Compare that to how Cam got treated when he did the same

Saint Tom 

tom has won some and played really well on Sunday so he gets a bit of a pass ,cam didn't play well in that Super Bowl and I remember him not diving on loose ball for fear of injury which a lot of people didn't like , must also be said Brady's attempts at running and catching were pathetic on Sunday

Fear of injury, Cam Newton, the guy who runs at linebackers like a RB and nearly always lowers the shoulder rather than baseball sides? Right.

Which makes his lack of effort on that play all the more unforgivable.

i was talking about that particular game and that particular play ,he was rattled in that Super Bowl and was seeing von miller before the ball was being snapped , cams line from that day 18-41 with 46 rushing yards ranks 40th best QB performance in Super Bowl history, tommy and Kurt have it to themselves at the top

You should know well enough by now that facts have no effect on Stew, Gabriel.

Anyone rioting after a sporting event should get hammered no matter the city, and what would you know about facts syferus?

Philly is the most obnoxious set of supporters in the United States, always have been, always will be.

Brady not congratulating Foles and running into the locker room as well. Stay classy Patriots.

Yeah that did not sit well with me either, man up Tom, I am sure he saw him backstage as it were but that was classless and would be beneath any other all time great QB, it reeks of arrogance and I can see why people would hate on the pats with the face of the organiztion and the league not having the moral fibre to man up and say well done to a peer in public. Damn that was a bad look.

They've been shite recently but had an epic win last night where LeBron blocked a shot and made the game winner in the final 1.5 seconds.

They're trying to fix things and get one more shot at winning now but I'm not sure today's moves do that for them. They'll struggle to win the East at this stage.

Cavs luxury tax bill next year going to be the region of 100m

What were the Cavs thinking with Kyrie Irving, free fall since that imo

[Oraisteach]

Some sources say that if he hadn't been traded, Irving would simply have sat out the season, feigning a leg injury.

They were fine up to Christmas. Irving wanted out, not much teams can do with a superstar with that mindset these days.

They could have said we're letting Lebron go after the season and building around you to try and keep him.

Yip heard numerous reports that he said he would've got knee surgery (thus taking him out for the year) if he wasn't traded.

Warriors going through a mini funk at the minute as well so things getting a little more interesting. OKC seem to have their number at the min but remains to be seen if they could do it in 7 because of their depth. Rockets are the obvious choice for their main contender.

Actually think the warriors can't seem to deal with athleticism like Westbrook, George, The Greek etc when they turn it on. Green and maybe West the only players with a bit of dort about them. They actually miss Jordan Bell.

Be interesting to see who the Lakers are lining up for the 2 max contract slots they have opened up.

In overtime after he had missed the chance top win it in normal time.
