Quote:Do you really think that the way Can Newton acts is genuine?    Given the way he acts, that's the worst indictment of all.   Because that would mean he genuinely has no class and genuinely has no dignity and genuinely thinks the world revolves around him.   It would mean he genuinely doesn't care about being a real leader and genuinely doesn't care about his post-game responsibilities, and genuinely doesn't care if all the kids who are his fans see him acting like a poor sport.   

 

Contrast his behavior with Russell Wilson's post game behavior after he threw the interception that lost the Super Bowl.   Contrast Russell Wilson with the genuine Cam Newton.  

 

Cam Newton is Terrell Owens or Chad Ochocinco playing Quarterback.   Or Johnny Manziel.  

 

I want these guys to suppress their genuine selves and have a little class. 

 

I do think he was genuine throughout the year, and I also think he was genuine last night.  I just think he needs to learn a bit of humility.

 

When you say suppress their genuine selves and have a little class, its what parents have to teach their kids early on in sports.  When you lose you can't just sit there and throw a temper tantrum.  You have to hold it in and show good sportsmanship.  Shake hands, do whatever you have to.  Cam is at a different level and has more obligations.....be it media, fans, the owner of the team.  He has to evolve and accept that.
