Someone Finally "Gets" Cam Newton

One thing I learned about Americans is that they dislike super confident individuals. They want to see you do your job and shut the hell up or act like nothing happened. They want you to make a great play then pretend to be intensely docile and focused on the next play. People dont like seeing people having more fun than them. Deon Sanders would have been hated here in Carolina too.

True, but so many loved Brett Favre and his exuberance for the game. Many of us loved Jake Delhomme and him wearing his heart on his sleeve. Many of the same people think Joe Namath was cool, with his flamboyance and self-assurance. They like Aaron Rodgers swagger and confidence.

But from some reason (and I have my beliefs why) Cam Newton rubs people the wrong way with his outward love for the game.

When it comes to Cam these same people want humility and not be demonstrative. The "just shut up and do your job" crowd. They will often say "I dont know why, but he rubs me the wrong way"

Those people need to take time and reflect on themselves and try to discover why it bothers them. The issue isn't with Cam, it is within themselves.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
