Title: No More Excuses
Post by: Snaggletiger on October 26, 2017, 07:21:56 AM
Cam Newton is a officially a little bitch.  Yeah I know, most of us are done with the NFL right now.  I'm right there with ya'.  The only 30 seconds I've watched were when I came across a game while flipping channels.  But if you pay attention to sports coverage in general, it's almost impossible to not know at least a little about what's going on. 

Mike & Mike just showed a clip from his time with the press yesterday.  In the past 3 weeks, he's made fun of a woman for well, being a woman and asking a question about a wide receiver.  Then he's all Colon Craperdump is a great guy and I'm gonna' black panther err'body during the anthem.  On the field, he has flat out sucked lately. He skips last weeks presser.  Then yesterday, he comes in and stands at the podium with a mad on, bristling at every question.  Then he abruptly just walks out on everyone in the middle of it. 

So, I guess it's not just the pressure and emotions that come with losing a Super Bowl that causes you to be a little bitch at a press conference.  This guy has done nothing but pout on the field when things go wrong, hiding under a towel.  Play the over-the top, "Look at me" role at the most minute bit of success. But he hands kids the football after he scores.  He'll eventually apologize like he always does, then he'll embarrass himself and the organization again with his 4th grade antics soon enough. 

Hey Cam, thanks for the MNC.  Done with you.  When I come back to the NFL, and I will at some point, I'll be pulling for you to go 5-32 every game with 6 picks.

Appreciate everything about him while at Auburn and followed his NFL career up until this year. His overall behavior has gotten progressively worse to the point that I don't care about him anymore.

I don't like the way he's acting.  But he's been an overgrown child since before he was at Auburn.  That hasn't changed.

The guy hates to lose more than anybody I've ever seen.  He can't stand it. And he does not handle it well. He loves to win more than anybody I've ever seen. He basks in it. He does not handle it well.

The question he was asked (paraphrased).... "do  you think you can sustain success in this offense..." was a loaded grenade.  It was insulting. No answer would be right.  It pissed him off.  Cam is not politically correct. He does not hide his pissededness.  The question pissed him off and he bailed.

It's not a good look. 

He needs to get his shit together.  Shula sucks.

But the man is 28.  This is his 6th year in the league.  He's making over $20 million a year ($60 mil guaranteed) and just took himself a $22.5 million signing bonus.  He completely skipped the mandatory presser last week.  Just saw a report saying he walked in yesterday with only a couple of cameramen in the room and started talking before reporters even got there. 

I honestly don't care if he's an overgrown child.  Put your big girl panties on and stop being a little bitch.  This your profession!  He's been in the league long enough and had waaayyy more than enough press conferences in the best and worst of times to know how he should handle himself.  By the way, Ron Rivera took the exact same question Newton did and answered it honestly, saying Yeah, they definitely need to be more consistent. 

The presser was Tuesday.  He didn't have enough time to compose and/or prepare himself?

Whatever he does, I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching anybody in an Auburn football uniform more than I enjoyed watching him.  I've never seen anybody who enjoyed playing in an Auburn uniform more than he did.  Whatever he is now, for the time he was in Auburn he loved us just as much as we loved him. 

Just like Dye did for me in the 80s, Cam Newton gave me hope.  I was lucky enough to be on the sidelines when he broke LSU in half.  There was a point in that game where he took a pretty hard hit down close to their endzone.  He laid there on the ground and my heart nearly stopped because it looked to me like he was injured and breathing funny.  I was afraid for a moment that he might be out.  And while he still laid there, he turned his head and I saw a huge smile.  Cam was laying there laughing.  I've never seen anything like it, before or since. 

I don't much care what he does as a pro.  I want him to be successful, though.  I want him to clown the NFL like he clowned the SEC.   

He's a petulant child. He makes bad decisions sometimes. He doesn't think things through.  Yeah, he's a petulant little kid no matter how old he is, but he's OUR petulant kid.  Just like any of my kids, I may dislike the way he acts and wish he'd do better, but I'm still going to love him.

You've said this twice.

You are just as wrong the second time as you were the first.   The wreck was before his breakout season.

Post-truck wreck?  Cam set records, was the NFL MVP, had more fun playing pro football than any man has a right to.  He was "live for the moment, don't waste a second" Cam.  Post-wreck he was as good as anybody in the league. 

