![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The Britney Spears of the golf world -- the trainwreckeriffic John Daly -- seriously thinks that his name is still worth something.
He's filed suit against Hippo Golf, whom he alleges used his logo and name to hawk a line of golf clubs after their deal with Daly had ended. Given how far he's crashed on tour -- and crazazy antics like walking off the course in the middle of a round and tussling with his wife in public -- it's a wonder anyone wants to be associated with J.D.
Hippo's lawyers had no comment; we're told that Daly's also embroiled in legal action with other golf companies. No wonder he can't hit the ball straight.

He's an excellent golfer. He isn't PC in the golf world but people respect him for his struggles and the strengths he does have. At the very least he's entertaining and human.

JD is my favorite golfer! He's human and has his frailties like all of us. He's entertaining, sincere and genuinely a nice guy. I've met him during tournaments at meet and greets.

Common sense says his name is obviously still worth something or Hippo wouldn't have used his name.

John Daly is a phenomenol golf talent, and when sober an ecredibly charming and engaging personality as well as spokesman for the PGA and any sponsor. Unfortunately, John, like many millions around the world, suffers from untreated alcoholism, and in his case, he refuses not only to accept treatment but to merely accept the fact that he has a problem. Much like diabetes, hear disease, or anyother lifestyle medical condition, alcohilsim is not curable, but it is treatable, and the patient can go on to live a lenghty and vibrant life. When John Daly is sober and playing golf, no one in the game can hit farther with more accuracy and consistency, and even with his medicore green game, his solitary major victory at the British Open would not be his only for long - all he needs is the proper intervention, support, and self-motivation to get and stay sober.
The PGA and his real friends and great peers continued to be supportive, and with God's grace John will find the path to sobriety and treatment soon, regardless, he is a brilliant talent, and a good person, and his professional name and image, regardless of the unofortunate history associated with his medical disability, are not a licence for companies to steal his property for their own finncial or professional gain without properly compensating John Daly.
Go get 'em John we are with you, God Bless.

i saw john saturday night at his bar-- here in ar. he did look a little haggard but also looked like he had lost quite a bit of weight.
i didn't pay attention to whether he was drinking (i was-- maybe that's why)-- my guess is yes but he definitely wasn't acting nuts or in any way over the top.

Justin, what exactly was the reasoning behind your post? Other than to attempt to smear, John Daly with alcoholism, a medical disability, like diabetes, or heart disease which afflicts millions in America each year. With God's grace John will get treatment, and whether or not he plays golf is irrelevant, he is a multi-millionaire, and he will be fine financially, the point is that he needs to be sober to have a long and healthy life.
And as for your post, the information you provided is not only available on the internet, but it was fully provided in several indepth pieces on the Golf Channel, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Golf Digest, and a long list of other media providers and ofcourse the transcripts of John's horrendous divorce proceedings throughout which his medical condition manifested itself in the worst possible manner.
The character of an individual, Justin, is not measured by solely providing accolades for those who have great accomplishments but more so by providing simple Christian charity, support, and compasssion to those who need it most - but perhaps you are one of those individuals who an appeal of such Christian or ethical principles are completely lost - more is the pity, hrmm.
