Bobby Valentine Was Asked About Curt Schilling, and Then Things Got Awkward
Bobby Valentine does Boston radio too. WEEI’s Dennis and Callahan, who somehow survived this with employment intact, had a rather awkward interview with Bobby Valentine. The radio hosts asked the Red Sox manager about his “consider the source” comment when asked about Curt Schilling’s critical comments. The following exchange occurred.
Yesterday we had your biggest fan, Karl Ravech, on. … He said to us that you and Curt Schilling hung out, got along great, were friendly when you were down there [at ESPN]. Why do you dismiss him and just say, “Consider the source.” Isn’t he a pretty astute baseball guy?
I think he knows a lot about baseball, and I did hang around with him a bit. I don’t think he knows anything about our team.
Is it do you think because of his affection for Terry Francona?
I have no idea. Why don’t you ask him? He’d probably be a good guest on your show.
Oh, he has been. He says he likes you, he’s a fan of yours, but he doesn’t think your style will work here. You just dismiss it as “Consider the course.” What’s wrong with the source?
You tell me.
You’re the one who said it. I don’t know. I think he’s a pretty good source.
Then it’s credible for you. It just wasn’t credible for me.
Why not?
[Long silence] Next question, thank you.
Just a reminder. It is April 12. The Red Sox have yet to play a home game. It’s going to be a long season.

At least the Red Sox didn’t just sign Johnny Damon.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:34 PM
I know it’s cool to hate the Red Sox right now, but is it me or is everyone seemingly rooting for Bobby V. to fail?
April 12th, 2012 at 12:34 PM
Bobby, go get your shinebox.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:37 PM
Schilling and Valentine both suck.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:37 PM
Oh good, 3 douchebags talking to each other.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:38 PM
I’m passionately rooting for his tan.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:38 PM
Is it possible for the team to win and the manager to fail? Because I think that would be sweet.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:39 PM
“Consider the source.”
“No YOU consider the source!”
“It’s not my source, it’s your source!!”
“Nuh uh!”
“NUH UH!!”
April 12th, 2012 at 12:39 PM

It seems to work for the Yankees.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:40 PM
What’s wrong with the source?
I did the job I…
What’s wrong with the source?
You’re Goddamn right I hate Curt Schilling!
April 12th, 2012 at 12:40 PM
Maybe- say the rest of April is horrible, then in May Bobby has an unfortunate accident when he gets into a sparring match with Wally the Green Monster, Dave Magadan takes over and leads them to the World Series.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:40 PM
Double stampy no erasies.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:41 PM
howd you get this number?
April 12th, 2012 at 12:42 PM
Didn’t he explain the “consider the source” comment in his first response?
I can’t believe I am commenting on this…
April 12th, 2012 at 12:42 PM
Sweet league.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:42 PM
Bobby V, the Ditka of football
April 12th, 2012 at 12:43 PM
Yup. In this battle of the douchebags, Dennis & Callahan reign supreme, yet again.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:43 PM
who somehow survived this:
suspended prominent radio hosts Dennis and Callahan for two weeks for comparing an escaped gorilla to a Metco student waiting for a bus.
Sorry I missed the show when they broke down the Trayvon Martin case.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:43 PM
Except Ditka rode a great defense to a title that he had little to do with
April 12th, 2012 at 12:44 PM
Of baseball
April 12th, 2012 at 12:44 PM
I guess people figure that Valentine is carrying water for Lucchino and everyone hates Lucchino?
Wait till they all figure out that Valentine is about all about Bobby Valentine.
Come to think of it, Bobby isn’t all that different from Schilling. Curt loves him some Curt Schilling.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:45 PM
mrejr…
For your entrance music…
April 12th, 2012 at 12:45 PM
he’s fallen hard since the days of the dugout disguise.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:45 PM
Hey, Philly dudes who are going to the Red Sox/Phillies on May 19th? You get to witness this!
/loves Pat the Bat
April 12th, 2012 at 12:45 PM
You know who would have been a better choice to manage the Red Sox? Terry Francona
April 12th, 2012 at 12:46 PM
Dig the beginning..perfect for an entrance
April 12th, 2012 at 12:47 PM
Bobby V went back into managing with a fake moustache after being thrown out of a game. I’ll forever root for him after that.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Just saw that on twitter.
Trying to work it out so I can go.
