Looks like Chris was a victim of poorly chosen time management. Rather than give that advice out individually he chose to try and get it to every rookie at once.

Shop talk. Not ment for public ears.

and yet, the NFL posted this video on the website for over a year... and are only now claiming it was inappropriate, once hand was caught in the cookie jar.

Sadly, some NFL players (who do not do it the right way), could learn from his comments. However, these are not the type players you want on a team.

I have never thought of C Carter as a class act. He belongs in the same group as Sapp, and the two of them make a real team

cheesebeef, since you are a tv writer I figure you might remember...

What was the name of that TV show about pro football that the NFL had a fit over, and got it cancelled after one season, because they thought it too negative about player behavior?

Playmakers on ESPN?

Yeah, that's what it was. The writers for that show were actually too tame for what has come since in misconduct by NFL players.

"I let my own boys know … y'all want to keep rolling like this," Carter says in the video. "Then I need to know who's going to be the fall guy, who's going to be driving. Y'all not going to do all the right stuff now. I got to teach y'all how to get around all this stuff."

Disgusting.

go ahead and get in trouble.... Just make sure you have a guy to take the fall for your actions.

Carter is a tool. Never liked the guy.

CC(not Campbell :)) is getting killed here in Columbus today. I guess this explains why his kid was kicked out of both OSU and Alabama.

Wow. So Chris Borland wasn't just vindicated, but publicly so. I cannot believe NFL.com had this posted.

I dont think its that big a deal, more that its an unwritten thing then something spoken. More on the NFL for posting the video then CC saying it.

Besides we all have a fall guy dont we. TJ is mine! :)

This isn't news. What else is a posse for? The fact that I still call them a posse gives away my age, but it's been that way forever. The rat pack had their own posse, so did many of the great athletes going back pretty much forever. That's what a posse is for. They're not just hangers-on, though that's what they excel at, they're primarily runners to get the drugs and alcohol and women. Dudes like Chris Carter and Michael Irvin aren't getting all that coke and all those women on their own. It's not like they're making a lot of phone calls. When you're that famous you need a team of highly trained invididuals with specific skills.

Every time you think Ballers on HBO is over the top, just read today's actual NFL headline
