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

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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
