I'm sorry you feel offended.

I'm not offended at all. I'm sorry you can't support your claim.

He stole a laptop. I don't trust thieves.

 

Pretty cut and dry there. No need to be snide.

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

He didn't steal a laptop - he bought a stolen laptop - when he was 18. Time to get over yourself.

Okay, that's something I didn't know. Thank you for letting me know.


Time to stop acting like I just insulted your husband, though.

did he know it was stolen?

No, he said he bought the laptop, he was arrested for stealing it. You aren't required to attend anti-theft counseling for buying stolen merchandise.


So maybe you need to get over yourself just a bit too.

I was fine with Cam Newton for most of the season, although he is starting to wear on me a bit. For me, it's similar to my dislike of JJ Watt and I think it has to do with two things:

 

First, is the sports media. This isn't really the players' fault, but the media loves to find a budding star and then immediately proceeds to run them into the ground with constant coverage. They get over saturated to the point where any stories, even new ones, just begin to wear on you.

 

Second, I think both tend to put on a bit of a show for the cameras and play themselves up to the media. I don't doubt that both of them are nice people and do good things in their communities, but I never get the feeling either are completely genuine whenever I hear them. Watt did his whole "live in a cabin in the woods cause I'm humble" shtick last offseason when in reality he was essentially living in a somewhat rural mansion. During Hard Knocks, while the cameras were on him, he also stayed a couple hours after practice to make sure everyone that wanted an autograph got one and then worked out by himself. Newton's football giveaways after touchdowns and all the dabs have started to have a similar feeling to me. It feels like it's not just about the actions, but also about the praise/publicity that comes with said actions.

 

Having said all that, I'm not sure would have gotten tired of either of them if it wasn't for all the coverage they've received for even relatively mundane things.

Hey...who knew buying a $1000 stereo system out of the back of a van for 80 bucks was a bad thing?? :teehee:

People who act like an 18 year old college kid who made a dumb mistake (that didn't harm anyone physically) and has been nothing but a model citizen since shouldn't be allowed a second chance are the ones who need to check themselves. If you judge him for that 8 years later then you're either a saint or a hypocrite. And I'm pretty sure I know which one it is.

Yeah....he should probably stop making little kids dreams come true because you're tired of seeing it.


You can't make this stuff up.

Jeezus.. Some of you are so pathetic to judge what a damn kid did in college.. Its called "part of the growing up process". And if any of you try to say that you've never done anything wrong as a kid, you're a damn liar..


Pathetic

What I don't get is why people get their panties in a wad over guys playing a game and having a little fun with making a big play. In the end, it is a game. It is meant to provide entertainment, and for the players to have fun while doing it. Don't want them to celebrate? Don't let them score.

I'm not judging him for it at all, if you read my previous post on the subject you'd realize that. I was just correcting your misinformation and suggesting you get over yourself some too and this intense need to make everyone love the guy like you do. He's the QB of your favorite team and you are all fan girling over him, and there is nothing wrong with that...at all. But there is also nothing wrong with someone not liking him for the way he parts his hair...or whatever silly reason they choose. To each their own.


Cam Newton is a grown man and if he's not running around trying to defend his actions to anyone, why do you feel the need to do it for him? Haters aren't bothering him...don't let them bother you either.

He has a parting?..

80% of what I talk about is nonesense.. the other 25% is made up statistics...

He could...I don't judge.

If he does, I'ma start hating him for it.

I'm not trying to make anyone love him. Stop being such a drama queen. All I'm doing is pointing out how stupid their hate is. It wouldn't matter if it was Cam or any non-celebrity. Their logic is flawed and their prejudice isn't "ok" like you've put it.


This is a message board where topics are discussed. That's all this is. Just like you say I don't need to defend Cam you don't need to defend people with idiotic logic. Let the guy explain what he means.


Edit: and no one was talking to you until you came to the rescue so don't assume I meant you.

You're about to have a litter of kittens because not everyone is loving on your man crush and I'm the one being a drama queen? Okay...

You don't seem to realize that your blind love of the guy is just as stupid as their hate is. Have you said anything even slightly negative about the guy on here at all?

Yes...you're the drama queen. You've mastered the art of over exaggerating. Yay!
