CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton was reflective and somewhat philosophical about many topics on Thursday, but on what this season has been like for him and the Carolina Panthers he went straight to the point.
“It’s demoralizing,’’ the reigning NFL MVP said.
Whether or not you believe Newton when he says being suspended for the first series of Sunday’s loss was because he didn’t wear the required tie on the flight to Seattle, you should believe him here.
The Panthers are 4-8 and all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after going 15-1 during the 2015 regular season and reaching the Super Bowl.
