He's a hell of a pitcher, no question.
And I admire that he talks candidly about the game.
But what are we to think when
he spouts off like a random sports-talk-radio yahoo caller?
I admire that he retracted his ignorant rant about Bonds.
But what are we to think when he did so only because a) his manager told him to shut his cakehole; and b) he chose to offer a flaccid excuse for his verbal feces?
Quote:
Although Schilling wrote Wednesday that he had no excuse, he said the interview's early hour contributed to what he said.
"I'd love to tell you I was ambushed, misquoted, misinterpreted, something other than what it was, but I wasn't," he wrote. "I'm thinking that waking up at 8:30 a.m. to do the weekly interview we do with WEEI is probably not the greatest format and if you heard the interview it's not hard to realize that I'm usually awake about 30-45 seconds before it begins."
You have to wonder if crap like this is going to eventually cost him Hall of Fame votes.
