I don’t like it when the Cubs are the national game on ESPN. A recent change at the Four-Letter, however, has made watching their baseball coverage infinitely more bearable. By now I’m sure you’ve heard of the bit of idiocy that cost uber-conservative broadcaster Curt Schilling his job on a temporary basis. I honestly don’t care about an announcer’s politics, but when he decides to spread hateful messages in a public forum, it’s kind of hard to avoid.
Truth be told, I was somewhat pleased to see Schilling’s misstep because it hastened the end to what I thought was an overstayed welcome in the booth.
