To anyone who’s spent the last two decades listening to James speak professionally about the subject he knows best — football — the idea of him presiding over sophisticated matters of legitimate national concern is both hilarious and terrifying. In light of his apparent campaign to oust the most successful coach in Texas Tech history on behalf of his entitled, under-performing son, it’s borderline appalling.

But this is a single-issue blog, and from that perspective, America’s loss could be college football’s gain: If sending a straight shooter with a crooked gun to the Senate means James is out of a job at ESPN, then sign us up. The economy is one thing, but Thursday night games without the incessant braying of The Pony is change we can believe in.

Craig James is running for Senate??

More or less of a travesty than Trump (or, um, a number of the other candidates) running for President?

I have to agree with the above quote. PLEASE get a new team on Thursday night games!
