JaMarcus Russell supposedly fires back at Cam Newton

[DoWorkBson]

So is he working at a grocery store now?

Why would he be working at a grocery store? Do you know how much money he got paid to get fat.... I mean play football

[rayzor]

i don't have a problem with cam calling out russell, but this is a damn good point by itself.

true.

i hate that people look at and label players (or anyone) according to their skin color or feel it necessary that they represent anything other than the human race.

we will all advance more when we quit labeling and pigeon-holing ourselves and others by color.

[Kakarot]

Figured he would fire back at Cam. While I respect Cam for speaking his mind, I dont know if I would've said what he said. Probably should've kept it to himself, because Jamarcus makes a pretty good point.

[2jakefansinva]

no way he typed all those letters without fatfingering one of them......

[BIGH2001]

Are you people this gullible? There is no way in hell JaMarcus Russell was able to write something that eloquent. The last time I saw him on TV was at the Sugar Bowl with Troy Smith a few years back. He could barely speak English when giving a sideline interview.

when you rob a franchise of $30 million dollars you have no one else to blame but yourself.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I'm surprised he put forth the amount of effort it takes to write a post on twitter. figured he would see Cams remarks and be like "fugg that, i'll show him!" but then just eat 5 big macs, take a nap and forget about it.

[BigSyke]

if jamarcus wrote that, he did have a point. but everyone just kept saying newton was going to be jr 2.0, so i think thats what newton is talking about. people judge you as a whole(your race) not by your self alot of times too.

black qbs are given fewer chances, or some like vick is caught up in other "stuff" or just think their athletic ability will save them. which ends up with them not studying film and practicing hard. peyton manning studies all the time, even when you dont see him. all the greats do.

its not because they(black qbs) are dumb, its not rocket science.

[Gazi]

Oh sure thing. I mean, no one compared Cam to Steve Young, whom he's closest to in how he plays the game, but decided to compare him to this turd just because he's black.

I see the same thing now happening with RG3.

@elvesandplums the thing is my faults are WELL known and documented, and it's like no one noticed the situation I was in as well.

@elvesandplums I'll respond because you're so persistent. I don't fully blame the Raiders for what happened, most of it was MY fault...

if this really is Russell, he is showing a degree of maturity I did not expect.

Honestly I hope he can make a come back. I doubt it, but I hope he can. He seemed to have all the physical gifts just not the desire. Who knows...

[bauss]

I think Russell has a decent point. No matter how poorly he handled himself maybe Newton shouldn't have brought his name up.

In all fairness Cam didn't. His critics did.

[Guest Irv]

His "Purple Drank" probably gave him 5mins of intelligence to write that..

[mav1234]

In all fairness Cam didn't. His critics did.

Cam didn't need to name Russell, but he did anyway.

id be a big happy fatass too if i got handed a 50 million dollar check and was allowed to just bail on my end of the business.
