There are a couple of things you can always count on these days: Michigan losing yards on 1st down, Stevie Brown watching a WR beat him for a TD on a 15 yard slant route, "The Vest" not turning the page on the play book in a big game, and Big John Daly Drunk at a Hooters restaurant.
This from the freep today:
While at the restaurant, police said Daly “appeared extremely intoxicated and uncooperative,” refused repeatedly to be taken to the hospital and was asked to leave the restaurant by several workers. Daly was taken to the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center for a 24-hour stay, until he was sober.
I had a chance to meet John and walk a charity round with him about 10 years ago. When he hits a golf ball it makes a "shotgun sound" at impact. Many of us wish we had 1/2 the talent John does.
But John has wasted his talent and has an unbelievable "additive" disorder, no matter if it's Gambling, Diet Cokes, Cigarettes, Beers, or Candy Bars. John just can't stop and he doesn't have anyone that stops him. He has lost just about everything (even his PGA card) and looks like he is on a destructive path that won't end well.
What's next for Big John? Who knows, but this won't be the last time we hear he has passed out in a Hooters. For the couple of hours I spent with John he was funny, nice, and really didn't care about golf. I hope John finds something to care about real soon.
Here is to John really understanding that this event has to be his wake up call. Because, I don't think he has many more wake up calls left in this lifetime.
