Super Bowl 50

Cam getting upset because he heard someone gloating or bragging. I fucking love it.

 

Guy who wears heart on sleeve continues to wear heart on sleeve.

 

I'm glad the media is settling into its new role as the watchdog of players' post-game reactions. Society collapses when a player who is happy when he wins gets angry when he loses.

 

You can try and have it both ways, but you can't always get you want

 

No. I don't know that.
I think you are picking and choosing to suit your argument. Who are these "people"?

The same people calling out Newton and Serena are probably calling out Bellichik and Saban and Aron Rodgers.
I think your picking out "people" who are calling out Newton and adding a the lazy claim that other guys get more leeway because they are white. Again, show me an example of one person calling out Newton, but giving a white guy a pass for the same thing? Jason Whitlock? Bayless? Petey King? Anyone? A sportswriter for Klan Sports Quarterly doesn't count.

 

Certainly adds a bit more context to why he left - not that it matters to the #HotTakez crowd.

 

First off: How about some examples or evidence? (Sorry to go all DW here)
Second: The fact they don't say anything is a little different than condoning or excusing it.... If I work that beat, Yeah, I prolly won't whelp about shittiness of Bellichick's presser every time I'm on social media or every chance I get.

I want to see allllllllll these "people" who are beating up on Newton while loving Bubba Watson?

 

The people "calling out" Newton are doing so because they need something to talk/write about and they take a no-so-subtle joy in "knocking people down a peg," if only in their own minds.

They're also probably the only people left on the planet who look to athletes to be moral compasses.

And, they take great offense when someone exposes this part of their profession - the "press conference" - as the mockery it has long since become.

 

Then stop cheering when he gives a football to a child after a touchdown, like it is some prophetic act or evidence of some deep belief. Stop cheering his youthful exuberance if behavior that doesn't fit that narrative must be set aside or ignored.
Anyone who dislikes his genuine reaction in the loss are fools. But, his behavior in the loss puts his behavior in victory or accomplishment in context.

 

A website in New York sent an intern from Oklahoma to shoot the game.

What context would that be?

Him being a meanypants to the media doesn't change that he's done some nice things for kids or his community.

And, he's not running for office. He's under no obligation to be "mature" or "consistent" for anyone except in thr confines of what his team finds acceptable.
