Poor Matt umm Boner is it?

Life must be pretty easy backing up Tim Duncan. Not too much pressure or responsibility. Just come in, play your 15 minutes a game, go sit on the bench, and at the end of the season go get your championship ring. Seems simple enough….unless your name is Matt Bonner. I’m sure Matt was ridiculed a lot growing up for having a last name so close to the underrated word “boner”, so by now at age 27 he’s probably used to this sort of thing. Yes, you guessed it, Matt was mistakenly called Matt Boner in a photo caption.
Specifically, the correction points out:
ATTENTION EDITORS: Matt Bonner #15 of the San Antonio Spurs was incorrectly identified as Matt Boner within the captions of the following photos: GYI0051088925.jpg GYI0051088947.jpg GYI0051088955.jpg We apologize for any inconvenience. Corrected versions will follow.
The fact that a retraction was issued has to be somewhat disconcerting for Matt. I mean how many people do you think really noticed the caption on the originial photo? Now how many more people are going to read or hear about this because of Ghetty’s decision to issue a retraction? Poor Matt…Boner is it?