After Denver punked him in a Super Bowl I'm sure he felt certain they would win, he got super pissed off and (somewhat rightfully) fed up with the media that was in the span of five minutes adoring him and cheering his collapse.  His team was a shell of itself last year, he was injured -- something he's never really had to deal with -- and other than going to Blinn and working his ass off to get back to AU he's never really faced adversity on the football field.  Now he is and it's not where he wants or expects to be.

It's a little like somebody proving to Superman that he's mortal.  He's not going to like it.

Since I couldn't understand 3 words of that and got tired of watching after 30 seconds, I looked up the lyrics.  Here's most of the first verse.  You may have to clarify what any of this has to do with Cam.

I wasn't born last night
I know these hoes ain’t right
But you was blowning up her phone last night
But she ain’t have her ringer nor her ring on last night, oh
Nigga, that’s that nerve
Why give a bitch your heart
When she rather have a purse?
Why give a bitch your inch
When she rather have nine?
You know how the game goes
She be mine by half time, I’m the shit, oh
Nigga, that’s that nerve
You all about her, and she all about hers
Birdman Junior in this bitch, no flamingos
And I done did everything but trust these hoes

I don't care if he pouts. I think the "sexist" comment about it being funny to hear a female talk about routes is way over blown in our ultra-sensitive PC culture and would have AT WORST received an eyeroll or two and everyone would have immediately moved on and not given a shit five years ago.

The black power fist bumps me, but mainly just because it's so unlike him and I guess he got caught up in all the kneeling bullshit and followed suit. Which itself is unlike him.

Prior to that, the biggest controversy was being eviscerated by black twitter as an Uncle Tom and a Coon for saying he didn't think he was discriminated against for his race and thinks his race is irrelevant. So, again, to me it's just weird more than it is disappointing or anything. If it were another player I otherwise liked, but that were his schtick and I expected it, it probably wouldn't bother me at all.

Here's the thing.  I want all former AU athletes to succeed in whatever sport they're in.  I pull for them.  I follow them.  But honestly, I don't have this blind faith that some of you have just because they're "One of our own."  Yes, Cam gave us all a one year thrill ride that culminated in one of the most satisfying wins in AU history (28-27 at BDS) and a long awaited MNC one January night in Arizona.  I think we'll all be forever grateful for that.  And guess what?  If he comes back to a game at Auburn and they recognize him, I'll be right there cheering with the rest of you for what he did for good ole State U.

But the difference for me is, I don't give the man a free pass for the rest of his professional career, where he's gone from a 1-year/$180K deal to being one of the richest men in America, just because he played at Auburn. And that's exactly what you guys are doing. Cam is one of the highest profile athletes in the world.  He's getting his shit pushed in, and rightfully so, by every sports media outlet and caller after caller to sports talk shows.  And the truth of the matter is if he wasn't an Auburn man, we'd have a page or two dedicated to ripping this rich, spoiled, pouty ass, self-aggrandizing QB for Carolina, and he'd rarely be mentioned again.

If any other athlete acted this way, this many times, you'd write him off in a heartbeat.  But as Chad alluded to, it'd take him being a pedophile for some to speak ill of Cammy Cam.

Not to the level he did. 

We knew he was a clown before. The crazy shit he did after beating Alabama?

But he was our clown. Making our dreams come true. 

I’m a man. I’m 40 (and more).  Cam Newton gave me something I thought I’d never live to see.  He took me to Arizona. I stood there in the desert and cried.  If I had died that night I would have died happy. 

The man could take a shit in one of his big ridiculous hats and plop it on Roger Goodell’s head every Sunday. I won’t care. 

I’m still going to pull for him to be successful because he’s ours. And because it pisses bama fans off so much.

I agree with K above with regard to the magic carpet ride he took us on in 2010.  As I said above, we all owe him a debt of gratitude for that.

I guess my thing is this.  While yes, I really want all AU athletes to kick ass at the next level, I start focusing more on the team I pull for than individuals.

That's fine.  I will.  I like foosballz too much.  And I've never been shy about pulling for the Dirty Birds.  Loveable losers?  Chokers?  Yep.  But they're my chokers.

