C’mon, man, that segment isn’t the same without me.
That’s the message Cris Carter made public Monday, as the former ESPN broadcaster bitterly watched “Monday Night Countdown,” and the segment that he gave life to, continue  without him.
Carter, who was not brought back to ESPN this NFL season, was the signature voice of the “C’mon, man” bit, in which the week’s biggest bloopers would be punctuated with a “C’mon man!” from Carter.
Without him — or anyone else from last year’s “Countdown,” save Chris Berman — Carter felt some resentment rising inside him as he watched Monday night.
“#cmonman sucks,” Carter wrote.
In a follow-up tweet, Carter implied he tried to trademark the outburst, but ESPN “wouldn’t allow it.” In his stead, the new crew collectively took over shouting duties.
Carter did clarify he has no issue with the show itself. The new cast of the program that precedes Monday Night Football includes Suzy Kolber, Steve Young, Trent Dilfer, Matt Hasselbeck, Randy Moss and Charles Woodson.
Carter, 50, is a Hall of Famer and one of the great wide receivers of all time, but was part of a massive ESPN shakeup after a post-football career with the Worldwide Leader since 2008.
He had embarrassed the network and the NFL in 2015, when video was unearthed of him at an NFL symposium the year before instructing NFL rookies to get a “fall guy” to take the blame when they get in legal trouble.
