curt schilling: just shut up and pitch... !

Let's get past the fact I agree with every word he said about Bonds:

"He [Bonds] admitted he used steroids. There's no gray area," Schilling said on WEEI. "He [Bonds] admitted cheating on his wife, cheating on taxes and cheating on the game."

And lets get past the writer of the above-linked article contradicting himself:

This: "Barry Bonds never has admitted to using steroids."

With This: "[Greg Anderson -- Bonds' personal trainer and longtime friend] was indicted for illegal distribution of steroids. Bonds told the grand jury that he believed Anderson had given him flaxseed oil and arthritic balm, a substance that turned out to contain steroids.

And getting past the fact nobody -- repeat, nobody -- believes Bonds didn't know what he was taking (a lot of hurdles here, I know), my issue in this post is with the dope that is Curt Schilling.

Notice the pics I've enclosed? How is it, do you suppose, that a man like Schilling, who stumped for a war-criminal, while escorting his seriously amoral old biddy of a mother:

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths," Barbara Bush said on ABC's "Good Morning America" on March 18, 2003. "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

... can now say this about anybody?

"I don't care if he's black, green, purple or yellow or whatever. It's just unfortunate there's good people and bad people."

My God! Curt Schilling has got to be the most self-absorbed and intellectually dishonest professional athlete on the face of the Earth.

Big list, that? Y'think?

Update: Curt's mea culpa...

As someone who’s made it very clear I have major issues with members of the media that take little or no pride in their work it’s the height of hypocrisy for me to say what I did, in any forum. . .

It was a callous, wreckless and irresponsible thing to say, and for that I apologize to Barry, Barry’s family, Barry’s friends and the Giants organization, my teammates and the Red Sox organization as well as anyone else that may have been offended by the comments I made.

So give the guy a pat on the back and tell 'im to get out there on the mound. Play ball!
