Cam Newton Needs To Stop Arguing With High Schoolers

Nobody spends more time entertaining mouthy high-schoolers and their shit-talk than Cameron Newton. Does he realize that he doesn't have to respond to every needledick 15-year-old that thinks it'll be cool to troll him and livestream it for clout? He is Cam Newton, after all. Does he know he doesn't have to take the bait? It seems as though the answer is: no, he does not. 

Remember when he argued with this kid at his camp?

I'll be the first to say, it's pretty disrespectful to act that way at an event that Cam Newton is hosting, especially as a nobody. The ruse worked, these kids got their views, but it ended with the high-schooler issuing a Notes app apology on Twitter that made it all the way to ESPN. Cam didn't not handle it well, about as well as you could if you make the conscious decision to engage, but nobody cares who this kid was and Cam kinda looked like a colossal dork in the process.  

Old Cam Newton at Auburn was solely responsible for a national championship then went on to change the quarterback position forever with the Panthers. Prestigious talent and an absolute force in his prime - nobody can take that away from him.

Current, thin-skinned Cam Newton is still releasing hype videos for his next comeback and hanging out at high school 7-on-7 passing camps. This is where he hit "Kyle Santangelo" with the weirdest jerking off motion ever, an epic own coming from a 34-year-old. All because the kid asked him how many rings he had. Cam defaulted to his trademark "I'm rich" argument, his ace in the hole. While this is true, I guess, it's still less funny than the kid saying they have the same amount of rings. Has he learned nothing from the previous viral encounter he had? If he didn't respond to every Timmy and Jimmy that said something to him from the sidelines, maybe they'd stop doing it so much. 

Also, how many times can Cam go viral before he realizes he just comes off as remarkably lame talking about how rich he is? We get it, man. Everyone knows you're rich, that's exactly why you don't have to justify saying these things out loud in response to literal high school boys trying to use you for views! He just can't help himself. It might be time to consider not responding to these kids if they're gonna act like assholes, just a thought from a PR perspective.

The Pete Weber Celebration Breakdown

Image
Originally written 10/31/19 Close your eyes and picture this, if you will. What's the single most memorable, prolific sports celebration that pops into your head? Any sport, any athlete, any era. What was it for you? Maybe it was Tiger Woods on the 16th hole, jarring a chip from off the back of the green in the final round of the 2005 Masters. Perhaps you’re envisioning Brandi Chastain celebrating shirtless after netting the penalty kick to win the 1999 World Cup. Or maybe it's Michael Jordan elevating over Craig Ehlo, hanging in the atmosphere for an immaculate split second, then draining the game winner and unloading several emphatic fist pumps. You can open your eyes now. I’m sorry to inform you that whatever you just pictured in your head is incorrect, and also stupid. The greatest sports celebration that ever was didn’t take place on a field, nor a pitch, nor a court. No, the greatest celebration ever went down on a bowling alley. It all unfolded and history was made on...

FFB Week 10: Twelve Takeaways

Image
WELCOME BACK.  Another Wednesday, Twelve more Takeaways from this past week's action.  Alright, that's enough small-talk. Let's ride.  1. We had ourselves a good, old-fashioned Thursday night Ja'Marr Chase points explosion. More like a pants explosion for people that started him, am I right?  Anyways, it was a night to remember for Ja'Marr Chase fantasy owners as he more or less won a good portion of the matchups he was a part of before they got started. The feeling of dread for folks that were going against him and didn't check the box score until the next morning is the stuff of fantasy nightmares.  Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns in the contest putting up 49.90 fantasy points in half-PPR leagues, a performance for the ages.  Somehow, the Bengals lost the game and fell to 4-6, BUT if you're a fan of bargain buys they're +130 to make the playoffs and Joe Burrow is in God-mode with two straight QB1 finishes.  After going nuclear t...

A Celebration Of The 2001 Creed Super Bowl Halftime Show

Image
A Frame by Frame Celebration of: "The Halftime Show" by Creed That's right, folks. We're taking it back to the year 2001 and Creed had just blessed the music community with their third studio album, Weathered.  This album was the springboard that catapulted them into the epicenter of the early 2000's rock storm alongside other juggernauts such as Nickelback, Staind, and Hoobastank. Naturally, they were a top choice for the NFL's Thanksgiving halftime show and to say they delivered would be a gross understatement. Let me give a little background before we start dissecting the footage. This particular halftime show took place on November 22nd, 2001 - roughly two months after 9/11 and two days after Weathered had been released. What better way to honor America and promote the new album than to turn the amps up to 11 and melt the collective faces of NFL fans across the country? As if Creed shredding wasn't metal enough, the accompanying acts propelled this i...
