OT: Craig James...
http://www.thepostgame.com/commentary/201201/craig-james-most-hated-man-west-texas
Looks like Craig James' Senate race is not looking good. I guess skeletons in ones closet can be a problem. Or just railroading a popular coach out of town...
January 27th, 2012 at 9:38 AM ^
5 skeletons in that closet?
January 27th, 2012 at 9:40 AM ^
of craig james killing 5 hookers while at SMU, allegedly.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:42 AM ^
I made a bet with a fellow Michigan man that someone would bring up hookers within the first 5 threads of comment on this, and made $20........
Easiest money I made tax free all year!
January 27th, 2012 at 9:45 AM ^
go buy a sixer
January 27th, 2012 at 9:48 AM ^
between thread posting and the first comment you found a fellow Michigan man and made that bet? I call shenanigans.
and yes someone said shenanigans!
January 27th, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
shenanigans one more time...
January 27th, 2012 at 9:42 AM ^
I feel like this thread might turn into an inadvertant CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU posbang thread.
Be ye warned.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:54 AM ^
Just look at the man.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:40 AM ^
No, it's totally unsubtantiated that craig james KILLED 5 HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:41 AM ^
something about dead hookers...
January 27th, 2012 at 9:41 AM ^
Color me redundant.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:43 AM ^
color me bad
January 27th, 2012 at 9:46 AM ^
you don't stop
January 27th, 2012 at 9:43 AM ^
As someone who lives in West Texas, I am absolutely enjoying Craig James' embarassing, pathetic performance in the Senate race. I have yet to meet a single person in West Texas that has a single ounce of sympathy or care for Craig James. He can rot in hell for all we West Texans care.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:43 AM ^
The man played an active role in destroying two major Texas football programs. That's the kiss of death in that state. I bet if you asked people if they'd lynch Craig James more than 2% would say yes.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:14 AM ^
I think I read somewhere that there was an incident with something like 6 prostitutes. I can't believe that its true but there is so much information out there about it that I'm starting to believe . . .
January 27th, 2012 at 10:26 AM ^
Six is pure sensationalist nonsense since it was allegedly five ladies of the night...
January 27th, 2012 at 10:30 AM ^
Only 5? Oh, well that's not all that big of a deal then. I thought I read somewhere that it was 6 and I was astonished. 5 is much more reasonable.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:42 AM ^
so to recap the rumor, Craig James killed 5 (not 6) hookers while at SMU.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:52 AM ^
Are we sure that there weren't any others involved after his time at SMU? Has anyone done any research into that yet? Hmmmm . . .
January 27th, 2012 at 12:41 PM ^
*allegedly. Let's not go around making claims that we can't substantiate.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:44 AM ^
This is good. If he is throwing his weight around as a broadcast announcer, imagine how much he would abuse the power that comes with being a US senator. What a douche. And what a scandal. Not one mention of any dead hookers anywhere in the article.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:47 AM ^
If, in fact, Craig James murdered five hookers at SMU, as is alleged, how would they refer to that in Dallas? Would they say "Craig James killed five HOOKERS" or "Craig James killed five PROSTITUTES" or "Craig James killed five WHORES" or "Craig James killed five STREET WALKERS"? Would they say that Craig James KILLED five hookers or MURDERED five hookers or SLAYED five hookers or DISMEMBERED AND MADE A SCRUMPTIOUS HOOKER STEW OF THE FLESH of five hookers?
I am fascinated by linguistics and these questions intrigue me.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:53 AM ^
he is not Jack The Ripper, allegedly.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:08 AM ^
Allegedly.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:48 AM ^
If you don't want to read the article, here is a summary (a direct quote from the article):
"It's not that people in West Texas don't like him," said Mayes. "It's that nobody likes him."
OUCH!
