The Curt Schilling Sock Update
Via Curt Schilling's Website, in reference to Gary Thorne's accusation that he painted it to look bloody during the 2004 ALCS:
I’ll wager 1 million dollars to the charity of anyones choice, versus the same amount to ALS. If the blood on the sock is fake, I’ll donate a million dollars to that persons charity, if not they donate that amount to ALS.
Muhahahahahahaha.
I also love this gem from Schill's diatribe:
If you haven’t figured it out by now, working in the media is a pretty nice gig. Barring outright plagiarism or committing a crime, you don’t have to be accountable if you don’t want to. You can say what you want when you want and you don’t really have to answer to anyone.
Um, hello? Don Imus?
And you have to love the first of over 200 comments to the post:
Come on, Curt. Just admit to painting the sock. None of your present or past teammates like you, so the truth is going to come out eventually anyway.
CONCLUSION:
This is stupid. It was a joke. No one cares about your ankle.
