No link, was listening to Mike & Mike on way to the office, they had Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens on. Owens said Carter from what he's heard around the league, "had to beg to get in the HoF!"

Idk, TO has better numbers so he will get in. Carter deserves to be in, but at the same time, ESPN has really helped inflate Carter's ego. Guy is a drug abuser, bad team mate, wife beater, and crooked little dude. I remember when he told rookies to always have a "fall guy."

And sired an incredibly lazy son in Duron Carter.

I thought this years ago when Carter got in. The year before he got in, the ballots were released and he didn't get in. Then ESPN spent the whole week basically shaming the HOF for not putting him in.

I think Carter is a HOF'er but I always wonder how guys feel when they have to beg to get in. Wouldn't you want to get in on merit, not because you called in some favors?

This turned me off on Carter forever. He gets on ESPN and tries to preach like he is holier than thou, and then you see his true colors along with the felon Warren Sapp telling the rookies to have a fall guy when the cops find your drugs.

What a role model. It's sad that the fall guy incident has been washed over by the media. I thought he should have hung for that.

I hate pretty much 100% of ESPN content and personalities (especially CC), but what does all of that have to do with being one of the best football players?

I don't have any problem with Cris Carter, but he's one of the least deserving HOFers IMO. Terrell Owens will get in so he shouldn't be worried, most likely the hall is making him wait a year bc he wasn't a "good representation of the league" or something to that effect

He also said why he does not have respect for him by talking about him to others and not to him. I have respect for TO as a player and as a person. He does not seem to hide things.

Chad Johnson is being very insightful also.

This is a very good idea to have "stars" come in an "open forum".

Funny he would say this on Mike and Mike considering that Greenberg was the one bitching and complaining at every turn about Carter not being in the HOF.

That had to hurt Mike and Mike. The arse kissing that goes on when Carter comes on is unbearable

The fact that Kenny Stabler is just NOW getting in is atrocious. He should've been able to speak for himself at his induction. What a shame.

But then we're letting Carter in so quickly? bullshite
