John Saunders 'parting shots' on Sports Reporters: Character Issues in NFL

I'm just sayin, it's not like he has a history of run ins with the law. We shouldn't assume he's going to have more because of one incident.

No one is assuming that.

It's also not entirely accurate to say that he hasn't had a history of run ins with the law.

Everybody needs to just get over this already. Cam Newton is a Panther now and he starts with a clean slate as far as I'm concerned. The same goes for all of these draft picks. If some of you are so perfect that you just can't help but judge and complain, then please do it somewhere else and let the rest of us unwashed masses enjoy this draft.

Does this mean you will never bring up what he did in college again either?

If you will never bring up your worthless statstics again.

It not a double standard at all. You're comparing stars in the league who you know can make you money to unproven rookies to might not be worth the trouble. If the league knew Ryan Mallet was a future pro bowl QB for sure he'd go number 1 even with a drug problem.

It's about money and how much an owner is willing to overlook in exchange for talent and winning.

God knows I'm a completely different person than I was at 18. Urinating in public? Did it.

There are so few nice things in life, never stop urinating in public....it is very freeing.

Giving someone a second chance is usually done after they admit wrongdoing and express regret. Newton has yet to do either to my knowledge.

Then you haven't been watching. He has admitted to making mistakes while at Florida many, many times, and talked about how his year at Blinn was a gut-check to put his life in order.

I have read enough of your comments to know that you will see this as either not good enough or insincere on his part. It would be much easier for you to just say, "I don't like Cam Newton" than to try to logically discuss his failings.

I would like to see the stats on how many good people did stupid things in high school/college. I only know one person who never did anything illegal as a kid. Not counting the multitudes of "ideal citizens from birth" on this board of course.

A few of our moderators are perfect. They've never done anything bad in their lives and never got in trouble as youngsters. :rolleyes:
