LB Carson might tackle politics with House bid

House Democrats are envisioning another Giants victory -- not by the professional football team, but by Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson in a congressional run.

Officials with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are recruiting the 58-year-old retired New York Giant for a race against five-term Republican Rep. Scott Garrett in a northern New Jersey district.

Carson said Wednesday he's interested.

Carson spent 13 years with the Giants, from 1976 to 1988, and was on the championship team in 1986.
Since retiring, Carson has worked in broadcasting, written two books and started his own consulting and promotions company.
