Merry Christmas to the 96,700 morons who follow former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling on Twitter — the arrestingly hypocritical blowhard celebrated the holiday by spewing a slew of irrational thoughts from his bigger-than-he-thinks-people-notice head.
In the past 72 hours, Schilling has attacked President Barack Obama, Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and, in a hilarious twist of irony, the American media.
Since that last little entity is what currently employs Schilling, who's eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time this year, let's start there.
"Most corrupt media on earth #AmericaInFiveWords," Schilling tweeted Saturday, Dec. 27.
Schilling has worked as a baseball analyst for ESPN, the single most rich and powerful sports media company in the world, since 2010, according to the company's website.
Who was it again who hyped Schilling's "bloody sock" performance in the 2004 American League Championship Series so hard that it so rapidly cemented into baseball immortality that it basically overshadowed an injury-plagued career mired by regular-season mediocrity? Yeah, that was the media, too.
And who controls whether Schilling's ultimately enshrined in baseball's Hall of Fame, an honor he has adamantly admitted he believes he deserves? That's right, the oh-so-corrupt media once again. The bad guys. His bad guys, of course.
Schilling then offered Manziel advice on what it takes to be a hard worker and what it means to be great. The words sound good, Johnny. But always consider the source.
Schilling tweeted, "@JManziel2 Didn't ask for it, but I'll throw it out there. If being the best doesn't consume your every waking thought, do something else," according to Yahoo! Sports.
Schilling then went all passive-aggresive mode with a subtweet knocking Obama on his handling of the North Korea/The Interview movie situation.
"Ronald Reagan would have screened "The Interview" in the White House," he tweeted.
Remember: This from a man who once went on an unprovoked Twitter rampage advocating the rock-solid evidence that exists against the theory of evolution.
Pun intended.
