The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the onetime sports hero - a college standout at SMU and a pro running back with the New England Patriots - will officially announce his candidacy by Thursday.
As the founder of Texans for a Better America, James has been subtly positioning himself for the political limelight.
The promotional video for James' organization plays out as an elongated campaign advertisement, hitting all of the political sweet spots on his biography and ideological stances."

1. Saw this on the ESPN ticker

I can't believe James is a Republican. Okay. Yeah, I believe it. A total asshhole. Think Mike Leach will vote for him?

Craig James is quite literally on the Mount Rushmore of bad Sports Announcers. Awful Announcing has James, Dick Vitale, Pam Ward, and Tim McCarver on their list of shame.

Somehow I doubt he'll even win the primary.
