Craig James: Being gay ‘is a choice … they are going to have to answer to the Lord’ [View all]

Those of us with sports knowledge know what an idiot Craig James is. So here in all his glory I give you a major douchebag:

As you know, ESPN football analyst and former Patriots RB Craig James is running for the U.S. Senate out of Texas — which leads to my favorite political polling data paragraph of the month so far:

James, who formally launched his campaign last week, draws 4 percent support. The former SMU Mustang and New England Patriot running back is struggling to overcome two liabilities: he’s largely unknown and he’s unpopular among those who know him.
