Is it possible Michelle Wie broke her wrist on purpose to avoid competing?
Tuesday February 13, 2007 | 01:59:10 368 words, 6129 views
Usually, I shun conspiracy theories. Unless they involve NBA referring or Patrick Ewing’s draft status. I let WorldGolf.com’s own Willie K. Wolfy hang out with the crowd that lives in secret basement bunkers and favors hand-cranked radios. But Michelle Wie’s busted wrist while jogging incident is raising all kinds of weird vibes (and no I haven’t been using any of the stuff Andy Reid’s kids apparently favor). Sure, it’s crazy. Absurd even … But is it possible - possible - that our beloved Winless Wonder battered her wrist on purpose? Either consciously, or even subconsciously, could Wie have taken a fall to avoid facing another one on the golf course? Or to put it in terms that Wie Wariors can understand - a group in which I’m a proud card carrying member - could Michelle have taken herself out to give everyone else a chance to win? This baseless theory doesn’t have to be a negative one. Wie could have lunged over a log in the ultimate selfless act of humility, as a way to delay her any-day-now stranglehold over the golf world. This is the kind of thing that often makes me declare that Michelle Wie is more courageous than 25 firefighters with medals and that subway hero from New York put together. Sure there’s no evidence whatsoever to back up this possibility, but think about it. Even the most earnest Wie Warriors like Jennifer “I see champions” Mario are advancing the notion that this break could be the best thing for Wie. Maybe, just maybe, Wie realized the only way she could get a break is to break something and … whoa, whoa, who’s falling now? Personally, I think this idea is crazier than that diaper astro chick and Anna Nicole Smith’s various post-death suitors put together. You cannot help but wonder if athletes like Jeff Kent (broke bones washing his truck) and Brian Griese (tripped over his dog on the stairs and rearranged his face) are curious though. Would any other multimillionaire, corporate spokesperson athlete be given such a pass on details of the incident and whether anything’s actually broken or not (do we even know? Yet?) Next time: Is Michelle Wie’s publicist really an alien who landed at Chicago’s O’Hare?

Now now Chris, it high time to lay off old Jennefer Mario and her embarrasing book. She was just trying to get in on the ground floor in all the Wie-craziness. It's not her fault Michelle is the way she is.
And besides, I think she's a bit busy writing her next book, "Tadd Fujikawa, The making of a champion (I'm sure this time)"

Is it possible that the Super Bowl was just fake and all of the players were just sophisticated holograms. The wonder of computing technology!

I just read the excerpt from Jennifer Mario's book. It says MW hates to run. Whoa. So she is faking the injury!!!

I heard (I think on the local news) that Michelle fell while jogging at Ala Moana Beach Park. There are no logs, no tree roots, no obsticles whatsoever. In fact there is no dirt either if you stay on the paved bicycle path (as all the joggers do).

Chris,
I haven't heard that Bubbles' wrist was broken or even sprained. She does have it in a rigid cast, though. If she had an ingrown toenail she would probably need a full body cast. Is Bubbles an actress? Who knows? Come to think of it, she did make a remarkable and speedy recovery from that "heat exhaustion" that was so severe that it required an ambulance and hospitalization. Her alleged injury is now and forever will be a built-in excuse for any further flops that she may have. It is also a vehicle her publicists will use to inveigh about her courage and tenacity in case she does have some fairly decent tournaments in the foreseeable future. Stay tuned as more of Lard's soap opera unfolds.

I heard she was wearing a new Nike wrist watch and it fitted a bit tight so she withdrew.

After reading Baldwin's post, I had a vision of Chris sitting at the keyboard in his underpants with a tin foil hat on. What a nightmare!
Kick back with a tall glass of KoolAid Chris and keep floating out the CTs.

JESUS, CHRIS...THE WILLIAMS SISTERS HAVE BEEN USING INJURY EXCUSES FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS AND THOSE ENDORSEMENT CHECKS JUST KEEP COMING IN. YOU HAVE AN UNBELIEVABLE NEGATIVE FIXATION ON MICHELLE WIE. YES, CHRIS, IT IS TRUE THAT MICHELLE BROKE HER WRIST ON PURPOSE. SHE WAS REALLY HOPING FOR A COMPOUND FRACTURE, BUT SHE EVEN SCREWED THAT UP. THE NEXT THING YOU WILL PROBABLY CRITICIZE THE TYPE OF HARD CAST SHE IS WEARING!! HOW ABOUT DOING SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE WITH YOUR LIFE!!

