Can you make the connection?
I solved 3 rows of Connections pretty quickly this morning, including the dreaded "purple" row, which I usually find the most difficult.
I was left with the four words in the blue row. You can enter them and solve the puzzle by default, but I like to figure it out on my own.
Can you see the common bond among these four words?
corps
psycho
receipt
coup

Tiger Woods in trouble again: Arrested at crash scene on suspicion of DUI, sheriff says
This guy is really having trouble controlling his demons.
Tiger Woods showed signs of impairment and was arrested Friday at the scene of a car crash in which he struck another vehicle and rolled his Land Rover, authorities said.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was not injured. He was able to crawl out of the passenger side of his vehicle. He was believed to be impaired by medication, and was arrested on suspicion of DUI, Budensiek said.
The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island. Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-land road. The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck, but clipped the back end of the truck's trailer. Woods' car then rolled onto its driver's side.
Budensiek said investigators at the scene found Woods to be showing signs of impairment. He did a breathalyzer test, which came out negative, but he refused to take a urine test. Authorities charged him with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, Budensiek said. Both charges are misdemeanors.

The Phillies' Alec Bohm sues his parents, alleging they mismanaged his finances
Yikes! I'm going to guess no opening day tickets for Mom and Dad.
Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has sued his parents, alleging the pair defrauded him of millions of dollars under the guise of managing his financial affairs.
Bohm says in the suit that his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, used several limited liability companies to funnel money from his personal financial accounts, which they then converted to their own use. Filed Wednesday in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, the lawsuit seeks a judgment of at least $3 million, as well as an accounting of the funds in question, among other relief.
Bohms parents, through their attorney, denied wrongdoing.
In the suit, Bohm, 29, says that the situation dates back to 2019, when his parents set up two LLCs to hold the money and assets he earned as a professional baseball player. The Nebraska-born Bohm initially signed with the Phillies in 2018, and has a $10.2 million contract via arbitration with the team this year.

When Mango Mussolini wants to find a way out of war...
From Andy Borowitz:
So despite what Trump has been saying, Iran has not been talking to him about ending the war. You have to feel sorry for him. Usually when he wants to get out of a war he just visits a podiatrist.
