Did I miss this?  I can't remember seeing it posted here but I think it's hilarious :lol:

I saw that at the game.  Pretty funny. Anyone with a link to the interview?

i didn't find it the first time I searched, but got it on my second try.

 

Newton: It was a team effort

[Judo Thoreau]

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this, didn't even listen to the interview. Paolantonio looked too much like ET.

That is funny.

 

TBH though, I still don't understand the towel thing.

 

Is it a habit, cold head, fashion statement?

 

Maybe I'm just too old.

Michael Jordan did it (and many other star basketball players too).  Cam has stated that's why he started doing it when he was younger, and he still does it today.

 

Pretty much that simple.

 

As far as what it does for his head?  Who the hell knows.  Probably nothing.  Or maybe it helps him to shut out all the distractions around him when he's on the sidelines and focus on the game.

Gotcha...seems strange that you would come off of a football field, and put a towel on your head....especially in Charlotte in the first half of the season.

 

I can remember how hot I was every time I was on the sideline.

In Paolantonio's case, I think it's because it was raining.

Maybe they're chilled for warm weather.

The towel head thing is simply a fashion statement in my opinion.  Like Nike Elite basketball socks, all the cool kids are doing it.  And that is Cam's angle, to wit, the Jordan reference.

[rayzor]

i kind of viewed the towel thing just like someone wearing a hat, even on the sidelines regardless of weather. it's just something you get used to doing for some reason. it was never the big deal people made it out to be. it's just a different thing to put on. probably more practical than a baseball cap if you thnk about it.

Another postgame piece from ESPN, this one with Panthers reporter David Newton and Falcons reporter Vaughn McClure...

 

Upon Further Review: Panthers-Falcons

[Gucci Mane]

Jesus there should be a philosophy class for all those who have nothing else to do besides debate the origins and motivations behind Cam wearing a piece of absorbent fabric on his head.

Look at that fake smile on Paolantonio
