Former Vikings WR Cris Carter Calls Out Vikings WR Sidney Rice

Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice has said a number of times that his work with Cardinals All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald and former Viking Cris Carter in the Twin Cities last summer helped propel him to his first Pro Bowl. Carter gave Rice some tough love during Fitzgerald's summer workouts for NFL players and Rice took those words to heart and improved his work ethic according to Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Rice said he would follow a similar plan this summer and workout with Fitzgerald/Carter again, but so far he has not made an appearance at the camp held at the University of Minnesota and that brought an interesting response from Carter after Thursday's workout when asked what is the challenge for Rice this season coming off his first Pro Bowl year. "I don’t know," Carter said. "You have to ask him. I don’t know what it’s like to have one good year and then disappear. I don’t know what it’s like. That’s on him. I really don’t know. … If I had that kind of impact on him he should have been here today." Carter's response prompted another media member to ask if he is mad that Rice has not returned to workout with the group. "I don’t look mad do I?" he said. "I don’t get mad about kids coming or not coming. Larry is the only one who invited me. Larry is the only one but some people in Kansas City as far as their administration kind of knew I was going to be here. We kind of let them know that I would be here for [receiver Dwayne] Bowe. But I’m here for Larry. Everybody else is just getting the benefit of our relationship. But Sidney is not here so I guarantee he’s not getting no better today."

It seems like not a month passes without Cris Carter calling out somebody.

what Cris didn't know is the only reason Sidney didn't go was because he is hurt.

eh, that's debateable. this whole 'injury' thing is a little iffy. it may just be an excuse.

I saw signs of Rice being a diva last season and the more and more things like this that happen make me believe that he's a pussy who won't play with the slightest bit of pain and really doesn't have the desire to be great.

I'm not saying for sure that the kid is lazy or weak, but more and more signs are pointing to it so just be careful defending this guy too much .....................

Its Percy Harvin with the migraines, he missed one game. And saying he was "unwilling to play through" could be like saying someone is unwilling to play through a broken leg.

well, then maybe both of the vikes WR's are pussies if one won't play with migraines and the other won't play with hip pain.

My wife and i both have migraines and i have a bad hip. my wife and i still go to work with migraines and i still chase my kids around and coach with a bad hip...........

i'm not saying whether it's a legit injury or not, i'm just saying a 'hip' that has had 5 months to heal and didn't require surgery probably shouldn't keep a guy off the field ......... just my opinion though.
