John Daly: Just Like You And Me

So as it turns out, John Daly is my new favorite golfer. I haven't had very many "favorite" golfers over the years, I liked Fuzzy Zoeller back in the 90's because he had an aggressive moustasche I was fond of. I also, like the rest of the world, carried a flag for Tiger Woods for a while, not because he is/was the best in the world, but his videogame kept me entertained throughout the summer of '04. I would sit for hours while Capt. ASS, the golfer I created, racked up more PGA tour wins than Nick Nolte has DUIs.


But with the recent news of Daly's preparation for the recent PGA tournament, he has taken over sole position as my favorite golfer.


According to the NY Times:


"He prepared for the 89th P.G.A. Championship at Southern Hills by skipping the practice rounds in favor of casino binges. While others hydrated with cold water and colorful sports drinks during Thursday’s steamy first round, Daly downed diet soda and took pulls from a cigarette."

Awesome.



I knew Daly was special when I saw him try to drive a golfball over Niagara Falls a few years back. I can see how that was set up now. A drunk Daly tells his buddies he can drive a ball over Niagara Falls....


Daly: Man, jew check em tits out on our waitress? hoooo-dooog!
(oh yeah. by the way, they're at Hooters)
JD cronie1: John, you could hit that shit. No doubt in my mind! HHOOOWWWLLL!
JD cronie2: JD you got anymore smokes?
Daly: Yeah, but only like 6, and I need em fer later.
JD cronie1: Holy Shit! Did you just see that?
Daly: What? Did some chick's tit pop out? Dammit, I always miss it!
JD cronie1: No John, I just saw Michael Vick on tv throw a football out of the stadium!
JD cronie2: Yeah I saw it on this tv, that was fuckin nuts!
Daly: Oh yeah? Well... I could hit a golfball over Niagara Falls.
Shadowy Figure: Care to put your money where your mouth is?
Daly: Go away, Berman. We're just talking.
Shadowy Figure: Fine, but ESPN will give you $50,000 just to attempt, and a job as a golf analyst if you can do it.
Daly: Careful Berman, I might miss on purpose.
Both: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Daly: Yeah, we should head for the strip-club, it's 9:00, they're going to start worrying about me.
