John Daly is not your typical golfer: he averages 300+ yard drives, he's got an enviable beer belly, and he performs live and records studio albums with country western greats such as Willie Nelson and Johnny Lee. Daly is also known for his hard-partying, binge-drinking lifestyle, and his routine fights with his ex-wives, flight attendants and Hooters restaurant patrons. Basically, we're saying that he reminds us a lot of ourselves (especially that last bit) The following are a few motivational posters from what we presume Daly's alternative point-of-view to consist of. Maybe it will help shed light on what it takes to be one of the greatest personalities in golf - nay, in sports - history:

Everyone knows the feeling of seeing a movie sequel and seeing a different actor portraying a familiar character. This is often a bad thing as sequels are typically mediocre movies. But occasionally there are lateral moves, trade-offs, and true upgrades in terms of the recast characters. There were a few exclusions from the list: No recasts of characters playing significantly different ages (i.e. Haden "Pussyfeathers" Christiansen in Star Wars), no series re-boots (Sorry Christian Bale fanatics), and no movies that I felt like leaving off this list which includes James Bond.
Brian Cox is a terrific actor that did a very good job in the role of Hannibal Lecktor in 1984's Manhunter. It is better than its remake, Red Dragon, but the character of Dr. Lecktor has been made into an icon by Anthony Hopkins. The creepiness that he brought to the role in SOTL earned him an Academy Award, and lives on as the more memorable roles in cinema. The series also made another cast change from Jody Foster to Julianne Moore in the role of Clarice. This is a hard re-cast to judge because Hannibal was just a horrible movie (I think it might have really suffered due to the absence of a Miggs jiz-tossing scene). It might have been a lateral move since Moore is a capable actress but Foster will always exist as Clarice in the minds of the film's millions of fans.

When Clay Aiken first tried out for American Idol he was nearly laughed off the stage before he had sang one note. It’s too bad the Judges stopped laughing. Since then, the American public has been subjected to three albums, a Christmas special, and countless guest appearances on television.That godawful show owes the public an apology.
