re: Newton is a lot of things, but "classless" and "thug" aren't two of them

I was brought up to believe that was the text book definition of "classless". Defend all you want, but the guy brings it on himself. Go back and review some of his celebrations. It's not just "exuberance", or "passion for the game". The guy flaunts success in an in your face type way. If you do that, you open yourself up to major criticism when you behave the way he did after the game. A lot of athletes have dealt with defeat, look at how they handled it. The bills in the 90's were all class. The patriots after the perfect season loss were all class. There is no excuse for it.

And I can imagine what some of you are teaching your kids about competition. "Hey son or daughter, it's ok to act like an arse hat when you do well, and a big baby when you don't, you just love the game"...

Me too, that's really what I thought teaching small children to play sports was about - at least when you're first beginning, learning how to be a good winner and a good loser.
But I'm done with Cam for now, he's unworthy of more.
