It is the rare occasion and I mean very rare occasion. That we on this -- Somehow find a way to connect sports and politics but Curt Schilling Curt Schilling did that forest today when during a soft. When he talked with this with Gerry Callahan Obama -- And while he did not this.

Everytime I never -- so I don't ever. I'm like it's almost like James or something and Allen Iverson thing so it meant never get.

All while he did not declare his candidacy he certainly sounded like a guy who was pretty seriously. Considering Iran. For. Senator Kennedy seat now interestingly enough there's some questions about. Eligibility. And and how -- water were not be able to run. The Boston Globe website boston.com. Has a a short -- records -- these liberals. Evidently a guy named Josh. Crowd shower and fight this pronouncement I apologize at politico. Says that Kirk doesn't have via the proper amount of time to register as a Republican candidate this is what he wrote a politico. Massachusetts election law requires that anyone seeking a party nomination. To be enrolled with the party for at least ninety days before the November 3 deadline for filing nomination papers. That doesn't give -- enough time to run as a Republican. Only as an independent candidate for office.

Thank you -- this very interest thing what you at this very violent burial last it says paragraph in there I think what everybody if you listen to any donuts and anything else they. Please listen to this and get your facts straight with that last cent.

Down here yet this one -- Massachusetts hasn't had a Republican senator since Edward Brooke. Who held the position from 1967 to 79. It sure doesn't seem like Schilling will break that -- okay so there was a Republican senator in Massachusetts for twelve years. And it happened thirty years ago thirty years in which is why I said I don't believe her killing can win but it.

He absolutely can it can be done in this state with the right candidate out. Thank you very much -- not only that there's there I'm sure there are skeptics who looked at and said well he's black he was the first black senator from Massachusetts. African American and a Republican. In Massachusetts. As an outsider you look at that you say yes to strike -- conceivable that not -- right but it happened now I'm up to you guys are here. I'm not yet thank Michael for those of you may think our economic it's Curt Schilling. Being a senator. I'm just gonna show you -- a breakdown every organization and tell you who the Senate candidates are. From every organization in Boston sports. I missed the Bruins got too obvious. -- don't have a whole lot of possible he shortly as the battle went Canadians in their -- Cam -- and report Cam -- in great work eligible unfortunately both the Kennedy both Canadian citizens not the one problem the Jason -- McCain well they have green cards I don't believe -- American citizens so unfortunately. But -- they are. They -- senatorial mr. -- I ineligible to run but but of the proper Tim and the and the and the godfather would be -- York. Again unfortunately a run and this -- break it down the type guy for now entertaining lines for the Celtics. Would be Kevin Garnett but. And I don't know let's. Play. Did you mention I mean. At -- electric -- it would be -- a quick thing.

that the book love. --

Nomination and -- nomination party right there. But that would be entertaining but right now senator.

I challenge you I could eat and and as a great interest in politics attended the inauguration with up steep value cut. -- wonderful speak at a few guys. Danny Ainge Doc Rivers. Got some guys I don't know I don't know what their political interest Sar Ray Allen seems to have real interest. He'd be great candidate and I mean not candidate necessarily but a guy who from that organization might have that interest.

the patriots. They got you guys former and current patriots who -- number one -- mind. The guy we see all the time every -- press conference right around 10451050. Built -- check.

Yeah he'd be yet charming -- actually bid crime rate would be a great politics so he -- be an awful poly -- fed to act as they would gateway big -- you don't need to know what he lets they would outsmarting every I think it was a brilliant and get stuff done. Tom Brady -- played a game. Tom Brady I don't break it could probably in fact I wouldn't be a bit surprised he does run for political office found Tedy Bruschi. I don't know what is interest are I don't know these.

Great Ted Teddy was in me before he. I mean before a -- long before it retired was he was doing these things. Went to Beacon Hill. And got millions of dollars for stroke awareness yeah. I mean he is not he can stump and as we know from his retirement speech he's pretty -- and talk yet it's edit together yeah. So that's and I'm thinking. Rodney Harrison speaker candidates can be awful -- it is.

There is no sugarcoat it -- I thought that's not electable quality in this country unfortunately. Prevalent so tailored -- I don't cut -- the it's because he's so pretty well think quick break right back to call the -- Sports Radio W the things that you -- in Moscow and other guys.
