NFL.com article about swag... more than half of it it seems they are talking about Carolina!

Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman snatched the ball in midair, gathered his feet as he landed, then darted toward the end zone. He already had tired of hearing Cam Newton's constant trash-talking on that sweltering training-camp day, so it was equally satisfying to see Carolina's star charging toward him. Newton lowered his shoulders in order to slow Norman's progress. Norman went a step further -- he cut inside to escape Newton while driving a stiff-arm right into the quarterback's chest. After that, it was on. 

The scuffle that ensued rippled throughout the NFL. Still photos of the fight captured Norman and Newton clutching at each other's helmets and jerseys. The initial response by many outsiders was that it was crazy for a franchise player to be grappling with a defender who was fairly unknown at the time. Anybody who knows anything about the concept of swag -- and both Newton and Norman are undisputed experts on the subject -- understands exactly why that incident turned heated so quickly. 

Both Norman and Newton had the same idea at that tense moment: I'm the baddest dude on this field, and nobody's going to one-up me.
