I'll take EDC board members for $500 Alex ..............

"He was the only member of the RI EDC board who voted NO ...........

"Who was Karl Wadensten Alex"

From the onset this was the most idiotic move amongst a whole bunch of idiotic moves in RI, what could go wrong???

A pitcher, with no experience running a company, uses his star power to make claims that he had a great idea for a video game company, the state loans him 75 million dollars, backed by the public and then production slows and they cannnot produce the second part of a multi part product...

He missed a million dollar installment on his loan, why don't you pay it yourself Mr. Shilling???

He will tap dance and do the Shilling "two step", and at the end it will be someone's elses fault...

Between this and the city of Central Falls believing that putting a privately contracted federal prison in their downtown would save their city, idiocy at its best...

I really wish Shill never pitched the bloody sock game in 04 because I really want to say he's a POS douche, but espn played the whole 30 by 30 episode of that series last night and reminded me of my man-love for him.

Or if it gets real bad kurt will develop stigmata on his ankle which should get the dollars rolling in.

LOL! Did he delete that post you quoted? I don't see it.

too funny.

Looks like he came back, deleted it, then reposted it.

I love the use of the "fair weather fan" connotation. As if Schilling becomes infallible as yet another RW blowhard all because of his athletic achievements.

The problem is his game premise was huge 10 years ago, not now.

I just know that if Shilling were some kind of devout liberal and been involved with this, that shmessy would have never posted it.....

so one must consider the source

And not the content??

It is not so much about Shilling, but the idiocy of a state getting involved in a contract with this attention whore, who has no proven business acumen or experience..

Oooooooh, I'm sorry, that was incorrect Icy.

But for our runners up we have a year's supply of Turtle Wax and Rice-a-Roni, that San Francisco treat.


GoLocalWorcester | Business & Real Estate | NEW: Is Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios Going Broke?

"....But the size of the guarantee became a hot button issue during the 2010 governor’s campaign when several candidates—including Governor Chafee— questioned the terms of the deal, which was supported by former Governor Don Carcieri and EDC executive director Keith Stokes. In a WPRI debate a month before the election, Chafee said his calls to let the next Governor make a decision on any deal with 38 Studios had “fallen on deaf ears” and suggested he would considering filing suit against Carcieri if the company went under.

“I guess I can best advise Governor Carcieri to pay up on his premiums for his insurance, because there is an avenue for those aggrieved to come after someone for fiduciary irresponsibility,” Chafee said at the time. “I suppose that’s the last recourse.”

Wrongo.

If he was a liberal who espoused something for others and then did a 180 for himself I would be all over it.

I ripped divorce lawyer John Edwards all over the place here. I also ripped Mr. Law and Order Spitzer for being a complete and loud hypocrite.

Public hypocracy is public hypocracy.

Nice attempt at deflection though. Do you have any salient points about the subject of THIS thread?
