Cam Newton: Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser

ScottF · 02-10-2016, 11:40 AM

This f'in guy.
Up until he had to open his mouth again I didn't have a problem with the interview. I know I am in the minority, but I'm tired of the 'give them credit' , 'they're a great team' blah blah bs. He was pissed, and didn't want to talk about it. Been there.
But this a$$hat has to blame everyone else, give a piss-poor explanation, and remind me that I should have continued to hate him 100% instead of 98% for two days

Russell Wilson threw a game lossing pass. He sat there and answered every question with class an dignity. I don't really like him either
, i have a lot of respect for him.

Cam acted like a little baby. I'm not saying it's easy. You just can't act like he did.

So who's kidding who, he knew what he was doing.

Thought it was kinda' chicken **** under the circumstances, I did understand that you don't want your QB risking injury scrumming with defensive lineman for a ball. It was the SuperBowl though, not like you got another game next week, #shrug.

No? I just sealed the game, that's all...dumbass.

Let's do the math, shall we? 15pts scored off two Cam Newton turnovers, 14pt margin of victory = -1, so yeah, maybe they did lose the game over that fumble ... or two, #shrug.

Show Me a Good Loser and I'll Show You a Flawed Vince Lombardi Quote

Cam Newton used a Vince Lombardi quote to answer critics who took issue with the way he conducted himself after Carolina’s Super Bowl 50 loss.

“Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser,” Newton said.

Lombardi’s words are considered gospel in football circles. There is a certain poetic nature to see the future of the NFL use wisdom from the first Super Bowl winner.

The only problem is that the quote doesn’t hold up to much dissection.

What it’s supposed to imply is that losing should be seen as unacceptable and make the vanquished hot with fire, so it never happens again. It’s a fine sentiment and has obvious merit — especially for a football coach trying to get his team to rebound. What it also implies is that those that are “good” at losing are doing it wrong. That coping with a loss can be done one way and one way alone.

Sound familiar? It’s the reason why Newton is in the position to answer questions about his behavior in the first place ...

Show me a sore loser and I'll show you a loser.

"I don't have to conform to what anybody wants. I am my own person,"

Yep, the self centered, narcissistic, sore loser you've always been. And with the statement you made above, you have no plans on changing that.

You know, I don't begrudge the whole "I'm unique" , "my Mom told me I was special" thing Cam's got going on, we're all special, our own persons and need our daily affirmations now & again, more so if you're in the public eye, I would imagine ... but I do expect him to act as an adult & a professional. Nothing "conforming" about that, #shrug. Be an individual, be unique ... cool, just quit acting like a petulant child for crissake!

What's so hard about that?

Since it appears that Cam likes Vince Lombardi quote, here are a few more.

"If you can't accept losing, you can't win."

"Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is."

"Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."

And a very special one for Cam.

"When you go into the end zone, act like you've been there before."

Scam will become the next Marino, except Marino was a better QB than Newton.
