Great advice? Even better image of childhood "heroes?" Or downright ignorant?

And this is what passes for heroes to children and some adults? Why not just NOT BREAK THE LAW?

Cris Carter told NFL rookies to get 'fall guy' for when they get in legal trouble

One part of the Chris Borland story by ESPN The Magazine that didn't fit with the rest of the tale but was still pretty surprising was Borland's "fall guy" story.

MSG Private RallyPoint Member, this was a very interesting story and one that I believe to be very true. I've heard similar stories like this before. Group of guys and one of them has a chance to make it big, then the others cover for his mistakes I hopes of being monetarily taken care of in the future.

I am not a bit surprised. Carter was a standout guy on the field but had no desire to do the right thing off the field. I hope the league hangs him for that. But they're still in a pissing match over deflated footballs so this may go unnoticed.
