Another Example of Peter King being a horrible person.(Fugged Cam Newton good)

The only Peter King I like less is the Peter King (R-NY)

Hmm..if i post this out of context..I'll get more Twitter Hits and Pub for my articles...no brainer!

The straightforward way that Cam handled the quote has been a good thing. Peter king might have done him a favor.

I dunno. It is out of context and it aint much, but it's just a little something more to add to the pile.

I don't think he's a bad person, just he has moments of not thinking.

Anyway you twist it, he did say he was an icon and an entertainer, then reaffirmed that when saying he is supposed to be a cleat and lifestyle seller. Is he going to do that? Of course, but there is no point even bringing it up because his mind should be 100% on the NFL.

Anyone else and people would jump on it, so no point in sweeping it under the rug just because it's Cam. Again, on it's own it's a lack of judgement, but when looking at the bigger picture he just appears to make errors of judgement from time to time.

Also, I am pretty sure this won't damage his standing with GM's. Those that put a premium on character will have their detective gloves on already, those that aren't too bothered will chalk it up to just a misinterpretation. Hardly character assassination.

You can't expect these athletes to have no life outside of football, and the only reason it was brought up in the first place (with King) was because he was asked about it. He mentioned it at the combine because he felt he needed to explain the context of his comment.

I don't see how the contex changes the quote at all.

fuging trash. I hate Peter King and if he lost his job today it would not be soon enough. All the guy does is spread bad rumors or take things out of context. This is why Football players have to say "it is what it is" or something to that degree so slim ball reports want throw them to the wolves.

in case anybody wants to have the hatred done for them and maybe save ten minutes.

Pretty much where I stoled this idear frum.

The Media has been on the attack towards Newton since Auburn hit #1 in the BCS rankings.

And as far as the media taking quotes out of context to make a story, I'm calling BS. That's not good reporting, that's good lying.

If you are posting news on Twitter you need to be shot. Take the time to write it up or STFU.

Interesting. Myself and the other Cam supporters were saying how ridiculous the hubbub over this quote was and how we had no context for it and yet the Cam haters blindly ran with it.

Of course they need and should have a life outside of football. However until the moment they are drafted, they need to make it look like they eat, live and breathe football. That he allowed himself to be draw into a questionable statement shows lack of guidance, preparation or judgement.

Yes a question was asked, but there were so many ways to deflect it. King even said it was after 12-13 minutes of combine talk, so this question was just a 'closer' effectively. He could have said he appreciated the support the company has shown him, mentioned he felt he didn't deserve it as he hasn't achieved anything yet or just said that the company is a fantastic company. Instead he diverted the question and answered about himself, which was poor judgement.

Well at least for the first time in 15 years he didn't write something painfully boring.

Thanks Kurb. I wasn't big on Cam, then I became a believer towards the end of the season and saw his potential, so I think I can look at it pretty objectively... King definitely has it out for Cam, as does some other media, but King purposely tried to destroy him before the combine.

The CONTEXT definitely does matter. He's saying you can't take much out of a 15 minute chat, but his fat ass plucked that out of the whole thing and put it out on his twitter?

Also, this fat MF has never responded to ANY of my tweets on twitter about the Panthers, and I just get the feeling that he is very snooty. He thinks a lot more of himself than he should. I also get tired of reading his poo just for him to toot his own horn about things and tell personal little anecdotes... People read your poo for football related material, not about you pussying out of a fight in a hotel or you making an elevator into a dutch oven.

F*ck Peter King. It'll come back to him eventually, that was just a dirtbag move.
