Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter is widely recognized as one of the greatest NFLers to never win a Super Bowl championship, and he's not afraid to dissect the only accomplishment missing on an otherwise flawless career.
Carter - a co-host for First Things First on Fox Sports - had a hilarious explanation as to why he never hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. You can watch the video here (WARNING: includes expletive language that some may find offensive).
"You know why I didn't win one (a Super Bowl)? Because I didn't (expletive) win one," Carter said. "We didn't play well enough. We weren't good enough."
Carter was bringing it up while discussing former Seattle Seahawks star Cliff Avril accusing head coach Pete Carroll of ruining a potential dynasty with his ill-advised decision to have Russell Wilson throw the ball at the end of Super Bowl 49.
The pass from the one-yard line was picked off by Malcolm Butler, and Seattle hasn't made the Super Bowl since. Avril added that the players began losing faith in Carroll, and a handful of core players have been released this offseason - notably Avril and Richard Sherman.
As for Carter, the eight-time Pro Bowler never appeared in a Super Bowl. He spent three years with mediocre Philadelphia Eagles teams then joined the Minnesota Vikings, where Carter's career took off.
His best chance came in the 1998 season, when the Vikings - led by Carter, Randy Moss and quarterback Randall Cunningham - won 15 games and set a record for points scored in a season with 556.
However, Gary Anderson missed a field goal in the waning minutes of the NFC Championship Game against the Atlanta Falcons - which would have certainly sealed a ticket to Super Bowl 33. The Falcons would tie the game and won in overtime.
Carter and Moss were one of the most frightening receiving duos ever, but neither were able to get their hands on the Super Bowl. This time, Carter gave a hilarious and priceless explanation for why he came up short of the ultimate goal.
