Cam Newton on WFNZ (Part 2)

[TheWiz]

As a huddle "stenographer" I listened to part 2 of Cam's interview on WFNZ and wanted to share how it went. Cam sounded relaxed and having a good time. Which I really think is his best way of being interviewed... in a chill, non confrontational environment. They got a lot of good nuggets out of the MVP 

Part 2: The Dab is over. It is retired.

Cam Newton on Von Miller: Has utmost respect Demarcus Ware and Von Miller. They have mutual friends. At the end of the day, I want to be the best. But we have another opportunity on September 8^th… and you better believe that game is circled with his SHARP1E. Its not a rematch game, but the first game on the schedule.

Cam on Charlotte: I like how the energy around the city has changed. It’s so crazy. I have to make a confession, when I first got here, my bone with Charlotte was that there was no pride. There were other teams colors… But it’s our house. It’s a mentality. The defense has a mantra, defend our dirt. I don’t have any problems with any fans. But it’s a respect thing… When you come in my house, you dog on right I will be offended.

Cam on Steph Curry: Could you beat Steph one on one? The competitive Cam says absolutely… In real life.. no way. (emphatic.)  I’m a big fan of Steph and his family. He’s a person that does it the right way. He celebrates. He has fun. We had a conversation about sports… a person asked me is Steph Curry the best basketball player on the planet. Cam says no. Steph Curry is the best basketball player on the best team on the planet. Lebron is still the best player in the world. But it tells you how important the power of team is better than the power of individual skill.

Cam smiles when he’s told he was as important to Lebron or Steph. “That means a lot.”

Asked about the Super Bowl Press Conference: I talked to friends and I talked my family. Feels like he cant say if he would do it again, until he’s in that situation. Says You can’t judge anything or anybody until you’ve been in their shoes. (Cam has yet to see the press conference.) Admitting to learn from it. Will not become a better loser. I’m born to win. Be a winner. Master your craft. You don’t live to be mediocre.

On Muhammad Ali:  When Cam was 7 or 8 years, people would mistake his dad for Muhammad Ali. Cam’s dad would say, yes I’m Cecil Ali. Cam fell in love with Ali. He stood for something.

On the Kickball tournament: Talks about All proceeds go to the Cam Newton foundation. Eddie George, Brandon Lafell, The Amigos, and others.

On the Panther culture: The Panther culture is at the point where we don’t need coaches at practice… We have coaches to facilitate what we’re supposed to do. They could have a players only practice because they’re so self motivated.

(There is a part 1) But I didn’t hear it live. Feel free to post it here when it becomes available.(KB)

Nice interview.

Interesting. I suspected he'd drop the dab this upcoming year. I wonder what he's going to come up this time. I'm excited.

The Dab is dead, Long live the Dab.

Great interview! 

I figured he wouldn't do the dab anymore and I'm glad he won't. I wonder what dance he will do next?

Cam has completely changed the culture around this franchise and it's AMAZING!
