Drunken antics of John Daly

Last week, John Daly denied reports that he had drank himself into a catatonic state at a local Hooters in North Carolina, he used the excuse that "he sleeps with his eyes open" and said that a worried bus driver just overreacted. Daly spoke with Golf.com about the incident, but seemed a little more concerned about the negative publicity Hooters would receive than his own well-being. The reason, as Darren Rovell points out today, is that Daly does have a lucrative endorsement contract with the wing-and-knocker franchise. fRovell says about it: “On the surface, you'd think that Hooters has to drop Daly. All signs pointed to him getting "overserved" at one of their establishments. But it's not that easy. For one, Hooters knows exactly who John Daly is. He's the every man. That's why they signed him. He's a very risky proposition. That's why despite mistake after mistake they are still with him....”

After all if he’s going to have some drinks and wings, he’s doing it at the place that sponsors him, It would have been easy for him to do this exact same thing at another Wings dining.
