The Carolina Panthers are usually a team that stays out of mainstream media; Not too many stars, very low profile team… they’re pretty quiet when it comes to negative attention as well, but yesterday that all changed.
Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers have something to prove, they are a competitive football team who has the makings of a winning franchise, but sometimes there are heated moments that seem to over power their overall positive image and yesterday was it. It has been said that Josh Norman was eating away at Cam, going after the ball and preventing complete passes. It apparently got overwhelming causing the two to get in a scuffle (with a smiling Newton, of course) and the media ran away with it. Since then, Newton spoke with the team as well as the media downplaying the situation and noting that the team is a family. It happens.
Josh confirmed the two have no bad blood with a snap shot of the two after a team movie outing.

He’s a Special unique talent & as a BrotherTeammate I’m Honored & Blessed to be on a Team with Such Great Guys?? #KeepPounding ????
Fights happen. The heat, frustrations and competitiveness gets to teammates. When there is a genuine bond and winning trumps pettiness, you’ll get over anything. Apparently, these two have.
