Newton grants a wish for a cancer stricken teen

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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      More so than the stats it was against that killer defense in their own stadium, the same defense that made Mahomes look like a total JAG in the SB. The way Bryce handled adversity all game was simply phenomenal , the off script play in the end zone, scrambling out of a sack/safety to find XL deep was one of the best plays we have seen out of a Panthers QB on what should have been a game winning drive

      He’s about to be 0-12 in the conference finals and we’ve been outscored 16-4 in this series after only losing 2 games the previous two rounds and looking really in control of the series. There’s major red flags here as to why he seems so overmatched once he gets to a certain level. There comes a point where “just getting there” isn’t good enough. We are at that point.

      RODS gotta GO

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Listening to the post-game, and holy poo! Has Rod ever said, "this one's on me." When asked about composure, he threw Staal and Martinook under the bus. "Those 2 can't be your best players." Disregarding that he didnt answer the question, does he realize how that sounds to professional athletes? When asked how you prepare for game 4, "I'm not even thinking about that." Clearly, Rod.
