Cam Newton last took an NFL snap in 2021 for the Carolina Panthers. He’s expressed a desire to continue playing, but there doesn’t seem to be much appetite around the league for the 34-year-old former MVP quarterback.
He made a lot of money playing football and he’s not afraid to let people know. At a recent event, a spectator decided to troll Newton.

“How many rings you got?” the spectator sarcastically asked.
“None!” Newton replies emphatically.

Given that there seems to be an infinite amount of questions and no concrete answers about the agreed-upon merger involving the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, it’s been difficult to put into perspective how historic this exact moment in time could be for professional golf. Graeme McDowell, however, may have hit the nail on the head when it comes to a comparison of what we’re watching unfold.
McDowell, the 2010 U.S. Open champion who has made the jump to LIV, joined ‘Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich’ on Monday morning and gave his inside and honest perspective about the entire situation.
Tim Tebow is one of the biggest stars in college football history. The former Florida Gators quarterback, who had offers from almost every major program in the country out of high school, was a well-known name amongst football fans before he even made it to campus in Gainesville.
He became a household name on a wider scale during his sophomore year when he burst onto the scene with more than 3,000 yards and 32 touchdowns through the air, and 23 touchdowns on the ground. Tebow won the Heisman Trophy that season.

The Titans’ need at receiver drove their recruitment of DeAndre Hopkins. The wild thing is, before this, the franchise’s leader in career touchdown catches was the head coach—Mike Vrabel’s 10 is more than any of his players.
Last summer, the Cavaliers stunned the NBA world by trading for Donovan Mitchell, even though it seemed like the point guard was headed to New York. Mitchell has two years left on his contract, plus a player option, before he hits free agency, and one NBA reporter believes that represents Cleveland’s window to win with Mitchell.
ESPN’s Tim Bontemps does not expect Mitchell to remain in Cleveland long term, and he said on “The Hoop Collective” with Brian Windhorst that he thinks the team should consider planning for life without him.
The new CBA is changing the way teams build their rosters. Here’s what league insiders are saying about the NBA’s march toward parity.
Look around the NBA, and there’s any number of highly consequential players who could shift the balance of the league this coming year with their performance and change of scenery.
Future Hall of Famer Chris Paul plays for Golden State now and might even end up coming off the bench for the first time in his career. Bruce Brown took an enormous deal to leave the defending-champion Nuggets for the Pacers. One-time Finals hero Fred VanVleet also took lots of money, leaving a middling situation in Toronto for the Rockets, who want to be taken seriously this season.
Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has had his game dissected by just about everyone across the NBA, as fans and teams look to get a better understanding of the league’s “next big thing.”
Not everyone appears to be buying into the hype surrounding the 19-year-old Frenchman, however.
Former NBA player Olden Polynice made an appearance on Fox Sports’ “The Odd Couple,” during which he revealed his shockingly low expectations for Wembanyama’s NBA career.
In what is arguably the biggest transfer saga of the last decade, Kylian Mbappé finds himself at the center of this summer’s transfer rumors. But while a Paris Saint-Germain exit looks to be in the cards, the destination is keeping everyone in suspense.
Meanwhile, several Premier League clubs are committing to a reboot while Man City and Manchester United sit back and methodically approach a small list of top targets.
Here’s the latest news during the summer transfer window.
The Browns will be worth watching in Deshaun Watson’s second season with the team. I saw GM Andrew Berry’s comments from the Greenbriar over the weekend, as Cleveland’s staff and players reported to West Virginia to kick off the remote portion of their training camp. And this one jumped out at me: “This is going to be a big year for him professionally and personally.”
I’d say the same goes for the guys who traded for Watson 16 months ago.
