The real reason Cam Newton left the post game interview

[Jeremy Igo]

Listen to what is being said next to him. Not sure why Cam Newton was forced to hold a post game press conference where the defense of the opposition is within speaking distance. 

 

 

 

That is Denver corner Chris Harris speaking in the background. 

 

In short, Cam did not leave because of the media. Cam left because he shouldn't have to sit there and listen to the opposition talk. 

 

Update: According to our good buddy Darin Gannt, all Superbowl press conferences are set up as such.

OK, what he was saying wasn't so bad as the NFL fuged up the presser process.  What a bunch of morons that should have known better.

I agree it wasn't anything unusual or inflammatory at all. 

 

But.... why should Cam have to sit there and listen to it. He is there to speak to the media, not listen to the Broncos. Typically post game press conferences are held on opposite sides of the stadium. That is how I have always seen it.

And tell Deion to shut it. He has been preaching for the country to let Cam be Cam. This is Cam. He worked his @$$ off for this and wears his emotion on his sleeve.

The NFL rubbed this in Cam's face.  fug Goodell and his goons.

Like he has been rubbing it people's faces all season? Cam and his hardcore nuthuggers need to grow up.

You feel vindicated, don't you? Pathetic. Truly fuging pathetic.

What's interesting is to check the story titles about Cam's presser and the game.  The language is very telling...

• Cam Newton's antics in loss fuel criticism
• Cam Newton crumbles on and off field in Super Bowl
• Cam Newton can learn a lot from other great QBs who lost a Super Bowl

• Cam Newton choked away the Super Bowl

Who wants to walk into that kind of a shark tank?

Most of the media were hoping Cam would give them something to jump on, and this is it. it's freaking insane that they would put Cam right next to the Broncos and expect anything different than what they got.

This will be the only place this is mentioned.

In my opinion, only the winning QB needs to give a presser. Why rub salt into the wound? Just sayin'.

[SportsCrazie4172]

It amazes me that during Opening Media Day that both teams weren't even on the same floor giving their pressers..Denver went first and then Carolina..

but now after the f*cking game we put them all in the same room right beside each other???

This was a set up..

This really isn't about "rubbing it in people's faces", this is about the NFL  totally screwing up the post-game interview locations. They should be apart for (really) professional reasons, particularly on the sport's biggest stage.  Your nut-hugging references should probably be directed to another location as well.

Regardless, he can do better than that.

I thought the same thing. You could hear someone talk and Cam look over. Once again Media has a way of setting up stories.
