Cris Carter on Randy Moss joining the Pro Football Hall of Fame | FIRST THINGS FIRST

[@FirstThingsFirst]

Who do you think belongs in the 2018 Hall of Fame class?

[@GaryTurbo]

It certainly better not be Tom Shady

[@quelgdatniggasmith1091]

First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright They got it Right🏈💯

[@RebelTwGaming]

Sean Lee

[@kickupurple]

All of them, especially Moss :) Why is Jim Marshall not in the HoF? :/

[@viktorlipovka5881]

First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright HOF is nothing, it is garbage.

[@duwayneengram9483]

I got chills watching Randy cry and hearing his family celebrate. Brought my tears to my own eyes.

[@tanksherman9875]

Randy Moss is pound-for-pound the greatest athlete to ever play in the NFL, and the most unstoppable in his prime, and that’s coming from a diehard Packers fan.

[@sydboski]

I think Jim Thorpe (The Greatest athlete ever), Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, and Herschel Walker would have something to say about that.

[@rickysnow400]

Yeah those guys might be better athletes because they were stronger and bigger I guess. There has never been a more dangerous player in the NFL ever. He could score on any play. There has never been anyone as difficult to defend.

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

TANK SHERMAN I will put Walter Payton ahead of Randy Moss as the greatest player in NFL history Randy Moss is a Hall of Famer and a Football 🏈 Legend Him and Cris Carter were the the most awesome WR duo in the league I ever saw

[@navgang-yh4zz]

Chris Carter wouldn't like that

[@louie8202]

Imagine what he could of done if he played 100% every game... remember he had said at one point.. “I play when I want too”. Even on his bad game days.. he was STILL THE BEST IN THE GAME.. I really miss watching him play... players like him are once in a generation... so lucky to have been able to watch him.. AND☝🏽🤓 Randy helped me win several Fantasy FB leagues.. absolutely one of the greatest of all time and right there with Jerry Rice

[@glennlee6274]

Cris Carter and Randy Moss...2 of the best!

[@tclass99]

Watching Randy’s emotion getting the call reminds me of Allen Iverson… both guys were so misunderstood for a good part of their careers but both were ridiculous talents in their sport and both were actually very loving, respectful people deep down. Just hearing Randy say “Thank you Mister Baker”… tells you everything you need to know about the man that he became.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

And unfortunately both never won a championship! 😢

[@Eternal5ent]

Both trendsetters ❤

[@ricklayeux5688]

To Chris Carter, I want to say how much I enjoyed watching you and Moss with Cunningham. You guys were great and that era was one of the Vikings best. So thanks.

[@drew65sep]

I'm lucky enough to have got to watch Randy Moss grow up and follow his career from peewee on to the NFL. No matter the "faults" that have followed him all his life, he's a class act and I consider myself lucky to have watched him. There must be something in the water in the upper Kanawha Valley having produced both Jerry West and Randy Moss. Top shelf.

[@RAID3R63]

Andrew k Adams Jason Williams aka white chocolate

[@bosskey7212]

I'll never forget 1998. Randy Moss, in one season, changed the way defenses covered and he changed the game. When you consider some of the QB's (minus Brady of course) throwing it to him and how he produced despite being double and triple teamed on almost every down he played it's amazing. The one time he had a great QB he put up record numbers. No he didn't win a SB, but that isn't on him, he did his job, and he did it better than pretty much any one. The fact that there are only a few WR's people can compare him to says everything you need to know.

[@mattkelly2004]

I remember watching randy moss in Huntington WV when played for MARSHALL and watched him from draft and now to HALL OF FAME randy moss truly earned this and is one of the best if not the best receiver in NFL history

[@mattthaghostliveactions3068]

My boy is in the Hall of Fame Randy the freak Moss he was the reason I became a Minnesota Vikings fan I was 7 congrats brah u deserve it

[@ralphjohnson1259]

Biggest cowboy mistake ever, passing on randy moss, possibly costed them a superbowl or two.

[@athanasssiosangelopoulos1287]

Was at the giants game when moss threw a touchdown pass to Carter on boxing day,got my 84 signed by Mr moss that day,still have it. Congratulations Mr moss!!!!!

[@cprealone]

Moss was a bad boy! Maybe the most dominant receiver of all time, only guy I saw beat triple coverage deep even when the safety was 30 yards back, unreal speed!

