Just a Wie $200,000 gaffe

Michelle Wie, you are a bonehead. One of exorbinant proportions.

At the State Farm Classic Michelle Wie left the course without signing her scorecard. Every stinkin’ match at the professional level you are to sign your card to verify it. But not Michelle. The forgetfullness cost her somewhere between $180,000 to $255,000 and a chance to move into the Top 80 in money winnings for the season.

The 18-year-old, playing her best golf of the year, broke one of the game’s most basic rules: She failed to sign her scorecard before leaving the scoring area.

“I don’t know why or how it happened,” Wie said.

NO DUH!

Wie took no questions before leaving the clubhouse at Panther Creek Country Club. She climbed into an SUV with her parents and drove away.

Can you imagine getting into a car with your parents after that mistake?? Pause for a moment and think about THAT conversation.

Michelle Wie is a BONEHEAD.

This didn't take long for Rose

It didn’t take long for #1 NBA draft pick, Derrick Rose to find his way into the Sports Bonehead archives. Rose will appear in court this week for a traffic violation that occured just shortly after he declared for the draft.  Not just any traffic violation – but he was caught going 106 in a 65 MPH speed limit zone.  Yikes! The superstar has some speed.  This could result in a year of jail, but won’t.  It is his first boneheaded traffic violation so he should just get some traffic school.  Good find with this guy Chicago – something tells me this won’t be the last run-in he has with the law in his days with the Bulls.

Shaq is a freestyling bonehead

So in case you didn’t know – Shaq is a bonehead.  A big bonehead, but a bonehead none the less.  Check out his latest hip hop freestyle tune.

Listen to what Shaq had to say about it…

“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what MCs do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all. And by the way, don’t forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I’m a funny freestyler. Check the NBA DVD when I was rapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don’t make something out of nothing.”

Maybe you should make it a little further than Kobe and the Lakers before you start calling out Kobe.  Sure, you won a championship without him.  Whoopie.  Where are you now bonehead?

Classic Bonehead

If you dig through the pages of baseball history, you would be hard-pressed to find a bigger bonehead than Robin Ventura. Those that were fortunate enough to have Texas Rangers tickets that day witnessed a spectacular beating at the hands of old man Nolan Ryan, who headlocked poor Robin and roughed him up good.

Those who missed the greatest brawl in baseball history should have hit LoneStarStubs.com before the game. Lone Star Stubs offers great tickets to every Major League game for every Major League team. If you like your action even rougher than the occasional bench-clearing brawl, Lone Star Stubs also offers hockey tickets and boxing tickets.

Don't fire up Lebron, just don't do it

The Washington Wizards are boneheads. Gilbert Arenas, DeShawn Stevenson, Brendan Haywood and the whole crew. What makes you or anyone think it’s a good idea to talk crap and fire up one of the best basketball players to ever live, Lebron James. When asked about the upcoming playoff series against the Wizards, Arenas said something along the lines of:

“Of course we want to play the Cavs. Every team wants to play the Cavs in the first round. They are nothing better than a 50/50 team since the trade.”

Yikes… It gets better. DeShawn Stevenson went as far as to call out Lebron as being “overrated“. Ouch!

“He’s overrated,” DeShawn told Mike. “And you can say I said that” (Washington Post).

So this did indeed fire up Lebron who basically dominated the Wizards in games 1 and game 2. I think it is now time to apologize DeShawn! Honestly though, shouldn’t these guys just shut their mouths and try to play the game. They beat you EVERY YEAR. Why add fuel to the fire? In game 2, Brendan Haywood added to the boneheadedness by commiting a flagrant foul on the king which led to his ejection.

Some guys will never learn. One thing is for sure, should be an entertaining game 3 and 4.

MLB says no water for you!

I’m not sure if this boneheaded moment goes to the Major League Baseball Association or the Chicago Whitesox, but regardless, it’s boneheaded.  As the New York Yankees entered U.S. Cellular Field the other night there were two signs posted that read:

“NO BOTTLED WATER ON THE BENCH.”

