ESPN opened tonight’s edition of Monday Night Countdown with an apology from analyst Cris Carter over his comments from the 2014 rookie symposium that came to light over the weekend.
Carter, who said at the symposium that young players should have a “fall guy” to take the blame if they’re ever in trouble with the law, said tonight that he regrets what he said.
“It’s really hard to go through my thought process,” Carter said. “I can’t make an excuse for what my mindset was. My heart was in the right place. I didn’t use words that I was very proud of.
