Former Vol Dale Carter barely remembers playing football

[BornonRockyTop]

I was always a huge fan of his growing up and he had some awesome years for the Chiefs in the NFL but in this interview he seems pretty dire.

He comes on at the 8 minute mark and, according to this hosts, this is his first interview since retiring from football in 2005.

Dang....in 1990, his kickoff return to open the second half against Gators was awesome! Vols won that one 45-3.

We b bad 2 da bone!

Sounds like Dale Carter has moved on from being a football player since he retired in 2005. He said he was living in Georgia with his daughter spending time with her. I can see how he might think other things are more important in life now than football.

 

[joelkthx]

How, exactly, does he sound "dire"? All he said is that he doesn't watch tons of football since he retired. When you retire from your job as a plumber, do you want to spent your time watching someone unclog toilets?

There was nothing AT ALL sad or out of place in this interview. Quit trying to manufacture problems that don't exist.

Dale Carter was a heat seeking missile at the CB position.
BTW Eric Berry is a'15 All-Pro !

Sounds to me like Dale survived the many years of hard knocks as a Vol and a Chief just fine. Works with intercity kids, spends time with his daughter. That's OK by me.

 

[Sin City Vol]

I remember him and Carl Pickens were defensive and offensive NFL Rookies of the Year the same year. Back in the glory days of Tennessee Football

Dire? How the heck did you come to that conclusion?

Doctors don't watch doctor shows, Lawyers don't watch lawyer shows and Vets don't watch veterinary shows.

.....as a general rule.

I'm not sure about Football Players, maybe a bit different.

Bizarre. I didn't think the interview was that big a deal.

OP's comprehension skills dire IMO.

With a history of substance abuse, domestic violence, bankruptcy etc its not out of this world to assume that there is a reason that he is far removed from football that do not include just taking care of his daughter.

The two dorks conducting the interview are the lowlight, not Dale Carter.

Not quite, but he is in the Pro Bowl. An amazing accomplishment.

I remember CJM saying Carter was someone you wouldn't wan to meet in a dark alley. Always thought that was an odd comment to make about one of your players.

 

[wmcovol]

Hell, I wonder if the OP even listened to the interview. DC sounded just fine but has moved on from football. Nothing "dire" or dramatic to make of it.

One thing I remember about him was he would knock the piss out of you.

Pretty sure majors said much worse about him. Maybe even at halftime one game

Ravens acquire controversial CB Dale Carter - Baltimore - Scout

Carter had major problems after college. See Link Above.
I actually bought his SEC Championship ring on eBay several years ago. It's amazing how many players get into financial and substance abuse trouble.

 

[tomballvol]

I thought the thread was about him having such severe brain damage from football that he couldn't remember much about playing.

Tell him he was good

 

[LA vol7]

GREAT! player for the Vols and in the pros! One of the most exciting players to ever wear the orange! Great interview. Glad to hear that he is so settled in life now. So many guys never adjust to life after football, but obviously he has and good for him!

And this would be the problem with your whole statement.
