Newton could use a little more modesty and dignity

Quote:Yes...you're the drama queen. You've mastered the art of over exaggerating. Yay! Id rather be good at over exaggeration than at kissing the butt of some guy just because he can throw a spiral, but that's just me.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???
Quote:Yeah....he should probably stop making little kids dreams come true because you're tired of seeing it. We get it, you like him....but you getting offended by every little comment someone makes is just as bad as someone saying that they think he's a tad over the top. Relax.

Quote: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... For someone that isn't trying to make everyone love him, he sure does respond to a lot of posts in this thread. Guy has never been so active on this board. People aren't even killing the guy...the people that don't like it mostly say they wish he'd tone it down a bit. I think it's great. Even when he was at UF you could see the character come out at times when he was young. I think most of what he does is genuine and doesn't go over the top. TO and Ocho were much more annoying than him at times. I think something that turned a lot of people off about Cam was the whole Auburn recruitment....lets not all be naïve and act like some money didn't exchange hands at some point.

People aren't even killing the guy...the people that don't like it mostly say they wish he'd tone it down a bit. I've been active on this board since before week one. Of course when there's a topic that's related to my team I'm more involved. I don't want any of you to love my QB. That's my guy - you've got yours. There are 7+ posters on here who have the same position as I do but you guys are all over me because I'm a fan of the team. Easy target for the "your blind love" statements - I get it. I was responding to the guy who says he doesn't like Cam because he's a thief. Hell yeah I'm defensive over that. I can name 50+ positive things Cam has done and the guy on here wants to hate him for a mistake he made when he was 18?!? That's absolutely insane for anyone to feel that way about anybody and I stand by that (and it's obvious by the posts in here that I'm not alone) You want to hate Cam because he's a crappy QB or because he beat your team or whatever then go for it. I couldn't care less. But if you want to discredit a man's character for a BS reason then the issue is with you.
Quote:Wow that is a removed word on here? Funny....Just wait... Soon we are going to ban Cam from this board just like the Seahawks want to ban him from the Link. People are so righteous! We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Quote:I've been active on this board since before week one. Of course when there's a topic that's related to my team I'm more involved. We are "all over you" because you respond to every single person that has a negative perception of your quarterback. Get over it...it's the NFL. Not every player is loved.
Quote:Just wait... Soon we are going to ban Cam from this board just like the Seahawks want to ban him from the Link. You guys are acting like its a majority of people that hate Cam though....its not. Most people enjoy watching him and what he does on the field. It's being blown entirely out of proportion.
Quote:Just wait... Soon we are going to ban Cam from this board just like the Seahawks want to ban him from the Link. That's pretty funny actually
Quote:I've been active on this board since before week one. Of course when there's a topic that's related to my team I'm more involved. One more thing, want to know who got this anti Cam movement started? Your hometown newspaper. So if you're going to go after people for talking trash about Cam you should protest your local paper. They had no reason to publish those silly letters to the editor. The only reason they did it was to get cheap buys and clicks and it worked....the problem was the story blew up and other teams fans that disliked him knew they had a chance to get published now. Those simple minded people that want their 15 minutes will do whatever it takes. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Trust me when they did that they got a ton of heat. But you know how these newspapers are these days - anything to sell copies and get the clicks. When we played Green Bay they put Rodgers on the cover of the sports section. The Observer is bad.
Interesting article on Newton and Race relations in America.

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.
I'm so sorry I said anything about him being not so classy. I don't know what I was thinking.
In other news: Wadded fan-boy panties on message boards are kinda' funny. ![]() Cam? Kim Kardashian called. She wants her spanx back. We show less advertisements to registered users.

I never said he should stop doing it, but rather that it's beginning to feel somewhat self serving because of all the attention it receives and it goes beyond just Cam. Your team didn't invent giving footballs to kids in the stands, but you guys are the only team I've seen that "fights" with defenders to get the ball back so they can hand it to someone in the stands. Maybe I am wrong, but I think part of the reason they do that is because of the praise that's heaped upon them afterwards. Cam and the rest of your team are free to do what they want and you're free to love every minute of it, but that doesn't mean I can't get burned out by seeing it plastered everywhere.
Quote:Way to cherry pick and use hyperbole there. Cam's been doing it for 5 years now. No one in the media said anything about it until they started winning. He's always done it and no one ever thought it was self-severing before. And he only has to "fight" with defenders because they're purposefully trying to keep the ball away from him. Hell...when I was at the game in New Orleans the ref wouldn't give Cam the ball.. He tossed it to the ballboy. Cam ran over to get the ball from him and even the ballboy tried to keep it from him. However, the 5'1" 235lb 20 year old was no match.
Quote:I'm so sorry I said anything about him being not so classy. I don't know what I was thinking. Guess we gotta do something fun to kill time until each of our teams' next game. |
