   He chose the photo with the cigarette because the only other photos of John he could find, he had a chocolate muffin in his mouth.

   On the other hand, if you’re looking for quality journalism and you’re on the internet, you’re on a fool’s errand.

   I think it is a bit wrong to use a picture of him smoking with the caption that he collapsed. My first thoughts were a heart attack or something related to smoking…

   I would have thought it would have had something to do with his weight, drugs, or alcohol even if there wasn’t a picture post.

   Get your head out of the sand people. John is John – it’s very rare that people truly change.

   John is overweight and a chain smoker. 90 degree Mississippi heat will take its toll on you. Give Ben a break.

       Usually that type of lifestyle will lead to various types of health issues.

       Try taking an objective look at the situation. Overweight man who chains smokes collapses in hot and humid Mississippi weather. If were anyone other than John Daly you would probably say “figures.”

       A rib injury doesn’t cause difficulty breathing. I’ve strained the rib muscle and have had bruised ribs. No difficulty breathing at all. It’s some B-S that he or his PR person made up. Likely cause is because he’s overweight and smokes.

   Exactly. Daly’s life choices are certainly the culprit. You didn’t see anyone else in the field struggling with their breathing before collapsing.

   Bubba – This picture seems to really bother you. With that said, I have to ask – is it inaccurate? And do you really think John Daly’s behavior/life choices have no impact whatsoever on his current health?

   None of this means he doesn’t have a lot of redeeming qualities and isn’t likable for a lot of good reasons. But it very well might mean his current physical condition is a function of a lot of things – and like the rest of us, he’s very human. Smokers are quite a bit more likely to suffer this type of event and it’s quite plausible he has damaged lung tissue which is more susceptible to collapse than healthy tissue. Given this, the image seems quite appropriate.

     yep, well said. And if you have a collapsed lung, you most likely won’t play golf the next day, if he did?

    Isn’t that Jon Daly in the photo? Where is the prejudice? Isn’t he a fat smoker?
