Seriously, we don't.
We don't deserve Cam Newton. That's right, we. We as in Cat Scratch Reader. We as in the Panthers. We as in the collective fans of the NFL. He is a scion of everything we should want football to be on the field at any level: Ridiculous; entertaining; awe inspiring. Off the field, his biggest scandal since joining the league was that he wore capris to a press conference after losing a game. How dare he?
We, some crazy ass how, live in a world where we have to be tip-toe around this creaky old house at night while talking about him, lest we risk the wrath of either extreme of his unique spectrum.
