Bro King John Daly Collapses On Golf Course, Rushed To Hospital

Bro King and American folklore hero John Daly collapsed on the 18th tee box on a golf course in Canton, Mississippi yesterday. He has since been diagnosed with a collapsed lung.

Per the Associated Press:

Deerfield club pro Leigh Brannan, who was at the tournament, said Daly was having trouble with the heat and had some difficulty breathing before being taken to the hospital. Temperatures were near 90 degrees in the Jackson area.

“He was struggling pretty badly right before he collapsed,” Brannan said. “But we’re all hoping it’s nothing serious and that he was just a little dehydrated. He was even telling (Allen) he still wants to play (Sunday).”

Daly’s manager reports that he has been released from the hospital.

“Daly has fought a lingering rib injury since 2007 which recently has been causing severe pain and has affected his breathing,” his manager Bud Martin with Wasserman Media Group said in a statement. “He has been discharged from the hospital.”

Solid news to hear of his release. I can only venture a guess as to how many cigarettes Daly took down on his hospital bed. If you’re guessing 600, I’ll take the over.

Try to give a fuck less than this dude. Impossible.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
