Curt Schilling Makes Strange Bedfellows, Kobe Bryant A Yankee Fan

Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has become quite the persona non grata in Los Angeles. After being called “gutless” by the LA Times‘ TJ Simers for questioning Kobe Bryant’s leadership skills, it was Bryant’s turn to address the issue, and he dressed it the best way you could against Schilling–in pinstripes.

“You’re asking for my response to it?” said Bryant. “Go, Yankees.”

Then Bryant defended his leadership and added, “I know my team. After the time of all those beeps, we almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in history. It seemed to motivate them pretty well.

“We all have thick skin around here on the team. We’re brutally honest with each other. Our team is built for that. We all love it.”

Yeah, something tells us that thick skin is a little softer today after last night. We don’t think Kobe’s main issue right now is leadership, but wondering where the hell his shot went.