/parenting schedule needs to be worked out
April 12th, 2012 at 12:49 PM
This. I just imagine Pedroia walking around like a lost puppy. Francona needs to ease off the “fresh wounds” and “too soon” talk. We get it, they fucked you over… you don’t need to keep reminding everyone.
/team don’t air dirty laundry in public
April 12th, 2012 at 12:53 PM
I agree to a point, but the front office has been so disingenuous about the entire situation, I understand why he’s pissed. Like I said yesterday, they wouldn’t have been able to make nearly the money they did by cashing in on 2 World Series victories without Francona.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:56 PM
Not really. The more embarassment for the way the front office handles these things, the better. I heard even Grady Little declined to come to the 100 year thing.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:58 PM
MREJR, I got it…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg6MIuXrFf8
Slow build up, big pay off.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:59 PM
Who knows, right? Maybe they win 2 more with a different manager. Baseball is weird.
April 12th, 2012 at 12:59 PM
And for the record, I fantasized about making that my entrance music as an indy wrestler.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:00 PM
Fuck that noise. He was screwed over and she should blast them whenever he wants to.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:02 PM
Sure, maybe they could have. But they won them with him. Shoved the whole “Red Sox Nation” thing down everyone’s throats, squeezed every penny they could out of the ballpark and fans all by riding the coattails of 2004 and 2007.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:02 PM
Agree Boston fans are bandwagon pink hatters.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:04 PM
Keep the entrance music coming..Me and my professor are gonna pick the winner
April 12th, 2012 at 1:06 PM
They dont have to be hardrock ass kick music..just have to be good…
April 12th, 2012 at 1:06 PM
what team wouldn’t do that if they hadn’t won a championship in 86 years?
if you think the red sox were bad, the cubs will blow them out of the water with that shit if they ever win.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:08 PM
A hearty whatever the fuck ever at this topic.
Any Pittsburghers thinking of heading to the lawns to watch the game tomorrow outside of Consol?
April 12th, 2012 at 1:10 PM
Whatever the fuck ever?
April 12th, 2012 at 1:12 PM
F that. I’m going to get fucked up at a bar down south side with the other degenerates.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:13 PM
Avenged Sevenfold “Bat Country”
yea, it’s old but it’s got that I wanna stomp someone’s face feel to it, brah.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:13 PM
I don’t think that shocks anyone
April 12th, 2012 at 1:13 PM
I’m debating. Did that last night and plan on starting drinking at seven Saturday morning, so, could be rough.
I really hate that you can smoke in bars in this city. Disgusting people.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:14 PM
i nominate the above for least substaniative post ever.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:15 PM
Fuck you.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
Pretty sure I’m bringing my 2 year old to the game.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
I really hate that you can smoke in bars in this city. Disgusting people.
don’t you live on tobacco road?
April 12th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
Really? I thought it was a state wide PA law that you couldnt.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
Red Sox should have hired Gene Lamont. Then Tiger fans would have one less thing to bitch about their loaded team.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:18 PM
Fuck you, buddy!
I don’t mind smokers in the abstract. But in a confined environment, it’s just gross. The air quality in this city sucks enough, should be able to breathe while drinking all day.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:18 PM
I have odds you’ll end up leaving by the 4th inning. Takers?
April 12th, 2012 at 1:19 PM
Nah I live in Pittsburgh, from NC. But smoking is banned in NC, which I never thought would happen. Considering we have high schools and counties named for tobacco companies in the Carolinas.
So did I.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Let’s see…
1) 7:05pm start
2) His normal bedtime is 8pm
3) Red Sox games take forever
Yeah, those odds never made it up on the board.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
As one that smokes like there is tomorrow when I’m drunk, I have no problem going outside for my taste. I support non smoking bars, but don’t treat us like we are a bunch of wild animals.
Like Cosmo Kramer said, “Just because a person is a smoker doesn’t mean he is not a human being.”
April 12th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
In Red Sox gear? Watch your back, dude.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Same in Michigan. But there are plenty of establishments that turn a blind eye to it.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Like Jerry Seinfeld said, “It doesn’t?”
April 12th, 2012 at 1:22 PM
Mine is 6 and doesn’t care for baseball (yet). Bringing him wouldn’t be very fun for him. I’ve tried this before and he was kinda miserable. He enjoyed going to minor league games because there are bouncy houses and shit like that for him to do…..
April 12th, 2012 at 1:23 PM
I don’t know about animus for Red Sox fans by Phils fans. If there is, that’s a new one on me.
