I got a lot of stuff that I want to get into today.

an outstanding NFL analyst for the family, an outstanding host for the podcast,

And without Michael Vic accepting that in working to become a better passer, working to become

a better leader, we don't get a Cam Newton.

And if Cam Newton doesn't bring the style of play that he had the opportunity to bring
