Who gives a motherfuck what he was or wasn't on ESPN?
Duron's problems are his own. He's still playing professional football so I'm sure his dad is embarrassed.

WTF

I love the Buckeye homers who try to shout down anything they perceive as negative about a Buckeye. I graduated from OSU. I am a Buckeye, but not a homer for anyone, so if I speak my opinion you'll just have to live with it. it is still sad that anyone can screw up OSU and Alabama
and Florida Atlantic with the kind of talent that kid has. It not just Carter on ESPN pregame. It's all of them w/ the exception of tom Jackson.

You plucked a post from 2006 saying Cris was a great Buckeye and person for doing some speaking engagement for free and ranted about a channel few here watch.
There are plenty of posts in Duron Carter's thread, and plenty of them aren't praise.

He was a great receiver but one of the poorest analyst on ESPN I have ever seen.
Nothing comes out of his mouth that is worthwhile. He evidently did not instill the proper work ethic in his son who had great potential a football player and screwed it up at 2 schools.

So you define him based not on his professional career, but what how you felt he fit into a media outfit ?
And you want to call everyone else delusional ?
Then you try to bash b/c his son had academic issues? As an EE that served 5 years in the Marine Corps with asthma, I can appreciate extremely well that not everyone is gifted with elite intelligence and elite athleticism. I was gifted with far more of the former; perhaps Duron is the latter. Unless you're a student athlete competing at an elite level, I don't think you're in a position to judge anyone.
If you really did go to Ohio State, you're probably like most college students who major in something utterly worthless to society in general (History, Art, Business) and with a sub-3.5 gpa. I don't begrudge kids like Katzenmoyer or Duron for their "lack" of IQ being less than 2 standard deviations above the norm, as I'm sure they wouldn't look down on me for not being an elite athlete.
I'm not aware of any character issues; unlike many other athletes across the country. He's also got a steady job in the CFL. As a result, I fail to see how his issues as a student-athlete reflects on Cris as a father.
It sounds more like you have an axe to grind to me. You can take that as somebody whose a "homer"; or just somebody who lives in reality. If you want to criticize the man, there's no lack of material regarding the nature in which he left Ohio State and what happened in the NFL. I don't see any reason to take cheap shots regarding his kid or some meaningless media program.

Baddest dude I ever met in person in my life. I met Jerry Lucas at the Rosedale Summer leagues back in the early 90's when I was playing a lot of basketball, and that was incredible. I met Arnold Swartzenegger when I was bodybuilding in 1998 at the Arnold Classic in Columbus- also fantastic considering the entire event.
But. Knowing Cris Carter as a Middletown alum and seeing what he can do both on the basketball court and the football field...... unforgettable. Best hands in the history of football in the U.S. and I don't feel like I'm stretching that one single bit.
