Newton grants a wish for a cancer stricken teen


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

 

Matthew Bailey, a seventh grader from Iredell County, N.C., was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer earlier this year.

Soon after, a pastor from his church started looking for ways to make 10 of Matthew’s wishes come true.

Those wishes:

    Throw a football with Cam Newton

    Play H-O-R-S-E with Bobcats owner Michael Jordan

    Teebow with Tim Teebow

    Play a pick-up game with Kevin Durant

    Meet Johnny Manziel

    Go to the NCAA Final Four

    Visit Cameron Indoor Arena, meet Coach K

    Sit courtside for a Miami Heat game

    Go to the Super Bowl

    Go to an NBA Finals game

Over the last couple months, Matthew experienced No. 6, No. 7, and he’s getting closer to No. 3. On Thursday, he crossed off No. 1.

When a Panthers’ representative heard about the list a few weeks ago, he reached out to Newton, who was immediately interested.

Since he’s recovering from ankle surgery, he couldn’t throw a football with Matt, but Newton worked with his foundation to set up Thursday’s meeting. A caveat: Newton didn’t want cameras or media attention.

Kudos to Bill Voth's "Black and Blue Review" site for the story.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
