Cris Carter advising rookies on how to cover up crime.

It was like he was trying to remind these guys that they have a lot more to lose than the guys who want to follow them around, and unless those guys are willing to sacrifice just as much as they will lose, don't hang with them.

He talked about protecting their "brand" and if those guys want to hang out with you, "they're gonna be the one driving, they're gonna be the one with the drugs" - inferring that these guys are gonna wanna hang out with these rookies, but that those rooks have the nice cars to drive, have the money to buy the drugs, these other guys don't - they're(the NFL players) are the ones who are being put as the "fall guy" for their crew.

Exactly how I understood it the first time I heard it, which feels like a long ass time ago.

CC wasn't endorsing crime as much as he was reminding the guys that he knows they're still gonna kick it with their "crews" when that's typically already bad news.

I'll tell you who this talk was NOT intended for: Chris Borland. Or anyone else from a privileged background that has nothing to fear when returning home.

All billionaires have fall guys. When a corporation Fs up the fall guy gets it

Still wasn't the right thing to say. The message to the rookies should never change. Ever. Yeah, I know, it's as boring as freak. It's the same boring missive that came from Nancy Reagan and her advice on drugs: "Just say no."

But saying "stay out of trouble" is still the responsible move and I know, deep down inside, that you agree.

Just my worthless two pennies on the issue.

Not to fault your screen name, but like many Niner fans, I've got a big problem with T.O. Yes, he will forever be remembered for beating the hated Packers when it counted. That pass and catch from Young to Owens is one of the greatest in Niner history. But he also abandoned us when we really needed him. And I will always remember him for what he is in my mind: a traitor.

And, I disagree with you. Aldon had MANY issues with the law. If it had been one or two, "oh well," we would say. But even a "fall guy" wouldn't have saved Aldon from falling off that cliff. That's what fall guys are for. Fall guys not only "take the blame," they keep the name out of trouble. They prevent trouble from happening.

Aldon was trouble. Day in, day out, Aldon was trouble.

I'm just fooling around. The advice should have been stay away from trouble you have a target as a pro athlete. Don't trust these women don't trust these random joes.

I can agree w that position, not sure even a "fall guy" wouldve helped Aldon unfortunately.

it wouldnt

he purchased the guns
he made the comment in the airport
he crashed the car alone

Seeing some of the comments in here from posters about actual real life and then seeing the same posters and what they say in the NT all makes sense

This x 1000000.........................

Good advice.

it happens, not just in the pro's and college ...back in the 80's , me and the other seniors on our HS football team had underclassmen follow us around , and when one of us was accused of "smoking a cigarette", "playing pranks on the teachers " or other dumb $hit that like, the younger kids would take the blame for us , and would gladly do it ...

Agreed.

How about they, I dont know...NOT COMMIT CRIMES? That would be the best way to avoid getting negative press. And you wouldnt need a "fall guy".
