John Daly the USA Olympian thinks he can out-drink John Daly the golfer

If you came home after a long day this week, threw on some Olympics, and came sprinting back into the room when you heard one JOHN DALY was about to drop in for his men's skeleton run, you've probably already figured out there's another John Daly running around PyeongChang in ridiculous red, white, and blue pants. No, not Long John, of PGA Championship, steakhouse, and hard ice tea fame, but Regular John from Long Island, who just so happens to compete in headfirst luge for a living.

In order to clear up any remaining confusion, after his run on Monday, Regular John assured reporters that he is, in fact, not that John Daly, but may nonetheless be interested in a casual drinking contest with the Big Man himself:

Never one to let a shot across the ol' bow go unanswered, John Daly fired back:

We're going to go out on a limb here and say this is bad idea for both parties: Regular John will end up in the ICU getting his stomach pumped while Long John, well, we all know what happens when he goes on a bender. Thankfully, though, it seems like both Johns are just messing around, and no one's taking the whole competitive drinking thing too seriously. From the sound of things, however, the Johns could very well meet on the track soon enough...if the IOC legalizes belly flops that is.
