While I do dislike Favre because I always felt he was THE most over-rated QB in the history of the game. The man loved football and was always a class act. Cam Newton is just a faker and a poor loser. That's why it upsets people when he does those stupid TD celebrations. Trust me(at least for ME) it has 0% to do with his race and 100% to do with his personality.

I don't care about the TD celebrations. It's the overexaggrated celebrations for first downs and getting in defenses faces when he has to do the celebration right where they are. But I also have a problem with all first down and tackle celebrations.

But his post game press conference shows the kind of sore loser he is. Peyton gets blown out in the Super Bowl, he sits down and answers questions. Russell Wilson throws an INT from the 1 to lose the Super Bowl, he sits down and answers questions. Cam gets beat up by the Broncos, he pouts and refuses to talk.

Dang, high character guy here huh?

Manning has career 200 wins. Richard Petty retired with 200 career Winston Cup victories.

Just sayin'.

Yeah, racism is dead. Do you ever look at Twitter, Facebook or any social media at all? Looking at it for two minutes would show you that's completely ridiculous.

I am assuming people figure Romo will be back and we just went 13-5 and we have the #4 overall pick but I agree. The only way I'd put us at 16/1 is if I knew we were going to get 2014 Romo for 15+ games next year.

I don't agree with it but I get it. I get it because Dallas is a team with a large fan base that a lot of people bet on, exaggerating their line. Though I could see Dallas having a big turnaround in 2016. They had major injury issues this season. They could certainly win their division next season, even if a Super Bowl is highly unlikely.

Norman should teach him some class.

I'm not shocked by Cam reacting the way he did in his presser. That's how he always is when he loses. He can't handle it. More eyes are seeing it. He deserves everything he is getting because when he's winning he has his chest pushed out, runs his mouth, and dances every second. It's crazy how some are defending him. Smh. He needs to grow up or stop dishing things he can't handle.

If you are a NFL QB and think you are too good to be criticized by fans and media and you can't handle it. You may want to find a new job.

What's weird is I think after his first season in the NFL he received tutelage from Troy Aikman. I guarantee Aikman didn't teach him to showboat like that or play like crap in the Super Bowl either.

Yeah, he definitely didn't listen to Troy then LOL.

I'm a Bucs fan so have to deal with him on a regular and one of my pals follows the Panthers up there so I hear and see all of this nonsense. Hes just a big baby.

Favre jumped into his teammates arms. Cam's celebration is all about him.

I was assuming he didn't want to get his invisible cape dirty.

[Tony208]

Whole seven months without football

[BoydR12]

Anybody here some of the questions Cam was asked? Or are y'all just judging because you've wanted to have something bad to say about him all year? Question he walked out on?? "What does it feel like to let the black community down?" Yeah bet your ass everybody here would walk out too, talk about kicking a man while he's down. He actually tried to open up for reasonable questions, yet everybody here is jumping down his throat, smh

[Tony208]

Wait, someone actually asked him that? I would leave too.

It actually wasn't the one he walked out on surprisingly, but yes he was asked it
