Oh and if you are curious if CJK5H is mentioned.....yes.
December 14th, 2018 at 11:03 AM ^
Allegedly.

CJK5H for the Lord. Allegedly

Craig James is nuts. Craig James has always been nuts. Craig James will always be nuts. Craig James was NEVER THE VOICE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Why bother writing a 1000+ word article if you are going to lead with a ridiculous, purposely false headline? Undermines the whole article. Damn shame.
December 14th, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
James was a pretty good commentator, but the voice of college football? No way. I can think of at least a dozen people that would fit that description better than him.
December 14th, 2018 at 11:32 AM ^
IIRC it didn't say THE voice of CFB.
December 14th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
The title of the article is literally "How Craig James went from the voice of college football to TV pariah to seminary graduate"
December 14th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Well... yeah... but besides that?
December 14th, 2018 at 12:09 PM ^
Best commentators in college football history:
1) Keith Jackson
2) Everyone else....in a distant second.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
Keith was technically the play-by-play guy but I get your point.
(But I preferred Ufer)
December 14th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Close.....more like:
1) Keith Jackson
2) .......................
3) Everyone else
Spot 2 is empty out of respect for Keith Jackson, everyone else is a distant third.
December 14th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
If you ain't first, you're last. Not even Ricky Bobby voted for James in 2012
December 14th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
Better yet, what you said except for:
3)Everyone else other than Craig "Killer" James
4)--------------
Last place) CJK5H

Brent Musburger, especially when talking about girlfriends of college qbs.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
In reality, he was pretty big back in the day. There was no Gameday show and college football was only starting to get big. That said, I never liked his confrontational, in-your-face style broadcasting. He got what he deserved in the end... allegedly.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
Allegedly...
December 14th, 2018 at 11:10 AM ^
Fired by Fox for being too big of a loudmouth bigoted douche bag. That's quite an accomplishment, Craig James!
December 14th, 2018 at 12:06 PM ^
Well, he isn't a shapely blonde woman. That fact alone pretty much hurts any hopes of a career at Fox.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
Or, you can be a a loudmouth bigoted douche bag AND a shapely blonde woman...and get hired by Fox.
Just ask Britt McHenry.

Test of your principles: would you date her? Because my political principles are extremely flexible in the face of a hot woman.
December 24th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
It's not so much her politics as her general sense of being a toxic person that turn me off.
Any person of privilege that openly disparages an hourly employee gets the sidyest of side eyes from me.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:14 PM ^
It's amazing to me that Fox goes out only looking for incredibly talented, experienced, analytically sharp journalists and somehow always finds them wrapped in an extraordinarily attractive female package. You would think that just once in a while they would find that the most experienced candidate was NOT the most attractive? Quite a puzzle...
December 14th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
A number of them are lawyers, too.
December 14th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
I've noticed lately that for the news breaks all of the female Fox News journalists have variants of the Rachel Maddow haircut. Not sure what to infer from that.
December 14th, 2018 at 10:49 PM ^
What I notice is they are all very leggy. Fox's minimum requirement for ankle to knee is 3.5 feet.
December 15th, 2018 at 8:03 AM ^
Newsflash: that's not just a "Fox" thing. ESPN, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, they ALL do that. It's just as much about the attractiveness of the person as it is the eloquence of their statements.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
Let’s not pretend that other media outlets which may be of a differing viewpoint arnt just as intolerant as your claiming FOX is when a viewpoint differs from there own.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
Yes, Rachel Maddow's popularity relies on her great rack...
December 14th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
MSNBC has all the talent now...Tur, Jackson, Hunt, Ruhle. They also have better looking guests for the most part.
Fox has really slipped lately. I mean, they're currently trotting out that veejay from MTV.
Shannon Bream and Dana Perino are probably the only attractive ones left
December 14th, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
Well, I won't even lie here. I don't watch any cable news of any ideological stripe, as it all drives me nuts. But when I am at the gym on a treadmill, I usually end up facing a Fox News TV. It's certainly more visually appealing than anything besides Cinemax after 2:00 AM, and reading the closed captioning is hilarious...
December 14th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
Kennedy is a hardcore Libertarian and has a lot of views that everyone who is so eager to shit on Fox News right now would agree with.
Knowing what a person has to say before judging them, a remarkable concept.
December 14th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
I watch Outnumbered a lot. Kennedy is an idiot. She makes Faulkner sound insightful.
But that's probably because most "hard core libertarians" aren't able to reconcile reality
December 14th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
There's a lot of taking advantage of pre-existing conditions without questioning how those conditions came to be in the Libertarian worldview, no question. But I'm still surprised someone who wants criminal justice reform, wants drugs legalized, and is against military intervention abroad somehow comes in for the "Typical of Fox News" bullshit.
December 14th, 2018 at 4:38 PM ^
Tur has nice titties. Her dad is trans gendered.
December 14th, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
All I hear is liberals are unnatracive then?
December 14th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Reading comprehension, dipshit. The comment was about intolerance on both sides, not the attractiveness of the host.
December 14th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
Cool hook eM
December 14th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Lol! I didn't know who Maddow was so I looked her up... I'm still laughing. Well played
December 14th, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
IMBLUE2 - You're going to need to write so we understand you. Makes the discussions easier. Thx.
December 14th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
you arnt being very nice...
December 14th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
I’m a big boy big mean person making fun of me has little impact
December 14th, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
Here I thought Michigan had some of the best academics in the nation...it’s pretty clear but I was avoiding speaking directly as this isn’t the forum for political views. I simply am pointing out in my earlier post that there are other media outlets which are just as intolerant of viewpoints that don’t mesh with there’s, as I believe the media today does not report the news but rather gives viewership opinion based subject matter. In plain speak FOX may be biased but so isn’t damn near every other media outlet, it appears that The original posters views differ than that from FOX so they are wrong and bad.
You seem like a smart fellow so I gather that you probably understood this from my original post, and are attempting to discredit my statement by making a joke I feel as though you have given me PTSD from your mocking tone and I will retreat to my safe place with my therepuric blanket provided by the liberals in order to cope tHX
This of course is an example of sarcasm and shouldn’t be taken seriously so no need to protest or anything.
one last thing I find it interesting though that one asks for someone to write clearly and in the request uses an abbreviation which not everyone would find clear. Maybe just type out the extra 3 letters in thanks.
December 14th, 2018 at 1:42 PM ^
Stop. Digging.
December 14th, 2018 at 2:04 PM ^
But he's almost to China!
Or, more accurately, I should write...
but hes almst 2 china
December 14th, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
Ok I’ll kick it back to you, what is it your not understanding? Or is it that you don’t agree with the statement if so then just say that. Keyboard gangsters are like a dime a dozen by the way. Found two more for the pile.
December 14th, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
"Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for stating what needed to be said. I am particularly glad that these lovely children are here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed the courage little seen in this day and age. "
December 14th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
F yous guys I quit taking my ball and going home...I’m sure based on your postings you won’t realize this is light hearted and agree to disagree. Also the mispelled word was on purpose for effect before the grammar police want to peacock
December 14th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Peacock: A bird. Peackock: The apex of being a cock, above which none can climb
December 14th, 2018 at 3:12 PM ^
You know your way around that second one don’t you big guy?
December 14th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
Facts are stubborn things. Alternative facts do not exist. Be better.
December 14th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
By "differing viewpoint" I assume you mean news outlets that are more interested in facts than propaganda.
