The local media is mad at Cam

This has Jerry Richardson written all over it.

So Cam Newton turns down interview requests from local media (three times), then talks to NFL Network. Nice! http://bit.ly/n25TAz

hey look! I made a local twitter trend!!!

SN: Is it just me, or is it funny how local media got their panties in a wad over his refusal to talk to them but he gave an interview to Steve Wyche - an Atlanta based reporter, lol.

[Kurb]

I think it was Cams doing.

He wants to project a workfirst/play later image.

Avoiding the spotlight to get to "Business" is a good start at that.

Boo fuggin hoo... Next week they'll love him.

The local media especially the CO would have asked about his jersey # and what ^He ate for breakfast anyways....

[teeray]

Oh noes he only did one interview and it wasn't with local media. What a d*ck. :rolleyes: So many people/haters on twitter running with this one; it is a sad state of why the sports media is lazy and basically stupid

[Gipetto]

the media doesnt win championships.

He better tip toe this line

[Proudiddy]

This isn't the first time our local media has cried when denied access to certain interviews/players... It seems to be pretty frequent.

[TruCatzFan]

He better tip toe this line

Easy fix... ^He gives them the exclusive when He signs his contract...

[TheRealDeal]

Yeah I don't think it's an issue right now but just something he should treat delicately.

You don't become an Icon and Entertainer talking to little ol' local Charlotte media. You take it to the big dogs like NFL Network... I'm sure ESPN is next up

[HoFBound90]

I'm sure they can wait to interview him every other day during the season for the next 10 years or so

[Gipetto]

IMO charlotte media should back off till the preseason. These guys have alot of work to do with very little time. It's like being denied to study for a test intill the last two days. If this city wants championships they need to let the players be.

No doubt... I agree
