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?
