0:03.5

We do. So Cam Newton is in a little bit of hot water because of something he said yesterday to a female reporter here were, it was the exchange that people are talking about this morning.

0:12.5

I know you take a lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well.

0:16.4

Devin Funchis just seemed to really embrace the physicality of his routes and making getting those extra yards.

0:23.6

Does that give you a little bit of an enjoyment to see him kind of truck sticking people out there?

0:27.4

It's funny to hear female talk about routes.

0:33.2

It's funny.

0:34.8

Yeah.

0:35.3

So this is a reporter who's from the Charlotte Observer.

0:38.8

She's a beat reporter who's been doing this for a while.

0:41.3

Is she a hot piece of tail or what are we talking about?

0:43.5

Well, I don't know, Cam Newton.

0:45.9

But so obviously everyone's, you know, talking about how she was disrespected.

2:04.6

And I of it. Yes. And I guess that she went up to him afterwards a few minutes later and he still didn't apologize for what he said. Now, the only thing about Cam Newton is that he's not just a dick there. He's always dick. So earlier earlier on she asked him a question beforehand now the
