As if the world needs to hear more from Curt Schilling, the Red Sox pitcher has entered the blogosphere. A recent post is titled: "Why the media sucks..." A class act, huh?Of course, everyone has a right to speak and anyone has a right to blog, but the overpaid hurler -- he makes about $15 million a year -- is likely using his site to gain leverage in contract negotiations and to pave the way for a possible political career. Good grief.
The Big Blowhard, as the Globe's Dan Shaughnessy calls him, has posted to fan web sites in recent years, where he's left gems like this: "One of the lines [Shaughnessy] failed to put into the article he wrote a few weeks back was me, on the phone, calling him an asshole. He knows as sure as he's reading this right now that I think he's a giant sphincter." How has the world existed to this point without previously hearing from such a descendent of Shakespeare?

Sounds like a little jealously, since one of his posts has more comments than all of yours combined. That, and he's not the only sports player who has an opinion--he's just one of few whose publicist doesn't force him to keep them to himself.
