Why, John Daly, why?

[jldavis73]

I can NOT stand to watch John Daly piss his talent away any longer. I have been a fan of his since the glory days of Crooked Stick and St. Andrews, and now I hope he never gets invited to another professional event. The guy sucks us in with the "aww, shucks" and his "frailties", but I have come to realize he is:
1. supremely talented,
2. as lazy as you can be and still breathe, and
3. a crybaby who walks it in when things don't go his way. This guy can not get it together even though he's working with some of the best people in the business. The sponsors that continue to give him invitations to play in professional golf events should get wise and give the spot to someone who actually cares. Sorry, I'm tired of his act. Nice four-putt on 18!

First off, I know that there is already a thread about this out there but after watching JD's EXTREMELY poor effort at the PGA, I feel that it warrants another thread.

A couple weeks back Iacas started a thread about his disgust with JD and I felt that it was a bit much. Well it turns out that I was wrong and Iacas was completely correct. Up until now I would have defended him no matter what, but after seeing his gruesome display of carelessness I believe that he is a lost cause. At this point the golf course is the last place that he needs to be. (Especially the PGA Championship).

Sorry for the rant.

I have to agree. Just saw were he withdrew from the PGA championship.

Two threads hammering on JD. Things aren't good. He's like a runaway train....all out of control!

[J-Rob]

Yeah, I hope that he really evaluates himself, his game, and his lifestyle before he comes back.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks this way about him.

[Cussin hacker]

I'd say he's loosing fans as fast as he's loosing wieght!

I still like Daly. I find him humerous and I think others find humor in the way he acts towards things...I still enjoy watching him play.

I wish he'd reconsider his wardrobe, though.

Used to like how stupid he is. Now it's getting old, fast. I don't like him.

I know this is probably going to get merged because there's two other threads, but I have to say this - John Daly is a piece of sh*t for quitting after his round today - if he didn't think he could compete, he shouldn't have even showed up. I'm sure Michael Letzig (first alternate) would have played a lot better and not walked out like a pu$$y.

He pulls out after tweaking his back? Man, F that. If you're hurt, don't play, and give one of the alternates a shot. If you can't handle a little pain, be a man about it and don't enter the tournament.

[MI Rob]

Pretty much agreed.

If your clothes came with a free bowl of soup, would you reconsider?

[bogeyhitter25]

I agree completely. I hate him. Letzig's having a hell of a year, I think he's only missed one cut.

[J-Rob]

Yeah I feel pretty much the same way. Everyone knows it wasn't because of his back, its because he gave up on himself. Its obvious that he's in no condition to play golf. He only gets 600 calories a day supposedly, but that is no excuse to go out there and play like that. If you have health problems that will effect your play then you need to STAY home.

An especially good point given that Daly's own big break came as an alternate to the PGA........

[bogeyhitter25]

I've said it on the other 2 threads, and it deserves to be said again.

I hate John Daly.

Dude if you saw him play today then there would be no way that you could say that you enjoy watching him play. Saying you liked watching him play today would be like saying you like watching vicious car wrecks. (But maybe you're into that kinda thing) lol jk

No, I didn't see him play today. I taped today's coverage as I was out practicing myself, lol.

But when he's playing good (and there were some tourney's over in Europe he played pretty decent in) I still enjoy watching the guy play golf. He gets over dramatic sometimes and annoying, but at least he has some personality, can be humerous, and sticks to his character and is himself. I can respect him for that.
