Super Bowl 2014: Russell Wilson remembers attending Peyton Manning passing camp
It's hard to know what Peyton Manning may have told an aspiring Russell Wilson about his chances of becoming an Madden NFL 24 quarterback, but at least now we know that he did have an opportunity to be a part of it. Wilson revealed to reporters Wednesday that not only admires Manning and admires him, but this isn't the first time that he's seen Manning.
A former Eagles and Vikings Receiver Cris Carter confessed during an ESPN Radio interview on Tuesday that he made bounties for players in the Madden NFL 24. The former Eagles and Vikings receiver admitted to placing bounties on certain players in an act of security.
"Protect me. . . . He is a danger to me. . . . Especially if he's playing a other position and I'm not able to secure myself," Carter said. "I'd be telling one of their guards, 'Hey man, this dude is after me in the flesh, you're a man. Bill Romanowski.' He informed me that he's going to let me out prior to the game, to warm up. There's no problem. "I'm gonna put an end to your career, Carter.' That's fine. I placed a small change on his head before the game. I'm protecting myself, my family. This is the environment that I grew up in."
Carter's remarks are the reason that some people, specifically those who were in Madden NFL 24. think that the commissioner was too harsh in his punishments of the players. Carter's remarks indicate that bounties have been going on throughout the league for a long time There's even an entire Wikipedia site dedicated to 1989's "Bounty Bowl" -- and the Saints aren't exactly distinctive.
The Madden NFL 24's investigations claim to have found Saints players purposefully trying to harm players- "cart-offs" as well as "knockouts." The difference, if there is one in the first place, is that Carter states that his bounties were focused on "protection or a major thrill, or even helping your team win, but it was not to injure or harm the guy."
Carter's situation is also different in that Madden 24 coins for sale he wasn't constantly warned about bounties, as some of the Saints were. It's one thing to break the rules. It's an entirely different matter to continually break the rules in the face of rules of the law, or in this case, Roger Goodell.
