Curt Schilling

Talking about to occur it's pitch one of our co -- now here on the -- the punches from both done done. Mr. showing joins fellow -- aria.

Are you Dillon could create -- an actual job I turn are you by the good probably know I'm very well current -- good -- That stupid -- They gave -- most -- it's started you know it I'm not an ideal but it is franchise -- ownership felt the winners that I -- I'll go to a Doctor Who steals. We had to do. What happened and I did talk -- way I'm in Arizona current current and Arizona but I can't reverse the.

I haters I really like a great respect for the for the organism I don't want to -- and I -- I know you've got to give them credit due to family out running go to my biggest had a terrific organization and they have done of a phenomenal job of drafting and being able to replace guys who have gone elsewhere for free agency I I think there is good and organizations and --

Well you know what I did good the beauty of always having about -- is still cannon -- that was born and raised in some typically did so it's always been something -- and in my -- good. The premier event I've been a lifelong fan and they've always been pretty good pretty competitive. And that's what I don't want to the reporters every year there's a legitimate chance to win. Another day you know it's one of those things that I think we're starting this week. Much to the chagrin of the rest of the world there's a New York. The gossip that all the teams -- and MLB -- chance to win than them wrestle it to support it.

I also that showed it in this game it's such a stark contrast of of styles. Then again usually the defensive team in these situations wins. I think this one that that the Steelers in the way they play defensively. We're talking -- Ray Lewis about this earlier. How many guys can you commit to that bullets. When you've got a set of receivers like the Arizona Cardinals Jeff you've got to be careful I mean you can't just have Polamalu just going. You know.

I don't know I'm I'm not really sure I don't really terribly -- to go to to the blitz it's it's one thing to allocate them to the blitz of doping -- you'll pick it up and and and defeated. An end you know the big thing for me is if if if the Cardinals hardly contain those two linebackers. And I think they're going to have trouble doing that then it is it's got a chance did overcame I do think it's going to be a better -- the people.

Importantly in Harrison didn't do it themselves without bringing a lot of the team that's and everything that is -- I -- yes I agree would occur at the games over just. I don't think they go to Ron Cardinals are going to run I know people a lot of they were Zambrano like for Hampton those and then going to run against those.

No he decided it is similar -- you know -- but speedily and indefensible over the course they've they've got to really stick -- so I would imagine going to -- immediate stuff you don't have to see some different unique stuff if there at that offense is -- game plan to beat this deal.

Let me ask about the latest on -- on Varitek you've seen the stories there -- out there. What is in essence a five. Million dollar year one year to either player option at three million team option at five million. It doesn't really give them a lot of upside if he goes out and has a phenomenal year this year. I almost get the feeling that he's kind of cornered in all of this and this is not a great deal for him because he doesn't get that upset because as. -- 270 to eighty season. -- that upside.

And again I can't keep you need to temper the that they the comment in the sense that. It's not lot of upside if you don't consider a million dollar lot of money. And then I'd say that -- kind of jokingly but I I guarantee that but. That's part of our talk traditional -- for part about this in the end. You know I think there's probably need some discussion going on around a parameters of the deal since I was -- table. -- and all the rest. -- I think you're gonna end up with a deal that that nets Jason. -- ten million over two years somehow guaranteed her her tight -- some incentives. Laden the key to -- are already I think he might in the taken a one year deal I'm I'm not positive I think but it. -- I think it's going to be Jason Varitek hitting for the Boston Red Sox which it is really only care.

What you probably are exactly right I mean if didn't get the ten million over the two years that clearly makes a lot more sense.

Fabric fires and they -- makes a lot of sense in the U you've got to -- you know no I don't did you know how much Jason they just got. But I would be probably on base six of having no agent after the and they. Bill but again he's been petition for a long time through a lot of stuff and and there are a lot of taken -- this this cannot be the case support we also hate this guy is discussing what evil horrible person. And he talked we outscored the world who swear by them. And we obviously don't paid a lot for quite considered -- when you don't -- agent period it was always very different person of people perceive them to be.

