USA Today: Tom Brady said the exact same thing as Cam Newton about losing and no one cared

Outside of Boston, Tom Brady isn’t exactly the most well-liked quarterback around for a variety of different reasons that we won’t go into right now. But the heat he gets for his attitude is nothing compared to the wave that crashed over Cam Newton after he walked out of his post-Super Bowl press conference on Sunday. His critics came back for more, too, after he refused to apologize for his actions.

Newton, as relayed by USA Today:

“I’ve been on the record saying that I’m a sore loser. Who likes to lose? You show me a good loser and I’m going to show you a loser. It’s not a popularity contest. I am here to win football games …. I have said it since Day 1. I am who I am. I know what I’m capable of and I know where I am going. If you want me to conform, I’m not that guy. If you want me to be that type of person, I’m not that. I am happy to say that. This league is a great league with or without me. I understand that. I am my own person. I take pride in that.”

What’s interesting is that, back in 2005, Tom Brady said something almost identical to Newton during a 60 minutes profile and there wasn’t much of a fuss about it.

This quote is from the segment, which was entitled “Tom Brady: The Winner.” Brady was asked about how competitive he is with everything, even with silly things like backgammon:


“I’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win. But as soon as I lose, those backgammon sets, I broke more backgammon sets. I’ve dropped elbows on ’em. I don’t know. It’s like I wish I had a punching bag nearby sometimes.”

Again,... like Cam said.  Its not an issue for CAM,..its an issue Hacks in the media who are bottom feeders keep pushing so people like us click their stupid articles and give them ratings.

Just stop clicking these articles and feeding these trolls..... its like TV shows that people complain about. If you flip it to the channel and complain,.... THEY WIN and its staying on because you gave them ratings.

Just ignore and boycott. Dont click and eventually they get cancelled and can learn to go work for a living.

I used to break video game controllers with a hammer and busted my football helmet on more than one occasion after a loss. I hate losing. 

My athletic prime is well behind me and now I play co-ed rec league bullshit softball and I still lay into 45 year old women for not hustling to first. 

I'm a shitty loser. But when we win I usually buy all the beer at the pizza parlor after the game.

In 10 years Newton will have a literal Army of haters that will put even tom brady to shame.... and I fuging love it, losing the superbowl sucks and I hate how people try and bad mouth cam, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. In the early years Rivera Preached about staying Relevant, well huddle while we might not have our Lombardi we have fully arrived and are relevant, I see the front page of /r/ nfl and /sp/ has multiple cam newton threads, it really is awesome.

I've never been able to understand the criticism of how Cams handles losing. I would be a whole lot more pissed if when we were losing Cam was yucking it up, cutting up and laughing with some teammates.  Even something as insignificant as a regular season Middle School or a H.S. football. If we got beat I'd get so mad I would literally cry after the Game. I walked through the post game lined becaused we were required, but I wouldn't ever shake hands or congratulate the opposing team.

Cam is held to a higher standard,  because he isn't white.                Only white qbs are allowed to be sore losers........because that just means they are passionate about winning and hate losing.     If a black qb is a sore loser,  it means he is a stupid child.            Apparently.

THAT IS WHAT EXCITES ME!!! Right, wrong, or indifferent, Tom Brady will go down as one of the best QB's in NFL History if he hasn't already. Failure drives some people to be better than they were before and Brady epitomizes that occurrence. After the Spy Gate stuff comes out the Patriots have the highest scoring offense in the league the next season. Last season he was crucified for footballs being under-inflated in below freezing temperatures and came out this season playing lights out.

If Cam is able to build on a 50 TD season, what will the result be next season?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
