26CornerBlitz Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) @sportingnews It was Cris Carter who told NFL rookies to get a "fall guy" in case they get in trouble. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2015-08-21/chris-borland-fall-guy-nfl-rookies-espn-story-retirement-49ers-linebacker?eadid=SOC/Twi/SNMain Edited August 24, 2015 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Cris Carter is my most hated guy in all of sports, with the possible exception of Marchand. Carter is a total scumbag and always has been, and this is another in an endless series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I hate CC. He preaches all this **** even though he did stupid bull as well. Ya, you could argue he turned it around, but he's so cocky and I never seem to agree with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 This is just sad. Cris Carter and many of these players continue to allow the NFL to manifest in to a cesspool of character. It makes the great guys like Coy Wire and Jordan Gay, and so many more good people. Remember the issues his son has? Oh, yeah, those! Cris Carter is my most hated guy in all of sports, with the possible exception of Marchand. Carter is a total scumbag and always has been, and this is another in an endless series. Warren Sapp is on the list, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sapp mostly just does stupid and says stupid things more than just being a dirtbag. Obviously Hernandez takes the title of biggest scumbag but I didn't even count him.

Obviously Hernandez takes the title of biggest scumbag but I didn't even count him. you've not heard much about him? about him not signing autographs for kids? being an !@#$ to fans? treating women like ****? a girl i knew growing up befriended him. at first, at least. she's 28-29 now and was 21-22 at the time. Sapp met her while out West in Cali and would talk with her often. Met her while out at a bar with some other women. Then eventually started coming on very strong with her. Her friends, a few of which were famous, pulled her away. He cornered her in a room and basically explained he gets what he wants. He was married, of course. I guess it is well known in the social circles he gets near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of guys, pro athletes or not, are azzholes to women or kids or other guys. It's also amazing the NFL allowed this video to be out with that piece of advice on it. Someone is going to lose their job. That is just pitiful of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJasper Probincrux III Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 That's some quality advice right there... Disgraceful. Cris Carter has been a turd for many years, good to see that though he might be sober now his ****ty attitude hasn't changed. That is scumbag behavior for sure, but not on the level of Carter, IMO. A lot of guys, pro athletes or not, are azzholes to women or kids or other guys.It's also amazing the NFL allowed this video to be out with that piece of advice on it. Someone is going to lose their job. That is just pitiful of the NFL. Either that or someone at the NFL has a conscience and made sure the video didn't disappear like so many other videos do at the home office.

Carter is a total scumbag and always has been, and this is another in an endless series. I agree. The other day he was spewing his typical garbage and the only thing running through my head was how much he looks like one of the puppet heads in Genesis' "Invisible Touch" video. Put some more makeup on, clown face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 And wearing his HoF jacket too. Horrible example for the league. If I was Borland or any other of those rookies I would have walked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 People talk about the culture of a club often enough, but perhaps this video shows that there is a culture to the NFL as a whole that needs addressing. That video actually makes me think about the Pats and Brady running with the same culture of "it's OK to do bad things as long as you don't get caught". Who knows? Perhaps how the NFL has handled deflategate is showing that they are finally wanting this culture to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I live in Columbus now and most talk on local radio here was that CC has always been a big DB even when he played for Ohio State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's an assistant coach at St Thomas Aquinas in Florida so they need to be nice for recruiting purposes, lol Edited August 24, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judman Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 CC presents himself as a "voice of reason" on radio & TV. What a tool. Don't encouage players to grow up and to stop acting like idiots. But find a fall guy? What an unbelievably stupid thing to tell a group of young men that are team mates. Talk about introducing divisiveness in the locker room. I'll guaran-damn-tee that CC would never be the fall guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 i'm bringing this up on NFL Radio this week when I have time as i'd love to hear this discussion. It could take off, and would love for people to comment on this position from Carter and Sapp. This is what they learn at the rookie symposium?

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) There is a certain investigation w/a superstar hockey player... I bet he wishes he "had a fall guy" and took CC's advice. Maybe it will be like Duke LAX and they will find some other guy's junk too. Wow, wouldn't that be convenient. The entitlement culture is everwhere. Blame the ball boy, videotaper, or even the old favorite: alcohol! Edited August 24, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
