Celebrity Justice
Golfing Whale Fights Hippo in Court

The Britney Spears of the golf world -- the trainwreckeriffic John Daly -- seriously thinks that his name is still worth something.
John Daly
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.

16. Seriously, I have know people who absolutely love golf and I can see some of the attraction, but what kind of a sport can it be if you can smoke while doing it? Too funny.

18. Its easy to bash John Daly, but his attraction to the legions of fans who follow him around is that he is painfully human. He wears his heart on his sleeve (next to the pizza stain and spilt beer).

He has a tremendously powerful golf swing and an amazingly soft touch around the greens, which is an unique combination.
Is he a walking slo-motion trainwreck? Yup...no doubt about it.

But, before you bash the poor guy for fighting his inner demons in public, consider something else that you might NOT know about... John Daly gives more to charity than most other pros together. Go check out his website and see for yourself. When a guy has to put downloadable FORMS on the site, you KNOW he's popular and a real supporter of charities.

In the movie "Animal House", Dean Wormer told a student that "fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son".
He might have been talking about John Daly, but only if he also mentioned the size of the guy's heart.

Nuff said...lay off the poor guy.

20. He's a dumb hillbilly. He once bragged he had spent tens of millions of dollars gambling. One time he and some moron football player got hammered and trashed a house until the police came. He will come to a bad end, probably sooner than later.
