Add NBC Sports To the List of Hacks

[KendrickPanther]

Maybe I got too excited after the win. I wanted to see what the National media thought of us so I DVRed all the shows. I wanted to see them eat crow and spin it. Most of it was surprisingly humble and positive but NBC Sports rubbed me wrong.

 

They broke down the game and praised the Panthers for an impressive win. Then they started talking about our future. Eric Kuselias asks the question "Can Cam handle playing second fiddle to the Carolina Panthers defense?". Absurd question, I would have deleted the recording but I wanted to hear the panel shut him down first. Scott Pioli agrees with him. W T F. He says that Cam needs the spotlight(which he obviously gets in Carolina right?) and his maturity will become an issue. Then Rodney Harrison starts in on press conferences and inconsistent maturity. He asks facetiously if Cam is worth $100million.

 

I know, Rodeny Harrison and all of the media are idiots. I expect that. My problem is: keep your mouth shut if you don't know the subject you are talking about. If you can't express an informed opinion than don't express one at all. This is why other fan bases think our QB is an asshole, because the talking heads tell them he is. The maturity argument was weak a year ago and worse now it's outdated. Cam has done everything possible to present that angelic image the media expects from him and he's still getting ripped.

 

People knock WFNZ but it's the only media source that keeps up with the Panthers. Every other media outlet lags a year behind.

 

I'm paraphrasing and I really can't articulate just how negative their comments on Cam were. I couldn't believe the ignorance and I won't be watching that show again.

[Awesomeness!!]

Funny how nobody asked rather or not Eli could handle being second fiddle to the Giants Defense in those super bowl years...also funny how nobody talks about how he bitched his way out of SD to play in NY in the first place. But nah, Cams a thug, towels, computers etc

NBC is a communist front.  Their purpose is to "deconstruct" the concept of American exceptionalism.

Hey Rodney,

 

 

your fuggin retarded

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yea everyone STILL thinks he's this immature whiny little kid I don't understand it the dude is like Brett Favre he's like a big kid out on the field because his job is professional football and it just so happens that he absolutely HATES losing because he is COMPETITIVE i can't fuging stand to lose at a video game much less lose a professional football game, and even though he admitted that he should change his demeanor in press conferences after a loss it's not like it was that big of a deal anyways it wasn't like he was throwing teammates and coaches under the bus he just hated to lose simple as that

 

but these idiots refuse to use logic and continue to just look at stats and say well this is how you should behave this is how you should act, everybody is different and matures differently these people are dumb that's why i refuse to even turn that junk on

actually they did. eli took assloads of criticism leading up to that superbowl run, and even after it the next couple of years were spent analyzing whether or not he could play well without a top notch defense and run game.

 

those questions never stopped being asked until he won that second superbowl.

[Awesomeness!!]

I've never understood the need to equate football to real life jobs. Cam Newton can hump the goal post after a 6 yard gain for all I care. They are playing football, not launching rockets.

I don't recall any of that. I only remember him being criticized for sucking, not for being a prick.

Good thing Cam doesn't work for NASA, he'd miss Mars every time.

Tiki Barber did question his leadership but Tiki took the heat for doing so.

Yeah man. He is such a asshat but its aight. He just better know that the his Patriots are get whats comin.

The media loves athletes who are humble. Cam isn't or at least comes off that way. It's his decision to act as he will and we're winning regardless, so I'd rather Cam be who he wants to. Though, I understand why he rubs people the wrong way sometimes. It is what it is. Could care less myself.

Cam has always praised his teammates with his Camisms about "unbelievable effort" etc. The celebrations is just a weird generational gap. I say weird because guys like Deion really started it 20 years ago and now guys like Cam are acting like their idols. Some people will say QB double standard but Cam isn't the first QB to celebrate a big play. I call it the Cam Standard.
