Cam Newton shares what led to scuffle after Patriots-Dolphins game
Cam Newton led New England to a 21-11 win over the Miami Dolphins in his Patriots debut. His 155 passing yards and 75 rushing yards weren’t the only reasons he made headlines. After the game, Newton was part of a scrum at midfield where he had to be restrained by coaches and teammates.
Newton was asked about what happened when he met with reporters after the game. Newton initially chalked it up to being competitive.
“It was a competitive game – on both sides. You just have to realize who you’re talking to, and just keep everything in the game,” Newton began his answer.
Newton had some shade for former Clemson defender Christian Wilkins.
“I realized I was talking to a person that’s known for doing splits. So it wasn’t characteristic of me to keep going back and forth,” Newton said.
When asked directly, Newton confirmed opposing players tried to steal his chain.
“I still got my chain. I got two of ’em. They were reaching for my chain, though,” Newton said. “And I think that kind of got up under my skin.”
Newton’s full answers to both questions can be viewed in a press conference transcript shared by Alert Breer of The MMQB:
So they were just pulling his chain?
Thanks for the chuckle.
It makes you more angry than you’d expect when someone pulls at your chain. Believe me, i know.
That’s all it takes for a second chance (again), 31 year old, multimillionaire, face of one of the most valuable NFL franchises to revert to “the College Park” in himself?
Key word is almost, rico. Cam didn’t do a thing.. good try
Oh, yes. That childishness was ‘almost’ the College Park in him. Good thing no one tried to grab at one of his bracelets as well.
The only thing childish was the dolphin players snatching his chain.. cam didn’t do a thing. Quit hating puppy
Full grown men who lost their job for consistent childish, selfish, and narcissistic behavior don’t consistently throw temper tantrums. They don’t risk penalty or sanction that threatens their organizations future success because others taunt him. And they show enough composure to not racially disparage their childhood community with glib deflections when called on to give account for their continued inappropriate behavior…puppy.
wtf are you talking about? What is this gibberish? Again, Cam didn’t do a thing. Quit hating, puppy.
Explain to me what Cam did wrong? You can’t. You’re just hating
His second shot is and will always be more than your first shot. Quit hating. BTW, how is your “elite” qb Jake Fromm doing?
Cam Newton is a punk pure and simple.
Arkansas is the laughing stock of SEC, pure and simple.
Last time I looked Auburn hasnt won a championship in a meaningful sport in awhile. Your althetic department barely makes a profit outside of the money given from the SEC.
Wow.. just how dumb are you?
Football national title
Final four
CWS softball appearance
CWS baseball appearance
What’s Arkansas got? Track and baseball..
Also, most schools do not make a profit in their athletic departments. There’s like 5-6.
I said CHAMPIONSHIP. I actually root for Auburn in basketball, baseball and occasionally football. Yes you have the ring from the Newton Days so that puts you in relegated air? Auburn and Arkansas are closer in terms of overall success throughout all sports. Whats your average in the Learfield Cup?
Wtf? You’re not even a hog fan. All those teams won a championship.. you didn’t say national championship.
I’m familiar with the Learfield cup but don’t keep up with it. I don’t keep with sports I can’t watch on tv
What do you mean I’m not a hog fan? Just trying to beat in your brain winning at football doesnt make you the best. Hell Alabama may be the best in yhe SEC at football but that doesnt make them the best university. Hell Auburn is better than them across all sports. I agree nobody cares about rowing and field hockey but no way by far are we a laughing stock.
You said you cheer for Auburn in some sports.. if you are a fan of a team and you cheer for another team in your own division then you’re not a true fan lol
Did I say winning at football makes you the best? Nope, I literally gave you examples of 3 other sports that we have excelled in the past 5 years.
You came in spewing crap about Cam and can’t even back it up. Arkansas is the laughing stock of the SEC in football. That’s not a debate.
Yea…no you’re wrong just because I hope Auburn beats some other when they play doesnt make me less a fan of my team. The real topic is regarding your overratted QB alum. The guy has no character which is why they booted him out of Carolina
You said you cheer for them. I don’t cheer for any team other than Auburn.
Overrated? You mean the 2015 NFL MVP? The guy who is only making about $1M a year? Yeah.. okay.
Again.. you can attack his character all you want but you have nothing other than the laptop incident at UF. Move along piggy
Your funny kid, yea Newton does a good enough job of assassinating his own character. Idk what to call you lil tiger or lil eagle?
You’re*
You’re an idiot. You can’t even back up your own statement.
Well my job title says otherwise lil eagle. Keep up that fools gold swag you got there kid. You’ll be just like Newton soon enough lol.
Still nothing to back up the comments you made.. comical. Just like the Arkansas football program.
Cant beat a dead horse. Auburn hasnt won sh!t of late. On the other hand Arkansas has won more than poor Aubbie.
Still nothing.. and now changing subjects again. Go figure.
Cocain is a hulluva drug. Seek help!
So is being an Arkansas fan apparently
Lol
