I hope Cam Newton interviews with NFL teams better than he did yesterday....

When he stated that he is an "icon and an entertainer" and "what I did in one year, most can't accomplish in their college career". I hope he's ready to be grilled from the inside-out, if not, he'll be eaten alive....regardless how he looks in Under Armour gear. He needs to curb his arrogance a tad, and don't speak in third person.

Cam isn't the best speaker ever. As usual, folks as re making a lot out of largely meaningless words. Icon? A bit over the top. Sayng he is an entertainer shows a better unerstanding of what the NFL is, and his job in the NFL, than many veterans have.

Cam is doing what most potential 1st round QBs won't. A complete workout at the combine. NFL scouts and personnel folks wont be put off by some cockiness. They expect it. His words are fodder for talk radio and the innerwebs, but if thats as bad as it gets, it won't hurt him at all.

Cam sees himself as the next Bo Jackson. The next Deon. The next Herschel. The next Michael Jordan.

All of them were cocky, arrogant, and one step away from looney.

But they backed it up, and honestly, Cam did have one of if not the most dominating performances in college football history.

He's basically allowed to say, "Cam is a demigod like Hercules and all should understand that there is no competition when I step on the field."

Until someone stops him (see high school championships, Blinn NC, and Auburn NC with Heisman trophy and numerous records), he can talk all he wants.

So were Ryan Leaf, Jeff George, and Freddie Mitchell (well Freddie wasn't one step away). Unfortunately Cam will bring those names to the minds of GM's also.

I agree with what I heard on Colin Cowherd yesterday though. The teams that care about stuff like this don't need a QB. The teams that do pick early and need a QB (Buffalo and Cincinnati) don't really care about their player's showing some personality.

It was a Peter King interview (which I don't think has a transcript out there). Peter asked him how he saw himself/where he wanted to be and Cam responded with the above quote.

To me the quote is fairly innocuous as a response to a question. If he had just called up Peter and said, "Hey Petey, I'm gonna be an icon/entertainer. K Bye!" that would be different.

Guess he held in check as long as he could stand it. I won't tire of the shit talk if he makes a team and can back it up. The worst kind are those that start out well and then start singling out others and laying blame for failure. I generally watched Bo and Deione while tuning them out completely. Highlights reels served me well in those days.

Cowherd and that Maycock fuck throwing dirt at Cam today.

That maycock bastard can fuck a Chinese goat.

Is this the same Mark May that does the show with Lou Holtz? I wonder what has turned him against Cam here lately? He was actually sticking up for him during the drama and was one of the few that I noticed that thought AU was going to win the NC.

Cowherd's a front runner. Yesterday he was saying the comments didn't bother him.

Cowherd gets it right much of the time but I guess he woke up with an anti-Cam piss hard.

I saw him at Nana Funks one time.

And this happened.

You can see me in the corner demanding the person with a camera get this on film.

No, I got caught up in that one a couple of weeks ago. I think its actually Mike May or something like that.
