David Carr Apologizes For 'Insensitive' Tweet In Wake Of Henry Rugg III News

After news broke Tuesday that Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs III was involved in a deadly car accident, former Texans quarterback David Carr was at the center of a firestorm for his tweet promoting his brother as the league's MVP.

Carr, who is an analyst for NFL Network, predicted that the Raiders will make the Super Bowl and made a bombastic claim that his brother Derek Carr should be awarded NFL MVP

“When the Raiders make the Super Bowl this year, I will argue, successful I might add, that not only is Derek the MVP, I will make the case there has NEVER been a more valuable player,” Carr tweeted.
