Cam Newton Laughs at Female Reporter, Is a Moron
Cam Newton just threw the biggest incomplete pass of his life.
Or something to that effect.
During a press conference this afternoon, the Carolina Panthers quarterback was asked a question by Charlotte Observer beat reporter Jourdan Rodrigue about wide receiver Devin Funchess.
She wanted to know Newton"s take on how the University of Michigan product has been embracing the physicality of routes and whether Newton got enjoyment out of that.
Instead, Newton got enjoyment out of the question itself.
Or, to be more sexist and specific, the person asking the question.
"It"s funny to hear a female talk about routes like," he replied, smiling broadly. "It"s funny.""
Thankfully, no one else in the room saw the humor.
Especially not Rodrigue.
"I don"t think it"s "funny" to be a female and talk about routes. I think it"s my job," she later wrote on Twitter.
Did she approach Newton about the diss after the press gathering ended? Yup, and…
"I spoke with him after and it was worse. I chose not to share, because I have an actual job to do today and one he will not keep me from."
The reporter then followed up these Tweets with a more official statement that reads:
"This afternoon, I did my job as an NFL beat writer and asked Cam Newton a question about one of his receivers.
"I was dismayed by his response, which not only belittled me but countless other women before me and beside me who work in similar jobs.
"I sought Mr. Newton out as he left the locker room a few minutes later. He did not apologize for his comments."
Yikes.
Newton has been famously prickly with the press in the past, cutting short his Super Bowl 50 post-game press conference after Carolina lost to Denver, for example.
He won the MVP in 2014.
In a statement, meanwhile, the NFL said "the comments are just plain wrong and disrespectful to the exceptional female reporters and all journalists."

Johnny Manziel Posts Cocaine Photo Online, Continues to Be a Moron
Ah, Johnny Football.
Remember when former ESPN commentator Skip Bayless predicted that you’d be a bigger star in Cleveland than LeBron James?
Well, it was always a dumb claim to make, but Bayliss can at be least partially forgiven.
After all, that was before you were caught using cocaine in Vegas.
It was well before you were accused of abusing your girlfriend and threatening suicide during a drunken meltdown.
It was before your brawls with fans and your short-lived stints in rehab.
And, of course, it was before you got cut by the Clevelend Browns back in March.
Oh, and it was also before you Snapchatted this photo, which has prompted us to strip you of your iconic nickname and re-dub thee – Johnny Eightball!
Yes, the hand holding the bags is clearly not Manziel’s but it’s still not the kind of message you want to send when you’re trying to rebuild your career after a number of drinking- and drug-related scandals.
According to TMZ, Manziel is currently living in a party pad in Mexico with about 20 other people.
The woman whose hand is shown in the photo is a resident of the house, but Manziel claims they’re not friends, and the drugs don’t belong to him:
“They’re absolutely not mine,” says the 23-year-old free agent. “I don’t even know that girl.”
Reps for the troubled QB says Manziel is enjoying one last hurrah before he cleans up his act next month.
The insiders say that beginning on July 1, Johnny is all about sobriety, healthy food, and training like crazy.
That’s all well and good, but as long as the man doesn’t realize that his reputation needs to be rehabilitated as badly as his body, no GM worth his salt will touch Johnny Eightball with a ten-foot coke straw.

Andy Cohen: Michael Strahan Is A Moron For Leaving Live!
Like death and taxes, you can always rely on Andy Cohen for a good bit of goss.
The producer/Bravolebrity is tight with Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, but even he is surprised by Michael Strahan’s departure from Live! for Good Morning America.
“I’ve been a TV executive, or a producer, for 25 years, so I’m always fascinated to see how TV things go down. I can’t say this went down in the greatest way,” Cohen said.
“He had this great relationship on TV and it was a big, bad breakup.
“When I look at this whole situation, it’s worth noting that the two of them, Kelly and Michael, they had such great chemistry — such great chemistry.
“And I’m just looking at this — it just seems like a premature end to a great relationship. It ended way too prematurely, and I think so much has been written about this situation and how it was handled,” Cohen, pointed out.
What he finds weird is that Strahan wants to move from daytime to news.
“The thing that no one is talking about is to me, the job of cohosting Live is the greatest job in TV,” he said.
“And she’s so good at it and he was so good at it, but it’s a job that you take and you take it for life. She’s been at that job for 15 years,” Cohen added.
“I can’t get over that he left Live where it was the best show … Live with Kelly and Michael — your name is in the freakin’ title. You can spend your life here,” he said, adding that the paycheck made things all the more enticing.
“You can spend 15 years here and make serious bank, by the way.”
Cohen doesn’t get how you go from a gig like that to sharing air time with several different people.
“He left and went to GMA. He’s now with five people sitting at that crowded anchor desk. It’s like 18 co-anchors,” Cohen joked.
“And here’s my thing — what happens if the ratings don’t go up? … What is going to happen to [this] sweet man?”
Ripa and Live!, Cohen said, will have moved on by that point.
“You know who I think would be great at that job? My buddy AC, [Anderson] Cooper. He would be so good cohosting that show.”
Whatever happens, Ripa’s return on April 26th will be nothing short of compelling.
“I am really looking forward to tomorrow on Live,” Cohen admitted.
“I can’t wait to see what she says. Who isn’t going to be watching that?”
