John Daly is one of the most colorful, controversial and popular figures in golf history.?Dalys grip it and rip it life is the subject of a new 30 for 30 documentary, Hit it Hard, which is set to debut Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.Its hard not to wonder what Daly could have accomplished on the course if he hadnt had so many problems off it. In this weeks edition of Four-Ball, our panel explores Dalys impact on the sport.1. Do you consider Daly an overachiever or underachiever?SportsCenter anchor Jonathan Coachman: Unfortunately, I have to say underachiever. Daly possibly has the most natural talent of any player in the history of the sport; there is no way he could have ever won those huge tournaments without that immense talent. But its frustrating to see someone not maximize his talent over the past 20 years. If he would have taken things more seriously, who knows how many majors or tournaments he could have won.?ESPN.com senior golf writer Bob Harig: He is a huge underachiever. Get past all the drama, and Daly was an incredibly skilled player who could not only drive it a long way, but had a surprisingly good short game. Winning two majors as he did showed his talent, but its remarkable to think that Daly has nearly as many missed cuts and withdrawals (249) in his PGA Tour career as he has made cuts (273). Maybe Daly never would have been a prolific winner, but he had the skills to accomplish more.ESPN.com senior golf editor Kevin Maguire: An overachiever. Considering the inner demons Daly had to overcome in his life, albeit many of them self-inflicted, most people would not have had the wherewithal to reach such a high level in sports -- or in life. Winning one major championship can sometimes be a fluke. Winning two solidifies your place in golf history.ESPN.com senior golf writer Jason Sobel:?Sorry, but underachievers dont win multiple major championships. I understand the insinuation -- Daly had so much talent that if he played as hard on the course as he did off of it, he couldve achieved so much more. Perhaps, but that notion does a disservice to everything he did accomplish. In his prime, Daly was never the games most consistent player, but you can bet plenty of his peers would love to own his resume. Its not one of an underachiever.2. Which major win was more surprising, the 1991 PGA Championship or 1995 Open Championship?Coachman: No one knew who Daly was in 1991 -- he came out of nowhere as an alternate to pull off possibly the biggest upset in the history of golf. We knew Daly when he won his second major, which was a surprise, but not a monumental surprise.?I dont know if we will ever see something like 1991 again. Just awesome.Harig: The 91 PGA was more surprising, simply given the circumstances behind getting into the field. Few knew who John Daly was when he had to drive overnight to Crooked Stick as an alternate and only got into the field because numerous things occurred -- including Nick Price withdrawing due to the birth of a child. To then go on and win a major championship, without a practice round, is about as farfetched as possible, and yet Daly did it.Maguire: The 91 PGA, but only by the slimmest of margins. Dalys 1995 win at St. Andrews certainly came out of nowhere, but he had at least proved that when his game was on, he could beat the best in the world. Absolutely no one saw that victory as the ninth alternate at Crooked Stick in 1991 coming, and if someone says otherwise, its pure fiction.Sobel:?Easily the first one. As a PGA Tour rookie, Daly was the tournaments ninth alternate, somehow got into the field and won it as a total unknown. If you wrote a movie script like this, it would be dismissed as too unbelievable.3. What do you remember most about John Dalys career so far?Coachman: When I think about Daly, his golf doesnt even come into my mind. Its his partying, his hustle and continuing to bounce back. I think he is an all-time good dude with a good heart, and its nice to see he has pulled it together for the Champions Tour. Hopefully, his golf can take center stage this time.?Harig: It is unfortunate that there was so much off-course drama involving ex-wives, drinking, rehab and weight gain/loss, not to mention his high-profile withdrawals and high scores in various tournaments. But what is most memorable is the way he attracted people to the game with the way he hit the ball off the tee. His length was prodigious, and he routinely hit drives more than 300 yards when that was quite uncommon.Maguire: The way fans loved him (and still do). He would draw some of the largest galleries at a tournament even when people had no idea what would happen inside the ropes. Often that was the appeal. Hardcore and non-hardcore golf fans alike were drawn to the mystery surrounding Daly. Sure, the everyman aspect of his story made things interesting, but no one crushed the ball the way Daly did back in the early 1990s.Sobel: I think Ill always most remember the swing itself. Way past parallel, then smoothly through the ball, compressing it into orbit. No golfer has ever combined Dalys strength, power and flexibility. Yes, the man was -- and still is -- flexible and has always owned a deft touch around the greens. Sure, others might first recall the rags-to-riches (and back and forth) tale or the hard-living lifestyle, but its that swing which will forever be ingrained in my memory.4. Fact or Fiction: John Daly will win on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.Coachman: Fiction. Daly can finish top 10, but Im skeptical on whether or not he can put three or four rounds together in the same week. It has been so long since hes been in the winners circle, and when it has been this long, its too high of a mountain to climb.?Harig: Fact. The results so far do not back it up, as he has yet to post a single top-10 finish in 14 starts. But Daly has battled injuries and lack of play on the PGA Tour. Hes going to need some time, but it will happen.Maguire: Fiction. Not being able to get consistent tournament starts for the past several years didnt help his transition to the over-50 circuit this year. Hopefully Im wrong on this, but I just cant see him cashing that winners check again.Sobel:?Fact. Here is a partial list of winners on the senior tour this year: Doug Garwood, Carlos Franco, Gene Sauers and Duffy Waldorf. No offense toward any of those champions, but if they can do it, so can Daly. Cheap Jerseys From China . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday.

