Life Curt Schilling destroys Twitter trolls attacking his daughter - Page 7

**Bufkin** · 03-02-2015, 12:43 PM

Remind me to never, ever, ever, ever troll Curt Schilling.
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-bi...QyXzEEc2VjA3Nj
Here's the essay he wrote
https://38pitches.wordpress.com/2015...as-it-changed/

People have called ex-MLB star Curt Schilling a number of things — and they're not always good. But it's hard to deny his tenacity, whether on the mound or in one of the Twitter feuds he often finds himself in.

Sometimes Schilling gets himself in trouble by never backing down, even from the trolliest of trolls. In his most recent Twitter fight, though, Schilling dealt a KO to the out-of-line bros who'd been harassing him about his 17-year-old daughter.

It all started last week when Schilling congratulated his daughter, Gabby, for getting accepted into college and starting a softball career. A dad proud of his daughter ... that's benign enough, right? Well, no. Not in the say-anything-and-apologize-later world of 2015 social media.

What followed was a number of sexually suggestive tweets about Gabby fired off to her dad, some of them even implying rape and other horrible things. (You can see some of the Twitter taunts here, most of it isn't fit to post on The Stew). Schilling's blood boiled, as any father's would, and he jumped in the flame war, ignoring rule No. 1 of the Internet: Don't feed the trolls.

By Sunday, not only had Schilling fed the trolls, but he'd killed them, cooked them and eaten them. He penned a 1,700-word essay about the entire thing titled, "The world we live in…Man has it changed." He teased it on Twitter by saying "There are repercussions to your actions in the real world."

Then, his essay proceeded to balance out-for-blood dad with former pro athlete who knows just how crude guys can be. He called out two Twitter trolls in particular, saying exactly who they were in real life. Both have since deleted their Twitter accounts, the modern-day waving of the white flag. Schilling wrote:

[T]weets with the word rape, bloody underwear and pretty much every other vulgar and defiling word you could likely fathom began to follow. Now let me emphasize again. I was a jock my whole life. I played sports my whole life. Baseball since I was 5 until I retired at 41. I know clubhouses. I lived in a dorm. I get it. Guys will be guys. Guys will say dumb crap, often. But I can’t ever remember, drunk, in a clubhouse, with best friends, with anyone, ever speaking like this to someone…
“The Sports Guru”? Ya he’s a DJ named Adam Nagel (DJ is a bit strong since he’s on the air for 1 hour a week) on Brookdale Student Radio at Brookdale Community College. How do you think that place feels about this stud representing their school? You don’t think this isn’t going to be a nice compilation that will show up every single time this idiot is googled the rest of his life? What happens when a potential woman he’s after googles and reads this?
The other clown? He’s VP of the Theta Xi fraternity at Montclair State University. I gotta believe if Theta Xi is cool with a VP of one of their chapters acting like this I’d prefer to have no one I know in it. Also, does anyone attending Montclair State University have a student handbook? If so can you pass it along because I am pretty sure there are about 90 violations in this idiots tweets.
Schilling's essay continued, obviously, at great lengths, even calling out further trolls who challenged him after he published the piece Sunday. You could make the case that Schilling — who works as an analyst for ESPN and recently beat cancer — should just ignore the 140-character miscreants and you wouldn't be altogether wrong. The celebrity in a flame war very often has little to gain, even if he or she dominates like Schilling did here.

As Schilling will most likely tell you right now, this wasn't about him as a celebrity, a baseball player or a cable analyst. This was just a dad defending the honor of his daughter and taking the no-holds-barred approach.

With this mock, I'm going with the mention of four compensatory picks - one in the third and three in the fifth.

As such, here's the new mock (2/28/15):

1. Arik Armstead, DL; Oregon: 6'7", 297 lb.
- John Dorsey - 1, Sac - 0. Armstead is a Dee Ford selection. I think that the Chiefs are going to be sitting in no-man's land with the #18 pick with no one that truly fits their system on either side of the ball that all of the pundits think is rated highly. However, Armstead checks all the boxes in terms of what has come to be the Dorsey-Decision Lens matrix. Huge and athletic with untapped potential, Armstead has all the earmarks of a modern day 34 DE. Already very stout against the run, he has a huge ceiling in terms of being a pass rush force as well.