Here's where it's different.  I love me some Julio.  Hated him at Bama because....well....it's Bama.  But he's a Falcon now and he's one of the most incredible athletes in the league.  Watched the guy in person catch an insane amount of passes twice in the Georgia Dome.  Good guy off the field.  Would rather be bass fishing than anywhere else.  Let's put it this way.  My hatred for him as a Bama player didn't carry over to his pro career anymore than my blind faith in all things Cam did as a pro.  Yeah, I probably would overlook more things from ex-AU players.  But I tend to look at all players as pros and base my man-love/hate more on what they do at this level.

I agree with K above with regard to the magic carpet ride he took us on in 2010.  As I said above, we all owe him a debt of gratitude for that.

I guess my thing is this.  While yes, I really want all AU athletes to kick ass at the next level, I start focusing more on the team I pull for than individuals. Or better yet, the individuals on the teams I pull for.  I've always followed the NFL, NBA and MLB.  This year, I'm doing my part in staying away from the NFL for reasons I feel very strongly about.  But, I'll come back.  Maybe some of you won't.

Fuck sake.  There have been thousands that have come into the NFL and had careers after experiencing pretty much nothing but success and winning all their lives before that.  You serious Clark?
Never said it was right. Just that I think that's what he is.  You forget he's still a fucking millennial. 

Bottom line to me is what K said.  I don't care for the way he has acted especially the Hand in the air salute, but he's still an Auburn man, and I will support him (until he tries to sell our recruits to an agent).

I don't bail on people because they have an opinion I don't like or do foolish things.

Fuck all bama players in the NFL.

He's getting his shit pushed in, and rightfully so, by every sports media outlet and caller after caller to sports talk shows.  And the truth of the matter is if he wasn't an Auburn man, we'd have a page or two dedicated to ripping this rich, spoiled, pouty ass, self-aggrandizing QB for Carolina, and he'd rarely be mentioned again.

Here's the thing Snags, I hate the media and the talking heads way more than an individual athlete so I don't really care what they say about Cam.  He also isn't the first one to shun the media...see Marshawn Lynch...see Bill Belichick. 

and again no ones perfect.

I know you wouldn’t say this but it is incredibly ironic that this directly applies to the poster that you were responding to. As a matter of fact, if he keeps it up with The troublemaking, I think you should go ahead and post the pictures. The naked ones.

But you know exactly what you're getting with Bellychick.  He hates everyone and has never strayed from being an asshole.  Same with Lynch.  He doesn't talk to the media.  Period.  And by the way, aren't millennials the main ones that have pushed the whole issue of never degrading a woman.  That's funny. A woman asking me a question about my receiver.   

As for shunning the media, Mr. Newton only does it when he's pouting.  Which happens a lot.  But when things are going good, he's got the biggest grin in the room.  Loves him some camera time.

Why should former Alabama players in the NFL bother grown up Auburn fans?

There is no rational reason to begrudge a former college athlete based on the school he/she attended.

You tell em' jmar.  As long as former Bama players kick the touchdowns and score the field goals for my favorite team, they're my boyz.  Now Mark Ingram is a former Bama Ewok douche bag.

Yes.
Yes he is, there are exceptions.

Honestly there are only a handful that I had any disdain for and it was because they strung our program along through the recruiting process only to go elsewhere-namely Tuscaloosa.
But by the time they leave that school my hate meter doesn't register anymore.

I fucking hate almost every single one of the cheating bastards.  I freely and gladly hope they crash and burn in the league.  Don't forget, they still hate us too. So fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck them.  Steroid, cash money whores. 

Trent Richardson?  Fuck that peanut butter eating fool and his 8000 rental cars. 
Julio?  Gremlins suck. Hose it down.
Ingram?  Can't remember a punk ass so-called pro I've ever loathed more than his sorry ass.

I knew before he ever stepped foot on campus that he would carry the entire Auburn team on his back for the BCS crown. I told everyone in my family and of course, they were all doubters saying, "we'll just have to see." I remember posting on that family forum an SI article about his recruitment. There were members of the Auburn family watching Cam as he played at Binn College. No, I wasn't alone. I loved watching him play at AU but have lost interest in his career in the NFL. I wish him luck and maturity. WDE! Historic!
