You know, there is something almost poetic about a “where is he now?” piece on Craig James that still cites the alleged hookers’ deaths story as part of his legacy.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
“I’m an asshole, and people who work with me keeps telling everyone I’m an asshole, so I need to do something where I can continue to be an asshole but where I’m shielded from criticism and where half the population will defend my asshole behavior and comments.”
When you come off as the less sympathetic figure in a spat with Mike Leach, it’s time to check yourself.

The ultimate evidence of his ego is the contention that people hate him because he goes home to the same woman every night for 29 years, and other nonsense. No one gives a shit about that. They hate him because, as gatriguy points out, he is an ass.

My sentiments exactly. Trying to make his pariah status about his Christian faith even though he’d be an obnoxious clown whether he were Jewish, Muslim, atheist or Scientologist.
“They don’t like that I’ve been in the spotlight but haven’t stumbled.” Oh, we’ve seen you stumble plenty, dickhead.

If you distilled SMU/Highland Park into one living, breathing human being, you’d get Craig James.

He seems to be wearing that religion a little too prominently on his sleeve.

Matt Stinchcomb announces sports. David Pollack announces sports. Are we saying ALL sports announcers are self-righteous dickheads? Are we just here to impugn people’s character?

Essentially bragging about being faithful to your wife (hence people are jealous as a result) is equivalent to bragging about feeding and providing shelter for your kids. You’re not supposed to cheat on your wife, so bragging about doing something you’re supposed to do in the first place is nothing short of asinine.

Really says something that Craig James became such a toxic piece of shit that the only job he could get was behind a pulpit.

Pride is the deadliest sin. A true Christian is humble about all things. You shouldn’t even be proud about being humble. Mr James should reflect a little more about what it means to be a Christian.

I’m sure he will be the first one to tell you he is the most humble person you have ever met.

I’m sure it’s an oft-paraphrased / referenced story, but I remember my pastor telling a story when I was a kid about the church giving a man a “most humble” pin and then taking it away from him when he wore it as a lesson in what being humble actually means. I didn’t take a lot of lessons out of my time in the church, but that one has stuck with me for 30 years.

A letter in the court filing describes James as “divisive, contentious, and undesirable.” I think I remember something similar in my divorce decree.😕

Wes Durham had a radio show during the time James was running for Senate. Durham was trying to announcing the results of the latest poll, but he was laughing so hard, he could hardly say ‘the poll said not many people knew who he was, but those that did, didn’t like him.’
