Best wishes to him for the future. It's almost unheard of for someone to have a forty year career in journalism nowadays, that speaks volumes.

I didn’t hate him and am happy for him.  That said I think some of the disdain came from the frequency of his cringeworthy questions. Didn’t happen all the time but it was definitely prevalent.

ESPN’s Carolina Panthers reporter David Newton announced his retirement today.

He may have had his faults, but I appreciate a long, well-respected career. Wishing Newton the best of luck in retirement (even if everyone else is joyful of his exit lol).

I don't "hate" him but he is a terrible journalist.  

And you have to keep in mind that a lot of us can remember how Darin Gantt covered the team.  Say what you want about Gantt as a person, but he was a damn good journalist.  It never felt like Newton even tried to improve.  And man he used to ask the dumbest questions.

The fact that his BS was called out by several of the athletes he's covered speaks volumes too.

Nicest thing I can say about Dave is that he got in early on a small market, and he was ahead of his time in that he's been a sensationalist hack since before Twitter existed.

Really? You don't understand the hate.

The guy was truly as incompetent as it gets.

Here is one of many examples of his incompetence: https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/espn-reporter-apologizes-insensitive-question-xavier-legettes-father.html

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
