So, I Found The Reporter That Tried To Start A Controversy With Cam


Cookie Lyon

His name is Jerry Sullivan and he is a reporter from the Buffalo News.

He wrote an article about his exchange with Cam.

Quote

“I don’t even want to touch on the topic of black quarterback,” Newton said, “because I think this game is bigger than black, white or even green. So I think we limit ourselves when we just label ourselves as this and that. I wanted to bring awareness because of that. But yeah, I don’t think I should be labeled just a black quarterback, because there’s bigger things in this sport that need to be accomplished.”

I jumped in and asked Newton why he couldn’t elaborate on his words from a week earlier. Did he believe there’s still somewhat of a stereotype that says black, mobile quarterbacks cannot throw in the pocket effectively?

“We shattered that a long time ago,” he said, a sheepish smile on his face.

Jerry Sullivan is lying about the fact that he asked Cam to elaborate. He actually told him to "back it up" as if Cam had to prove something to him. He is also being called out on twitter for his actions towards Cam.

I stopped watching those evening ESPN shows for years because they were insufferable. Then I found it on one day and Bomani Jones was on.

 

Love that guy. Totally makes that whole half anhour block tolerable if there's nothing else on.

    • You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out. 
    • So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB. 
    • All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
