Cris Carter Is a Good Mentor (VIDEO)

Video surfaced of Cris Carter giving a mentor speech to incoming NFL rookies in 2014 including some solid advice on making sure you have somebody tagged in your posse who will take the fall for you if you ever get arrested.

If you all got a crew, you got to have a fall guy in the crew. If you all have a crew, one of those fools got to know, he’s the one going to jail. We’ll get him out.

In a recent interview Chris Borland prematurely retired of the 49ers mentioned how the comment shocked him when he heard it at the 2014 event. That’s also when the NFL learned the video with Cris Carter’s comments was still sitting live on their website. They responded by quickly punching the video in the face then smothering it to death.

Despite the fact that BJ hooker confessor Warren Sapp is heard amen-ing Cris Carter’s fall guy advice on the tape, isn’t this actually solid advice? It’s one thing to stand up in front of a group that contains at least one-third pure hoodlum destined for arrest and tell them to be good citizens and watch their behavior. That’s never worked. Much more practical to let them know that when the domestic abuse or running drugs or automatic weapons and sexual assault charges occur, let Benny from P.S. 173 know that you’ll hook him up solid for doing your time. Tackles don’t happen by themselves. Sometimes touchdowns do. Listen to Cris Carter. And somebody please shoot the guy with the camera.
