| “Tiger’s always said he works as hard as he does because he doesn’t have Daly’s talent. That say enough for you?” |

| “As for Butch, he watches a guy shoot a 77 (probably) blind drunk, then ditches him? Most people couldn't shoot 110 on those courses sober, let alone pissed. If he was as good a coach as he thinks he is, he would have Daly practicing drunk to better prepare him for tournament play.” |

| “I hear John Daly has a gambling problem too, he estimates that he’s lost over $50 million gambling away his money. I think we all know how this story is going to end.” |

| “JD is a drinker? Fan me with a brick. The guys initials are JD for a reason and it’s not necessarily because of his name, okay?” |

| “I liked that he used the word shenanigans. In response to this Daly probably could be found in a nearby bar turning up a Bud Light.” |
- With the extensive list of negative occurrences in Daly’s career, fans believe this might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. They think Daly will become nothing more than a story about what happens when raw talent is combined with a terrible work ethic.

- The same reasons Harmon cited as why he left Daly are the reasons why fans love to watch the big hitter. These fans side with Daly because he is a “common” man that has issues.
