OK, last Cam Newton thought. For now. (Though I do love this story, it has everything.) This man was once hit by a dump truck, broke his back, and 11 days later, ran for a touchdown, threw one, and beat the Browns. What did you think you were going to do to him, young blood?

The Raiders gave a TV analyst $100 million to coach, hired another TV analyst (who thought Blaine Gabbert was better than Cam Newton) to be their GM, traded their best player in September, went 4-12, and don’t know where they’re playing in 2019. Mark Davis has got this, y’all.
