Leave Cam Newton Alone!

Not since Britney Spears has there been a superstar that has received as much media scrutiny as Auburn’s Cam Newton.

I’m actually surprised that Newton hasn’t taken the same path that his bargain laptop took while he was at the University of Florida and flown out of his dorm window.

In today’s society, if the media wants you to be ruined, you’re going to be ruined. Just ask Lindsay Lohan, John Rocker, The Unabomber and Sarah Palin’s daughter’s baby daddy.

Come on people! What’s so bad about what Cam Newton MIGHT have done?

So he cheated in college, right? Who hasn’t done that? I went to college for one term, didn’t even complete some of the courses that I took, and I had a coed ask me to help her on a test, and if I did we would go out. Best night of my life, up until then.

He bought a stolen laptop….who wouldn’t? If someone came to you and told you that they had a new Ipad and they would sell it to you for a hundred and fifty bucks, but it might have come off the back of a truck that just happened to be on its way to the Apple store at West Town Mall, but didn’t make it with the full shipment, and you were a college kid, wouldn’t you?

If you answered no to the above question, then you’re either too young to understand economics, or too old to remember that you bought a stolen laptop….err, I mean a stolen eight track player when you were in college.

Then of course we have the allegations that Cam, or “his people” asked for money for his services coming into this season.

Really? No, Really? Coming into this season, the only thing that Cam Newton had done on the Football Bowl Subdivision level was hold Tim Tebow’s halo while Urban Meyer polished it……so to speak.
Newton’s Florida stats were 21 rushes for 113 yards and 4 touchdowns, while his passing was an even more pedestrian 6-12 for 54 yards and 0 touchdowns.

Don’t bring up junior college stats either; Brent Schaeffer anyone?

With all the Reggie Bush and USC stuff going on, who would risk asking for money for a player that has done as much at the top level of his field as Sarah Palin has done for US Foreign Policy?

Cam Newton asking for money to come be your team’s quarterback, is like Bret Farve asking to come take photos at your kid’s birthday party with his cell phone, it’s like Rush Limbaugh asking for money to be your pharmacist, it’s like Nancy Pelosi asking for money to be Speaker of the House.

Cam has had it rough enough without the media and everyone else piling on.

In Biblical terms he is “Lot” to The University of Florida’s “Moses” (Tim Tebow ).

One brought the Florida people to the Promised Land, and the other one better not look back if he knows what’s good for him.

Run Cam Run, and whatever you do, don’t look back.
