Just Jack Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I dont think I would ever even THINK about doing such a thing ... unbelievable. 821799[/snapback] I could.... "He called his relationship with his mother "nonexistent" after it crumbled six years ago when he refused to hire her as his agent." Hiring family to be your agent is one of the worst things you can do, see Jessica Simpson as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think thety funniest thing is that she is hoping that her "ties to football" will help to get her elected. What kind of an @ss backward state would elect someone because of their ties to football other then Texas...? ...Nebraska, who elected Tom Osborne to Congress, cause he sure was a good football coach.

apuszczalowski Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Nothing but a pathetic excuse to bank of the success of a family member But how is that supposed to work in Texas? Maybe she should try running in NO and use those commercials, they seem to be pretty high on Brees now and she would probably win it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of an @ss backward state would elect someone because of their ties to football other then Texas...? ...Nebraska, who elected Tom Osborne to Congress, cause he sure was a good football coach. 821984[/snapback] Aside from the poster that mentioned Jack Kemp, locally we would also have Ed Rutkowski. I believe Steve Largent was a congressman from Oklahoma. JC Watts was elected in Oklahoma largely becauseof his reputation as a college football player. these are easy examples off the top of my head, the list goes on and on. I am not claiming that success on the football field makes you abwetter candidate for office, but it does help to raise a persons profile while running.