But you know I turn I totally agree but I think that you I -- your sather about this is that when you have a -- He should be working for you let the other way around and sometimes the players get confused. I know. They.

Third I take -- that the perception of the relationship gets confused. I I hate I think that there are some things that happen. That people perceive -- was no way the player would do that if he had his own the team -- decision -- that sometimes there's just not true.

Well I I have my agent onetime tell me that the you know Kevin Youkilis make the million dollar to -- the top you know 100000 dollars -- I -- McNamee -- W hobby playing. How much sure about where you itself again it is seems like there are times as a as a player I remember you know my agent talk the me is that file was a key hit. Is -- all the players we used to be a little bit older I think you have to take more command a career -- agreed to Alou.

Absolutely and it totally became a situation most -- I talk too much. But I can handle talking too much in the public -- different things that I say I am not going to get called on the carpet for something my agents value yeah and the fact of the matter is no matter what -- who you are in the world. When your agent talks offense don't give your agent talking they hear you talk to end and I can I can -- encyclopedia of stupid. Asinine quotes out from agents around the world. Every single day. We want what's fair what's -- there's about the people look good job that they wouldn't what's there. You know they'd it's -- talk at that they're not in touch with the reality a lot of times romantic comedy they've taken offense sand. And then tennis since the players and the fans along the -- the talk for them.

You actually see you talk too much and the I know took time Lilly I have yeah I've got to try decided to hold -- problem and Slovenia at the medications work pretty well I.

Were you shocked. Since seen the quotes from Joe Torre out of this new book.

Well. The first thing cause a lot of the -- we saw one Joe Torre's quotes. There were a lot of -- I mean listen. The other is that -- is on paper a couple years back saying they would all the names on the book you don't stand by it and he's now finds himself in a position for the exact same thing. You know like yeah I was so I want this. Because I think -- anonymous he kind of -- little anyway. But -- hear him say -- was score or deal him convey it was somewhat stunning.

And that's what shocked me -- none of it the stuff itself to mature your body fraud and everything else. None of that was surprising deflected Joe Torre. Who has as you said. Has conducted himself in such a different -- his players stays NL's. He's not a baseball now is on the rich is what another team right now for him -- by the way you gotta love this one. According to news day today the New York Yankees. Are -- deliberating whether to include. A clause in the contract of future pay our players and managers should they decide later to write about -- experience in pinch.

I don't want to give up though they carry a team like it never played there these that is guaranteed you could do you could not just someday someday right now it looks like I'm sort everybody here. -- haven't thought about hopefully we're in trouble. But I don't. You know. I've gotten a lot of by the way the when you play another way to get things -- way to get any calls from from guys who -- you welcome current what you lower yourself to.

I don't know I'd also not because there's obviously you know it and I guarantee America that doesn't just play along about wanting to become obviously clear is when you awkwardly no matter how -- play -- really only have a handful of friends. You only have so much time in the day you have a wife and kids in the family yeah I only have disputed. Field I would send people I would call true true -- you can -- that would take up the political field and end I didn't I think given that knows me knows I'm not going to come on would you guys at any point eight -- and be little last week for the sake of being a radio guys the media that's not what I do not and never will be.

what you know what I love about you know here -- is that you you speak from your heart. And as a yes Napoli sometimes he gets us in trouble because we we say things like that but if you honestly believe it and you convictions that they here. -- and I think this is no brother. Person to speak about a sport if you truly believe in no --

For me it's always -- and I don't mean that too well you're still in some ways sound very comparable to -- I am. I know I have a lot of fault -- make a lot of mistakes are not a mean person I'm not a malicious person I believe what I believe -- I'd love to -- baseball since I was four years old on the on the matter pitching and going to catchers are -- sort of thing but it's ever play the game what I am I am not -- that's -- I feel like. The other stuff is just who I am and I'm it's my opinion and if you don't agree with you don't -- be okay with that I noticed sleep at night because I'm not out the hard to harm somebody to be hurtful to other people come up to talk about the things I love and have a.

