ESPN fires Curt Schilling

Deadspin...so sad since Gawker bought them.   

Has Gawker not always owned them?

The most notable phrase in that entire series or playoffs, for that matter, is "bloody sock".  It was a total douche move on their part.   

It was the defining moment.  The Boston Globe called it "the SIGNATURE MOMENT"

I would argue the defining moment was the Dave Roberts steal. I also think that for as great a visual/moment/phrase the bloody sock was, it's till just one component of one game of one round.

Regardless, getting upset about the choice they made when editing a years-old documentary one time for time constraints on a Sunday afternoon sets a very low bar for what is considered upsetting. You have points about the Schilling situation (I disagree with them, but I get it), but this just seems so irrelevant.

Well, it comes across as incredibly petty by ESPN, and a lot of folks in Boston weren't happy for obvious reasons.  Some were.
