Super Bowl 50

Yeah, obviously that shot is without much context of what happens before or after. Ware does get there quick, so he probably isn't as engaged as maybe it looks. All he really does is get a palm on the ball, but that palm might have disrupted the path enough to make Cam hesitate.

But I don't think you can call it a total lost cause even if he recovers the ball. It definitely doesn't look good, but looking at Fourth-and-16 down 6 with four minutes to play looks a hell of a lot better than the opposition with the ball on your 4 up 6 with four minutes left to play. It would have taken one hell of a play to convert that fourth down, and one hell of a drive to follow it up with a touchdown, but it could have happened. Instead, they didn't get a chance.

 

BREAKING: Cam would also like us to know the sky is blue.

Newton defends himself, says he's 'sore loser'

 

The photo is misleading, though. The football is actually in the air, not on the ground at the hash mark. Ware is about 2 yards away, and almost parallel to the bouncing ball (you can see the shadow). Newton, however, is just about dead center between the hash marks -- 6-plus-yards wide. So he's three yards from the near hash mark and another yard or so to the ball itself

 

IS this a real article or from the Onion?

 

This one has been getting a lot of social media play -- when Manning left without shaking the Saints' hands.

That Time Peyton Manning Was A Bad Sport And Barely Anyone Cared

 

Peyton stiffed his opponents.

Cam stiffed the media.

Now you guys tell me which one the media is bound to be more upset about?

 

Newton didn’t dive on fumble in fear of injury

 

poor things

 

Oh, that's unfortunate.

 

Yeah, like the time he waited an hour and a half to congratulate Ray Lewis after the heartbreaking OT playoff loss to the Ravens.

 

Ugh. He'd be better off refusing to talk than that explanation. Cam, it's the Super Bowl, in the Super Bowl you take the risk. Everybody else around that ball did.

But, again, I'll give him credit for being honest instead of just spouting the usual BS.

 

BTE, that's a Devil-like argument you're making -- you seem to be arguing something that's indisputable, that he walked off the field without shaking the Saints' hands.

I didn't get worked up about that one either, didn't really care, but it is a bit of an incongruous reaction alongside Newton's press conference.
