In a world of all-encompassing sports media, it’s no surprise someone prominent has already said something stupid about the sucker punch that will sideline New York Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith for 6-10 weeks. It’s also of little surprise that said person was ESPN’s Cris Carter.
The Hall of Famer (seriously, how did that happen, HOF voters?) opted for the tried and true “blame the victim” rationale, but not with a semi-defensible “Geno should have walked away” explanation but with a knock of Smith’s locker room leadership. Read the quote here, but if you want the full Carter experience imagine it’s written all in CAPS.