Or should I do -- my fill here all you see my ex wife the end of the carpet outside guy is somebody who who has me the militia. And.

I thought I was like you lot of trouble again.

The one that you could you let me get back in the kitchen making direct.

Oh -- love. Because that was good now those those third and.

That's always and that's what --

And by the way for people who don't know that's not his access -- all out of have you seen the -- the latest on the on the bonds stuff defense like we pledged --

today -- get stolen easily justify. Its I don't nobody in Philadelphia. -- well that's well but it sounds to me and I'm assuming there's someone I know growing up in -- family. Most -- people who served in in of the not just our forces there law enforcement -- them of course this is hardly pushing it they're very comfortable. With the body of evidence they're going to bring good table. And you continue to sit back and go you know what do you cannot just come late. And I think we're past supportive of the unilateral tenement. And I feel I can't go back to those factors that decide testament that the greatest pitcher of our generation. And the great -- our generation are going to go down there's there's potentially his chief.

You know what though it could be. In the make up then you just described them I think correctly. It could be that what makes them so great is what is preventing them right now from taking the shield off and saying I believe.

Oh -- that's adolescent I produced the greatest players ever played with -- the most insecure guy there over Matt. I mean it's unbelievable to me I look at guys would always counted policy into our players and think. Life needs to be a whole lot easier -- you're making it. You're the greatest in the world what you do you should be having a blast but it's part of what extent there. That insecurity that pushes down to that next level that some people don't have don't get.

And you do say that trip but did you think about Kareem Abdul Jabbar. In the old guy who woods has a lot of insecurities and who should be doing something in the NBA right now but because of the insecurities and pushing people away. The guys want to touch him so I. I think I can stay diligent in push me below what he wrote a book that you wrote a book -- I got pictures will.

You know I don't I don't that the the -- the great player that I played with there was a completely comfortable themselves and and was great because they pushed himself serviceable work ethic that's a rare breed for -- Go to cal Ripken the Larry Bird type guy. Both are guys I don't know very very well but calendar very comfortable I mean he was motivated and obviously was brought up differently but I never got an ounce of insecurity from from calendar we wasn't what he felt he wants --

resume extremely insecure max was not secure with -- morale and how well Helmer -- just -- door Jo -- thing and I won't put words in -- mouth but is it is neat kind of describing Alex Rodriguez I mean who as a as a superstar who could be less secure than.

And that he's come out himself more increased study done in a very clear that he's missed again and again that's not a bad thing. But that's why it's human nature that's part of what -- to some degree some people are insecure to the point of it being a -- changing character -- other people are just insecure because that we're human.

But you know somebody as great a player is he is any time there is a specific play in which you need your great athlete. To to rise to raise his game to the next level he always screws up something --

That is absolutely and I got a full identifiable thing in the sense that some guys are insecure to a point where they have a fear of failure that paralyzes them. And I played with guys like that work I I -- I've always then in my mind my dad. The mentality -- girl but was give me the ball in the ninth inning with the biggest needs to be made because that's where I can do something no one else can do and a lot of people who like. Do not hit the ball to me please I don't want to screw up and -- forever.

Another game is -- it so you do you do you treat them as if they get their big moment.

I didn't they are because that I'm -- to motivate her for me I mean I -- look at the post season. I played some guys who look at the October policies and as a way to screw up everything they've ever done I had a phenomenal year I'm on the best in the game. If I don't do well on October to eliminate my entire season and I'm like wait a minute. To direct opposite the the post season that does three week period to make a mark for yourself for ever. No matter who you are what you dark.

heard a lot of athletes say that in those moments what they do is they treated. Like any other game and it slows every.

last night and the -- I mean. I suspect Belichick did did -- not like communicate -- you. Yeah anything -- big success and you know what some of those guys saying that because they -- if they tell you all I was really nervous it makes it it's -- if they tell you I was nervous I was I was tense but it that might make them less of a competitor a bit -- You couldn't bullpen out of my ass with a tractor. On the day out pitch in the post season game but that was that was a motor -- from me.

