Cam Newton get's axed from cover of NFL Magazine.

In other words, we weren't going to follow the example set forth before us by every other sports media news outlet by not being controversial, but realized we just didn't have the reporting ability to compensate for not doing so. If you'll remember, there was a fan vote that determined who should be on the cover between Newton and The Golden Calf of Bristol, and Cam won in a landslide. Doesn't look like the editors cared. I was gonna buy the issue when it hit shelves. Won't now.

Oh. And Bye.

So this NFL magazine is nothing more than an extention of the NFL Network. A Network filled with a bunch of shallow and empty ex-NFL players and top ranks, who believe their opinions matter more than the general public. I guess if The Golden Calf of Bristol loses on Sunday, they will change their minds and put another player on the cover before the magazine hits the stands. But I doubt it, because they know The Golden Calf of Bristol is god in his fans eyes and they will buy anything with him on the cover. Cha-ching.

All I've got to say is, Sports Illustrated need not be threatened. Their position as the leading sports magazine is safe.

Is he more relevant nationally right now? Objectively speaking, no question.

But so what? I don't think he'll be more relevant long term.

Actually, he isn't that relevant outside of the NFL. If u ask the average football watcher who's The Golden Calf of Bristol, they may give u a vague response. I honestly believe he was more mainstream relevant in 2010 when he was in the draft.

That's your opinion (and mine too), but this magazine is unlikely trying to sell this issue in 2 years time, but right now.

It makes perfect sense to go with The Golden Calf of Bristol, and honestly, I don't care. I'm not a big national publicity kinda guy and I think that will come once we start winning. In the mean time I'm content watching Cam play on Sundays.

Honestly if u ask me, a perfect introduction cover to this new magazine, if it was serious and well thought out debut, would have been a cover featuring the success of the 2011 rookie draft class. Having the pictures of all the rookies who have shown such success after not having the necessary off-season work-outs and and meetings, IMO, speaks way more volume as a introduction to a legit NFL magazine than some picture of a flavor of the month QB.

Take nothing away from Tim but the obsession over him is starting to borderline strange curiousity rather than genuine respect as a QB. The college fanaticism over him have crossed over from that world into the NFL in a really strange way. Yes, his team may be winning but so are the Greenbay Packers and they aren't getting the front cover.

I'm not sure the agenda of those behind this magazine but if the continued pushing of the "The Golden Calf of Bristol freak" show seems way more important to them than the stories that have emerged despite the NFL lock-out, I'd say their priorities are a bit wacked.

praying for god to make the kicker miss a field goal against you = completely stupid when you're actually serious. it doesnt work that way.

thanking god for your success after a win is fine. if you believe in god its a natural reaction.

god, however, does not micromanage football games, and thats what i think pisses people off about The Golden Calf of Bristol. they can't take it seriously.

Too bad he's a self-proclaimed virgin.

I don't dislike The Golden Calf of Bristol as a person, but "Timbo the Quarterback" is just absolutely hilarious. I can't wait until this guy becomes a glorified HB or TE. Right now, he is the best way to determine a knowledgeable football fan from the raving loonies.
