Hardly worth the outrage. He didnt know. Hes a moron but thats nothing to freak out over. 

 

On one hand, yes.

On the other hand, I would like to think our team reporter would know something like this that over 1/2 the huddle knows...

And if Newton did know, the dude is as tone deaf as it gets

Wasn't Tone Deaf a 90's rapper?

Every question asked was stupid or common sense.

"do you like run blocking" (no dummy, but it's my job),

"how would it feel to be 3-0 at home" (ummm better than 2-1),

"can you use Diggs aggression against him" (ummmm like in what way, like put a banana peel on the field, hope he doesn't see it and slips on it?).

And then obviously Newton's lack of knowledge XL's father passing. 

Hard to believe there are journalism schools out there, and this is what they produce. 

I'm pretty sure it's 90% because he went to Wofford lol, not really known as a top journalism school but was probably good enough for Jerry to get an alumni a job.

It wasn’t exactly like he got a top job in journalism. I mean, they are sportswriters.  He is more like the redneck Ray Barone than Woodward and Bernstein.

Oh I know, I'm just replying to the person who assumed he went to "journalism school" lol. He can barely spell/form a proper sentence vocally or on paper but here we are over a decade in with this guy...

I've been saying F*** David Newton for years

this article was when I decided to mentally block him out of my life.

Pretty insane that the beat reporter for the Carolina Panthers didn’t know that XL’s parents both died while he was in HS. That’s a horrific fact about XL’s life that has been brought to the public’s attention countless times during the pre-draft process, post-draft process and so on. We have to have the worst beat reporters in the NFL.

Not sure what's worse, a beat writer not having any idea about it or a beat writer having actually written about it and then completely forgetting. I wouldn't be surprised if he's using ChatGPT to generate most of the crap he writes.

In that clip the ladies obviously picked up on it and at least took him out of that awkward situation to move the focus onto some things more jovial since Newton ruined the whole thing from the start.

That was inexcusable by Newton and he should be reprimanded by more than just Panthers fans on the Internet for his apathy.

I'm going to give him a pass. It wasn't a prepared question, XL mentioned his dad being a cowboys fan and Newton just threw back a follow up question. Should he have remembered yeah but its not like he prepared the question. It's like someone mentioning their parent and your immediate response is oh yeah how's your dad doing?
