Rated R For Repulsive: My Boneheads of the Week

With the week almost over, I've been scanning and surfing through this atrocity known as the Internet to find the people who have done something so stupid that it warrants a permit to be that off the wall.

After careful deliberation with several members of the BR Cabinet, these seven entities have earned the title of Boneheads of the Week.

And man, have they earned it!

7) New York Yankees

The Yankees are getting this not because of A-Rod's thumb wrestling war with Lenny Kravitz, or because of Derek Jeter's affectionate side after the All-Star Game. They are getting this because their front office is hell-bent on tainting one of baseball's storied franchises.

The reason: Barry Bonds.

As reported earlier this week, Yankees' loudmouth Hank Steinbrenner confirmed that the Yankees are not interested in Barry Bonds. Then he goes on to confirm that the Yankees are interested in Barry Bonds. Despite Hank's "Dubya-itis," Tuesday night's All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium was not disrespected by the Yankees in any way, shape or form.

6) Green Bay Packers

The Packers had a busy offseason. It started with the retirement of Packer legend Brett Favre. Then there came the butterflies from Aaron Rodgers about becoming the starter next season. After grabbing Louisville brainchild Brian Brohm in the draft, the Packers were set to prove a point: They can win without Favre. Everything was going in the right direction...

until Favre pulled a Vince McMahon and shook things up.

For the past couple of months, the rumor mill has ran rampant with reports that Favre is planning a return to the gridiron after his tearful goodbye back in March. Now the Packers are playing possum by not releasing Favre so that he can pursue other options.

In all honesty, how much hair can Rodgers pull out before he can finally relax and have a beer?

5) Edge and Vickie Guerrero

In the wrestling circles all over the web, everyone is split between the antics and actions of the "Rated R Superstar" and his blushing "crippled" bride. This Friday night on SmackDown!, the two are set to join in Unholy Matrimony. Whether this is a good idea or not is not the issue here. What is the issue is the past eight months.

Since they went public with their sordid affair back in November, Edge and Vickie have kept SmackDown!'s ratings bouncing off the walls. But after One Night Stand, they have sent them down the toilet. With the Great American Bash only four days away, I think it's time for the fans to bombard both the BR and WWE with demands for a change on SmackDown!

4) Brett Favre

Alas, my poor Packer. We knew him well. At least we thought we knew him. The man who brought us to tears with his final goodbye a few months ago is now yelling, "April Fools!" Guess we didn't know him well.

He told us he lost the love for the game. He was wrong. Dan and John left quietly, but it wouldn't be very noble for Favre to do the same? I can't speak for everyone, but I can speak for myself. Brett, do us all a favor and stay on the sidelines. If you plan to come back to the NFL, at least be a coach or something. There are other quarterbacks in this league, you know.

3) John Bradshaw Layfield

These are trying times for the McMahons. The only thing they asked of the RAW Superstars was to come together in this moment of need for the good of the company. What did they get? A New York loudmouth crossing the line between support and dissolution.

This past Monday, Layfield decided it would be great to try to rundown his opponent at the Bash, John Cena. He knocked the CG Commander unconscious, set him up against the car and attempted to run another vehicle into that car. With a stern warning from the McMahon siblings to come together or there would be consequences, it's only a matter of time before JBL's tyranny leads to a "Stone Cold" truth.

2) Carlos Mencia

It's just comedy, but it was by far the most surprising sketch from the man who has spent a majority of his career bashing Bush (no pun intended). On last night's episode of Mind of Mencia, Carlos opened the show with a freestyle rebuttal (as Kobe Bryant) to Shaq's rap to the Lakers' anchor.

After all the insults hurled towards the east coast for defeating "the best player in the NBA today," this was possibly the final nail in the coffin of this year's NBA Finals. But if anyone else saw this skit, can they explain to me how Carlos looked more black last night than Kobe during the Finals?

1) Boston Red Sox

On Tuesday night, the A.L. won the All-Star Game...again. It was the bat of J.D. Drew that started the charge of the American League. He's a great slugger, but when it comes to interviews, he really sucks at it. But the entire team has to suffer from the antics of its all stars.

Jon Papelbon felt disrespected by the crowd at Yankee Stadium during the pregame, as fans hurled insults at Mrs. Papelbon. He felt that they should have given him a little more respect than that.

I'm sorry Jon, but whom do you play for again?

After the game, J.D. Drew tried his best to ease the tension between the Sox and the fans, but was lost for words (or forgot his dictionary) while accepting the MVP award.

There are many reasons why the Sox are the No. 1 Boneheads of the Week, but the biggest reason is one of their players expecting the rival fans to get on their knees and scream, "We're not worthy!" to his wife.

Just a little advice, Boston: You still have to make it to the dance, and the way that Tampa Bay is playing right now, you got your work cut out for you.

If you need more proof on why the Yankee fans booed you Tuesday night, Boston, the picture of a kid flipping the visiting team off should give you enough reason.
