UPDATE: NBA Legend Mentoring Cam Newton - With Audio

On my way home I was listening to ESPNLA's Max and Marcellus show and they were talking about Dwight Howard leaving the Lakers, blah blah blah....then they talk about the Logo and NBA legend Jerry West and how things may be different if he were still running the Lakers...

 

Then all of a sudden, the fill in for Max Kellerman starts talking about how Jerry West was brought in by Jerry Richardson to help mentor Cam Newton and that he was working with Cam on "getting his mind right."

 

It was just a 30 second mention but I hope that this is a true story.

 

Given it was radio, obviously no links at the moment.

 

However, I could not find this anywhere online in any articles either so if anyone can confirm this it would be great.

 

Thoughts?

 

Edit:

 

Here is the MP3 of the podcast I recorded straight from audio. For those interested in the Max and Marcellus podcast, it is in the last two minutes of hour 2 on 6/27/13.

 

The fill in for Max Kellerman is a journalist named Rick Schwartz and he is the one who actually mentions Jerry West and Cam Newton. He states that no one really knows about this. He is also a decent journalist (broke Brett Favre retirement story). So there may be some validity to his claim.

Read Jerry Wests autobiography - he had a few mind problems of his own.  much as I like West I dont see how hes going to turn an immature kid into a mature one.  If Cam ever grows up its going to be his own doing, not a mind coaches.

i'm skeptical of this development because, with how information starved this place is right now, this board would have been all over a story like this before anybody on ESPN, especially an out of market station, would have bothered to mention it.

That's why I posted it before anybody else. Lets see how true it is. I tweeted the show host and other "NFL" guys

now now, he's not grits. he just has the exact same opinions as he does, lives in south carolina, and is a redskins fan.

And just happens to use similar screen names and avatars to other grits alts. Totally not the sane person

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.

      as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
