jeezus, people give it a rest! it was sickening to see this showboat of a person being glorified by tv last night!
yes, he's a great player, but in the grand scheme of things? a great college football player! the way, the announcers, the cameramen showing him every fricking second whether on the field or on the sidelines, the players lifting him up on their shoulders after the game ( shouldn't this be for the coach, not a fellow player) you would have thought this guy
not only was the greatest college football player ever, but the greatest athlete ever, who cured cancer and stopped world hunger and so on and so on......
whatever happened to true greatness: meaning thankfulness, modesty, appreciation in your attitude. not hot dogging and mugging for the camera, the crowd, and so on. of course he did thank GOD, because as we all know " GOD truly cares about who wins a football game and wants one player and one team to win more than the other so he let's them win!" lol!
he might just be a good person besides a great player, i don't know, all i know is what was shown on tv last night was pathetic!
no, i'm not jealous either! i dont' want to be him either! and i love sports and college football it was just so over the top about this guy and this guy eating it up! sorry for the rant, i'll step off my soap box now! LOL!

Obviously, an amazing talent.. That Hail Mary was amazing
But I agree on the showboating and mugging for the cameras. It looked so immature.
Wrapping his water bottle in the towel was pathetic. I figure the camera was on just him for well over 15 minutes last night.
-
Never heard of him.

Never heard of him.
Obviously not an American so your opinion is worthless.

Yeah, last night's game was ridiculous to watch.
You think that kid would show a little more humility considering EVERYONE knows he's a cheater, a thief, and his dad (a preacher no less) has been pimping him out to the highest bidder.

Everyone loves him, but if you take the route of saying you're a Christian and openly admit you're a 21 year old virgin they hate you i.e. Tim Tebow.

cam who?
who the fuck bothers with college sportS?

because people want to watch football not hear about how "pure" and conservative you say you are...
-
It has only just begun. We have 1 more month before the BCS Chamo game. I pray the NCAA declares him ineligible before the game.

This. And it has been proven. He was caught cheating twice @ UF.

WHO THE FUCK IS CAM NETWON !?

Nope. I'm in my mid 30's and not into schmoein' it up over other males, in this case teenage boys.

Really? For some reason, i expected more.

He'll go to the pro's and fizzle out like Jamarcus Russell.

Wittle Cammy had to leave UF because Tebow decided to stay for his senior year and he wasn't going to see the field.....oh and how about the laptop scandal and cheating and his "daddy" trying to get cash "without his knowledge...." ::) this little turd is everything that is wrong with college sports, and it will be fitting that he wins the garbage Heisman trophy..... I love the SEC, but Viva le Ducks, bitches !!!!!!!!!!!
-
THE NFL WILL CRUSH HIM. I cant wait ;D
-
Terrible.
He is an athlete/student, not a student/athlete.

Shut the fuck up, white people.
MANY in the white media *hate* Cam Newton, which is the primary reason they're so pissed off that there was no press release about his being declared ineligible by Auburn until he was already reinstated by the BCS NCAA. For weeks, they've been trying to steer the Heisman vote away from him by attempting to scare their peers as well as the public into thinking this was another Reggie Bush situation...."You don't want another Heisman vacated, do ya, Cletus?"
Everything I know about cheating, I learned from white people in college. Talk about having academic fraud down to a science. Of course I would never out anyone, but while I understood why people did it - good undergrad GPA = stronger resumé for professional degree program - I didn't exactly understand how comfortable they all seemed with the dishonesty. So, the fact that this guy might've submitted a purchased term paper - twice - doesn't surprise me at all, given the number of white people that he hung around.
Regarding the father's solicitation of cash in exchange for his influencing where his kid would play, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY support the father. He's 100% right to have done this and I hope they got paid well above the asking price.
Fuck the NCAA and fuck you, too, if you support their corrupt bullshit (likely because you don't have a goddamn clue about how the system works).
I have questions about the boy's character and leadership because of a play from the Georgia game. As Newton was about to run out of bounds, the defender pulled up, not needing to apply a hit even though he could've. Newton then inexplicably shoves the other kid right in the head just as he's stepping out. Even though the other guy wasn't hurt by having his head snapped back a bit, it was a cheap shot and I don't like dirty players. I don't know what else was going on that might've prompted his action there, but while it was just one play, I thought it was very telling. If he lost the Heisman because of that, you wouldn't hear a peep out of me. I'm hardcore, bitches.

Newton's an awesome player to watch but leave it to a black man to drag race into this. Fact of the matter is that this guy is a cheater, a criminal and a scumbag. Great player but still a douche.
Caught cheating 3 times, even being as much of a scumbag as to outright steal another student's paper and put his name on it. After being caught doing that he had the intellectual prowess to buy a paper off the internet. Instead of taking his expulsion like a man he runs off to a junior college.
Stolen laptop, throws it out the window to avoid arrest.
Daddy whores him out to the highest bidding SEC school.
Now that evil white media will reward him with a Heisman. ::)
-
Newton will never go anywhere in the NFL. Vick is the only player in the NFL that can do what he does. I hope Cam Newton doesn't compare himself to Vick. Vick is a specimen. The media is making a bunch of hype on Newton.... but look at Auburn's schedule this year. I'm a SEC fan and Auburn had one of the easiest schedules.
-
Yeah, I know nothing about the NCAA and how it is supposed to work.
I was a Div. I athlete. You?

