Ex-NFL QB Quincy Carter Suspended by Arena Football Team

Former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter is now playing for the Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings of af2, the minor league version of Arena Football. And he's playing well. Or at least he was, until the Battle Wings suspended him last week. The suspension was for missing team meetings, and it's just the latest example of how a guy who is talented enough that he started for the Cowboys as a rookie has proven incapable of conducting himself like a professional. Jean-Jacques Taylor of the Dallas Morning News put it right: As usual, he screwed up. Players in the Arena Football minor leagues make a few hundred bucks a week; they have to have another job to pay the rent. So if Carter can't stick around at that level of football, he just can't make it in football. And that's a shame, not so much because Carter has football talent, but because without football, it's hard to picture Carter's life turning out well.