Huh?  No bottle water? What?  Apparently, Gatorade is Major League Baseball’s “official sports drink.”  Instructions were sent out that said no player could be drinking anything else in the dugout.  No water, no soda’s, nothing.  Not even Aquafina which is the official water of the MLB.  No water with labels removed, NOTHING.

Oh my lord.  This is boneheaded.  It could be flabillion degrees in the Chicago Summers and guys can’t have water.  Crazy.  White Sox clubhouse personnel said if players take bottled water onto the bench, all the bottled water will be removed from the clubhouse as punishment.  Oh great idea.  Let’s totally dehydrate these guys.

Chad Johnson is officially a bonehead

I’ve always liked Chad Johnson and somewhat defended him when people “trash” him for his touchdown celebration antics. He has never really hurt the team and always gives it his all on the field. But after his latest antics he’s an all around bonehead. Johnson said,

“I want to be traded before the draft, and if that doesn’t happen, I want to be traded as soon as possible,” Johnson said. “I don’t intend on reporting to anything.”

Now what kind of stance is this. Trade me or I won’t play. Come on Chad, you are better than this. Seems like a bonehead move to me and will be interesting to see how the Bengals handle it from here. No way in Hell that Chad Johnson sits out!

4/23 Update: So the Bengals now say there is no way there are trading Chad Johnson.  This may qualify for boneheaded on the Bengals part as well.  I mean do you really want a disgruntled WR in your clubhouse?  You can have two winners here or two losers.  From the sounds of things – it’s gonna be a long year in Cinci.

“I’ve stated our case with Chad,” Lewis said. “He has a contract through 2011. He’s stated without an opportunity to go to a different team and a new contract, he wasn’t going to play. I think he’s a man of his word and says he’s not going to play, so don’t play.”

Carmelo Anthony gets a DUI

When your team is coming down to the wire, fighting for the last playoff spot, don’t you think your superstar should be focused? We think so! But bonehead Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets decided to focus his efforts on getting drunk and driving!  Carmelo got a DUI after their game the other night which could put the Nuggets in a bad situation come playoff time.  First of all, how in the world does a multi-million dollar athlete not have a flippin driver drive them around.  Call a buddy, call your coach, hire someone to drive your drunk-ass around.  He did offer up an apology:

“[Anthony] cooperated by consenting to a blood test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks,” [Anthony's lawyer] said in a prepared statement. “There was no accident and no one was hurt. Like anyone in a similar situation, Carmelo has to wait for the results of the blood test. He regrets putting himself in this situation. In the meantime, Carmelo will try to stay focused on his family and his team. Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets’ organization for the distraction this is causing them.”

BONEHEAD is becoming commonplace among NBA superstars unfortunately!

Sean Avery breaking the hockey code of conduct

Check this out. NHL’s favorite bonehead, Sean Avery, of the New York Rangers changed the hockey rulebooks in the middle of the freakin game the other night. Watch as he stands (back to the puck) in front of the goalie and puts his hands and stick in front of the goalie’s face. Diverting his attention as best he can. This was NOT illegal at all but was against every hockey “unwritten rule” there is. Until after this game- the NHL has now made this illegal and an immediate penalty. This bonehead is gonna get his freaking teeth knocked out very soon. Mark our words on that one. The best part is – he scores the goal on the next play. Ouch!

Manny Ramirez being… Manny Ramirez

This little story kinda flew under the radar, but it was surely a boneheaded moment.  In Wednesdays game between the Red Sox and Athletics, Manny Ramirez drove a ball deep to center field.  He immediately flung his bat and stood on homeplate admiring his “to be” homerun ball.  He kept his arms out posing like some kind of homerun model.  Well, the ball landed just shy of the fence in the centerfielders glove.  Take a seat Manny.

Seriously, if you are going to pose after a homerun and not run it out, it sure as hell better be out of the freakin stadium.  Don’t be doing that crap on a routine fly ball to the outfielder.  BONEHEAD!