2. Jake Fisher, OT; Oregon: 6’6”, 306 lbs.
- Back to back ducks for the Chiefs. Fisher is a very solid, experienced (four year starter - 3 at RT, 1 at LT) offensive tackle that displayed very good strength in the run game and opened eyes with a very solid Combine showing more athleticism than was previously thought. Looks to be a prototype for the new RT in the NFL where he is capable of functioning against high level pass rushers as well as drive blocking in the run game. Good hands, quick out of his stance and seems to really enjoying locking onto a defender and punishing him. Nasty attitude on the field. Plays very hard.

3. Cody Prewitt, S; Ole Miss: 6'2", 208 lbs.
- Prewitt has excelled in the single high safety role for the Rebels over the course of his college career, earning numerous All-American and All-Conference honors. Incredibly long and rangy, he has superb instincts. Closes on the ball with authority in both run and pass defense. Extremely good at reading a QB's eyes and movements and diagnosing the play before it happens. Would fit extremely well in Sutton's defense.

3. John Miller, OL; Louisville: 6'3", 303 lb.

- Second team All-Conference in 2013, Miller is a wide, fundamentally sound OL player. He was the best player on the field at the Shrine game and was simply a man amongst boys. He's a big dude with power and when he locks onto a guy, it's over. I absolutely love Miller as a potential high level NFL guard. Four year starter, three at LG.

4. Eric Rowe, CB; Utah: 6'1", 205 lb.
Two year, PAC 12 All-Conference starter at free safety, First Team Freshman All-American, he moved over to the CB position in 2014. Plays long and fast. Is well versed in man coverage in Utah's pro style defense. A lot of upside as well as having the capability of contributing right out of the gate. Had a terrific combine and was a "top-performer" in every drill/test. Is exactly what Sutton wants in a press corner.

5. Tre McBride, WR; William & Mary: 6'0", 210 lbs.
- One of the best at the Shrine game, McBride showcased very good field recognition and hands. Big body and smooth. Good routes. Had a great Combine running a 4.41 and a 38" vertical. Originally recruited to Harvard based on his academics. Measured shorter than expected and a deep WR class pushes him down into the mid-rounds.

At Northwest Missouri State, I'd say half of my freshman class was on ISCA. It was a native command on our campus Unix mainframe system. I remember that the college advertised that they had PCs in every room. Yeah, dumb terminals. And then right when I transferred to a different school, they put PCs in the rooms.

There a lot of hot pussy there at NWMS? I'm always in the mood to munch on some rug.

Schillings is still on the warpath. Saw a follow up story today. A bunch of people expelled/fired now. He says he knows the names and identities of every one who took shots and is pursuing legal action which it sounds like he can do because she is 17. Which of course perpetuates the story and makes it blow up even more. Curt Schillings is the destroyer of worlds.

The actions of a guy with a fat cock.

I'm definitely on Schilling's side for this one.

If he doesn't fight his daughter's "battles" who will?

Katipan · 03-03-2015, 03:38 PM

The only thing that pisses me off is all the clips of the hero Curt Schilling winning a World Series with a bloody foot.

WTF happened in 2001, huh? Just because the Dbacks mortgaged their entire futures for the next 20 years doesn't mean they weren't the youngest team ever to win a World Series.

BECAUSE OF CURT SCHILLING.

this is the USA< the dramatics will always triumpf over the youngest ever! I remember when Curt used to post on the old Fires of Heaven forums and he talked a little bit about that. It was pretty cool. He said after that he had to be in a wheel chair for like 5 min because his ankle was so screwed up.

Then you'd meet at Dennys to talk about Star Trek or Trade Wars strategies and plan your watch party for the premier of X-files Season 1.

You have no idea how aroused those words you typed made me.

local BBS hosts?

Telnet?

TRADE WARS?!?!?!

I could almost leave my wife for you.
