Cam-isms

[ECUPantherFan]

Haha I liked when he MEANT to say "We don't want to get ahead of ourselves" but said "BESIDE ourselves..." 

 

Cam is the man.

Was just watching the latest interview on Panthers.com and dammit if Cam doesn't just crack me up. With that in mind, can we have a thread to put some of the funny stuff he says? This isn't to make fun, but to celebrate this funny quirk of our beloved QB.

Some good ones from this interview: "We have to bring our best foot forward." "We have to look each other in the mirror." And at one point he said to Person (I think): "We always have full practice on Wednesdays, Mr." I genuinely lold at that one.

Some all time favs are: "Simple and plain" and "Let the cat out of the hat."

 

It is funny to hear him say some of those.

 

Maybe we can take up donations and buy him a book of good cliches......

Yeah this is starting to get a little out of hand.

Doesn't seem to be imo. We just need to continuously to get better.

It's not gonna be instant like grits, it's a process, like collard greens.

This thread seriously has me rolling. Trying to get through these presets is funny to me. I don't think public speaking is a good quality for Cam but he doesn't have trouble on soundfx or any other interview. Standing in front of people and finding answers to questions without really giving answers is difficult.

Dear Cam,

 

I don't care how many mixed metaphors and improperly used words you bless us with on a weekly basis.

 

Just keep throwing that rock the way you have been, and you can say whatever the hell you want.

All Panther fans with a functioning brain

 

 

Seriously, some day he'll probably be famous for some of these quotes, like Yogi Berra back in the day.

spot on with the yogi berra.

 

for any of you young guys, yogi was a great baseball player back when baseball was cool. the thing that was awesome about him was what came out of his mouth. 

 

Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical."

 

"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."

 

"I don't know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads."

 

"I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary."

 

"It gets late early out there."

 

"Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded."

 

"Take it with a grin of salt."

 

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going because you might not get there."

 

"We made too many wrong mistakes."

 

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

 

there's a lot of them here:

yogi was one of my favorite athletes/personalities ever because he was just so much fun...and no, i'm not old enough to have seen him play live.

Maybe Cam isn't an English major...but he can throw the ball seventy yards on a rope......so he can fumble around make up all the crap he wants on the podium.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Yogi coined the phrase "it's not over 'til it's over."

The Yogi-ism was more of a new phrase than a botched cliché and I think it stuck around because it was so on point.

Lol, don't have to be an English major to speak properly....

But cam isn't paid to speak properly and as a fan I really don't care, it cracks me up so it's good entertainment. I do wish he'd stop saying first and foremost and stuttering though...but the cliches coming from his mental chambers are great.
