Nah, he probably wouldn't play for Tepper ever again

Second episode is tonight

Summary for those that didn't watch:

Cam broke some dudes face in a boxing/fight challenge and that guy had to go home.  Felt it was an odd challenge to even have because their was clearly no one you could pit against Cam and it be remotely fair.   Sure he was a tall swimmer but from the jump I told my wife the math wasn't mathing and there was no one you could pair Cam up w/ and that it would feel remotely ok. 

Surprise of the show is Golden Tate IMO.  Who definitely doesn't seem wired the way we would dream up an uber successful pro athlete.  Same for the gymnast.  

[Mr. Scot]

The gymnast (Jordyn Wieber) tapped out due to their being another underwater challenge. I'd said the one at the end of the first episode was basically like being asked to waterboard yourself in the surf. That one caused her to panic so much that the thought of another one was more than she could handle.

Trista Sutter (the original Bachelorette) left as well due to fatigue. Don't care much about bachelorettes but I was wondering whether she and Newton ever discussed the fact that she's married to a former (albeit temporary) Panther, safety Ryan Sutter.

Tate just seems kind of lost post-football. That happens to a lot of guys who have never really done anything else. He and Cam had some drama between them over a challenge where Tate just mentally shut down. They buried the hatchet later after Tate redeemed himself in a later challenge.

The boxing part was pretty brutal. Newton went a little nuts on his opponent and busted his nose. Former (disgraced) Olympic track and field star Marion Jones was matched up against Travis Kelce's pre-Taylor Swift girlfriend Kayla Nicole. I thought that was kind of a mismatch. Turned out it was...the other way. Nicole broke some of Jones' ribs and she had to withdraw.

As to Newton, he was pretty heavily featured in this episode. Cam is easily the best physical specimen in the group...as you might expect. As you also might expect, his boisterous personality rubbed The straight laced, super serious military guys wrong at first, but after some initial conflict he's toned it down and actually seems to be earning their respect now.

Honestly, for Newton fans, this show is probably a pretty good watch.

As a side note, Newton mentioned he was now supporting eight kids. I didn't realize he had that many.

Clip...

Newton swings a bit wild, honestly.

It's almost like reality shows are scripted!

I wouldn't call it heartbreaking.  There are certain things you can do to prevent having 8 kids.

I think 6 are his own and 2 he took in. But yeah, that's a lot

I love Cam to death but he is a bit tone deaf here

6 of his own?  Pretty good odds that at least one of them will grow up to be a genetic freak athlete like their dad.

Yes I got hooked because of Cam.  It’s funny how taken the Special Forces staff are with Cam’s size and athleticism, you can tell he could actually make it

I don’t know how good being 6’5, 240 lbs would be in special forces. I’d think average height with above average strength would be better. 
 

also, no one would be able to carry him out of a combat zone if he were wounded and that is a consideration that they have.
