By Michael McCarthy, USA TODAY

ESPN is removing Emmitt Smith from its Sunday NFL Countdown show and replacing him with recent hire Cris Carter. But Smith, who was panned by critics for his on-air performance last season, is not going away completely.

ESPN said Tuesday he'll shift from the two-hour long, Chris Berman-led Countdown at 11 a.m. ET to expanded editions of SportsCenter at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Smith will continue to work the 90-minute Monday Night Countdown from the site of the Monday Night Football game at 7 p.m ET. Carter, the former Inside the NFL analyst for HBO, will also join Smith on Monday Night Countdown.

Minnesota Vikings Legend Cris Carter Faces-off in Fiscal Scrimmage at Republican National Convention
Last update: 3:04 p.m. EDT Sept. 2, 2008

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept 02, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Visa and NFL Money Management Video Game, Already Distributed Nationally to Every Public High School in Sixteen States

Former NFL star and Minnesota Vikings All-Pro Cris Carter joined the Young Republican National Federation, the College Republican National Committee, the National Football League (NFL), PLAYERS INC. and Visa Inc. in an effort to help young adults sharpen their fiscal skills through an interactive money management video game called "Financial Football."

Entering its fourth season, "Financial Football" is the centerpiece of Visa's nationwide education initiative, with the NFL and PLAYERS INC., designed to help students tackle their financial futures. This computer-based game is accompanied by a classroom curriculum and can also be downloaded for free on cell phones. Mobile customers can play the game by texting the word VISA to 24421.

In the Minneapolis Convention Center, Cris Carter rolled up his sleeves and engaged members in a lively game of "Financial Football." In addition to playing "Financial Football," Carter also shared his personal experiences on the importance of money management with students.

"Young people need to know how to make smart money management decisions before heading off to college and entering the workforce," said Carter. "It takes the combined efforts of parents, teachers and mentors within the community to give teenagers a strong background in personal finance."

I've searched for the pas hour, I'm looking for a good picture of Chris Carter in Scarlet & Gray. I'm looking for one that is of him whole, not just his upper body.

Thanks

Yeah, most everything is of him in a Viking's uni. The only ones I found in tOSU garb were small pics.

I caught a little of Cris on Monday Night Countdown yesterday. He was pretty funny. And he repped his alma mater when he talked about being a part of a great rivalry with tOSU and scUM. I hope he enjoys himself over there on "that network." :biggrin:
