| John Daly
|
And you thought golf was boring!
The never ending saga of the life and times of John Daly continued this week. The latest bewildering episode began last week when Daly arrived for a round of golf with several scratches to the side of his face. He claimed that those scratches game from his latest wife, wife number four. In response, the latest Mrs. Daly wanted to press rape charges against John on Monday. But it gets better, for it seems that Mr. And Mrs. Daly are going through a divorce. Oh yeah, even though they are divorcing, they are still living together.
John was quoted as saying that he married the wrong woman. I say: you married the right woman if you want to be a guest on the Jerry Springer Show. I have to admit, Daly does bring an edge to the world of golf. Golf may be more popular if the professionals in the sport had better personalities. Nonetheless, the Friday Fryer sends a special shout out and Chair nomination to John Daly. Keep hitting those balls hard and try to stay out of the Mrs.’ rough!

| Jason Giambi
|
| Man, it is getting to the point where I feel sorry for this guy. Sure, he has disgraced baseball by pretty much admitting to the fact that he took steroids during his career. He is, however, not the only one. Another steroid user is likely to break the all-time career home run record.
Nevertheless, it seems that Bud Selig has decided to make a poster boy out of Giambi. It is being reported that Selig has told Giambi to either speak with George Mitchell in regards to his past steroid use or be suspended. This leaves Giambi in a no win situation. Doe he go and speak Mitchell, and by doing so, likely spill the beans on many other ball players who juiced. Or does he respect the code and keep his mouth shut, thus leading to a suspension. Now, when the New York Yankees were struggling earlier, this suspension may not have looked bad. Heck, it may have even looked good. But the Yanks are winning again.
It is true that Giambi and his generation of baseball players forever tarnished the sport by using steroids. For that alone, Giambi may deserve a permanent Friday Fryer Chair, but for this week, he gets the nomination for winding up in a winless situation.

| Daunte Culpepper
|
| The former Captain of the Minnesota Vikings’ loveboat is really having a rough offseason. Last week, his current team, the Miami Dolphins made a move for Trent Green. This move essentially ends Culpepper days in Miami. Yet, Daunte is not going quietly.
For starters, Daunte has already stated that he wants to be released and not traded by the Dolphins. Yo Daunte, bro, you have a contract with the Dolphins. The contract does not contain a no trade clause. Maybe you should have bargained for one, now is not the time to demand one. This week, Daunte was in a car wreck. He injured his non-throwing left hand. No bones were fractured, but you can surely bet that his value, either in a trade or in a new contract upon being released, has gone down because of the accident.
Daunte was once such a promising star in the NFL. Now, he is yesterday’s news, soon to be replaced by Michael Vick. But at least Daunte gets what may be his final Friday Fryer nomination of his career. Way to go, bro!
