Amazing that he says things like that yet people were under the impression he was a good family man.
OT: Craig Carton Arrested (of Boomer and Carton)

I know I love people that make excuses that he has a disease let him go. BS.
You simply don't understand addiction. Add it to the list, I suppose.
I have to say, I don't feel bad for the investors and hedge funds in all this. Screw these people who try to invest in ripping off the artist's real fans.
I know you love me backer...:D
But NEVER would I say let him go, he needs to go to jail and stay a while.
maybe the hedge fund was run by women and children?
Nobody's fault but his own. Screw him. You wouldn't say that if he was a drunk driver with a "disease." Hes a freaking criminal.
I just don't get why anyone would want to see Hamilton or Streisand. If you gave me a ticket I would pass. Avoiding Liberal circle jerks is great scam avoidance.
Sweet. Everyone here totally cares about your political axe-grinding.
I don't think anyone in this entire thread suggested he shouldn't be punished. I was just calling out your denial that addiction is a real thing...which is just plain ignorant.
People actually defending Carton because "it's a disease" or because "WFAN don't pay their talent well." Instead of saying it's this c***'s fault that he's in the spot his greedy ass is in now. And I'm pretty sure he would be riding the hell out of someone in the same situation.
Gambling addiction is 1,000,000% a real thing. Neither I, nor anyone else in this thread (I don't think) is saying that he isn't responsible for his actions (or that addicts, in general shouldnt be held responsible for their actions). But the fact that gambling addiction is as real as any drug or alcohol addiction is undeniable.
If youve seen and dealt with addiction, I am surprised you throw this one in quotes. I know a lot of people dismiss all addiction as "not a real disease." I think most people who have seen it recognize that it takes many forms. A gambling or shopping addict, or a horder, or what have you, cannot help themselves any better than a drunk or a dope addict.

Wonder what Mike Francesa is going to have to say about the Cartoon "legacy" when he writes his book?
Why are people so quick to jump out and defend him by claiming it's his disease and not him personally? Did they read the complaint? It reads like a demon's resume. Ever listen to him on the radio? He sounded like a world class a'hole and there is good reason that people aren't surprised by this at all. Sure, it's possible that he might happen to have a disease but it is also possible that he doesn't have a disease and he is just plain a bad dude who liked to gamble ... and steal millions upon millions from people.
No one defended him, directly or indirectly.
If the charges against him can be proven in our legal system, he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The fact I realize he's powerless to combat his gambling addiction alone does in no way mean he's not responsible or culpable.
But mercy might be shown if it's deserved along with treatment offered .
Not saying he shouldn't go to jail if he's proven guilty, only saying attempting to treat his addiction must be part of any sentence he receives.
Like any addict he must put in an honest effort to overcome his addiction, or any treatment he receives will be doomed to fail.
As it is: even with an honest effort many addicts fail to overcome their addiction.
why do u root for a team where the great majority of the players are liberal. Guess you should stay away.
I believe that the scam charity he ran is an indication that Carton is simply a fraud and a huckster. The gambling issues are separate IMO.
I stopped listening to FAN in the morning because of his obnoxious, know nothing personality when he was first hired to work with Boomer. Still find it hard to believe that the Suits thought he brought value to the show. He was a jerk when he was on 101.5 FM prior to the FAN.
Btw I'd like to give a shout out to Nuts that we are in complete agreement about Craig Carton.
He'd better cut a deal with the prosecutor before his co conspirators do.
Knowing the type of personality that get's himself into these types of problems, I would venture to guess that gambling isn't his only vice. It rarely stands alone with this A+ type personality.
With reading some of the things about his debts...it gets me wondering if this scam could have been forced upon him to use his fame in a way to help pay off debt rather than break a leg or two...owing millions to these types usually does not go well.

Yeah, and a mass murderer should be excused because obviously he must have a disease.
It's bordering on incredible to me, someone could read this thread and come to the conclusion ANYONE is excusing him or doesn't think he should go directly to jail!!!
232 posts in this thread. I challenge you to find one which suggests that Carton should be excused. What we are talking about is understanding, and maybe even a little empathy. We all have our demons. Most of us have them under control. Those of us who do not are not all that different from the rest of us.
Maybe read my initial post when I said he had an addiction instead of trying to pick a fight with me
Zap- you know as well as I do...some have an idea in their head and can't even have the concept that they are on a different wavelength then everyone else. Happens in every mult page thread lol
He's always talk about how much he loves his wife and kids while creepily flirting with every woman they ever had on the air or in studio. He was banging his make up girl at one point.
He's a dirtbag and it was pretty clear from the first time I heard his schtick.
Zap Whaa?So you were just partying with Parker and friends?Nobody had a problem with the white pony? Wow you were lucky.