C'mon now. You can't really say that there's any such thing as an 'easy' SEC schedule.
Auburn has a gaping hole in the secondary, but unlike the Oregon teams back when little Joey Harrington was lighting shit up, this group of Ducks has more of a ground-and-pound mentality, sort of - they really like to get outside. But as for stretching the field, that's not something they've shown a capacity for all season. They haven't needed to, that's true, but when they've tried, they haven't exactly been good at it.
As for the comparisons to Vick, well, this kid is quite likely a fraudster/liar/thief and Vick joked with his 'posse' as they electrocuted and drowned dogs they'd bred for entertainment purposes. If he's got Vick-like speed, I haven't seen it, but he does always look pretty comfortable in the pocket, even when he knows he's got to make a move.
Give him the Heisman, but don't waste a 1st-round pick on him unless you're hurting for a wide receiver who can run the occasional wildcat for you.
-
Funny I want to see him try and cheat his way into memorizing an NFL playbook. You have to have some brains to be a good QB in the NFL.
Weird that the majority of good quarterbacks are white.
-
Yeah, I know nothing about the NCAA and how it is supposed to work.
I was a Div. I athlete. You?
Yes, before I learned about the real business of the NCAA. I was not a scholarship athlete.
Back then, we were just fighting for larger stipends in order to cover basics and for the right for athletes on scholarship to be able to earn as much as they could in the summertime.
It was - and still is - a myth (perpetrated by the NCAA though their mouthpiece, ESPN) that thousands and thousands of college athletes are receiving all sorts of unreasonable pay and benefits while in school. Reality is that most kids on a typical D1 football team are barely scraping by, even those with full scholarships. In other words, they're pretty much like everyone else on a work-study program at the university, only they have to work more.
It's complete and total bullshit that the kids can be franchised, marketed, and sold in whole or in part as a condition of their non-guaranteed scholarships and that the sale can continue in perpetuity without any further rights or compensation granted to the subject(s) thereof....while at the same time telling these athlete-students that they themselves do NOT have the right to do the same, in or out of the school's uniform, lest they be in violation of NCAA rules.
Meanwhile, non-athlete students are NOT limited in any form as to how they may market themselves. The NCAA is not some objective, 3rd-party institution whose sole purpose is to maintain 'integrity' and amateurism in college athletics. No, it's a collection of college presidents whose job it is to make money, period. And the less control the athletes have of their own images, then the more the NCAA gets to make without having to share it with the athletes.
-
Tre, what you are saying and apparently promoting would erase the very meaning of the spirit and intent of "amateur".
Granted, the IOC has watered down the meaning of this term by allowing endorsements, etc.
But, where I went to school, at the time, tuition was $30,000 per year. I was not on a full scholarship due to Title IX garbage.
The football team is allowed 71 (I believe at the time), which means many of your bench who will never play one down of football in their entire career just got a free $120,000 education.
What is wrong with sports other than baseball (specifically basketball and football) is that the NCAA has allowed the NFL and NBA to use the NCAA as its farm system. This should never have happened.
I could go on and on about this subject.
Where it does get cloudy, and where I am undecided, is to your point regarding video games that utilize the name and likeness of an NCAA player. Personally, in my opinion, the NCAA should have never entered into this contract, as they may have opened the door for litigation (last I checked they won).
-
yeah, i dont care about race. he's an awesome player to watch. he acted like an ass on the sideline. and he did throw a stolen laptop out the window.
race doesn't play into it. i dont care if a guy steals a computer, if he entertains me during auburn games. It wasn't my laptop, after all.
-
It wasn't my laptop, after all.
If it really was a Dell, then he did someone a favor by throwing it out a window.

Race has nothing to do with me knowing he is exactly what is wrong with college sports......pampered crybaby who has to run away when things don't go his way and a cheater. He is a great athlete, but with his lame attitude, he will never be shit in the NFL.

another NFL reject in a few years just like Jamarcuss....

Personally, in my opinion, the NCAA should have never entered into this contract, as they may have opened the door for litigation (last I checked they won).
Yes, the IOC completely changed the game, largely in response to complaints from the U.S. about the state sponsorship of athletes in other countries. The argument then (as it is now) is that we in the U.S. consume more Olympic 'stuff' than any other country, so our opinion has to count a lot more. And to be honest, an Olympian who receives housing, food, car, clothing, etc. and whose only job is to train in order to 'beat the Americans' has a huge competitive advantage over athletes from other countries (not just ours) who have to work and beg money in order to be able to train for and travel to compete.
And then there was the fact that everyone else but the athletes was cashing in bigtime on the Olympics. When Olympians were no longer truly amateurs - a change that has happened in my lifetime - the definition changed everywhere.
I'm pro-equal opportunity, but that's not what Title IX represents, despite what its proponents tried to sell people on. The non-revenue women's programs were floating along nicely and the scholarship dollars - aside from football at the larger D1 schools - were fairly divided between men and women based on the level of PARTICIPATION at a school. Title IX screwed things up by making it about ENROLLMENT so, the presidents colluded and decided it would be easier to simply collapse programs and pocket the money.
But back to the main issue, if a kid can be branded with a Nike logo and pimped out every Saturday for the school and for the equipment company, then why doesn't that same kid have the right to get a Ford Mustang tattoo that he receives a payment for every time he appears on TV?
Money is a factor for a majority of people when choosing a school. So again, Cam is just like everyone else.

How many black quaterbacks have won a superbowl? 1
It's a position that requires intelligence to be successful. Cam is an awesome athlete, but none of these guys will ever win a superbowl. Vick included. (unless he's a back up)

You're actually wrong. When I lived in Spain so many people would watch the games even with the disparate time change. I even found bars there that had games that were packed. Granted it's nothing like soccer (futbol).

professional sports should be abolished, these useless losers should be made to get real jobs and play because they want to, not because they're getting 20,000,000 a year to do so, things got way out of control in the 60s 70's and 80's, all this money should be going towards science, medicine and space exploration not this garbage
