This dumbass himbo doesn't understand that this will only raise the profile of the issue. So James doesn't talk about Mike Leach? Well there'a always pay to play at SMU, his lousy record at ESPN and his 'Road Warrior' status with the Patriots. So here's today's article about Mr. Wussy:

An attorney for former ESPN college football analyst Craig James has filed legal documents in Collin County District Court, asking a judge to allow him to take depositions from representatives of the publishers of former Tech football coach Mike Leach’s book “Swing Your Sword” and Michael Lee Lanning’s book “Double T — Double Cross.”
Mike O’Brien, a Washington, Texas-based attorney, wants the depositions from Scottsdale Book Publishing LLC, which published Lanning’s book, and Diversion Publishing Corp. LLC, the eBook publishing company of Leach’s book to investigate a potential claim against them. The petition was filed Dec. 12 in the 199th District Court of Collin County.
“The best way for me to explain why this is filed, is to tell you it’s the first step in being able to get the truth out about what happened,” O’Brien said. “Craig (James) has been silent waiting for (his son Adam James) to finish his senior year, and Leach has been on a media blitz with two books. For us, it’s time for the truth to come out.”
Ted Liggett, Leach’s attorney, said he isn’t surprised — this is typical of James, he said.
James announced Monday he is running for the U.S. Senate as a Republican from Texas, and Liggett believes he is pulling a campaign stunt.
“While currently this complaint doesn’t involve Mike (Leach), I can only surmise that Mr. James is attempting to save face from his previous actions that may affect his upcoming senatorial campaign,” Liggett said. “I believe that citizens of Texas know the real Craig James, and the truth will put this matter to rest. ”
O’Brien said the petition has been in the works since he was hired in April or May, before James officially made the decision to run for Senate. In Texas, a deposition may be taken before a complaint leading to a lawsuit is filed in court.
The legal document filed earlier this month lists 27 grounds James believes the authors used to mislead the general public and make defamatory statements against him.
The document states, “It is believed the publishers ... would have conducted a fact-check investigation into the veracity of the allegations concerning Craig James prior to publishing the books. It is also believed that the publishers may have interviewed various witnesses concerning the author’s allegations and statements.”
There are only about two chapters in “Swing Your Sword” addressing James, Liggett said, and the claims are based on deposition testimony and public records.
“Everything in ‘Swing Your Sword’ is true,” he said.
Lanning isn’t surprised either.
All the claims made against James are statements he gave in depositions and sworn testimony, Lanning explained.
Although the author conducted dozens of interviews, he said, James and several others declined to be interviewed.
Lanning said he did receive statements from lawyers, which are included in the book, he said.
He attempted to be as fair and balanced as possible, Lanning added.
“I think anyone that has any questions should read the book,” Lanning said. “It’s very self-explanatory. Everything in the book is not based on fact — it is fact.”
The hearing is set for Jan. 31, O’Brien said.
It is not yet decided what the next step is, he added, including whether or not Leach or Lanning will be sued.
Wednesday afternoon, Brian Mays with Scottsdale Book Publishing was attempting to get in touch with “Double T — Double Cross” Publisher Dean Wegner.
New York City-based Diversion Publishing Corp. did not return messages left Wednesday afternoon.
