It was a thing. We went over it a lot on here. I don't really want to bring up the name of the person who I think was responsible for bringing it to our attention tho.

I wasn't a member of this forum then so I am really not familiar with any of this or the underlying insider narrative.

Yep. That had to be one of the weirdest episodes in the long tragicomic misery that is the various Raider forums we've been arguing on.

Hell, I think I may have joined the old site in 2006 and that made me late to the party. I know I was there in 2008 when we began the "purple drink" experiment.

Well, that was some time ago, in a galaxy far far away, but yea, that was one of the strangest blips we witnessed.

No and neither is the guy championing that it did not happen. But why would someone make it up? For attention? Hell, that is too random even for Random to have made up. I wonder every so often where Random went. Oh wait, Pryor retired. That explains that.

But Carr also "invented" pool basketball. I remember the jokes that if football did not work out he could start a league.

OK, so people on here supposedly think he played "9 hours of video every day during the off season" but no trace of it on the internet?...gotcha.

Long story short a person joined the site and was known for two things.
1. Posting tons of videos from various social media sites of Carr playing video games.
2. At the high level: starting up a Fantasy Football league here and it was leaked that he had actually "died" through intermediates. Then proceeded to abscond with the league fees.

Now I know times are tough on the street and all, but pocketing maybe $200-300?

no, nobody said every day, just a lot of days. And now people are coming forward confirming that they saw the stuff. So yea

Gotcha lol

if memory serves, it was 1100 bucks in one league and a bit less in the other.

Well that certainly changes the narrative.

Grand Theft Raiders, rated AO.

People blew it way, way out of proportion, as if a person should have zero time for themselves and their family. Before I retired from my line of work the only thing I could do to take my mind off was to play Elden Ring because it made me not think of work.

How one chooses to spend their very limited amount of free time is their own business (assuming it's not destructive).

Carr's problem was his unwillingness to work on the basics of his game. lt was the equivalent of an OT leaning everything except how to set his feet.

When I was on the Pro Sports Daily forum there was a lot of scorn when Carr did the silly rap video advertisement for a local credit union. It was around that same time the Carr's lack of toughness on the field was becoming evident.

There was a poster who went by the screen name themadstork that was pretty down on Carr from day one, in fact he refereed to Derek as "Charmin."

I wish Stork would have matriculated here. He was always on point and had some solid takes.

A couple of you Carrstans still got your panties twisted up over the video games thing. Get ovah it already.

[raidersince63]

So in summation, the ONLY place that supposed evidence can be found of Carr "playing videos 9 hours a day during off season" (it can't) was on this message board?

The Carr hatred knows no bounds.

It was a tough time for all.

No, you didn't say "a lot of days"...your exact words were "9 or more hours a day".

Here you go;


"They had to dummy down the playbook for the guy. It is well documented that a guy who was paid 20M a year spent 9 or more hours a day playing a fcking video game. Hell he posted youtube videos of him doing so until someone outed him for not bothering learn his job in the offseason. Once your season is over, that does not mean you don't work. He did not."


...remember now?

I'm not saying Carr was not a disappointment because he was. I'm just saying your claim about him is not true. You could have easily ended this by saying that you simply misspoke, but instead. you kept doubling down.
