I was reading ESPN and came across this:

Rivera pulled Newton and the other key starters early in the fourth.

As Newton walked over to the bench, teammates DeAngelo Williams and Jordan Gross sat with towels over their head -- some good-natured ribbing directed at Newton, who has been criticized by some fans for covering his head when things weren't going well.

Anyone happen to catch this? Grab a picture? Would love to have saw the reactions.

Nope. More on it, though:

Dec. 24, 2011 6:35 p.m. - by Jeff Hawkins - Towels, towels, everywhere you look

Known for wearing a towel over his head while on the sideline, Cam Newton looked over at his mocking teammates. All he could do was laugh. With Newton out of the rout, T Jordan Gross was among those who donned a towel. “Giving him a hard time,” Gross said of the joke. Panthers RapidReports

Dec. 24, 2011 6:27 p.m. - by Jeff Hawkins - Towel outbreak all about fun, Newton says

On his teammates’ prank of wearing towels on their heads Saturday, Cam Newton turned philosophical: “One thing that we preach is 'Have fun.' If you’re not having fun doing what you love to do there’s no use in doing it.” Panthers RapidReports

I'm curious how many people realize how this played out the last few weeks... Cam's interview did rub some of the team the wrong way, Gross and Kalil talked to Cam, Cam humbled himself and now everyone is making jokes...

tight locker room...

Cam talked about it in his press conference after the game..... said it was funny and that Gross and Kahlil are the biggest jokers on the team and are always doing stuff. He also mentioned there were some other guys who were the same.

I was sitting behind the bench and saw this happen. Jordan Gross, Jonathan Stewart, and Deangelo put the towels on their heads and shortly followed by a few more offensive lineman. Stewart kept walking around and pulling off the superman thing cam does, even doing it at the crowd a few times. Everyone looked like they were having a blast.

      Also, in regards to XL and guys like Renfrow and JHJ, it’s hard to truly evaluate them because they aren’t getting enough opportunities.  XL, to me, seems like he turned a corner, which was evident in that career game a couple of weeks ago…  but then he’s only getting a couple of targets over the next couple of weeks.  Not to pile on Bryce because everyone knows where I stand on him, but it’s because of him.  Bryce made a nice throw to him yesterday, XL made a nice clutch grab, and then a packers defender took a cheap shot on him and he was out for a bit (I believe he came back?).  But, overall, it feels like for most of our WRs it’s feast or famine and no in between:  it’s not enough consistency in targets and distribution.

      Pretty sure it was both.  And the screen throw to rico that he literally jumped to do and it sailed over his head.  That type of poo is not fixable

      I just think it was an awful throw. He was trying to throw to the back pylon and just missed terribly. He had a little bit of pressure in his face and he can't deal with that. That's when the awful throws usually happen. I don't have a problem with that shot if it's thrown to the back pylon where it should've been. That ball thrown correctly to the outside is either caught by XL of is safely missed high and/or outside. You cannot miss that throw short and inside.
