Here is something that Craig Watkins said to the Associated Press in January:
“To be realistic, this may be a 30-, 40-year career for me here as Dallas County DA. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and I think once we get through this election cycle, then the politics of it all will settle down.”
Here is the joke I wrote in January about that statement: Mind you, that’s just being realistic. If you want to get optimistic, let your imagination take you where it may, then we’re talking an 80- or 90-year career as Dallas County D.A. Also, if Watkins had a month to train, really get himself in shape, cut back on the sauce, he could start at tight end for the Seahawks. Okay, maybe not start. But a solid backup for sure. He’d contribute.
Here is another joke that I offer you today, free of charge: Watkins has access to those forfeiture funds for two more months. After that, he’ll have to pay for his own car wrecks.
