After verbally dropping dime on Curt Schilling for nearly eight minutes on a recent edition of his SiriusXM “Mad Dog Radio” show, Stephen A. Smith challenged his former ESPN colleague.
“You (Schilling) want to sit here and have a debate about what really went on?” an indignant SAS asked. “Name the time and place and I’ll show up, with the permission of ESPN — of course. I guess listening to my boss makes me a bad guy. Well guess what? I’d rather be bad than stupid.”
Last month, ESPN fired Schilling when he shared his take, found offensive by some, on transgender issues. ESPN concluded after a series of controversial remarks from him, Schilling was not willing to edit himself when he commented on social and political issues, write Bob Raissman at the NYDaily News.
In the wake of his dismissal, Schilling has been casting aspersions on ESPN and some of its talent, including Smith, for comments he considers racist. He says ESPN is a House of Hate. Schilling accused Smith — twice — of saying Robert Griffin lost his job as Washington QB because he is black.
Smith, on SXM, said Schilling is lying.
“What I was lamenting was the treatment of Jay Gruden and how specific he was in dissecting Robert Griffin III, compared to how celebratory he was about Kirk Cousins,” Smith said. “At no time did I imply or state that is why RGIII wasn’t playing because he is black. That is a lie.”
