Go Red Sox!
You don't have to be a Red Sox fan to appreciate this:
"Curt Schilling is the star pitcher for the Red Sox. Dan Shaughnessy is the star reporter of the Boston Globe who is uniformly loathed by Boston baseball fans for his laziness, negativity and relentless insistence on being the turd in every punchbowl.
"One more thing you have to know about Shaughnessy regards his appearance. The mop of red hair that tops his head makes him look like a discolored Chia pet. Former psychotic Sox outfielder Carl Everett gave Shaughnessy the nickname 'Curly Haired Boyfriend.' The name stuck, even if Everett didn’t.
"Schilling has started a blog which is actually quite good. Shaughnessy devoted an entire column to mocking said blog. Schilling responded:
"'The only response I have to the Curly Haired Boyfriend is this.
“'First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you, then you win.
"'Putting his inherent toolness on display for all the world to see did far more than I could ever hope to do by trying to explain what a dope he is.'"
