Huh. I actually kind of liked that dorky show. I noticed they have had guys like Chris Canty and Bart Scott filling in, but I figured it was temporary. I see the blogosphere says he wanted a role on Thursday Night Football.

Sounds like Cris Carter pissed off the wrong people.

Cris Carter always seemed like such a self-important douchebag.

Ya, the Big Lead reported late last week that he was on suspension after getting into a blow up with management about not being on TNF coverage this year and they figured it was headed for separation.


Here is a link about him cleaning out his desk this week under supervision of security.

Apparently Fox Sports had a fall guy... Chris Carter.

He was pissed he wasn’t a bigger part off the Fox NFL telecasts. He was stuck on a cable morning show. It’s rumored Gronkowski on the Thursday night studio show set Carter off, and he got physical with some Fox execs over his role.

Cris Carter...Michael Irvin...both these guys are a disruption on the talk shows..They never shut up, talk over people and cut people off... I end up changing the channel because it is so annoying...

I wouldn't compare those two. But I do see why Irvin has been shown the door three separate times.

As another poster said, Carter likely pissed off the wrong person.

I'm curious what role he expected in TNF. The group they have is perfectly fine and it's not like Carter would have added anything extra to them.

Who doesn't like a bit of yayo every now and then.


This slightly reminds me of the Trent Dilfer/private plane situation. When ESPN had to put him in his place and he was quickly shown the exit door.

To be fair, I can't remember ever seeing Cris Carter on TV doing anything besides actually playing football and thinking "Cris Carter is adding something positive to this broadcast."
