I personally don't think that he is that bad a person except when he's
drinking. The big problem I have with Daly is the image he portrays on
the tour. I think it has attracted too many people with WWF mentality
who think that the only thing in golf is knocking the crap out of the
ball. I've seen more boobs on the the courses than ever that don't
seem to know rule 1 or the first thing about etiquette. I don't think
that John has helped that at all. I think that he needs to grow up.
 You don't see Tiger Woods pulling the antics that Daly pulls and
he's a heck of a lot younger. 
Personally I think that, if Daly gets his personal life in order and
can get a little more consistency, he's got a darned good career on
the PGA tour. Unfortunately, I'm afraid he's going to do things to himself 
that too many other pro athletes have done. It's a real shame.
