Only if cameras are present.... I’ve seen him walk right past a kid and father at the South Park mall

I heard not very nice things about him from a person who rolls in his circle of friends.  I honestly don’t care as long as he wins games.

Did he over throw the Grey Poupon when you asked him to pass it at dinner?

[jasonluckydog]

Well I'm outside the stadium don't see Cam, where is he?

What is the crib notes version of these ‘not nice’ things?

I have a hamburger I'm going to force him to eat it

ahh yes, schroedinger's cam. behaves so cunningly in front of the camera that he has the whole world fooled and simultaneously so poorly that he is mocked for his public speaking abilities, body language, and "articulation"

Just because he got a degree doesn't mean he's a professional at it, but I noticed a great improvement in his speaking ability and body language when he went back to school to earn that degree.

So the obvious conclusion he is better at deceiving people, right? A more educated version of nawrocki's narrative which apparently you embraced?

I’m not going to throw him under the bus but Cam professionally and Cam socially are two different Cams.  Antonio Brown is one of Cam’s good friends... that should somewhat put it into perspective.

I wouldn't necessarily say he is trying to deceive people.  He is just embracing the business aspect of his brand and trying to say the right things that reflect good on him.  Now, will he still put forth this personality if the Panthers can him like DeAngelo was?  That is what I wonder.  He seems like a positive guy, so I don't think he's going to go bad mouthing the franchise, but I could definitely see him turning the cold shoulder.

Well yeah i think the average person is different socially and working. You wouldnt make jokes at your place at work like you would around your family and friends, as they could be taken wrong.

Just because you have a friend that can be a asshole doesn't mean you condone everything they do or say.  I don't drink or smoke but i've hanged out with others that have and some that have been to prison (they have improved since then).  Who you socialize with doesn't mean you are exactly the same as them. Should you have better friends? Sure.  Like judging a kid for who his/her parents are. Shallow as hell.

fug this take. Watched the dude spend a whole year in Auburn being nothing but stellar to everyone who interacted with him. This is the same poo that ass hole analyst tried to peg him with coming out of the draft.

Every celebrity in the world has days where they just don’t want to be bothered.

He’s a nice and caring guy just let something be positive for once. fug.

I don’t know if he is nice or a douche but I think that I’m a generally nice person but if I had to live with people constantly coming up to me for a picture an autograph or just to talk I would be salty about 95% of the time. 
 

I know it’s “the price of fame” but that doesn’t mean you have to give away every waking moment to complete strangers.

Hang out and being friends are two completely different things.

Reminds me of when PantherFanForLife posted the definition of narcissistic personality disorder from dictionary.com and diagnosed Cam with it

So  is the implication, taken away from his being friends with Antonio Brown, is Cam either condones Antonio’s behavior or has  a problem of his own with women be it sexually or  socially and, or he is selfish and not a team player 

those are the characteristics that I see in Antonio.

 All I know is the person I met seemed very different than this. On the other hand, we never really know another person, ever.  I can only say the person I met Friday night, I really liked and I was not expecting to

i will say too that athletes back in the day, like Sonny Jorgensen andJoe Namath  and many others were pretty douchey around women so it would not be new news.  Disappointing but not new news.
