Patriots rookie quarterback Ryan Mallett has gotten advice from professional golfer John Daly on beating his past demons. The dedicated Arkansas fan has watched Mallett countless times from the sidelines, and the two became friends after they appeared on Jon Gruden's ESPN quarterback special. "I've always believed that the press loves to write about the past, whether it's good or bad," Daly said. "In my life, it's been bad. I've been telling him, don't live in that past. And I don't know about Ryan's past. You talk to everybody about it, there's nothing there. . . . You know the deal: If someone sees you drinking a beer, they think you're drunk, especially if you’re a celebrity. All I know is, he's a good kid."
