UPDATE! Rick Reilly is a lying dingleberry clinging to his hatred of Cam Newton

[Doyle]

I'll take a Diva that produces over a nice guy that doesn't any day.

Why can't Colin just give him props? Cam was unbelievable last night

hmph.

you are quite new to this aren't you

[CRA]

If he's missing media deadlines and holding up the team bus routinely, then it just furthers my perception that this staff has done a terrible job of managing and developing him. You don't put up with that poo. You nip it in the bud early.

He isn't missing media deadlines...

Newspapers tell reporters they want X by a certain time. Reporters are bitching about the time crunch they are under after a MNF game with their bosses.

Someone should tell them newspapers are a dying format.

i like Reilly

cam is a diva

i dont care if he is a diva as long as he plays to back it up

i have yet to see him play to back it up in any single game this season

last season, he backed it up almost every week and then some

disconnect?

Were you under a rock last night?

[carolinarolls]

Were you under a rock last night?

he looked pretty good. it may have confused most of us into thinking he looked great simply because he has loked so mediocre at best all season

last night he seemed much more confident and that is a start

we will see how he progresses from here.

This thread is nothing but a bunch of pound cake and french fries.

“He’s leading the team. He’s on the sidelines talking with the O-line, talking with receivers. He’s doing the things we all wanted him to do. In the huddle, he’s saying the right things,” left tackle Jordan Gross said. “And I’ll tell you what, the guy’s a tough guy because he takes some shots and he gets up and keeps on swinging. If he can play this way and lead like he is, the sky’s the limit for him.”

But I bet Rick Reilly knows better.

I thought I recognized his name from just last week, looks like he's a bit of a squirm:

Though Werder could be in line for punishment for taking a public shot at a coworker, he has a right to be upset. Reilly isn’t an NFL reporter. Though we’re not quite sure what Reilly’s role is, he’s definitely not an NFL reporter. And with an army of NFL reporters marching on the same turf and chasing the same scoops, the last thing any of them want is to have to worry about a non-NFL reporter encroaching on their crowded turf.

Werder possibly wasn’t the only ESPN personality upset with Reilly’s antics. Many have suggested that Steve Young’s demeanor indicates he was pissed at Reilly for making a big deal out of getting credit for an injury that was reported, well, everywhere. There’s a chance, however, that Young turned toward Reilly while listening to a producer telling Young and Reilly something like “you know, they could hear you at home.” Young’s tap to the forearm of Reilly could have been Young’s way of acknowledging to Reilly that the tail end of their discussion had gone out over the ESPN airwaves.

Reilly just sounds like a total bitch.

I'm Rick and I'm important!!! First on twitter!

Cam took too long and is a jerk. Probably talked to someone prior who gets to be first on twitter

[Rubi]

I hope these people realize these guys get treatment, cold tub, team meeting...etc

Sorry Cam isn't out of the locker room in 10 minutes

[Silent Majority]

Wait...so the guy who is THE focal point of this offense and who gets DRILLED on 70% of the offensive plays, takes a lil' longer in post game showers? STOP THE PRESSES. smfh@ this fan base.

[Panthers Nation]

Blah Blah I know you don't want to hear about what the media said about Cam. Please close your browser.

OK for everyone else that is interested...

On the Colin Cowpoo show, Rick Reilly talked about Cam for a minute:

-said Cam took exactly 54 minutes to meet with the media after coach Rivera. Went on to explain that the media writers have deadlines and Cam should know that and should hurry up out of the shower. Said Peyton and AR don't do stuff like that. Also said that the team had to wait on the bus for Cam to leave.

-said Cam feels entitled, is a diva

-Colin asked if Cam can be great, Reilly said he has to grow up and stop being a diva first

-Colin said he has a source that he trusts that told him other players in the locker room feel Cam is a diva

Reilly came off sounding like an entitled brat sports writer. Complaining about fugging deadlines.

Cam is not perfect...yet. He needs to develop into a better leader and locker room presence. I firmly believe that will come with time.

First of why the fug are you watching the The Herd?That show is even worse than FirstTake all Cowherd does is bash fans on his own radio show,the 1 time I watched it I couldn't help but to throw my remote at the tv,he is so damn annoying.

My advice to you is never watch that show again.

lol thanks for the advice. I usually stay away from Cowpoo but I did turn on espn radio for a second and I caught this segment.

I'd never watch his garbage on TV. Honey Booboo has more insight.
