Origin of Peter King's hate on Cam

Not sure if anyone posted this before. Cam wouldn't talk to him after a practice back in 2011.

Interesting but not too surprising: Just got stiffed at Panther camp by Cam Newton. Chose not to talk to me post-evening practice.

 

Cam hadn't even play an NFL game yet. He's been trolling Cam ever since. Pretty crazy how egotistical those sportswriters can be. It was mentioned on Firsttake how some people didn't appreciate how Peter King was trolling Cam. So it seems like that weird relationship/connection he has with Cam is not going without notice by the media. Looks like panthers' fans aren't the only ones who notice his uncanny behavior.

 

Pretty good read:

Dr David Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor at Brown University, said that five years of records showed Oscar rarely erring, sometimes proving medical staff at the New England nursing home wrong in their predictions over which patients were close to death.

 

The cat, now five and generally unsociable, was adopted as a kitten at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre in Providence, Rhode Island, which specialises in caring for people with severe dementia.

 

Dr Dosa first publicised Oscar's gift in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007. Since then, the cat has gone on to double the number of imminent deaths it has sensed and convinced the geriatrician that it is no fluke.

The tortoiseshell and white cat spends its days pacing from room to room, rarely spending any time with patients except those with just hours to live.

 

If kept outside the room of a dying patient, Oscar will scratch on the door trying to get in

Can understand why he was mad, especially if he was assured of an interview. I don't know why Peter King would fly down from New York to Spartanburg for Cam (who else was the national media covering in Panthers training camp in 2011?) if he wasn't promised a sitdown. Still though, guy needs to let it go.

Haven't read the article because it's old news, but the reason Cam wouldn't talk to King is because King was the guy who did the whole "entertainer and icon" thing around the draft.

 

Rather than provide any context as to why Newton made the comment, King chose to sensationalize it via Twitter, making Cam look like a diva.

 

So Cam stiffing him on an interview was entirely appropriate.

It should be noted King is the asshat that completely took the "entertainer and icon" comment out of context, and that's *possibly* why Cam wouldn't see him.

 

Cam ALSO refused to do interviews with a lot of people at that point, and I don't remember them all bitching.

And Bleacher Report also had their spin on it coming to the rescue of their fallen compadre.

I’m sure that Peter King wrote some critical pieces on Newton’s abilities transferring over to the NFL, but who didn’t during the time leading up to the draft. That doesn't excuse his actions of stiffing a reporter.

 

and here is the quote where it all began. The revenge quote:

 

 

With that much spite from a team’s starting quarterback, it shows that his head is not all-in on what’s going into the on-field activities.

 

Yep! Cam's head is not all on the field because he didn't bow down and kiss Peter King's ass. From that time on those asshole pass that quote among their colleagues to try to undermine the reputation of Cam. This poo really had nothing to do with what happened at Auburn. This shows how much of a piece of poo those media people are.

 

Isn't it cute how they stick together and protect their own like the Klan?

 

Sportswriters, unite against this great evil called Cam!

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
