Clueless in Nacogdoches

 I wouldn't know Steve Lemke if he hit me in the head with all his dead brain cells, but I do know he's proof positive comedian Ron White was right. You really can't fix stupid.

Lemke is (or rather was) an assistant bowling coach at Stephen F. Austin, whose program is apparently a quasi-dynasty in collegiate bowling. You probably didn't know that, because college bowling is not as big as, say, college football. But that's OK. 

Steve Lemke just put it on your radar. And not in a good way.

No, Lemke did it by winning the coveted Dumbest Guy In America award, which is kinda like the Heisman for the terminally witless. This is because he lost his job back in April when it was discovered he was having an affair with one of the bowling student-athletes. 

The person who discovered this was Lemke's wife (or rather, ex-wife) Amber. She's also the head coach of the bowling team. 

Yes, that's right, boys and girls. Ol' Bonehead was cheating on his wife with one of her bowlers.

That's not what elevates Lemke to legend status, however. No, what does that is all the numbingly clueless stuff he told a Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel reporter recently. 

Basically he admitted the affair was "kind of a no-no," but it wasn't, you know, against the law or anything, so no harm done. Then he whined about being a stay-at-home dad while his wife pursued her coaching career. Why, she even expected him to watch the kids AND run practices occasionally. The injustice of it all, ya know? 

And how did she find out about the affair?

She found some texts on his phone from his (bleep) buddy. But, you know, nothing risque or anything.

"It was just about how amazing I am, basically, in a general perspective," Lemke told the Daily Sentinel.

Yeah, well ... about that, Steve-O.
