From the NY Post:
On his radio interview today, the injured Red Sox pitcher blasted New York fans for their joy over Brady’s impending knee surgery.
“The euphoria in New York is palpable,” Schilling said. “The Yankees suck this year and they are bitter and mad and making excuses over that. Now they got Tom going down so New York’s excited. It’s unfortunate, but when you crawl to the top of the pile you will have people trying to knock you down.”
Schilling apparently forgot there are two baseball teams in New York – and the Mets are in first place. And another New York team, the Giants, beat Brady and the Patriots in last year’s Super Bowl.
But why let the facts get in the way of a perfectly good rant?
After blasting New York fans for being enthused over Brady’s injury, Schilling took the time to remind fans that he was a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks when they beat the Yankees in the 2001 World Series.
“I was front row and center when their ‘dynasty’ ended,” Schilling said.
Schilling then praised the fans of Boston, who have long been known for respecting the Yankees and rooting for nothing but good health for their stars.
“They want us to be as bitter and mad as they are,” Schilling said. “Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen.”
Why not guarantee a Patriots win over the Jets on Sunday while he’s at it?
“The sad part is going to be when they beat the Jets next week,” Schilling said. “Then they are going to come up with something else.”
At the end of the day, Curt Schilling is a fat, obnoxious, shit talking blowhard that has nothing to do anymore because the Red Sox, a team that he loves, is going on and doing great things while he has to sit on the sidelines and watch from a distance (did I mention that he voted for George Bush, twice?). Whether it’s Kobe Bryant or the Yankees, Curt Schilling always has to find something to talk about after the Sox discarded him upon the news of his injury.
His comments regarding Yankee fans, calling them bitter and saying that Red Sox fans will never be “as bitter” as we are, is simply nonsensical. Sure, Yankee fans are pissed about the Yankees, but being bitter means that fans are harboring a deep resentment, when that’s not at all true for us. If anything, that’s the very definition of a Red Sox fan (bitter to the bone), as they’re a group that can’t be happy with their own victories and need to draw in the Yankees in order to feel better about themselves. Look at what Schilling is doing. It’s the definitive trait of any Red Sox fan. Rail on the Yankees while your team is succeeding because, you know, that’s what Sox fans do. They don’t care about their wins, instead they care about our losses. Bitching and moaning about the Yankees this year, or their fans, when the team is doing so poorly is just sad.
Also, nobody that I’ve seen is going around clapping because Tom Brady is hurt. I’ve seen no connection between the Yankees, their fans, and the Brady injury. If anything, the entire football world is silently snickering with their backs turned. But, maybe it’s because of the cheating allegations that have plagued the Patriots for years now. Maybe this entire thing is called karma. You know, it’s like going undefeated all year and then losing in the final playoff game—that sort of karma. What’s sad is that I felt sorry for Curt Schilling when it seemed like his career was over just a few months ago. Now, I could care less and it’s not because the Yankees suck, it’s because he’s an idiot with no sense of class or sense of reality. Go away old man and stop talking.
