Yankees say don't be like Cam Newton

The NY Yankees are telling their players to be less like Cam Newton and more like Russell Wilson when it comes to speaking to the media. 

Quote

Kids everywhere want to be like Cam Newton. The Yankees are telling their players the exact opposite.

Newton’s postgame press conference following Super Bowl 50 caught the eye of Jason Zillo, the Yankees’ executive director of communications, who is using the brief, dismissive session following the Panthers’ loss to the Broncos as a prime example of how not to handle yourself with the media.

The fact that Newton’s less-than-impressive postgame performance came only one year after Russell Wilson’s impeccable handling of the media after he threw a late interception in the previous Super Bowl paints a perfect picture of how to handle yourself and how not to.

“That’s something everybody should see,” Zillo said of Newton’s highly criticized interview. “It’s made more impactful when you parlay it with what the quarterback did 12 months prior in the exact same position after throwing an interception at the goal line.”

It is amazing that Cam Newton's post game press conference at the Superbowl is still a major topic of discussion. 

 

Maybe they should worry more about their players who beat women and take PEDs. 

 

As if you needed another reason to hate the Yankees.

Snobbish hypocrisy

nobody in that organization is a saint, especially their last icon, Derek Jeter, who has basically slept with half of the upper east side at this point. But then again, that aesthetic, Ford Edge peddling, corporate pool cue stuck up their ass mentality is what they're known for.

I saw that earlier...funny.  Honestly, guys need to stop caring about winning.  They need to hide all of their emotions, button up and talk boring corporate speech because that's what's been done.  Don't be you, be who the media wants you to be!

Then again, the Yankees are a pretty big merchandising business, so they don't want to offend anyone.

So are they also going to ask their players to abstain from sex with their celeb girlfriends until married?  Or drink special water they believe has mystical powers?  And dad jeans too?

I love how much of a thing Cam is.  It's only going to be sweeter as we get better and we keep on celebrating, play as our team, and continue to allow guys to be themselves.

Hey now, I don't know how anyone can hate the Game Jeter spit off the field. Have you seen his rack record? It's impressive. Couple that with the fact that he always had a limo, gift basket, and autographed swag waiting for women after spending the night with him, and I think he kept what he did as classy as he could. 

Still hate that entire organization. They are everything that is wrong with baseball. And that play where he dove into the stands is the single most overrated play in baseball history. He was too stupid to slide after catching the ball... he had plenty of time. He was just being an idiot.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.

      Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off.

      Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
