    Then they're not very good reporters since the symposium video was posted online. All they had to do was look it up and watch it.

    Yeah, those guys aren't very good reporters. Haven't done anything of note, probably.

    I heard Plaxico Burress had a shot at it.

  4. Maybe they were going the Goofus and Gallant route. Only with Goofus and Goofus.

    All they had to do was watch the video. Apparently someone else did.

    Just sayin'.

    I've said it on here quite a bit on anything CC related.

    What an awful teammate and a true locker room cancer.

    Covered Carter's last six years in Minnesota. Holy buckets he was a terrible teammate. I always likened him as a receiving version of Ernie McCracken. On the national airwaves, he's polished and thoughtful. Once the cameras and mics of the media are off, he returns to a 19 year old man with 25k in his pocket in Las Vegas. The CC we heard in that NFL symposium was the CC in the locker room once the interviews were over.

    Carter always made his QBs his on-field fall guy. For all of the talk about Randy Moss, I always had the sense, watching up close, that he wanted to win and didn't care about his stats. Carter was all stats, give me the ball.

    Between the 98 and 00 NFC title meltdowns, watch Carter run for the hills in both games when it turned bad.

    Was never a leader. Strictly a compiler.

    How many receivers are leaders? It was Carters fault that Anderson blew a 38 yarder against the Falcons?

    He may be an asshole and a fraud as a person but he was hell of a receiver and hardly different than most of the prim donnas that play the position.

    If he lives to 126 maybe. What is funny is that happened when Taggy Boo was commissioner. Not sure why most in the media loved that guy so much. Guess at the congressional hearings he had everyone believe there was no ped problem in the NFL because the NFL started testing for steroids before MLB did.

    That was a huge choke and everyone says wide right whenever Norwood's name is mentioned. Anderson misses a 38-yarder in a f'n dome. That is choking.

    I'm stunned that a guy who has been a punk-ass bitch dating back to his Ohio State days would give that kind of advice...

    Maybe CC will apologize to the NFL rookies and fans like he did to the OSU fans at his 'emotional' HOF induction.

    Difference is Carter constantly sold himself in media as a leader, as a mentor to younger teammates.
