Craig James senate run featured on Fox Sports



Some choice quotes from the article:

Dear United States of Football America,

You're welcome. And I hope you are appropriately thankful for this sacrifice.

My fellow Texans and I are taking yet another one for the team, this time staring down the prospect of being governed by expert blowhard Craig James so you do not have to turn down the volume on Thursday night football broadcasts.

Star-divide

I admit my first reaction upon hearing Craig James wanted to be my senator was hahahahaha. This seemed very much like one of those political rumors drudged up for the sheer entertainment value. Thursdays in football season were giggle gold as The Twitterverse went all scorched Earth policy on James. (Go to Google. Type in Craig James. An internet prankster has tricked it up so Google's first suggestion in the search box dropdown menu is "killed 5 hookers.")

Wait... Let's see here...

WHY HASN'T HE DENIED THIS?

Another, pretty amusing article:

Again, Dallas Magazine (Isn’t that where he’s supposed to be POPULAR?):

There are two books out that chronicle the Craig James-Mike Leach imbroglio at Texas Tech: Leach’s Swing Your Sword (to a lesser extent) and Michael Lee’s Double T Double Cross. Well, an alert Red Raider points us to news that James has filed complaints in Collin County against the publishers of the those books. His lawyer want to depose the publishers to investigate a potential claims against them. Says the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal: "The complaint was filed December 12 in 199th District Court of Collin County and lists 27 grounds James believes the authors used to mislead the general public and make defamatory statements against him."

In a related note, I am currently seeking a publisher for my manuscript titled Craig James Killed 5 Hookers at SMU. I look forward to my deposition.

As an aside, you know, this shocking reduction in popularity of people asking if “Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU” on Google has led to a drop in its auto-recommend rankings, but I like you, will keep searching until I find a statement by Craig James addressing this concerning issue. I search Google News and Google often for this information. I truly find it worrisome that the matter of the possibility that Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU has gone completely unaddressed. By following and sharing these fine links, and by searching for answers on Google and Google News regularly, you too can make a difference in this investigative matter.

/pushes up glasses

It’s actually just “D Magazine”.

Though both D’s Frontburner and the Observer’s Unfair Park blogs have recently mentioned, and appear to be rather entertained by, the Google ranking of the unrefuted rumor that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU.

It's a time for egg nog and tequila.

Wonder why he settled on U.S. Senator

If he killed 5 hookers while at SMU surely he could run the entire country. He is clearly President material

We're Texas, We're not OK.

Duh

6 year terms instead of 4, and no term limits. He’s in hooker killin’ for the LONG HAUL.

Allegedly.

The #rememberthe5 run appears to be over

The “Craig James 5 hookers” no longer shows up as possible entries on google. The fun police showed up, scrubbed the algorith, and sent the 5 down the memory hole.

Well hello there hangover. Fancy meeting you here this bright Thursday morning.

Yeah, but...

“Craig James killed” is still number 2, and when you get to “Craig James k”, the number 2 and three are “Craig James killed 5 hookers” and “Craig James killed 5 hookers while at smu”

Plus, hey, it got noticed and spread far and wide. Solid victory!

Thinking about it...

I doubt it was scrubbed… I bet the search volume of searches for Craig James has shot up thanks to his presidential bid, and not enough of them are going to search for “Craig James killed 5 hookers” for it to maintain relative buoyancy…

Which means? WE HAVE WORK TO DO ONCE MORE, GENTLEMEN.

It's locationally-variant.

If I type ‘craig james ’, ’craig james killed 5 hookers’ is like #6.

If the internet can make the Santorum definition stick

We can find a way to tell the whole world that Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU

I to am curious if Craig James Killed 5 Hookers

Though there has been no direct proof that Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU, there has been much supposition on the topic. It is theoretically possible that Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU and even potentially plausible that Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU, but without some form of corroboration that Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU, it is only conjecture.

Surely if Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU, one of his political opponents would look into it. It is not like Leach would not have been curious whether Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU and used it during his lawsuit. This is Texas politics we are talking about. Someone is going to look into if Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU, just to make sure. Imagine the political outrage that would come about if after the fact that it is discovered that Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU. The political blackeye it would give Texas would be enormous. The investigation into whether Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU is just a matter to time from happening and then we will all know if Craig James Killed 5 Hookers during his time at SMU…

THIS = GOLD

It would be a shame if Google increased its ranking of a rumor that CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS. I would be surprised if Craig James killed five hookers. In fact I would be saddened if Craig James killed five hookers. Say, did you hear the one about Craig James killed five hookers? What am I doing tonight? Why, I’m watching a show that says, Craig James killed five hookers. Just kidding. There’s no way Craig James killed five hookers. I know for a fact that tomorrow’s paper will refute that Craig James killed five hookers. Three guys entered a bar: a priest, a rabbi and a virgin. The priest said, "did you hear that Craig James killed five hookers?"
