Not sticking uo for him, but there was a reason, better than just up and walking away

no dabbing during the interview to hide your poor loosing attitude? he's not the first nor the last to have a loosing interview. He could have set the stage at the press conference on questions, comments,etc. He should apologize to ALL his team mates & loyal fans for quitting with 6 minutes left in the game! fall on ball.Only down by 6 at that point. anything can happen, muff punt, 3 & out, interception or fumble.
To me CAM gave up on that pathetic no attempt. NO EXCUSES , say what you will.

ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE MADE A BETTER ATTEMPT!

just my .05 worth, keep the change

[QUOTE=Chaddie84;10478621]Active NFL players are prohibited from endorsing alcohol companies on air, meaning Manning has just that little regard for commissioner Roger Goodell’s discipline, or he’s counting on not being an active NFL player much longer.

Finally someone posted the actual humor around Peyton's Budweiser comments, unfortunately earlier I did not have the time to find an article that pretty much surmised his little 'tongue and cheek' comments as he obviously was not going to announce his retirement on TV before addressing his family and teammates!

This theory was all over social media last night.

And as I said earlier even as a Patriots fan I have always considered Peyton Manning a class act and last night did nothing to change my opinion.

As far as Cam he's a kid and he will learn, if you can dance and clown when things are going your way then you need to 'man up' when they don't go your way, I would expect some form of apology from him for acting out of character as I truly believe he was just responding to the moment and feel once he's able to take a step back he will do the right thing.

There have been many, many players in professional sports who have acted in the same manner after a big loss, and if they did not then they really didn't care that much IMO.

He is not a "kid"

Hawksmack · 02-08-2016, 03:33 PM

Sham Newton and Camtrum are what I will remember from this thread.

wheeler281 · 02-08-2016, 03:34 PM

LOL People take this a bit to serious. The guy does more philanthropy then anyone in the NFL. He is allowed to be a little upset after a record setting season. I wish I could find this Utopian world some of you live in. How dare he not be on his P C game all the time

When you have a 'kid' that's around the same age (22) as him then he's a kid to me, obviously not a parent or above the age of 40-50 and I don't appreciate kids rolling their eyes at me calling someone 25-26 a kid. SMH

This is such a key that many people, for whatever reason, are choosing to overlook. It's like they are judging the entire person based on a very limited data set. Cam does so much for the community and has grown up a lot over the last several years. Still, here are a bunch of people judging him under circumstances those same critics themselves have never been a part of before. Cam is not perfect, but he's far from what some people are painting him as being in here. It's not at all fair. No more so than for anyone to exalt their favorite player for being without fault. Personally, I'm rooting for Cam to continue growing and see this game as a teachable moment he matures from.

Who cares. Pick a better hero or role model if you don't like him. Use this as a teaching moment for your children if that is the issue. Millionaire athletes are generally not the best role models to begin with. I don't understand why this kind of thing is such a big deal to people. He is human and humans make mistakes and do dumb things everyday regardless of their status in society. He is a millionaire who plays a brutal contact sport for a living he is not a doctor or a politician or philanthropist.

I want to like him ... But it is very hard right now..

Same here, enjoyed watching him until the middle-end of this year. When he turned into "whatever is the PC thing to say" for a thug. Yes, he gives footballs to little kids when the cameras are rolling, he likely donates his time and money elsewhere for very worthy causes. However, he acted just like many thought he would, in general... If not for his super high HIGHS, he wouldn't crash so hard during the low times

Except if this were Tom Brady you would be leading the charge and you know it.

(Not that there is anything wrong with that....just putting into perspective for you.)

Out of morbid curiosity, what is the stereotypical African-American QB?

The problem with Cam is that when things are going good, he is chipper and ready to answer anything, dancing around. When things are going poorly, you get... last night.

A player like Marshawn Lynch hates talking to the media, win or lose, you get the same guy.

If you want to ride the wave, by all means, ride it, but when you crash, don't take your ball and go home.

I still like Cam, but he has a bit of growing up to do when things don't go well. He is a great when everything is sunshine, but needs to figure out how to lose just a bit better. And I get that it sucks. I hate getting immediate player reactions after big games, win or loss.

But didn't you just describe that he's actually being consistent vs. the point you took away? He's 'wearing his heart on his sleeve' as some have put it. You do well and of course you're joyous, the opposite is what we got last night. If he came out and was formal all-around, a regular boring interview then he'd be straying away from the usual.

Media must be eating this all up, was sitting in McDonald's in NY earlier today and all people were talking about was Cam. One of the reasons they zoom in on a crying player during a loss.

corndog · 02-08-2016, 04:45 PM

Learning how to eat humble pie will help Cam as his career progresses. He isn't the first and won't be the last.

marl1220 · 02-08-2016, 04:50 PM

I watched First Take today and for the first, and probably the last, time I agreed with everything S. Smith said about Newton. Basically he's a spoiled brat that loves all the attention when he's winning but runs and hides like a coward when times get rough. He also called out Newton's father for building his son up and making him look like a fraud. Obviously Cam can talk the talk but hasn't got what it takes to walk the walk.

Everything you just said put me in mind of Tom Brady.The biggest scam artist,crybaby of them all,But we all know why Tom Brady gets a pass over Cam Newton.Please don't make me say it.I may get "Banned".

I think people carry a stack of this "card" around in their back pocket so they can pull it out whenever the situation presents itself.
