That’s just eerie…

That crazy John Daly is at it again, having fun and seeking revenge via Twitter.
From FOXSports.com:
John Daly was so irritated that a Florida newspaper wrote about his PGA Tour disciplinary file that he referred to the writer as a “jerk” on Twitter and posted the writer’s cell phone number for his followers to call.
The Florida Times-Union reported Tuesday that the file is now public record through Daly’s unsuccessful libel lawsuit against the newspaper. The file is 456 pages and notes that Daly has been suspended five times and cited 21 times for not giving his best effort.
“here’s the JERK who writes NON-NEWS article on debut of my show — CALL & FLOOD his line & let’s tell him how WE feel,” Daly said on Twitter, adding the cell phone number of golf writer Garry Smits.
Smits, the golf writer for the Times-Union, said he received about 30 calls after a series of three tweets late Tuesday night, and nearly 100 calls by early Wednesday afternoon. Smits said most of the callers hang up, and about 30 left messages.
“His fans are very unhappy,” Smits said.
If I were an exclusive golf writer, I would stay as far from John Daly as humanly possible. Either that, or I would quit my job so I could party with him at all times because you’re bound to see something interesting.

ESPN.com is reporting that Tiger Woods is back home after undergoing a week of family counseling in Arizona. Woods’ next mission is to get back into shape so that he can return to golf.
Woods returned to his home near Orlando on Saturday and has been hitting balls on the range at Isleworth, not far from where he ran his SUV into a tree in a middle-of-the-night accident on Nov. 27 that set off revelations of his extramarital affairs.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because only Woods is authorized to release information about his schedule, said there is still no timetable for golf’s No. 1 player to return to competition.
News of him getting back into a routine is sure to begin speculation when he might return to the PGA Tour. Woods announced on Dec. 4 that he was taking an “indefinite break” to try to salvage his marriage.
Does anyone else smell an April 8th return for Tiger? That’s the first day of the Masters and while I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of him playing in a smaller tournament or two before then, I’m willing to bet that Tiger would want to create some good publicity for himself on a big stage.
Of course, no matter what tournament he decides to play in, his return will be front-page news. But what better way for the PGA to draw viewers than to have Tiger make his return the week of the Masters? It’s all too perfect.

Gatorade has become the latest sponsor to drop golfer Tiger Woods. It’s the third major brand to drop its sponsorship with Woods since he became entrenched in a public sex scandal last Fall.
From CNN.com:
At first, Woods’ sponsors said they would stick by their star athlete. But in December, Accenture and AT&T (T, Fortune 500) announced they were dropping sponsorship. Woods had signed a multi-year agreement with the telecom giant in February 2009, but terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Procter & Gamble’s (PG, Fortune 500) Gillette said it would stop airing commercials that feature Woods for a while, though the company stopped short of saying it would end the relationship. Other major sponsors, including Nike (NKE, Fortune 500), have stuck by Woods.
NIKE is smart not to jump off the bandwagon because in a year, Tiger’s sex scandal is going to be Page 7A news. That’s just how it works in this country and if you don’t believe me, look at Kobe Bryant’s scandal in Colorado. People don’t forget – they just stop caring once another athlete screws up.
NIKE knows that it just has to ride out the storm and once it does, the company will probably be viewed as being loyal and trustworthy. It’s only a matter of time before Woods is back on the links winning majors and he will no doubt have that swoosh on his hat for everyone to see.

No one feels the sting of Tiger’s plight more than this guy:
“A full admission and submission.” That’s the phrase I use when spending $55 for a day at Magic Mountain.
