After Football
Carson remains in close involvement with the Giants. He has also had a successful career in sports broadcasting and has his own company, Harry Carson Inc., which deals mainly in sports consulting and promotions. Carson was also part-owner of the Arena Football League's New Jersey Red Dogs, alongside ex-Giants Carl Banks and Joe Morris. He currently co-hosts Giants Access Blue on My 9 with Bob Papa.
Since his retirement, Carson has suffered from various physical maladies brought on by injuries incurred during his playing days. He suffers from post-concussion syndrome, and estimates that he had 15 concussions during his career. In 1992 he stated: "I don't think as clearly as I used to. Nor is my speech, diction, selection of vocabulary as good as it used to be, and I don't know why." In 2001 while he was a broadcaster with the MSG Network he said, "I would mispronounce words and lose my train of thought. Things would happen, and I'd think I was going crazy. I'd go to the store to get something and forget what."
Carson is a long-time resident of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.
