John Daly and his Addiction

Chris Baldwin writes...

John Daly is becoming less and less the lovable character and more the screwed up moron every day. The latest is Daly writing in his new book that he lost between $50 and $60 million gambling in the last 12 years, according to the Associated Press.

Fifty or sixty ... who hasn't lost track of $10 million here or there.

Daly's already wasted more talent than any athlete since Mickey Mantle and made the worst reality TV show since Anna Nicole Smith (no small double). But at least he has an excuse for blowing that three-foot playoff putt against Tiger Woods at Harding Park last October now.

It turns out Daly may have just wanted to get on the road. He writes that he went straight from Harding to Las Vegas and lost $600,000 within his first half hour on The Strip. By two hours, the total was up to $1.2 million.
