Cam Newton defends Super Bowl media walkout: ‘I’m a sore loser’

In an interview with Mile High Sports 1340 AM, Fassel said the gold shoes were a sign that Newton had “become soft”. “At the end of the day, when you invest so much time and sacrifice so much and things don’t go as planned, the emotions take over”. Although he said his post-game plans involved “a lot of Budweiser”, Miller joked: “I think he had to rush out to do a Life Alert commercial”. I heard numerous quotes about what if this person was in that situation, how would he have handled it? I’m not that guy. “That’s what you want from a quarterback at the Super Bowl”, Fassel added. “That’s why I’m happy for Von”. And I am my own person. His teammates will look at him a little different after that, especially his teammates on the defensive side of the football.

Recover that ball, punt and surely a Peyton Manning running on “E” would have given the ball right back to Newton with another chance to win. He hates to lose, thats the bottom line, ” Rivera said. “That is what you love in him. And I don’t have to conform to anyone else’s wants for me”.

Greg McElroy never had much of an NFL career after his college days at Alabama that included winning a BCS National Championship following the 2009 season. “That’s what it’s about”.

“We didn’t lose that game because that fumble”.

In a league that embraces a quarterback like Johnny Manziel, who had to go to alcohol rehab this off-season and is now under fire for an alleged incident, they’ve crucified a guy that hands out footballs to children after touchdowns.

Cam said he felt like his leg was in a bad position and might have gotten rolled in when asked about the fumble he didn’t dive for.

He said the fumble alone isn’t the reason the Panthers lost, at which point some teammates yelled their agreement.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cam Newton isnt apologizing for acting like a “sore loser” after the Super Bowl. When I saw Cam Newton walk out in gold shoes, “MVP” I switched my mind, essentially, right then.

The regular-season MVP switched to normal team-colored cleats for the actual game.
