Schilling calls New York sports fans 'bitter'

[cboy4]

BOSTON - A shoulder injury has kept Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling sidelined all season, but his mouth is in good enough shape to take on New York.

Schilling blasted New York sports fans, calling them "bitter and mad and miserable" for their apparent glee over New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's season-ending knee injury.

Schilling talked about Brady's injury Tuesday during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio.

"The euphoria in New York is palpable," he said. "I mean, the Yankees suck this year. And they're bitter and mad and they're making excuses over that. And now, you know, now they got Tom going down, so, you know, New York's excited."

He later added: "They want us to be as bitter and mad and miserable and they are. And, unfortunately, it's not going to happen. The sad part is going to be when (the Patriots) beat the Jets next week."

1. FYI: Schilling and McCain (Huffington piece from January)

THE HUFFINGTON POST:

McCain Donated To Schilling Charity After Endorsement

One week after Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling "officially" endorsed Sen. John McCain for president, the Beantown hero received a softball of his own: a hefty donation ($4,600) from the McCain campaign to his and his wife's charity.

On December 6, 2007, Schilling, relatively fresh off of his second World Series title with Boston, hit the campaign trail on McCain's behalf, making an appearance at the Derryfield School in New Hampshire.

The donation was legal. At the time, McCain's campaign was in deep debt, with the possibility of a New Hampshire victory still considered unlikely. After the endorsements, Schilling kept an active presence on the trail, even shooting an advertisement on McCain's behalf.

The McCain campaign would not return request for comment. But campaign finance watchdogs see this as a bizarre if not questionable use of campaign dollars.
"In general it is inappropriate for members to be giving away campaign dollars for charities. It's not why people made their contributions," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "If John McCain personally believed in Curt Schilling's charity it is one thing. It is another to ask people to give money to his candidacy and have it go to Curt Schilling's charity. The only way that makes sense is that he is paying for the endorsement, although they are apparently long time friends."
