Steve Largent, the Ultimate Underdog, Facing His Toughest Test Yet

Neither making the NFL Hall of Fame as a fourth-round pick or crushing Mike Harden could've prepared Steve Largent for the opponent he faces now: Google.

Largent, who's now president of a cell phone industry association, CTIA, has some strong words for the Bay Area know-it-alls who make it impossible for me to get a second date.

In a letter to the FCC protesting Google's $4.6 billion offer to buy the 700 mhz spectrum (whatever that means), Largent wrote:

The veil has been lifted. Google's letter to the FCC this morning highlights the Internet giant's scheme to have the 700 MHz auction rigged with special conditions in its favor. If Google is willing to commit almost $5 billion dollars for spectrum that it wants encumbered with various requirements, then let it win that spectrum in a competitive auction and choose that business model. Google and its allies, with their collective market capitalization approaching half a trillion dollars, don't need a government handout at taxpayers' expense.
Boy, howdy, that language is enough to make a Googler quiver like a Detroit Lions replacement player cornerback. "Rigged!" "Scheme!" "At taxpayer's' expense!"

Steve Largent! The ultimate underdog! Fighting for us! The taxpayers! (On behalf of the multinational wireless corporations). But still! Hoorah!

(Can someone explain what 700 mhz means?)

Largent: the only conservative Republican who would get more than 0.0005% of the vote in Seattle.
