did anyone ask about his dark times at SMU?
David Edmonson via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Brad - you mean the rumors about him and the five dead hookers? Those are troubling indeed.
CeeCee Pond via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Are you sure the five dead hookers stories are just rumors?
Brad Davis via Texas Tribune on Facebook
David - yes. I haven't seen an official response to those allegations.
David Edmonson via Texas Tribune on Facebook
You're right - I don't have confirmation either way. "Alleged rumors," I should say.

I was open to listening to James until he went off on the social issue tirade.

John Wayne reincarnate: Texan's like the image. And then he merely repeats the TPPF (of which he is a member) talking points. Sorry dude, you need to get back on your horse and mosey on down the bumpy road and over the cliff that Perry is on.

This guy is no different than any wannabe politicians. He would say anything but without convictions. What happened? Did ESPN not renew his tv contract so he has to find a new job?

Are my opinions being judged by a lilac abstraction?
Mark Uptergrove via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Ok Ok,so the guy sucked and abused his position at ESPN, gave SMU the death penalty, KILLED 5 HOOKERS(allegedly) while he was there, and his son wrecked TTU football, let's look at the good side....wait...nm

@Eddie: He chose to run for office, and as a result of that had to go off of ESPN, not the other way around.

If you wanna get married, get married. But I wouldn't allow that.

[To clarify, that was the mangled logic of Craig James' point. Not my own feelings.] I still what to know how much he paid in income tax on the payments he received while at SMU. The statute of limitations was up about 20 years ago.
As for the hookers, Google has muted the bomb somewhat in that it no longer suggests the text of the allegations.

How can he run for any type of office with the skeletons he has in his closet. CRAIG JAMES MURDERED 5 HOOKERS WHILE HE WAS AT SMU.
