In light of Sarge's last post I thought the word porcine apropos. I discovered it this morning while reading an article on Fox Sports entitled Best Human Train Wrecks in Sports History. Not surprisingly golfer John Daley made the list. Here's the paragraph in which it is used:

The long driver continues to make a nice living as the PGA Tour's lone duffer. He chain smokes cigarettes on the course. He pounds beer, despite his long struggle with alcoholism. He travels to events in a recreational vehicle. Recent video footage of the porcine Daly playing shirtless furthered his Hillbilly image.

"...the porcine Daly..." I love that; can't wait to use it.
