Curt, here’s a bit of advice. Stick to 38 Studios and creating an “entertainment experience set in a truly evolving fantasy world that is both warmly familiar and intriguingly unique.”

There is no way you could possibly duplicate the fantasy world the Republican party has created over the last eight years or so.

As long as Jim Bunning stays in the Senate, the “retired baseball pitcher turned politician” quota has been filled.

Sorry Curt.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha (deep breath) hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Thanks for the laugh. Much appreciated.

Bunning’s retiring in 2010.

If Curt Schilling honestly thinks he has anything more than an idea’s chance in Sarah Palin’s brain to get elected senator in MA, he hasn’t learned anything from his 5 years here. Curt, if you’re pitching against the Yankees in the playoffs, our cheers are for the pitching. Not one whit more, not even the Dunkin Donuts commercials. Don’t be confused by the knuckleheads you hear on talk radio blathering about Obawmer– their support will get you about 17% of the electorate. We hate self-satisfied ignorance, and now more than ever we want someone to do the liberal lion some kind of justice..

There will be blood, Curt. For your sake, stay out.

Any Boy King’s Schilling…

Or something, as well. Also.

Aw nuts…

It’s not too surprising that so many professional athletes tend to be conservative: they’re millionaires, they cheat when they can get away with it, they’re homophobic, and in their world success is a zero-sum game (if you win, the other guy has to lose). They are ideal Republicans.

This is the dilrod who put red paint on his sock so he could look like a bleeding tough guy during the 2004(?) Series, innit?

He’s right up there w/ mirror-carving-B woman (Amber? Ashley?) & Kenny “Wheelchair Olympics” Gladney. (Do not know or care about the sp.)

Bookmark my words, this will be the new Republican thing: In their desperate hunt for a mighty, Reaganesque leader to inspire the authoritarians, they will be looking at every ham actor & “rah-rah, Gawd Bless America!” athlete they can find. Maybe some motivational speakers would be a good fit, also.

I don’t know…it seems like more and more agents are telling athletes to be as non-political as humanly possible simply because they don’t want to damage the “brand” that athlete is.

That’s why guys like Tiger Woods and Alex Rodriguez are so horribly bland in interviews – it wouldn’t do to say something that’s going to tick off half the people who buy your swag (never mind the sponsors who don’t want you besmirching their corporate image).

Bunning and Schilling are “throwbacks” to an older age when athletes were much more likely to speak first and think never.

Schilling/Buckner 2012!!

May he be as successful in his political endeavors as Lynn Swann.

That’s all true, but I have a hard time preferring idiocy, even if honestly espoused, over bland pablum. Now Muhammad Ali, Curt Flood, Jackie Robinson, Jim Brown – those guys weren’t afraid to take an unpopular position that they’d actually thought about. That seems like the kind of thing we need more of.

Frankly, I was never too crazy about him as a pitcher.

Bring back Oil Can Boyd!

But once you’re retired, you can say what you damned well please — no?

Maybe Bill Lee will sign up for the Democrat’s to nuetralize Schilling. Why is it that Republicans never seem to run candidates with public service backgrounds? I know, rhetorical question.

Goodammit, don’t pick on Bill Buckner, he was a decent guy, and actually one hell of a player, too.

You would think, yes…but some just can’t shake the habit.

I mean, it was a big freakin’ deal for former Bucs and 49ers quarterback Steve Young to come out in opposition to Prop 8. That’s just not something athletes, even retired athletes, do.

The “batshit crazy, we would have thought you’d gotten it from being hit in the head but you’re a baseball player, not a football one” quota is filled by Bunning as well.

In their desperate hunt for a mighty, Reaganesque leader to inspire the authoritarians, they will be looking at every ham actor & “rah-rah, Gawd Bless America!” athlete they can find.

I’m actually kinda scared that the Reps will draft Gary Sinese for something. He’s articulate [also voices all those “Army Strong” commercials], relatively good looking, not batshit crazy and a conservative – whoa, what more could the Reps want?

OTOH, who was that idiot actor who recently talked about “being unemployed, receiving welfare, and ‘pulling myself up by my bootstraps’.” Nimrod had no idea food stamps & public assistance were “government” programs.

Ah —> Craig T. Nelson.

Bill Lee is a resident of Vermont last time I looked.

Martha Coakley is salivating for the seat but she scares the hell out of me with her dead expression and prosecutor’s eyes.