And I think that was also before the first pitch. As it's amazing how everything changes which you the ball bounces the first time of first pitch. It is like the yet that you're so it hits -- that that that day all day you know lack animal this big cage and that first pitch after that first can't get that first bunch. Now becomes a a game -- get up but during -- of of before it happens are you there are guys like they have more apparent last with the.

Gap and that and that answer Truby erupted at first -- Camilo is okay game plan and execute fastball away want to go to slider you know that -- that's stuff just started to flow.

I what do you do next week the the -- going to the truck brother's going to take off the week after that. Pitchers and catchers report. This going to affect you emotionally.

No not at all I might go to their way to do it -- had -- I'm not I'm I am I'm absolutely perfectly content to I'm working out like this city got no more than up to see. How I feel -- three of four or five weeks it did I come to a conclusion this is not gonna work then deny you have not -- regret in the world about what I've been able to experience.

You -- that short of a sampling period you -- you know that quickly.

Is it easier for you and you've got this video game business or you've got something else that you're very interested in the you can sit there and say okay my life Luzon should know they're a lot of guy get to the end of their career. They got nothing to fall back.

I think it's easier for me because I've not been a part of my wife and my kids -- so much that I and that's how much I'm having fun doing that. That's that's a bigger picture may decide I love up I contrary to what some idea I -- like. Get up and take my kids at school I'd love being around -- the Cubs got maybe we're the plywood don't realize we can't buy some I don't the pilot to retard. From a -- that.

Did you did you find it within regulations because if you do.

They won't like it did the rules and -- I was okay performance against it's always -- The car was. All horrible. Little. But it performed horribly. I don't generally get next time we'll find some credit NASCAR held earlier dynamics of the vehicle let's forget it relates back is still the way it went slugger.

No one day I was used to drive me crazy because you couldn't it was hard get the -- down the regulation and I don't ask her -- when there's.

This in this is the one thing that I eventually. I think what did they missed and and will find out where you read on them in the year over how do you decide this but. My biggest thing was. The teammates in the relationships I've built would they have some that you never can give back again they gifts that is gone. You plan -- guys that this is your buddy there Michael to have dinner with him at all the things you have together that is what actually you won't miss more.

allowed -- I would I would tell you that's what they have always -- about -- almost heard about that but I would argue that. -- this scenario with which I spent my life during the game under what's so bad. And so different than what used to being an I was so disappointed in Seoul. Disinterested in being around the environment with a hole many -- the first half of the year with the team every day of the season. For the first half of last year. Every morning and then after rehabbing I was in that environment it was such a bad place. That. But it left me with a taste in my mouth and I'm not really excited about getting back into.

While. The interest. By bud we're raising some money today for a rent for Kurtz a pitch for a 4100. Is our -- we still have half an hour to go 617.

I don't know where in the personalize signed. World Series Jersey. Love the lucky winner you can do about 5000.

There we go will dependable 5000 there's no question about that. My current we'll talk do you still.

Distill his Jersey by go to -- the going to wind up now what don't what Jersey will you be aware of the Super Bowl -- knowing I'm from.

all we either win a job might. Almost Jersey. Or white throwback troubles burger now when you do.

Polamalu do you use the -- as well. Not after a high shot. I don't let natural child Illinois are you got a long way to go that they do now that Lin wood would look good to get to hear him in the back habitat really Guatemala Jersey without they are don't think words I'm gonna get that was MVP Carrick. And I've -- Polamalu and I'll hit I tell you what batsman was I think as formal -- going to do.