January 27th, 2012 at 9:50 AM ^
I think the lesson here is that you don't get between Texan's and their football. After all, CRAIG JAMES ALLEGEDLY KILLED 5 HOOKERS AT SMU, not a fact, just rumors that CRAIG JAMES ALLEGEDLY KILLED 5 HOOKERS AT SMU
January 27th, 2012 at 9:53 AM ^
It's good to see that article didn't indulge the unsubstantiated rumors that CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS while at SMU.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:59 AM ^
"It's not that people in West Texas don't like him," said Mayes. "It's that nobody likes him."
January 27th, 2012 at 9:59 AM ^
should sell used cars.
He could not be elected to oversee a neighborhood watch.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:05 AM ^
I can see his sales pitch now. "Look at all that trunk space, could easily fit five dead hookers in there no problem."
January 27th, 2012 at 11:18 AM ^
He could have easily played Norm McDonald's character in Dirty Work.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:00 AM ^
Cmon Texas you know you'd rather have him in Senate rather than have to listen to him in the broadcast booth. Please?
Of course if we can somehow avoid both that would be for the best.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:05 AM ^
Given hiz predilection for assassinating hookerz, he should run in Massachussetts
January 27th, 2012 at 10:07 AM ^
dangerously close to the "no politics" line there. Not saying it wasn't hilarious, but be careful...
January 27th, 2012 at 10:48 AM ^
is it a Kennedy (not JFK, but another one) thing?
January 27th, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
My guess it's a reference to the time Teddy Kennedy drove a car off a bridge with a lady passenger (not a hooker), escaped, and left her to drown and didn't tell anyone til the next morning.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:05 AM ^
Whenever I hear a sleazeball like Craig James talk about returning Murica to her core values, I wonder WTF are they talking about?
A Murica where politicians could bankroll an entire college football team? A Murica where one can use their position of power to harass a state employee? A Murica where a guy can just kill 5 hoes and live in peace?
Yes more of that Murica please.
Vote Craig James 2012 and vote often!
January 27th, 2012 at 10:06 AM ^
This will be THE LAST Craig James thread. The meme has been beaten to death like five... yeah.
Go ahead. Get aaaaaall of the dead hooker jokes out.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:18 AM ^
I have no problem with the idea of being done with the hooker jokes, but it seems likely to me that James will end up back at ESPN doing blantantly self-serving and stupid things. Should any future commentary on that be banned?
I do realize that it may be impossible to separate pertinent posts on James from posts saying that he...you know.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:22 AM ^
When Craig James does something sports-related, that's still fair game. This is simply the last politics-is-okay-because-he's-a-sports-figure-with-a-hilarious-meme thread.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:26 AM ^
I hadn't even thought about the politics part of it. I was more focused on the hookers. If that says something about me, well...
January 27th, 2012 at 10:09 AM ^
hookers...blah, SMU...blah cover up
January 27th, 2012 at 10:11 AM ^
It is an undeniable fact that Craig James allegedly killed 5 hookers at SMU
January 27th, 2012 at 10:11 AM ^
"America is great, because Americans are good!"
January 27th, 2012 at 10:12 AM ^
Help me understand this about CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU? Did he not think this would come back up?
January 27th, 2012 at 10:45 AM ^
Fine, if we are done focusing on Craig James allegedly didn't do, then I submit that it's a bit more topical for us to instead not be talking about the baseless rubbish about the FIVE CO-EDS WHO ALLEGEDLY TIED UP AND SPANKED URBAN MEYER WITH OSTRICH FEATHERS WHILE AT FLORIDA
January 27th, 2012 at 10:46 AM ^
he kept the skeletons in his closet? what a sicko.
January 27th, 2012 at 4:15 PM ^
And a raging hypocrite too. Oh, it's OK to keep skeletons in one's closet, sure, but NOT MY SON YOU BASTARDS.
January 27th, 2012 at 10:55 AM ^
Oh no, this meme is gone from Google autofill. I guess Craig James got to someone (aside from Mike Leach and the 5 hookers back in the day)
EDIT: He did.
