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.

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.”

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!

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!

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!

Tennis has long been known as one of those non-contact sports. Injuries usually are leg/foot/ankle/hand/wrist related. Unless… Unless you are a bonehead and decide to smash your dome into a tennis racquet. Check out Mikhail Youzhny as he loses the point and then nearly loses his head. That’s gonna leave a mark for a while. Calm down you bonehead!

Classic Larry Bowa took place in LA last night. This guy is awesome. 2nd game of the MLB season and he’s not even the manager. He is the 3rd base coach for the Dodgers. Ed Montague gave him a warning to “stay in the box” over at 3rd and he was like, “No.” Before you know it – these two were in a face to face argument and Larry Bowa went Larry Bowa on him. He got ejected and the Dodger coaches tried keeping him away but he wouldn’t have it. Finally Bowa left with tossing the water jug. Nice to see a little fire in the LA Dodgers. Good work ya bonehead! Here is a small video clip that captures some of it.

In SPRING TRAINING!  Settle down guys, the season hasn’t even started yet.  Apparently the Yanks weren’t real pleased with a hard play at the plate and have complained about the D-Rays “aggressive play”.  Well, Shelly Duncan slid hard into 2nd base with his spikes pointed towards the guys dome.  Not smart!

So obviously the Devilrays were not happy about this.  The benches cleared and a few players and coaches were ejected.  Come on guys – save the boneheaded MLB wuss fights for the real season – not spring training!

Have you ever heard of Trip Isenhour?  Neither had we until this story. Isenhour is facing legal charges for “killing” a hawk which is an endangered species.

“It was unfortunate, but there’ll be plenty of time for me to tell my story,” Isenhour said on the Golf Channel’s PODS Championship post-round show Friday, his first interview since news broke that he killed the protected bird Dec. 12.

“It’s one of regret and remorse that it happened, because I’m certainly sorry to hurt a migratory bird, or any bird for that matter.”

Why in the world are you shooting at a bird in the first place?  Do you really have nothing better to do with your time? Go practice some golf so we might hear about your for some real reasons instead of some criminal reason.  BONEHEAD!!!

Not much to write about this as it’s all found here in this link.  But cmon Red Sox fans – quit being boneheads and giving all your fans a bad name!
