"The man has no character to defame"
Mike Bianchi in the Orlando Sentinel:
John Daly has just ruined any chance he has of winning an ongoing lawsuit against a writer in Jacksonville he accuses of defamation of character.
After reading Daly's latest autobiography, it's quite clear: The man has no character to defame.
The name of Daly's book is called ``My Life In & Out of the Rough.'' It should be called, "I'm a big, fat, gluttonous, gambling, boozing, grunting, snorting sexist pig."
If PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem has any backbone, he will exercise executive privilege and immediately suspend Daly from the PGA Tour for "conduct unbecoming of a professional golfer." Actually, Daly's conduct is unbecoming of a professional porn star.
Let's forget for a moment how the tour should feel about the gambling addiction Daly details in his book, let's talk about how his ex-wives and girlfriends should feel about Daly giving his juvenile critiques of their sexual prowess.
It gets uglier from there, but you get the point.
How much did Daly get for this book?

While Mike Bianchi is on his crusade to save the PGA Tour, it would help if he could take on Phil Michelson's gambling escapades and sexual conquests as well.
The reason Finchem has his head buried in a bunker Mike, is Tim has a past history of professional conduct unbecoming a professional as well. In Golfweek, Jeff Rude's recent article is well detailed with Commissioner Finchem's speeding ticket days. What's missing is the cocaine abuse that is on his record from those same days.
Mike Bianchi has not entered into the 21st Century, where it's all about reality. There is enough reality sound bytes here in Ponte Vedra to fill 10 seasons of episodes. This dog and pony show could be called "Survival of the Filthy". Daly may not be able to sue for defamation, and if Commissioner Finchem throws the first rock there would be plenty of glass houses come crashing down including his.
Geoff, why doesn't Bianchi go after something more attainable, say the USGA?
If the Tour is concerned with him playing barefoot on Mondays, then they are truely trying to turn golf into an elitist only affair.
Police spokesman Keith Bridges said Ogilvie was stopped for speeding early Wednesday morning, and the officer smelled alcohol. Ogilvie failed a field sobriety test and was taken into custody before posting bond.
A professional athelete out in the wee morning hours, blowing positive, hardly an excuse of having a few too many with dinner.
Joe is not fit to represent the membership of the PGA Tour at this time, he should resign his policy board position immediately to someone who can make sound decisions.
"Fore please, Joe Ogilvie now driving!" (gallery sprints away from teebox while playing partners, caddies and officials duck for cover)
There's no names but we'll recognize the Wachovia decal on the courtsey car. It's not every COPS episode where you might see someone you recognize.
Joe six pack, on Tour no less.
Oh yes, this does lend new meaning to Michelob Challenge.
