Cam Newton getting ripped for getting up and leaving (i.e. not facing the music) in the post-game presser.

I wish there had been a prop bet for this cause i would have nailed it lol

 

[jstewismybastardson]

That said, Von Miller is a joy to watch.

Yah hes an alright player i guess ... But him doing this puts him in another stratosphere

Well he is a confident black man who celebrates too much for some people, especially when he is playing a position that he shouldn't be in some people's opinion. Of course he will be ripped to shreds.

j/k partially

It takes a special kind of person to confidently answer the same question, simply reworded ten times, while listening to a jubilant Denver CB speaking loudly right next to you separated by a curtain. People are taking it like a temper tantrum...I'm pretty sure he just didn't want to say something that would bite him in the ass. The guy clearly needs to grow up some, but he was owned and frustrated by a fantastic pass rush, he knew it. That team is 100% Cam Newton. They go as he goes. Of course that's true of most teams and their QB (except Denver...), but they were one dimensional most of the year. So I'm confident the guy feels he failed miserably (because he did), and it reflected. He deserves criticism, but the hyperbole drives me bonkers. I have guys that I irrationally dislike, but at least I say it's irrational.

Cam just needs some recovery water, he'll be fine.

I could really care less about the press conference departure. The only thing that bothers me at all was watching the fumble instead of trying to recover it.

He wasn't good, but who on the Carolina offense was? Cam and Ginn were the only players who showed up at all, even though they both made mistakes.

I used to be a nice guy pix, but as I age, I'm just becoming cranky and bitter.

Carolina can be pretty warm, I wonder if the Panthers have the Zika virus.

The game just never looked easy for them, at any point. Cam over threw plenty of times, but then having Cotchery forget how to catch a ball, or hitting guys and being short of first by about a yard. Little breaks didn't happen in that first half, and they never got the confidence going. Then a decent drive, missed FG. It was an easy season for them, I suppose that's why people talk about needing that experience with adversity in championship games. Suddenly nothing came easy for their offense.

That catch that was ruled to not be a catch and then reviewed to not be a catch even though it was obviously a fucking catch really screwed them once the ensuing play turned into a turnover and eventual FG. That could've changed everything.

That led to the strip/sack/TD, didn't it? And yeah, it was huge. The NFL needs to do *something* about catch v. not a catch. What really sucked about that one is that the guy who called it incomplete was the side judge who was NO WHERE near enough to see the ball and was on the wrong side of the field. If that's called a catch on the field, it's upheld. I just wish common sense was a thing.

Thanks, Pix, for the tagline.

Hey remember when Peyton stormed off the field after losing the SB to the Saints and didnt shake anyone's hands? Here is how one writer described that:

Walking off the field without congratulating Drew Brees may go against our misguided notion of what sportsmanship should be, but it wasn't at all disrespectful or bitter. It shows how much Peyton Manning wanted to win the game. And who can argue about that?

And another player is classless or a poor leader because he left a press conference in which he was sitting next to someone joyously explaining how they stopped him.

I wonder what the difference is.

Cam Newton has never hosted SNL comeds.

What's funny too is that Cam found Peyton and congratulated him with a smile.

That was absolutely terrible.



I have no idea how they got that wrong. It really was the turning point of the game.
