Quincy, you may remember, followed the Ricky Williams career arc — washed out of the NFL, bounced to the CFL, and finally got dumped by the Montreal Alouettes with what was termed a “serious marijuana problem.” In 2006 he was busted — oddly enough in Irving, Texas, home of the Cowboys — but was released after a Dallas talk-show host posted his bond. Carter then went to the arenafootball2 league (we never heard of it, either) and briefly excelled before this latest incident. As of this writing, he has just checked into the Hanley Center rehab clinic in West Palm Beach, Florida. His career now seems pretty much done. Sad stuff.
When he’s not googling “Houston, we have problems” and “foul playbook,” Matt Taibbi writes for Rolling Stone. He can be reached atM_Taibbi@yahoo.com.
