nothing, I wouldn't be surprised to hear "Tramadol" pop up as a possible factor. Not saying it definitely is of course, because I have no idea, and I'm not sure if they are doing a blood tox screen on him. But if "Tramadol" starts to become more of a household word from this, I wouldn't be surprised.

    Plus there's always "Mickey".

    Because people feel sorry for the guy?

    I feel sorry for any addict.

    Really solid reporting from a number of outlets (especially TMZ) leading up to this point. Hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube once it's out.

    You can do all that without sounding like the crying girl telling the media leave Brittany alone.
