FBI Looking for Red Sox Corruption, Find Porn

The Red Sox are looking for a new spring training home in Lee County, but the FBI thinks something fishy is going on.

The FBI was looking for some shady e-mails about a new Boston Red Sox spring training stadium.

What they found was some porn and sexually explicit material that has cost a county manager his job.

Lee County commissioners voted Tuesday to terminate Don Stilwell's employment, and are offering him a three-month severance package. He has been given a week with pay to consider the offer.

Stilwell had the images and e-mails nicely hidden on his work computer. He should be getting fired for stupidity.

The e-mails came to light last week after the FBI requested correspondence from Stilwell and three other county employees, some of which were related to the construction of a new spring training stadium for the Red Sox. The FBI thinks something fishy is going on, but instead found some other raw material.

Officials aren’t saying what was so offensive in the explicit e-mails. Rumors have it some contained David Ortiz in a Yankees cap or Dustin Pedroia in a thong.

Among Stilwell's e-mails were sexually explicit images he had received and forwarded.

Stilwell has apologized for his actions.

Still no clues on that shady stadium deal, but keep searching FBI. We’re sure there’s some more juicy pics and e-mail in Lee County.
