Cam Newton Q&A with SI

[jtnc]

First, some full disclosure, even though it makes me look like a dope. I interviewed Cam Newton a few weeks ago and he was extremely nice and I thought the Q&A was very entertaining. However, when I went to transcribe the conversation, I only heard my hideous voice on the tape. Yes, I set up the recorder incorrectly. However, Newton was nice enough to answer a few light-hearted questions via e-mail.

The sad thing is... they would probably publish an article like that about him.
