Super Bowl 50

OK. It is hereby conceded that there was another time when he did not stiff his opponent after a playoff loss.

 

You know that he specifically waited around for Ray Lewis?

 

No. Maybe he just couldn't find his way out of his home stadium, and more than 90 minutes after the game ended he just happened to find himself in the opponents' locker room and just happened to bump into a fellow veteran who just happened to be on a retirement tour. You're right. Just a freak coincidence.

 

Again -- does this mean he didn't walk off the field without shaking the Saints' hands?

 

No. But he did call Brees later in the evening to congratulate him. Said Brees: "Peyton's a class guy."

This from the man who was supposedly snubbed.

It really was not the "fuck this shit, let me out of here" moment you're trying to make it out to be.

 

It was definitely a moment that hyperventilating critics could have noted, and they didn't. As I said, it didn't bother me at the time and it doesn't bother me now. But I think it's a clear sign of the differing standards applied to Newton.

 

Did you expect him to leave in his equipment?

Is 90 minutes a long time to have not left after a game?

 

It's not unreasonable, also, to think he might have been sticking around for a meeting with Charlie Sly.

 

90 minutes is too long to be debating this shit.

 

Conan had a pretty good spoof the Cam Newton press conference last night.

 

Did not realize this. That's a good call. It definitely helps explain how Ware got there so fast.

 

Is the media that upset, or just judgmental? And is it really the media? I've seen quite a few media members ripping the questions and the setting.

Newton didn't stiff the media. He came. He sulked. He acted like an ass.

He doubled down today and acted like even more of a fool. Whoever gives the guy media advice sucks at it.
