Cam Newton GQ interview w/ pics (no homo)

[CatMan72]

Character question raised: Can Cam Newton create trust and lead under pressure? And answered: Last year, as Auburn football was nearly engulfed by allegations that Newton's dad sought payola for his quarterbacking services, Cam delivered the greatest season any college athlete has ever had, replete with no losses, the BSC National Championship, and the Heisman. Did you see that forty-nine-yard pachinko-ball dash against LSU? Or the 24–0 deficit he erased at 'Bama? Time and again, Newton waded into the lagoon in which his ten buddies had driven their pickup and flung the whole thing back onto the road. Gaudy as these exploits were, it was what you didn't see that may be the best indicator of what the number one overall draft pick will bring as a Carolina Panther. No matter how tight the squeeze, you never saw Cam Newton frustrated or even tense. A guy who generates 62 percent of his team's overall offense may be on fire, but he's not tense.

"Sir," he says with granite certainty, "it all comes down to whether a person wins or loses. I don't bring race into the game, 'cause then you're talking about excuses. I. Hate. Excuses. Excuses are a disease."

I like the part about excuses being a disease. That's very true.

..Because when I think of acute, informed analysis on Pro Football, I think GQ.

JK. Good mention. Got no beef with our franchise guy getting some positive press. I'll have to pick up this month's issue. I just hope he does better then after Jawalrus Russel appeared in GQ.

I'm a huge Cam supporter. I look forward to him on the field. I expect him to make mistakes but I also expect him to those jaw dropping plays that make you say, Damn!! Did you see that? This kid has brought more hype and publicity to this team than ANY other player. I tend to compare him to the freakish athletic skills of Julius Peppers but with more heart and a ton more Charisma and personality.

Go Panthers

They say a picture says a thousand words and what I see with JeMarcus Russell is a private jet and a $50,000 mink coat vs. a kid dressed like he just walked out of the gap or JCrew as well as Cam is holding a bag of footballs. This makes me wonder if either of them had a say so in what they wanted to wear and how they wanted to be depicted.

I am thinking Target. hehe.

[Chaos]

Am developing a serious man-crush. No homo, I think....

[CatMan72]

It's funny, but Russell's picture says all you really need to know about him... I would imagine these guys have a lot of say in how they are portrayed.

[The_Cannon]

Damn this makes me want to dig up that old photo spread Otah did for " Better Homes and Bicuits" after he was drafted…

Either that or it's the impression they get from the players.

[Gipetto]

Its not gay to admire the swag of another man
