John Daly

He has written a book, "My Life in and out of the Rough''. Apparently, it offers more detail on what we knew already: Daly is a gluttonous hedonist who has an impulse-control issue. He admits to losing $50-60 million gambling. As recently as last year, Daly dropped $1.65 mil in Las Vegas in five hours. When PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem offered a logical assessment -- namely that Daly consider counseling -- Big John allowed as how he "wasn't really into that.'' Imagine if MLB had asked Barry Bonds to get drug-tested and he'd said, "I'm not really into that.'' Come to think of it, what if any of us w/a problem that could be helped with treatment used that answer: "Doc, you just jabbed your Bic in that player's eye and smashed your laptop over that coach's head. Maybe you should see someone about your anger.''

"Nah, I'm not really into that.''

Daly will sell lots of books by telling everyone what a wreck he has made of his personal life. Maybe he'll donate the proceeds to the Betty Ford Clinic or Gambler's Anonymous. Maybe not.
