Cam Newton - Marketing Image


Recommended Posts

I tend to disagree with that article (on some respects)... Newton is already doing great on the endorsement front (UnderArmour, Gatorade, Footlocker, Belk, GQ, Windows Phone, SportsCenter, NFL Commercials)

 

If I'm not mistaken that UA deal was a record deal being that he received the largest contract ever for an incoming rookie (to work with UA).

 

That being said, he can still do more by simply getting the Panthers to the playoffs (that is where I agree with the article).

I took the article literally, as asking if can Cam cash in as a pitchman?

 

Well in my opinion, he already has, see my first post.

 

Next to Matthews and Cruz; Newton appears on more current commercials than any NFL player I know.

 

Obviously commercials aren't the only form of endorsements, but they probably bring in the most money next to shoe contracts.

 

I still believe Cam can do more in the marketing realm, but he's not doing bad by any stretch.

On the contrary, I will purchase nothing Griffin the third endorses because Redskin fans are idiots.

 

Well, Bob G3 is tied to Adidas right now, whom ironically could be called the ACL killers lol Bob tore his and so did Derrick Rose. not sure that is a product I would buy anyway

“He’s playing in Carolina," Shabelman said. "If they’re undefeated and they’re 12-0 going into the last five weeks of the season, that’s great, but they’re still in Carolina, and that’s not a major market. Sometimes people even forget there’s a team there.”

 

Ouch...that was a tough one to swallow

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
