From one blogger to another to another: Schilling has the courtside scoop on Kobe's potty mouth
Boston Red Sox pitcher Curtis Montague Schilling (his real name) got to sit courtside with "some ridiculously good tickets" for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, wearing his Larry Bird throwback jersey (we think with a T-shirt on under it, but we aren't sure). And the stuff he heard Kobe Bryant saying ... and Pau Gasol whining .. .and Phil Jackson cursing ... it was enough to make his sock bloody. (Although we all know that was fake, right Gary Thorne?)
First, straight from Schilling's blog, 38pitches.com, through extra commentary from SportsByBrooks.com, and now here, we become enlightened by Schilling's "newbie" observations on how teammates motivate each other (and why would you stick you son with the name Gehrig?)
And for some more commentary on Schilling's comments by TheBigLead.com: "Kobe bitching at his teammates is nothing new, but here's what we're interested in: Why didn't any sportswriters note this? Assuming at least a handful of them are still seated courtside - although in recent years, teams have jettisoned many of them to make room for high-rollers who are willing to shell out big bucks to have James Posey fall into their popcorn - surely some of them had to hear this. We can't seem to find any mainstream outlet that has written about this in the last 36 hours. And it's sort of difficult not to notice a teammate rolling his eyes at the team's best player, right? This leads us to believe Schilling is exaggerating, or perhaps sportswriters fear getting iced by Kobe.
And, by the way, what do you think Schill's response would be to a blogger who happened to be sitting in the AFLAC-close seats next to the Fens' Red Sox's dugout after the pitcher was cursing up a wicked storm, and then saw it posted on his Internet machine typing device?
