I have been holding off on this story hoping someone else will write it...
A day after writing on his blog that he has "some interest" in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Curt Schilling did not back off -- and sounded even more determined in considering the opportunity.
The one thing Schilling would not be fond of is the scrutiny that would come with a potential run.
"[Running] would be fun. The whole spotlight media crap, not so much," the former major league pitcher, who helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in 2004 and 2007, told Boston radio station WEEI on Thursday. "But [a run] would be a lot of fun because pretty much anybody that you're fighting against in office right now doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on right now.
"There's nobody you can go up against that you couldn't probably drag out a laundry list of stuff and say, 'Listen, this person's already proven that they're status quo, that they're business as usual, and we need anything but in every way shape and form moving forward."
A registered independent and longtime Republican supporter, Schilling wrote on his blog that while his family and video game company, 38 Studios, are high priorities, "I do have some interest in the possibility (ESPN)."
Ok first off Schilling you are a fucking liar. You love the media, you are actually part of the media. You shoot your mouth off on the radio all day, so don't act like that isn't why you are doing this. We have seen it so many times that there are guys who just can't leave the spotlight (Favre). Schilling knows he can't play anymore, but this would put him back in the media focus. No one should be surprised by this. He has had his hand in politics for awhile, and is just a fucking media whore. I respect everything he did for the Sox, and I do believe he pushed them over the hump, but man he makes it tough to like him...