The double thump of foot hitting ball and then ball hitting hand. A perfect bounce. A race for the end zone barely won.A blocked field goal in the fourth quarter against Ohio State changed Penn States season. The Nittany Lions have not lost since and Happy Valley is happier than its been with its football team in the five years since a scandal shook the program and the school.Winning might not cure everything, but it certainly makes it easier to shift the focus away from lawsuits , statues and how best to commemorate anniversaries . For the first time in the post-Paterno, post-scandal era, the Nittany Lions are championship contenders. No. 8 Penn State (10-2, No. 7 CFP) makes its first appearance in the Big Ten championship game Saturday.The communitys been through a lot. This is a place where the football program really has always been stable, junior linebacker Jason Cabinda said this week. It was tough for the community to see us kind of fall off a bit. To finally see us kind of arrive again, I think its been huge.At the very least the game against No. 6 Wisconsin (10-2, No. 6 CFP) in Indianapolis will determine which team goes to the Rose Bowl. Penn State has not won the Big Ten or played in the Rose Bowl since 2008. It could also send a team to the College Football Playoff.Paterno was fired in 2011 after Jerry Sandusky, his former longtime assistant was arrested for sexually abusing children. Penn State football was sanctioned by the NCAA in 2012 and has been digging out since. The Nittany Lions had three straight 7-6 seasons before this years resurgence under third-year coach James Franklin, who got a vote of confidence from athletic director Sandy Barbour earlier this season amid speculation about his job security.Franklin has deflected most questions this week about where he and Penn State have been.I do think its significant that were at a time in our history where people are talking about what we are, what we currently are, what Penn State is, he said.And it all started with that blocked field-goal attempt against Ohio State on a chilly late October night in State College, Pennsylvania.Penn State had chipped a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit down to four, but the Buckeyes were looking to add another three with a 45-yard field goal with 4:39 left in the fourth quarter. The Nittany Lions at that point had only managed a couple sustained drives against the Buckeyes defense.The game drew a massive white-out crowd to Beaver Stadium, but the energy was relatively subdued throughout. Penn State fans were hopeful of an upset but not optimistic. Penn State came into the game 4-2, a three-touchdown underddog to the Buckeyes.dddddddddddd The Nittany Lions had not won a game like this in years.Ohio State had dawdled before sending kicker Tyler Durbin and the field-goal team on the field to try to extend the fourth-quarter lead. By the time Durbin had stepped back into position, there were 4 seconds left on the play clock. Penn State defensive back Marcus Allen was 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. At the snap he broke toward the line, slipped through a crease on the left side, and leapt high with both arms raised.Cabinda, who was lined up slightly to the right of the center, heard what happened before he saw it.Really, all I remember was just the double thump and seeing Grant (Haley) scoop the ball and take off, Cabinda said.The bounce of a football is just about the most unpredictable thing in sports. Picking up the ball as it bounces around like an excited toddler is one part hand-eye coordination and two parts good fortune.Allen blocked the ball down and to the left. It bounced once, twice and a third time, and then Haley, who had lined up on the far left, cradled it on the run. The defensive back had about a 5-yard head lead on Ohio State holder Cameron Johnston when they both broke into a sprint.Grants one of the fastest players on our team, quarterback Trace McSorley said. Once I saw him get the ball I knew he was going to be able to take it all the way.Well, it wasnt quite so easy. Johnston, the Australian rules football player turned punter, has got wheels.I mean their kicker is probably one of the fastest kickers Ive seen, star running back Saquon Barkley said.Johnston closed and dove for Haley at the 15, grabbing at his waist but sliding off. Haley stumbled into the end zone and Beaver Stadium erupted in a way it has not in forever.Penn State has been one of the best teams in college football since that moment. The Nittany Lions dont look back on that block as the turning point of the season, but there is no denying that beating Ohio State was worth a lot more than beating Maryland or Minnesota.To kind of see how much that win impacted not only our team, but the entire community here at State College and Penn State, I think it really opened our eyes to how impactful Penn State football is just among the Penn State community. How much people do care about it, McSorley said. It made us appreciate everything we have here that much more and made us work harder.---Follow Ralph D.