[@RonnieD1970]

As a life long Patriots fan Moss is my favorite non drafted Patriot ever (Dillon, Blount tied for second, Amendola & Vrable 3rd and Junior 4th). I remember when Moss was a rookie and I dreamed of the Pats having a beast like that. Love that guy RAND UNIVERSITY!

[@everetttanner1343]

CC helped build Mr.Moss i love this.

[@FreeBird-111]

That was amazing. I take back everything I said about Randy Moss. I see a man getting that big break in life, that big knock on the door, that life changing phone call, that we all hope to get some day. Congratulations Randy.

[@SeenaTabatabai]

I'm not much of a football fan but Randy Moss has some serious focus and concentration he shouldn't let it go to waste.

[@LuckyDuckie115]

I was hoping CC wouldn't make this about him....I was wrong lol

[@joshhighwind9886]

Dennis Vu, because he gave the perspective of being a hall of famer and gave an insight of what it would do to Randy's life? Lol.

[@marioraic7952]

no, because he starts his commentary with a statement about the ways HE influenced and molded randy - i call that "stealing thunder"

[@joshhighwind9886]

Mario Raic, CC has nothing but respect for Moss.. he even said when Moss was drafted that he was the most gifted and talented receiver he ever seen. Lol so he can't mention being teammates with him? And he did help mold him into being a better player. They made eachother better

[@bennyhath1789]

I can't stop laughing at the picture they used

[@rickbruner]

Although I have great overall respect for Carter, I agree with you. The way he phrased it was more about him getting his due for "trying to make him (Moss) a better person, a better football player." That sounds a bit condescending, as if Moss couldn't have done it without him. Maybe he couldn't have. Maybe Carter and Dennis Green made a life changing difference for Moss. But on Moss' big day, Carter could have said something to the effect that "we all saw his potential as a player and a person and I, personally, worked very hard to help him develop that as a teammate and a friend. It's gratifying to me to see the man Randy has become, especially in the last few years. He's grown a lot." That sounds a lot less egocentric.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

We were so lucky as Vikings fans to have Randy Moss and Cris Carter on our team for 4 years. Randy Moss was a spectacle, he made watching football games on Sunday much more exciting. Watching him catch the long bombs against the Packers in the dome was a feeling I haven't felt since watching football.

[@f22raptoreagle]

MOSS THE GREATEST WR EVER

[@netrade3898]

Rice with the leaping ability of Michael Jordan. Enough said.

Just a great moment Randy Moss deserves it so happy for him

He deserves it, he shouldve gotten a Super Bowl ring

[@Cheeze410]

He should have had 2 or 3 rings

[@anthonybaratta6152]

@@Cheeze410 they wouldn’t have beaten Denver… Not. A chance

[@KORYANDRELSCOTT-yh7lr]

Randy missed out on 2 Super Bowl Rings by a total of 6 points. Super Bowl XLII Giants 17 - Patriots 14 Super Bowl XLVII Ravens 34 - 49ERS 31 Smh! I’m still happy Randy Moss got his well deserved Hall of Fame Jacket and Ring though.

[@soloone8158]

What a pleasure it was to watch Mr. Moss hear that he was forever going to be enshrined in Clanton ,Ohio. Also what a joy to hear his family in the background giving thanks to GOD on high. It's just like scripture says. The exalted shall be humbled. And the humbled shall be exalted. And because of Randy's humbleness GOD has exalted him before man. God bless you Mr. Moss. No one I mean no one is more deserving than you. And I believe that you really do know and appreciate the magnitude of all your accomplishments through out your spectacular career. Congrats to you on your enshrinement into the NFL Hall of Fame.

[@amznasian]

idk about that i mean think about it why is it every time a team wins some player praises god saying oh he gave me the strength to win this game but when they lose they blame themselves? so when they win its all gods doing but when they lose its all themselves? seems kinda demeaning if you ask me you win because of hard work not because of god.... and if you truly believe it was gods work then thank him for helping you lose too cant have your cake and eat it too..

[@Bran-Da-Don]

Randy Moss was the only receiver who was open if he was tripled covered.

[@warriorofgod8188]

He earned his Statue 💯💯

[@andrethegiant2877]

They used say if a new QB was starting for the late 90's Vikings, "He's got the keys to the Ferrari". Loaded O-line, Robert Smith in his prime (fastest HB in the league), Jake Reed and the best WR duo in the history of the NFL (best hands ever in CC, best deep threat ever in Moss).

