CHARLOTTE – The Carolinas are ablaze over the Panthers hosting an NFC Championship for the first time in franchise history, about the idea that their beloved team is four quarters from earning an invitation to Super Bowl 50.
So what does Cam Newton think about all of this?
"It's just a football game."
Now before the anti-Cam crowd begins anew with a "What's wrong with this guy?" chant, a little perspective. When Newton says it's just football, understand where football ranks in Newton's world. No, it's not life and death (more to come on that), but it most certainly is a big part of his life.
