Super Bowl 50

[Dick Whitman]

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

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?

 

[BTExpress]

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?

 

[BTExpress]

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 "fork this shirt, let me out of here" moment you're trying to make it out to be.

 

[LongTimeListener]

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?

 

[Dick Whitman]

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

 

[BTExpress]

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

90 minutes is too long to be debating this shirt.

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

 

[TyWebb]

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

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

Peyton stiffed his opponents.

Cam stiffed the media.

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

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.
