Any body catch Curt Schilling telling people to vote Bush on TV today?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

I heard about it on GD2004 but I want a quote - and that forum scares me :scared:

[tcfrogs]

1. I just heard it on ESPN radio

Don't have the exact quote, but to paraphrase "I hope everyone out there votes for Bush." That's probably completely wrong, but they might play it again.

2. Can you imagine...

if ARod blasphemed like that..???

[Kathy in Cambridge]

3. Mixing Politics and Baseball is bad form

that wasn't a very classy move.

10. Let's be honest...

Curt is a fantastic, near-Hall of Fame pitcher, but classy has never been his thing. It's like all of his interviews are designed by him to increase his own mythic status--I've never heard an athlete talk about how tough it was to play with an injury than Curt has the last two weeks. It would have been a lot more impressive had he been a bit more stoic, you know? The rumor around baseball is that Randy Johnson rejected a trade to the sox because he refused to play on a team with Schilling again.

4. Well, he was thanking Jesus for his playoff performance

so I kinda expected this.

Bloody sock, facial abrasions from bicycle wreck, it's all stigmata to these assholes.

7. Hey! I'm a Catholic for Kerry. I wish we'd all stop stereotyping.

Thanks. :hi:

8. I'm a Catholic for Kerry too but I know the difference twixt Jesus™ and

the real thing!

5. It just confims my thoughts that a lot of sports people are morons.

We're not talking about a lot of Mensa members here. :-)

Keith Olberman is one of the people from sports who has half a brain.

11. Mike Mussina

has a degree in Economics from Stanford, but yeah, other than him and a few others, you're totally right.

[farmbo]

6. Elite Sports millionaires for Bush? Stop the presses!

Still...the other Bosox need to reign him in...or endorse Kerry.

[sir_captain]

12. Here's betting that most of them

like most millionaires, are voting for their wallet.

[riverwalker]

9. I heard him on radio

but can't find the quote anywhere to link yet. Don't worry, FOX will play it a million times.

15. Here's a link

<Bush had his own World Series tie-in. Interviewed on ABC, Boston pitcher Curt Schilling urged viewers to vote for the president.>

13. So, Sox fans, your hero is an asshole

It's ok. Everyone roots for assholes.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. He Was That Before he Endorsed Li'l Georgie

Good pitcher, yes. Miserable human being, though.

17. And Yankees fans really know their assholes.

Now take Steinbrenner for instance ...........

:eyes:

[ArkDem]

18. What is the difference between a contraction and a pronoun?

[BeyondGeography]

19. Schilling wins the asshole derby today

But I'm sure George will have his moment in the sun again.

Have fun watching Curt stump for W.

16. Freepers Want Schilling to Stump for Bush

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1260076/posts

SCHILLING & W Word has it that President Bush called Curt Schilling from Air Force One to thank him for the endorsement on Good Morning America....I betcha they'll have him on the stump with W (he sure sounded willing on Good Morning America) in New Hampshire or Philly this weekend. (And yes, this is a smart and good thing, obnoxious Yankee fan admits on the public record.) Posted at 10:57 AM
