Broadcaster Gary Thorne, the man who used his pulpit to get the Oklahoma head coach fired due to his remarks surrounding Joe Dunnigan is at it again. He said last night that Doug Mirabelli had told him, or that he heard that someone told someone that the blood on Curt Shilling's sock was really red paint. There is not one iota of proof to support this claim, but there is a 13" scar on Shilling's ankle and foot that would indicate that this man pitched when he probably shouldn't have.
We all know what shock radio is. But for a broadcaster to put forth rumor and inuendo that cannot be sustantiated should be grounds for firing.
