Since the Senate thing didn’t work out, Craig James now is looking for work. He told David Barron of the Houston Chronicle that he has been contacted by networks. One of them, though, isn’t ESPN.
James said he has not spoken with programming executives at ESPN, which he described as “his family,” regarding his career but “at some point I will reach out to catch up from a business standpoint.” An ESPN spokesman said James would not appear on the network this fall, and James acknowledged that most networks have announcers set for this season.
“There are a couple of networks that have called to see what I am willing to do,” he said. “When I resigned in December, I went all in for politics, and I found out how many people enjoyed me as a broadcaster. James said. “They said they would miss me, and I said thank you.
“I don’t know what I am going to do. Yes, I love sports, but I also feel strongly about staying involved in fighting for public policy.”
I’m curious who would be lining up for his services. And I’m curious if they would be doing so for the buzz factor. Wherever Craig James goes, people will tune in just to poke fun at his expense.
I know I would.