[@darnelljefferson8617]

How is Randy Moss a first ballot & not TO? Not that he didn’t deserve it. He was the most freakishly athletic wideout to ever play the game. He was so popular the phase “You got Mossed” became nation wide. Congrats to him & the rest of the 2018 class.

[@dazedvirgo5828]

I find it funny that he cares. This man has accomplished more off the field. A wife, beautiful children, friends, financial security, health, he's already got everything he needs.

[@Shhhh....DaMoviesOn]

That was awesome great to have been able to watch his career and the things he went through in college and throughout his professional career.

[@jweezy5490]

Moss I definitely a first ballot hof, made me laugh when people said he shouldn't get in

[@andrewb4984]

Chris Carter: Randy moss gets into the hall of fame and I would just like to congratulate.... MYSELF for all the high fives I gave him that got him in there. Thanks for not making this about you, CC.

[@gregaj7]

I'm pleased with Moss's reaction to being told. I concur with Carter's statement on the list for 2018, and I actually recognize every name. As a side note, it's not supposed to be easy to get in. It's supposed to be very hard, with very high standards.

[@StunnafulPhotography]

Amen! Nice to see Moss get in! You can tell it's been a long tough road for him judging by his emotions, but he finally made it in! 😊

[@billharvell]

dippster357 You don't know what the f*** you're talking about. Moss didn't need CC to be the GOAT and get into the HOF, as much as CC would like to believe that. Lol.

@@billharvell bro you don't know these two then. Jordan needed Pippen and Moss needed CC.

[@billharvell]

@@juicemanjerry You're an idiot. Moss didn't NEED Carter. Moss was going to be great/goat regardless of Carter. Yes, as a veteran Carter mentored rookie Moss and Carter was an awesome receiver too. But he was no Randy Moss. I had a lot of respect for Carter as a player but I think he's jealous of Moss.

[@mnight207]

Randy Moss definitely executed his talent the best I have ever seen in the NFL. I think that should be the discussion. There are people more talented who dont ever use their talent or reach maximum potential and there are people who have next to no talent and are super hard workers.

[@aaronedlund4008]

I have the honor of meeting Chris Carter and Randy Moss Rookie year at Denny's Green's day camp that Todd Stussie put on

[@deanladue3151]

After the 2001 season, the Vikings moved on from many of their veteran players and were only relevant because of Randy, as a QB Culpepper could be unpredictable. Good one week, not so good the next. That's where Randy Moss impressed me the most. He kept those 2002-2004 Viking teams relevant and always a threat to beat any team.

[@Yun_Gluv]

That's a blessing

[@leonardshevlin7260]

Jerry Kramer was a (pulling) guard and Ken Bowman was Bart Starr's center. Kramer was also a place kicker, of course.

[@anthonybaratta6152]

Bruh… that’s fine you think that but you’re wrong… Rice has 3 rings… Moss has 0… Rice didn’t cause drama… Moss was a notorious trouble maker…. They’re 1-2 but Rice will always be 1… no one outworked him… no one had better hands or ran cleaner routes…

The WR's'/TE's will be the toughest category to get in. It will be the same with the DB's. Look at the WR's still on the ballot: Hines Ward, Ike Bruce, Torry Holt are still on the ballot. Look at the names that will start coming up: Tony Gonzalez (2019), Reggie Wayne (2020), Calvin Johnson (2021), Andre Johnson and Steve Smith, Sr. (2022). The interesting names to watch are TE's Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten . Larry Fitzgerald and TE's Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Gates, and Jimmy Graham five years after they play their last games. You would think they are shoo ins. Remember, this is the NFL . We all thought T.O. and a few others were shoo ins to get in on the first ballot. We all know what happened.

One thing I'll never understand about Hall of Fame voters? Is voting on someone 3, 4 5 times. It makes no sense. Either you had a HOF career or you didn't. They do this in all the major sports.

[@elliottmorreau8374]

It's because they do a ballot of enlistment. . . 'who is better' A HOFer can be a HOFer and just be up against an extremely good class.

Because the voting pool may be so deep and they have a limited amount of slots that somebody no matter how great of a career they had gets left out. It just part of the process.
