    Curt Schilling and Frank Lampard?

    inspired by Schilling's habit of calling talk radio stations to bleat about how poorly he is treated, father-of-the-year candidate Lampard weighs in:

    I espcially like the part where he says the mother of his children is a lush.

    uh Don, I didn't see the word lush in the written story. Maybe it was in the audio.

    Some very personal comments:

    "It hurts me every day when I wake up and my kids are not there. Luckily I have a relationship with my ex-girlfriend where we will share custody or whatever you want to call it. For three nights a week - and I'm away two or three nights for my football - the kids wake up in my house. I look after them solely."

    Lampard became emotional when O'Brien said that he also had daughters and would fight "tooth and nail" to keep his family together.

    He said: "What do you think I have been doing for the last two years? Let me tell you something now, right, my mother died a year ago today and that has had a huge impact on my life and my family's life and on my sister's life and unfortunately that has had a huge impact on my relationship at home. I find it insulting that you insinuate I wouldn't fight tooth and nail for my kids. You don't know anything about me.

    "The hardest part of this break-up is not waking up with my kids every day. So before you start insinuating and calling people weak and scum on a radio station, sitting on a high horse which you are.. I hope one day that your wife or your girlfriend doesn't come up to you and say, I don't want to be with you any more. That will hurt you as well."

    I thought this was particularly endearing. Now I sort of feel bad for the guy.

    Hey, it's Lampard we are talking about here. I feel a little bad for the guy, but after all, you not going to soar with eagles when you are running around with turkeys.

    And Spencer, that line is fantastic.
