See, I can't fault him for giving his opinion, simply because someone asked him the question.
Hero, the difference typically between athletes and actors is Actors release statements to give their opinions (See: Sean Penn) where an athlete 99% of the time is responding to question.
So, Miz, if no one cares, why do people ask? Why does ESPN/Fox/CNNSI etc, run these things nationally?

Its not something to get offended about, you don't have to deny that you have a bias towards your hometown players. A lot of people attack Randy Moss, but I always defend him, its the same thing.

1) That was the point you jumped in. Hence that's why it seemed like that's what you were saying.
2) I'm not offended, you're just 100% wrong, this has NOTHING to do with it being schilling for me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if it had been Curt, Randy Johnson, or anyone I would be ok with it. Also since a player doesn't say something like that unless someone asks their opinion.
Heck, I even felt Randy Johnson was ok telling those reporters he didn't want to be photo graphed, however the way he did it was really stupid.
So BCWWF, my "defense of schilling" has very little to do with Schilling or being a "homer" has more to do with players answering questions and "Ralphie" being a scum bag.
