After the Super Bowl, Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin had to get something off his chest. ESPN's Cris Carter had labeled Seattle's receiving corps "an appetizer" (as in, the offense was lacking a main course), and when Baldwin was reminded about the quote after the game, he didn't hold back:
From the Everett Herald:
“OK, y’all listen to me loud and clear,” he said. “Y’all listening? Y’all hear me? For all y’all who called us, the receiving corps, average, pedestrian, appetizers—I’m not going to say any names, but he knows who he is—I respect what you did on the field, but stick to playing football, because your analytical skills ain’t up to par yet. You need to slow down and go back and not do it half-assed and put some effort into it, because you’re saying some stuff that didn’t really make sense.”
“That dude who said that we were appetizers, he told me to Google him, and I did Google him, but I didn’t see any Super Bowl appearances, and I also saw two losses in conference championships. I have a Super Bowl ring, and I would gladly show that to him. And if he doesn’t have time to come see it, tell him he can Google it.”
While Baldwin didn't mention Carter by name, it doesn't take much to figure out who he's talking about here.
