Worst Blog Post Ever? (No, not this one. Asshole.)

I probably should have known that reading Curt Schilling's blog would be a bad idea. It was. What an idiot.
I'll keep the summary short; Schilling wrote a blog post a few days ago on his observations of Game 2 of the NBA finals, and ripped into Kobe Bryant for being a bad teammate. Kobe responded by saying "Go Yankees!", and now there's a whole hullabaloo. (Quick note: I feel bad for the NBA. What could have been the best playoffs in a long time simply degraded in to a few boring months dominated by home teams and fake rivalries. Basically, Chris Paul needs to make the Finals in 2009.)
Anyways, before he offered the public his unparalleled knowledge of basketball, Schilling spoke about the recent spat between Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis. Here's what he had to say:

Manny vs. Youk, round 1. Trust me, this was a TOTAL non-issue and an event that happens far far more than you ever see or hear about. Many times, most times, events like this play out in clubhouses and no one outside the team ever knows about it. Bottom line is that 99 times out of 100 these are never personal, just like this one...It happens, punches might get thrown, and it ends, and we move on.

Guru Schilling then provides his analysis of Kobe's leadership skills:

Kobe. This one stunned me a little bit. Who doesn’t know Kobe Bryant right? I only know what I have heard, starting awhile back with the entire Shaq debacle... From the first tip until about 4 minutes left in the game I saw and heard this guy bitch at his teammates. Every TO he came to the bench pissed, and a few of them he went to other guys and yelled about something they weren’t doing, or something they did wrong. No dialog about “hey let’s go, let’s get after it” or whatever. Let me reiterate that this is from a complete basketball newbie, so for all I know this could be exactly how these guys play this game and interact with each other.

Apparently Schilling is also a complete "compiling-an-effective-argument newbie" . These two quotes are so completely contradictory I'm not even sure what to say. I just can't believe it took someone who doesn't know anything about basketball to figure out the reason the Lakers swept the Nuggets, beat the Jazz in 6, and the Spurs in 5 was because they had terrible chemistry. Duh!

This whole post is made even better by the fact that Schilling himself is supposed to be a huge dick. God damnit.

Out like me ever reading Curt Schilling's blog again.
