I'm more concerned about what he was thinking on that fumble than anything else.

sulk sad. Why everyone ask sulk questions????

I get that he was pissed. And I agree with Lombardi -- "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser" (a quote that Cam made earlier today, as I understand it).

Having said all that, there's a difference between being pissed about the loss and not being OK with it, and acting as he did. And I don't care about the celebration in the background upsetting him either. You got beat. Badly. Deal with it. Be a man.

I have found Cam annoying all season (I hate the showboating -- maybe I am old school, but I miss Riggo and how when he used to score, he'd hand the ball to the refs). But the Superman nonsense? The dabbing? STFU and play football.

He did play football, his team went 16-2.

Well, for one thing, there's more than just guys born in the 1940's watching pro football. There's children of all ages, young people of all ages, and the celebrating is as much a part of the game as the field goals in their eyes. I personally think people should lighten up and not get so butt hurt over Cam Netwon (not referring to you Calia, just a general statement to the masses.) He dabs. He does his Superman thing. Who cares? Ickey Woods did his Ickey shuffle. The Fun Bunch did their group high five in the end zone. Some of the older Cowgirl receivers used to do their silly little six-shooter celebration in the endzone. Dez does his X-factor thing. You have some players who are low-key, others want to be seen. Such as in life. And of the most part, ol' Fig Newton has backed it up with a solid year. He's a good player.

I mean, maybe the fans should just do golf claps when their team scores instead of yelling and screaming and doing chest bumps? Sounds silly, right? Why not let the guys have fun? And come on, I'd be pretty bummed too if I just lost the Super Bowl. Unless your name is Tom Brady, who's to say your next chance to get back into the big show is within another year or so?

A half a year is too soft! The dude is dirty! I'm glad we didn't go after him when he was available.

Honestly, I think personal foul penalties committed that close to the goal line should be an automatic TD, or at least some sort of score. Half a distance penalty in this case wound up being 1 1/2 yard penalty. Pretty much a free dirty shot!

In NFL Network, right after the game, he said he did it to prevent the TD. I think a lot of people will do this, so the rule that Goodell proposed (two PF's and you're ejected) makes sense.

However, my issue with that rule is how subjective refs are with QB hits and helmet-to-helmet hits.

I'd be curious to see how many people were passionately upset when Peyton walked off the field after he lost to the Saints in 2010's Super Bowl.

I'm not condoning what Cam did, it was very disappointing to see what he did. Hopefully he'll learn from this. But people are acting like he literally told everyone to f*ck off in the presser.

I don't care about the dancing or the celebrating with Cam...that's who he is. No problem what so ever.

Did you watch the presser? "fuck off" was clearly the message. He wasn't responsible for a thing in his eyes. He had a chance to compose himself and act like a professional...clearly he isn't.

He has a chance to be face of the NFL....clearly failed in his first attempt with 1) his play...god awful, bottom 10 performances by a QB in a SB and 2) Handling the spotlight after the game.


Manning is a good example, but Belicheat & Brady leaving early after 2008 SB is my favorite "NO CLASS" moment

Just a few years ago the newest hot young QB to challenge the old QB guard was in the Super Bowl and lost and he wasn't happy but this shit didn't happen with him,now he wants to play for the Jets.

I would agree here. The media is just taking this and pounding it into the ground.

I'll say this: he wants that big, shiny camera on him for EVERY shtick he has (towel around head, Superman pose, dabbing, giving the ball to the kids). If he wants that camera, he's going to get it in good times and bad.

[skinsfan69]

In the end, that was a terrible Super Bowl. If I didn't 20 prop bets I might have fallen asleep.

[Ruhskins]

If people want to lose their sh*t and complain about a current NFL player (although not for long), go to the NFL and stuff thread and complain about this:

Johnny Manziel's strike ruptured ex-girlfriend's eardrum, her lawyer says

[skinsfan69]

N C Skins...he had a bad play there, it happens. Maybe it was a brain fart or a split second type of thing where he felt he couldn't get to the ball the way he was standing. Probably came out wrong by him saying he didn't want to injure himself by tying to get the ball. But Cam Newton is not a pussy. How many NFL QB's have you ever seen run the ball into the teeth of NFL defenses the way he does? And continue to stay healthy? Cam's a stud and a tough as nails QB, just had a bad play.