Comparing the Williams to the Wie's is an insult to the Williams.
I'm sorry but it is :(

Ronmon
People who jog at Ala Moana Beach Park jog on the paved bicycle path. pave /peɪv/ paved, pav·ing. 1. to cover or lay (a road, walk, etc.) with concrete, stones, bricks, tiles, wood, or the like, so as to make a firm, level surface. ref. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/paved (pardon the sarcasm) There is no dirt path. You see, the key word is BEACH park. It's on the BEACH. If one isn't jogging on the paved bicycle paths, then they're either jogging on the sand, on the paved roads or parking lots, There are a few grassy fields (within the picycle paths), but they are occupied by picnicers or the homeless. Yes, believe it or not, there is a huge homeless problem in Hawaii. I guess it's not far fetched to assume that Michelle, the champion that she is, was jogging from homeless tent to homeless tent feeding the poor and providing them with basic needs. And then tripped over a coconut as One-Putt pointed out. (One-Putt could be right, coconuts are lying around) But then again, I didn't read that "making of the something" book.

One-Putt,
When do your think Bubbles and Carol Bivens will call that joint press conference to announce Lard's decision to graciously accept that 2007 season-long exempt status on the LPGA tour? You confidently predicted that happening about a week ago, and since you seem to have an inside track as to the maneuverings of the Wie publicists, many of us skeptics figure that you might give us the skinny on that momentous occurence. You did provide the caveat with your prediction that "you may be wrong" RonMOn, If caveat is also a new word for you, its meaning is in all dictionaries, as is the meaning and connotation for the word "inveigh."By the way, inveigh was used quite properly. And when did you start correcting grammar, spelling, and usage on these blogs?

What do you want from us JoeCool? We have a combined 60 singles titles to our credit, including 13 Grand Slam titles, we have both been ranked # 1 in the world and dominated women's tennis for years. Yet you choose to compare us to Michelle Wie, the winless wonder. The only thing we have in common with Michelle is height and maybe Serena's weight.

Chris or the Blog Owner,
Can you delete the post from "The Williams Sisters". Impersonating people should not be tolerated on the blog.

Stanley,
How do you know that the Williams Sisters are being impersonated? If you are advocating censorship, maybe you should confine your posts to Mario's blog. She advocates and practices censorship of conflicting viewpoints. Chris does not.

Have you been looking for me? You might enjoy life a whole lot more if you got me back.
I think somebody was just pokeing a little fun at your poor comparison between Michelle Wie and actual champions(that is people who have actually won something)

Sorry I didn't realise it was a censorship free zone.
The guy who wrote as a Williams sister is a dickhead in that case.

Stanley,
Since you are the embodiment of the consummate limey, you should be forgiven for your lack of perspicacity However, you should also be apprised of the rules of discovery and jurisprudence prevalent in the colonies. In polite company, something you British hooligans are seldom involved in, the man's name is Richard Cranium.

Stanley, your demanding that the Williams sister post be taken down is the funniest thing this blog board’s seen since the last time RonMon tried to string a sentence together. I think you meant Stanleyhead in your last post however.

I don't believe she even has a broken wrist. Her publicists won't confirm it and neither will she, citiing "x-rays are private." I think the fake cast is more evidence of the slow unraveling of another sports prodigy. Sad, really.

Michelle is a great golfer, and a fantastic person.
Well done Chris & Co. for increasing her endorsement value.

Couldn't agree more Jack. Michelle Wie has already done so much for golf and really given the womens game much more notice.
Her major performances have been magnificant so far.

Guys, what are such famous names doing posting on an obscure blog.
Anyway, since you started the posting, just to add to it, Michelle has already achieved so much at such a young age. She was the youngest usga winner of an adult event, the youngster to qualify for an lpga event, the youngest to make a major cut, and she holds the best amateur scores at each of the four lpga majors. Truely remarkable girl, and a great player.

Sorry daddy, but Chris is just so cute that when we were looking at his picture, we sort of got confused, and just made one post of it.
What's for dinner anyway, hope it's nice.

It's chicken and beans for dinner. If you fancy Chris Baldwin that much, ask him over for lunch. There is plenty of dinner for Chris as well.

Hello??? I'm awfully lonely, just sitting here by myself. You guys told me I would have lot's of company in the years to come. Hello?? Michelle are you still playing golf? I guess you didn't need that trophy room afterall...

Ya know, if Michelle does (or did) have a nervous breakdown, then Jennifer Mario is just as responsible as anyone for overhyping Michelle and placing upon her expectations that are hard enough for full time professionals with years and years of experience.
I hope Jennifer remembers that each and everytime she cashes in a royalty check.

Jennifer Mario will never understand the
meaning of your post, bad joke. The woman is a degenerate.
2007-02-15 @ 21:55
Comment from: Chris Baldwin [Member]
Calling the lovely Mario a degenerate is out of line Booger. A dominating dominatrix yes, a degenerate no way. Mario chooses to try and enforce civility on her blog. I’d rather let crackpots reveal themselves with their comments, believing it’s much more effective to let people reveal their character with their own unedited words.
Just a slight difference of opinion. Thanks for making my way look like genius though Booger.

Since when is bashing Ms Mario cool and fun? How come nobody told ME??!!?? I love reading her blogs (and Wolfie's too) when I need a concentrated dose of liberal pollyanna-ism!!! On-point, though, the timing of the 'injury' and the lack of hard news surrounding it DO seem a tad suspicious....
