Cam Newton has a message to anyone who does not think he is the MVP of the NFL this season: “kiss my a–.”
Newton, never one to be short on confidence, was contacted by Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall for a segment on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL.” The segment was called “kiss my”, which should give you an idea of what it was about.
Here’s the text message Marshall says Newton sent him in response to an inquiry for the show.
“For you guys that think I celebrate too much … kiss my,” Newton’s text to Marshall read.
“For you guys that think the towel on my head is ridiculous … kiss my.
“The way I dress … kiss my.
“For all the guys out there that think I’m not the MVP … kiss my,” Newton said in his text to Marshall, according to the wide receiver.
Well that’s a heck of a way to debut a new segment on “Inside the NFL.”
That text from Newton should give you a strong sense of Newton’s mentality this season. From not giving credit to an opponent’s stadium crowd to ripping down signs in his stadium, Cam has been feeling himself all year. And he has the stats to support his cockiness.
The former No. 1 overall pick has thrown for 25 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions while rushing for 476 yards and seven scores. He’s produced a career-best passer rating and turned the ball over the fewest times in his career, all with a sub-par receiving corps, and his team is 12-0.
So not only has Cam given a great response to critics of his TD celebrations, but now he also has a strong message to his MVP doubters. What say you, Tom Brady?