If it were a Yankees or Mets series, I’d agree with you.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:26 PM
There’s a chance no matter who the opponent, really. The last Sox/Phils game I went to, this guy went on the attack out of nowhere because he thought this fat dude in an Ortiz tee ‘looked at him’ wrong. He was wasted and his friends were desparately trying to stop him but, yeah. It was scary being close to it.
Not saying that only Philly has crazy fans, but if I had a young child I would never bring him in hostile territory, wherever.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:27 PM
I don’t smoke, and like that I can go to a bar and not get choked out by the smoke, but I also think it’s bullshit you cant smoke in a bar. Bars are sposed to be smokey..you want to get drunk but cant stand the smoke stay at home and drink. While your complaining about getting lung cancer from second hand smoke your liver is wondering why you hate it so much..
April 12th, 2012 at 1:27 PM
These seems appropriate for the exchange above…
April 12th, 2012 at 1:27 PM
Mantis my problem is that almost all of my friends here are heavy heavy smokers. And while they have the common decency to think of where they’re blowing smoke, a lot of other people don’t. So we always end up at the smoking bars.
But full credit to people who admit to being full blown smokers rather than the lying sack of shit “I only smoke when I drink” people. Those are sub-humans.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:28 PM
When the hippies start banning chewing tobacco we’ll have some real fuckin problems
April 12th, 2012 at 1:29 PM
I’ve been to every Phillies-Sox game in the past five years in Philly and it’s always been pretty civil. We’re pretty unified in our hatred of the Yankees no matter what.
/I will probably need someone to drive me home that night
//PAT THE BAT PAT THE BAT
April 12th, 2012 at 1:29 PM
I doubt I’ll live long enough to get lung cancer. I have asthma though, and stupid bitches blowing their Marlboro Lights in my face does not help.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:30 PM
Oh, no doubt.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:30 PM
Oh..you’re one of those
April 12th, 2012 at 1:31 PM
The smoking ban is the greatest thing that ever happened to the bar business. I’m a smoker and I don’t mind for a minute stepping outside. That shit just gets caked to the walls. It’s gross as fuck.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Planning him sleeping through the game?
April 12th, 2012 at 1:32 PM
I’m not concerned. I’m very non-confrontational, and people seem to get that vibe. Every time I’ve been to Yankee Stadium and the bars nearby, everyone is really cool to me.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:33 PM
It also helps decrease my cig intake for the night. When I’m drunk and it’s a smoking bar, I just keep lighting em up.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:33 PM
*plays keep away with mole’s inhaler*
April 12th, 2012 at 1:33 PM
No, I mean it’s almost guaranteed we’ll be out by then.
Maybe I need to brush up on my gambling lingo.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:33 PM
But speaking of Philly fans, this. I loved Freddy in Reading, so that was great to see.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:34 PM
Didn’t know that about Pittsburgh. That is awful.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:36 PM
I’m not sure what the rule is. I know it’s the bar’s choice, but I don’t know if there are certain requirements they have to meet or anything.
I drank at a bar in Charlotte on Friday that was a “membership club” which means they can allow smoking. But they don’t actually have any sort of membership, that was a solid bar though, had a sand pit with a ping pong table outside.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
If it’s their choice, they probably feel obligated to allow it. Puts them in a tough spot.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:46 PM
You can smoke in casinos in Michigan.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:46 PM
If you make less than 20% of reveune on food sales you are exempt from the smiking ban in Pittsburgh I believe.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:47 PM
or smoking ban
April 12th, 2012 at 1:48 PM
I have asthma though,
Lunger
April 12th, 2012 at 1:48 PM
Gotcha. Thought it had something to do with alcohol/food ratio but wasn’t sure. Great way to make sure of that is close the kitchen at nine.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:49 PM
I’m almost positive that people were smoking in the Sands in Bethlehem, PA.
April 12th, 2012 at 1:51 PM
It would also drive off clientele as well, anymore. People have become so used to it that you never hear anyone bitch about going inside. Food is an issue as well. Florida has (or used to have) a law that said if 60% of you income comes from food, you must not smoke inside. Granted that goes for more restaraunts, because everyone knows in the bar business your money comes from booze, even if you do have a menu. Step outside people, it’s not going to kill you goddamnit
April 12th, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Very few establishments in states with smoking bans have seen a drop off in their profits due to people not being able to smoke inside the bar. Turns out booze is a more popular draw than being able to smoke.
