Sportswriter Michael Wilbon of ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption offered his short list of athletes he’d like to see on the next Dancing With The Stars:

Retired NBA star Charles Barkley Tennis Commentator John McEnroe NBA center Shaquille O’Neil NFL quarterback Peyton Manning LPGA golfer Michelle Wie Former NFL Coach Mike Ditka

Admittedly, Dancing With The Stars is more of a post-career choice, [...]

The Mark Rolfing based headline over at the Honolulu Advertiser puns on Michelle Wie’s bogeying the Unlucky 13th as the sore point of yesterday’s third place finish.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin’s Dave Reardon takes the preferred approach, opting instead for the birdy on the 10th hole, namely a sea gull, as he takes his pun shot at [...]

It really helps that Michelle Wie is photogenic and well spoken in public.

If she were a fat, ugly, drug abusing, hypocritical, talentless, wind bag of a radio personality then you’d have to think she, as someone of high regard in her field, must be purely a creation of media hype.

She’s as entertaining with a microphone [...]

Michelle Wie tied for last in today’s opening round of the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Let the punditry begin.

Most news outlets are running with a variation of two pun-filled headlines (pun intended):

Wie suffers woeful start at Sony Open Michelle Wie blown away at Sony Open

Michelle’s round one 79 puts her out of contention. Her plans for tomorrow?

“Try [...]

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin’s Paul Arnett does the write up for Michelle Wie in the paper’s “10 To Watch in ‘06″ series.

Arnett provides a nice summary of the goings on in Michelle’s life without cheerleading or malice to sell the story.

Realistically, she will never make a living playing only with the big boys, but for now [...]

Hey, I still have my SI subscription. Don’t think ESPN Magazine could compete for my readership.

In its year end edition, Sports Illustrated selected ten rising stars they consider “crowd-pleasers.”

While the print issue features a better, more relaxed-casual photo of Michelle Wie (shown here), the online edition runs with a decidedly more editorial image and the [...]

Jim Brighters, Golf Editor of the Houston Chronicle, calls 2005 the “Year of Controversy” citing four instances of golf curmudgeonry and rule digging with Michelle Wie’s Sam Sung disqualification at number one.

Previewing his upcoming, obligatory end of the year story Brighters offers the following…

1.) What do you think was the biggest story of the year [...]

Michelle Wie is one of Time Magazine’s People Who Mattered in 2005.

Before even turning pro in October, which earned her $10 million in endorsements, the 16-year-old wunderkind of women’s golf this year finished second in three LPGA events, became the first woman to make the field in a USGA national men’s championship—and coped with curious [...]

Michelle Wie talks about her short game in the January 2006 issue of Golf for Women.

The issue is scheduled to hit stands on December 20, which means we’ll probably get it shortly before New Year’s Eve.

Or if we’re really lucky we’ll see it before the Sony Open.

Too bad she didn’t garner a cover as she [...]

Since I haven’t read the novel myself I’ve glommed onto an author’s PR machine. Such is the life of the internet writer, but I digress.

Punahou Blues by Kirby Wright is named for and set at Punahou High School, which not coincidentally is the very same high school Michelle Wie is currently attending.
