Cam Newton on New Orleans Saints: ‘Let’s not forget their real history’

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton gave the New Orleans Saints some bulletin board material on Thursday.

During Newton’s news conference in Charlotte on Thursday, a reporter asked about the Saints sending him a broom last year after a 3-0 sweep that included the Saints beating the Panthers in the wild card round of the playoffs.

“Disrespectful,” Newton said of the broom gift.

It’s unclear the origin of the broom he and the reporter were discussing, but at least one fan sent a broom to Newton last year after the postseason game.

Newton said he keeps the broom, which is still wrapped in its packaging, in his locker, and it provides a daily reminder of that disrespect. He hopes to have a chance to return it to the sender.

In addition to the broom, Newton received a bottle of Jordan wine from Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan after the playoff game, but Newton said he and Jordan saw each other after that game and indicated everything is fine between them.

“At the end of the day, we respectively dislike each other on the field,” Newton said Thursday. “Off the field, it’s a different story.”

However, after giving a brief rundown of the broom issue, Newton decided to give the Saints a little extra motivation heading into Monday night’s matchup a few minutes after praising this year’s squad.

“At the end of the day, the Saints of this past year and this year, like, we all know what the Saints used to be, right? So, let’s not forget their real history,” Newton said. “So, I mean, they got the juice, but at the end of the day, we’re coming Monday with a cup for our own, too.”
