I'm not even really sure why we are even relating Cam Newton to Russell Wilson.

It's not about being Russel Wilson or any other person. It's about being a professional, as so many others have said. There are certain things expected of all adults, not just athletes. When you've been anointed as the "leader" of your team, you don't act like that. The Superbowl is NOT more important than any big moment in a regular person's life. It's just perceived that way because it's a national and, to an extent, global event.

The point there being is that there are far worse things that can happen to a person than losing the Superbowl. Yeah, you should be disappointed, and it's understandable to be dejected. But just answer the questions and deal with the rest of your emotions later. It will pass. Nobody died out there.
