The reason Cam Newton walked out on the press conference

Very strange the NFL would set up the press conferences that way, with the opponents so close together. Very stupid.

It matters.

.

Just as the question about his horrible effort on the fumble Was asked.

He's an immature ass. Talented one, but a sore loser when things don't go his way. Or when they do, a arrogant jerk

That def is different take on it. Harris was LOUD too. I imagine it'd be tough to do an interview in the same room as all the guys who just beat you in the super bowl.

he's clearly tuning out of his conference and listening to Harris.

Now does it matter that he can't take the heat from a player talking about him in another room vs. some sports writer? No, of course not.

This doesn't absolve him of how he acted at the press conference. All he's done is give ammo to the his critics. Really stupid move by him. He clearly doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks, but still, he deserves to be called out for it.

and I don't even care that much about his comments in the presser. I can't imagine how I would be feeling in that moment after losing the SB.

But you're supposed to be a professional and this is a job requirement. Suck it up and quit being a baby when the game doesn't go your way.

That would be his problem. Prime example.

either way i dont care but to see your "leader" sulk and be down like that, fuck it would suck. Hell look at Russel Wilson at the end of his game. He still believed even when it seemed all hope is lost. "biggest comeback ever" he said that over and over to his team. This guy looks for flags to help.

worked. Now I believe Carolina can throw the ball, but Denver made Carolina look like they didn't belong there.

isn't making him look any better. He's still a petulant twat...

.

How does explaining that he walked out because somebody hurt his feelings make him look any more mature?

never have. It has nothing to do with colour or race...it has to do with class and how to handle yourself in these tough situations. Doesn't matter if it was Newton or Aaron Rodgers...you handle these things like a man, not a pouty adolescent.

Can you imagine Russell Wilson doing that? It is a shame that Newton and others have chosen to frame the way people feel about him on such a stupid level. It is all about actions and acting like a man, not a child.

Let's hope the next stage in his development is to become a mature man.

Proclaiming this as Newton's excuse and said it's not Cams fault.

Petulant child acts like a brat, takes his ball and goes home - yet we should somehow think otherwise because there is another interview going on nearby? Please.

and wouldn't dive after a ball ....Nope, the kid had to shut up or deliver....He played terribly ...which is one thing, showed no guts after the fumble and no guts at the press conference.

Is the guy who posts here under the handle "Gutless Puke"

And he has two coaches at the presser signaling to him to not act like a twat. Insufferable...

Oh, noes, he heard someone from the Broncos mocking his shitty performance? Better go pout with a towel over his head, stat!

Hey, Chris Harris is just having fun out there! Why is Cam such a hater?

:-)

how can you puke w/o a gut?

How do you think if Cam won the game and was MVP?

To me I think he'd act exactly the same just on the other end of the scale....a spoiled Bratty child

All it does is show Cam's true colors and thin skin... Whether it was about the questions asked of him, or about Denver's game plan makes no difference. That is not the way to conduct yourself at a presser.

How do you think cam would act if he won the game and was MVP

"He acted more like Louis Lane than Superman both on the field (not diving for that fumble) and off the field (presser)

A guy who can dish it out with all the dancing and posing but can't take it in return.

.

was because he only lost once coming into this game. Same guy. It won't be long before apologists can no longer point to his age as an excuse. It's his character.

Mean the same guy who was yucking it up on our sideline and taking a Eli throw away like he was returning it for a td has his feelings hurt over that???

'our gameplan was to make them one dimensional and pass the ball to beat us' (smart considering Carolina has pedestrian at best WRs) -- isnt exactly taunting now is it?

Lame excuse and shame on some in the media for buying it.

also tell Cam to wear his hoodie up?

Seriously, I can't believe someone from the Panthers organization didn't tell him to uncover his head. It made him look petulant and closed off, just as much as his responses and actions did.

Cam is just having fun though, ya know!

Couldn't be any clearer that he is a arrogant douche, but alas there are still those that feel the need to defend him. He's a great talent, incredibly skilled, but I just can't root for someone as obnoxious, and immature as this guy.

But I don't think it changes anything.

Cam is a frontrunner.

for showing some passion and humanity in the game.

It think tts refreshing to see some guys aren't robots.

being within earshot of players from the winning team totally sucks. It also must suck to lose a Super Bowl, but someone please find me a Super Bowl losing QB who pouted like that.

Cam dances and celebrates when he wins and pouts and sulks when he loses the big game. That didnt surprise me at all. I would have been surprised if he stood up and did what he had to do after the game despite the loss. You know he had some garish, tacky suit ready had they won, but he donned a hoodie to hide after a loss.

I didnt think much of his antics on the field this season because he was really great, however, I did not like the sideline group photos when the game was still on. Now after his pouty post game, I'm not giving this guy anything, he is a classless winner and a classless loser. Asshole. Active destroyer of the concept of sportsmanship.

If you're going to showboat when things are going your way, be man enough to take your lumps when you get your ass beaten. Otherwise, shut up.

I am more upset about his effort on the fumble. That's all I need to know about that guy.

But in the grand scheme of things don't hot dog around the field and press when things are going good if you can't take the heat. Being up there is a part of his job and he gets paid a lot of money for it.

Btw how you been man. Lost contact with you over the years and had to change my Handle when this place got hacked.

I get that it was basically them daring Cam to beat them - but is that supposed to come as some sort of a shock?

he basically just said they wanted to make Carolina one dimensional and beat them by passing.

One could take that personally, as Cam clearly did. But they never said 'we're going to make Cam's arm beat us'

I personally took it as Denver knew Carolina's WR suck ... and game planned accordingly.

In any event, what teams dont try to take the oppositions best player or two and one aspect (run game, whatever) away from them? Somewhat standard stuff here unless I'm missing something.

I'm not sure how having a prepared touchdown dance shows passion in the game.

Make them go to Manningham.

know Cam was listening. He was just explaining the game plan. When he found out he apologized and blamed the NFL for putting the two conferences so close together.

Even if he was handed to the Giants for nothing. Poor excuse for a professional football player . Thank God we have Eli Manning.
