    PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling says he doesn't know what he should apologize for following the collapse of his video game company that received a $75 million state loan guarantee.

    Schilling did his first interview about the 38 Studios deal Tuesday with WPRO-AM.

    He asked listeners: "What do you want me to apologize for?"

    Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo has said Rhode Island residents were hurt by the bad deal and deserve an apology.

    Schilling says his company failed because it didn't raise enough money, not because he did anything malicious or illegal.

    Schilling moved 38 Studios from Massachusetts to Rhode Island in 2010 in exchange for the loan guarantee. But the company later went bankrupt.

    The state sued. A judge recently approved a settlement with Schilling.
