Sammy Baugh Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I spent about half an hour with him at the airport one day waiting for our plane. I found him to be a decent man, fun to talk to. Can't say I would vote for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinky Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/more/07/18/bc.na.spt.namesinthegam.ap/index.html?cnn=yes CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Former National Football League quarterback Heath Shuler plans to run for the U.S. Congress. Shuler, a Democrat, said in a statement Monday that he has filed papers with the Federal Election Commission that clear the way for him to run next year in the 11th Congressional District for the U.S. House of Representatives seat held by Republican Charles Taylor. Shuler didn't name Taylor in a press release that emphasized pocketbook issues. "Far too many families in western North Carolina are struggling to earn a decent living, educate their children, and pay for health care," Shuler said. "Congress is spending too much time playing partisan politics, instead of working to find solutions to the real problems facing our families." Shuler was traveling on business Monday and was unavailable for comment, campaign spokesman Randy Flack said. Shuler played football at Swain County High School, where he ranked among North Carolina's all-time passing leaders and led his team to three straight state championships. At the University of Tennessee, he was runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. Drafted in the first round by the Washington Redskins in 1994, Shuler's pro career never developed. In four-plus NFL seasons with the Redskins and New Orleans Saints, Shuler started just 22 games, throwing for 15 touchdowns and 33 interceptions. Since retiring from football, Shuler and his brother Benjie have run Heath Shuler Real Estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I heard this on Redskins Radio and practically burst out laughing. I thought our little Heath would just now be wrapping up a hall of fame career, but instead he's revving up for a run at congress. Funny how things work out.

Mr. S Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 id vote for him, he's still human, he just sucked. He is running a successful real estate firm, so that must account to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
