" 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."
