Just received word that “The Rae Carruth Story: 10 Years Later’’ will air on Outside the Lines on Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN.

Here’s the quick summary that was sent out as part of the preview:

“A decade after then-Carolina Panther's receiver Rae Carruth commissioned the shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend, the couple's son delivered at six months in the aftermath of the shooting, suffers from cerebral palsy. The bullets missed the unborn baby, but oxygen to his brain was cut off. Now, 10, Chancellor Adams has learned to walk more than 150 steps without assistance. And the man who pulled the trigger that fateful day is seeking forgiveness for committing the crime that landed him a 50-year prison sentence. For his part, Carruth is not talking.’’

Carruth has refused all media requests since the incident took place. “The man who pulled the trigger’’, according to what transpired in the trial is Van Brett Watkins and he does speak. Watkins confessed to the shooting and testified against Carruth to avoid the death penalty. If you remember anything about the trial, you’ll recall that Watkins is a very outspoken person. That hasn’t changed.

“I don't like Rae Carruth. I probably would do something to Rae Carruth if I seen him,’’ Watkins said in a television interview from prison.

Thanks for posting dpanthers, not sure if I'll check it out though... F*ck Rae Carruth. I hope that bitch has gotten his ass ripped a new one in prison, repeatedly. He's a piece of sh*t.

I was curious about Carruth's background after seeing The Observer's story on Chancellor and had googled him... I found some crazy stuff. I think one site gathered some of its info from someone who had wrote him as a pen pal while he's been in prison. I learned a lot of stuff that I had never heard before when all of it happened (I mean, I was like 14 or 15 when it happened, so don't remember a lot).

But, I didn't know Carruth already had children with another woman in Cali before he met Cherica. I also didn't know Cherica was a stripper (don't remember the media ever reporting that), but it made her no less of a person in this situation. I also didn't know when the cops came to serve the warrant or question him within a few days after the shooting that he answered the door naked with another woman in the bed. He really is garbage.

Also, the story The Observer did on Chancellor was heartbreaking. Just think of what that kid could've done and been had his dad not been a psycho, murderous, heartless dickhead... Most likely, he never would've had any of the problems he's having now and been perfectly healthy. Rae Carruth is a disgusting excuse for a human being.

I'm off my soapbox now...

I dont either. I just happened to be flipping through the channels one day and saw the video piece on Carruth then they interviewed Sherikas moms afterwards. She said Carruth is still denying what he did and she wanted him to get help. They talked to the kid but he could barely talk because of his condition. Like I said this was a few years ago.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
