Once again, it’s time for my favorite pet peeve – the lily-livered limp-wristed pussy who speake the truth on a controversial topic one day, only to apologize for it & take it back the next.

Today’s contestant:&#160 Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.

I’d actually had a fairly healthy respect for the man, especially after the 2005 season when he gutted out an injured & bloody ankle in the League Championship Series against the Damn Yankees&#153.&#160 And even though he regularly embarasses the Texass stRangers (then again, who doesn’t nowadays?), he’d never done anything to piss me off.

Until now.

Item:&#160 Schilling ripped steroid home-run king Barry Bonds yesterday during a radio interview:

“I mean, he admitted that he used steroids,” Schilling said during his weekly appearance on sports radio WEEI’s “Dennis and Callahan” show. “I mean, there’s no gray area. He admitted to cheating on his wife, cheating on his taxes, and cheating on the game, so I think the reaction around the league, the game, being what it is, in the case of what people think. Hank Aaron not being there. The commissioner [Bud Selig] trying to figure out where to be. It’s sad.

“And I don’t care that he’s black, or green, or purple, or yellow, or whatever. It’s unfortunate … there’s good people and bad people. It’s unfortunate that it’s happening the way it’s happening.”

So what heppened today?&#160 Al Sharpton & the Rrrrrrrrrrrrevrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn’d Jaaaack’s’nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn must’ve gotten to him, because he backed off effin’ big-time today:

“Everyone has days and events in life they’d love to push the rewind button on, yesterday was one of those days,” Schilling wrote on his Web site, 38pitches.com. “Regardless of my opinions, thoughts and beliefs on anything Barry Bonds it was absolutely irresponsible and wrong to say what I did. I don’t think it’s within anyone’s right to say the things I said yesterday and affect other peoples [sic] lives in that way.

“… As someone who’s made it very clear I have major issues with members of the media that take little or no pride in their work it’s the height of hypocrisy for me to say what I did, in any forum,” he wrote. “I started this blog to give people a look into the life we live on and off the field, not to get into back and forths with people I don’t like or have issues with. Doing that will only make this a rant filled no content bunch of words.

“… It was a callous, wreckless [sic] and irresponsible thing to say, and for that I apologize to Barry, Barry’s family, Barry’s friends and the Giants organization, my teammates and the Red Sox organization as well as anyone else that may have been offended by the comments I made,” he wrote.

No, Curtie, ol’ fellow, it was the fucking truth,&#160 and had you stuck by your guns, you’d have gained a helluva lot more fans than you lost today.

But then, Barry’s black, and you’re white, and, well…you just can’t say things about a black man when you’re white.&#160 Cardinal sin, y’know.&#160 Never mind that what you said was 100% absolutely true – MLB’s trying to reach out to the black community, y’see, and they just can’t have an ambassador of theirs speaking the truth about one of the black community’s icons.&#160 Isn’t politically correct, y’know.

ESAD, Schilling.&#160 Y’just lost me.

F.E.J.F.E.&#160&#160
