((HT: KCBD-TV Lubbock))
In an effort to clear his name... since it has been sullied so...
The HQ has chronicled the back-and-forth between Craig James and former Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach.
Leach sued both Texas Tech and James back last year. Leach was fired in December 2009 amid allegations that he didn't treat James' son Adam like a normal human being- a few days shy of the university having to pay a performance bonus as part of Leach's contract in Lubbock. Leach has always denied what James has asserted.
Leach's local attorney, Ted Liggett, says the reasons behind the lawsuit against ESPN and a Craig James-hired Pee-Ahr firm- Spaeth Communications- are easy to see. Despite sworn testimony from Adam James stating Leach never locked him in that electrical closet we all saw him in, ESPN provided "misinformation and comments to the contrary."
The James' family attorney, Scott McLaughlin, told KCBD:
"I think it's consistent really with what he's done all along, and that he is trying to find someone to blame for his own conduct." McLaughlin continues, "He needs to man up and accept responsibility for what he did and try to move on instead of blaming everybody around."
Spaeth is being fingered by Leach as the group that released the Adam James video to Youtube in the first place...
The HQ would also remind the Leach's defense team that all they really need to do is find the four-letter broadcast of a bowl game from 2009 where James and, we think Bob Davie, kinda forgot the word "allegedly" in their discussion of the topic...
Here's NewsChannel 11's coverage- actually, part of it...
The court documents are hyah...
