Cris Carter advising rookies on how to cover up crime.

A former NFL player who is in the Hall of Fame and covers the league for ESPN advised rookies at a league orientation event last year to 'have a fall guy' who would be willing to go to jail for them. Ex-wide receiver Cris Carter was a speaker at the 2014 Rookie Symposium and the comments he made while addressing NFC rookies alongside Hall of Famer Warren Sapp were recorded on video. They came to light when Chris Borland, who retired because of concussion concerns after being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round last year, mentioned them during an interview. During the orientation event, Carter, who was wearing his Hall of Fame blazer at the time, said: 'In case y'all not going to decide to do the right thing. 'If y'all got a crew, you got to have a fall guy in the crew.' Sapp, who apparently did not have a 'fall guy' for himself during his post-Super Bowl arrest for soliciting and assaulting prostitutes, began laughing and took a seat. Carter then brought Teddy Bridgewater, a rookie quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings last season, up on stage and used him as an example. He continued: 'Because all you guys aren't going to do the right stuff. 'I need to teach to you how to get around all of this stuff too. '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.' Sapp repeated, 'We'll get him out.' Bridgewater sheepishly confirmed he would have a guy and Carter let him take a seat. Carted added: 'I know a lot of you aren't going to drink. 'I know a lot of you aren't going to use drugs and that you are going to go to bible study... 'I realize that. But still get yourself a fall guy. 'Make sure they understand, can't nothing happen to you. 'Your name can 't be in lights, under no circumstances.' Link...

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".

How about world peace ?
