I'm sure race plays some role in this, but let's also look at media darling Russell Wilson. He's an African American QB that can do no wrong. Dude throws the most epic fail pass in Super Bowl history and it's like he wasn't even in on the play if you ask the media...it's all about "How could Pete Carroll call that play!" He's been given an adoring treatment from the media. So personality may play some role in this. RW presents himself as a goodie goodie Christian that's a swell guy...and maybe that's pretty accurate...

Just sayin...personality could play a minor role too in some of the distaste for Cam.

Read the ESPN the magazine article about Cam this week.

His point that cam newton doesn't come off like the brightest crayon in the shed still stands. In fact, I'd bet his *misoelling of 'edumacation' is about how cam would say 'edumacation.'

*missoelling has two S's...

Let's review;

If a white guy is a doosh and gets criticized for being a doosh it quite alright.

If a black guy is a doosh and gets criticized for being a doosh it's because of racism.

Oh shit...looks like you are on fire again today!!!


Proper grammar calls for a comma instead of 3 periods and only one exclamation point.

Sounds about right.

Conversely, if a white guy acts stupid, it's because he's just stupid.

But If a black guy acts stupid, it's because he's a stupid n**g*r.

Well...as valuable as your advice is (given all your experience), I think Newton is doing just fine on his own.

BTW...wtf is "edumacion"??? I believe "term" you were looking for is "edumacation", but nice effort...:L

Yes. Google "edumacation" and then google "edumacion" He was going for "edumacation".


Shut up.

Valid point if I was insulting your intelligence. I wasn't.

I don't call out grammar, spelling, etc in all posts. Just the ones that are insulting someone else's intelligence. It's just bad form.

I think with Russell Wilson not getting shit for the SuperBowl interception, you have to take into consideration that it was the correct read on the play and it wasn't a bad throw. It was more a great play by Malcolm Butler and poor play calling by the Seahawks.
