re: As The Plains Continue Not To Burn: What if Cam Newton really is innocent?

I think Newton is a great player. The way he carried himself during his season at AU rubbed some folks the wrong way - same with Manziel's actions and attitude while at aTm. Folks like to see humility in a superstar I guess

I can live with this.

But I always though tebow was humble and people hated him...hell some even wanted to make him cry.

The media hacks are to blame for most of the public's opinion of superstar athletes. They media forced Tebow down our throats so long that we formed a sour taste for him.

The media mutilated Newton, his family, and AU for so long that when the kid showed an ounce of celebration for his accomplishments on the field, we saw it as unbridled arrogance, in reality it wasn't really all that bad.

The media went wild with the "Honey Badger" until the shite hit the fan while he was at LSU.....

The media created the Johnny Football mystic until things started to go south....

The Brent Musburger's and Vern Lundquist's of the sports world go way overboard when they latch on to an athlete and it nauseates us.
