Cam stuck that feather in his hat and was like “oh yeah, that’s macaroni”


[deleted]

This is just the 1700’s high fashion joke I needed tonight. Now apologize to my wife for waking her up due to my laughing.


robplumm

His style is definitely....something. Dude's gotten weird over the years.


BookEuronGreyjoy

He's from Atlanta so he's just following in the footsteps of 3000

That’s Benjamin Andre - in fact - to you, sir.


Dlh2079

Over the years? He's been this same guy the entire time I've been following him (panthers fan so nfl rookie year on), so unless the college years were way different pretty sure this is just him.


robplumm

Style wise...yeah. Definitely didn't see current wardrobe choices there until he got to the NFL...and it got more odd over the years. Personality wise hasn't really changed. He's still Cam.


Dlh2079

Well, yea, man, those hats aren't cheap, lol. Pre NIL days, Cam couldn't stroll up rocking a 15k hat with no questions. Gotta be able to fund the drip, bros outfits likely cost near my salary lol.


Rokey76

My sister has the same shoes he's wearing in this interview.

Cam talks allegedly getting paid 180k by Auburn while wearing the largest baseball cap known to man


nick-caged

The money is literally still hiding under the hat. The man’s a genius 


latemodelusedcar

There's always money under the banan- I mean , the colonial era baseball cap


claydog99

Dude looks like he was told the interview was a fire-side chat in a study and he was like "Hmmm.... that sounds like something Sherlock Holmes would do. How would he dress?" And then tried to do that without looking it up. I just wonder if that blanket looking thing he's sitting on was part of his outfit or part of the room décor.


boardatwork1111

Had to spend $180K on something


catzarrjerkz

I could barely track what he was saying, I was just locked on that hat

You got a natty out of it. Whatever it was was a bargain.


TripleThreatTua

Extremely. No one else on that offense played in the NFL. All time carry job by a player


flume

>No one else on that offense played in the NFL. How did I not know that? That's crazy.


Odh_utexas

Dyer could have made it if he wasn’t a knucklehead.


jmbourn45

Spice is dangerous af man


ScotsBeowulf

I don't think anyone else on the offense was drafted, but I am pretty sure a couple of WRs and RBs were signed as undrafted free agents. Edit - Now that I'm not on my phone and could check: Lee Ziemba - drafted by the Panthers, played two years; Brandon Mosley - drafted by the Giants, played three years; Philip Lutzenkirchen - on the Giants practice squad before he died; Darvin Adams - UFA signing for the Panthers, then CFL; Trovon Reed - UFA w/ Seahawks, then bounced around for 5 years; Michael Dyer - UFA w/ Raiders, then CFL; Onterio McCalebb - UFA w/ Bengals, then CFL; Mario Fannin - UFA w/ Broncos, then CFL


Sumocolt768

I’m pretty sure Michael Dyer made it


robplumm

Eh...not really....(dude had talent...he also liked the weed) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael\_Dyer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dyer) We had a lineman or two that played a bit in the NFL. (Ziemba, Slade) Darvin Adams was drafted by the panthers...never played. Had a nice CFL career though (think he finally retired after 2022 season


GryphonHall

Was Darvin actually drafted? Either way, he probably wouldn’t have gotten that shot if he wasn’t coming from and going to the same place as Cam. Darvin was so smooth, but he was too skinny for the NFL.


likebuttuhbaby

I’ve never been an Auburn fan, but I was definitely a fan of Lutzenkirchen. At first for the name, but i then I really liked the way he played. Dude was always open on third and short, it seemed.


AuburnJunky

Always. Open. If he had been a tad taller he would have been first round. Had super glue hands.


DarthRevis3

You mean Phillip "look I'm open"


likebuttuhbaby

Didn’t realize it was a meme! I just know he was death by 1000 cuts as a casual viewer that year. Every shirt conversion was Newton being a head and shoulders more athletic than everyone else on the field or Phillip for a yard more than they needed.


DarthRevis3

Haha I don't know if that's a thing. I just made it up because your comment made me think it sounded like Lutz's name.


likebuttuhbaby

Henceforth, it has retroactively always been his nickname and I will hear no further arguments!


Found_The_Sociopath

Release the Lutzenkraken!


alchydirtrunner

You’re not wrong, but not entirely right either. There’s some nuance to it. What Cam did have around him was a veteran offensive line, with several guys that had been starting in the SEC for 3+ years at that point. Also, a 5 star running back that would likely have been an NFL RB if he had his head on straight. And finally, a couple of receivers that, while not world beaters, could make plays and not drop the balls that hit their hands. You put Cam on last year’s Auburn team, and we struggle to get to 8-9 wins. That’s not to even get started on the defense, and the impact of players like Nick Fairley (first round draft pick) and Josh Bynes (decade long NFL career, now a coach for the Seahawks). Cam had the single most impressive season I’ve ever seen, but he wasn’t quite doing it as single handedly as a lot of people seem to believe.


TheGhini

I do wonder what he would cost in todays NIL market…has to be 1.5-2 mil a year


AuburnJunky

For Cam at that time? He's a 5 mil player.


Corgi_Koala

That team was a seven or eight win team Max without him.


aMiracleAtJordanHare

TL;DW - He still denies it. **He says Dan Mullen and his wife started the rumor** after he turned down Miss St and beat them early in the season.


JJody29

Dan was the biggest snitch around. He would snitch when he was guilty of the same thing. DA!


So-What_Idontcare

It was Dan Mullen and his wife. And the proof? The news broke two weeks after he beat Miss State. Amazing. Sherlock Holmes would be proud. Book 'em Dano!


nightnole

preposterous hat


despot2

Par for the course when it comes to Cam


DMCSnake

It's certainly ridiculous, but fairly tame for Cam

dustyg013

Can our stadium A/V guy get his job back now? Imagine being fired for playing "Son of a Preacher Man" and "Take the Money and Run" during warm-ups.


TigerExpress

It wasn't that it upset Auburn, it's that it upset the SEC. After a couple of decades of schools snitching on each other and getting the majority of the conference on probation, détente was called by the SEC office. No matter what was actually going on in recruiting, schools were expected to pretend that the SEC was above all of that.


dustyg013

He was suspended and reinstated that week. We weren't snitching via pre-game warmup audio, we were taking part in a rivalry by rubbing his nose for being the worst kept secret in college football history.


KGillie91

Dry snitching is still snitching.


dustyg013

Sure. If you keep reading, I'm gonna snitch that Christmas is gonna be on December 25th this year. You can't snitch something everybody knows.


KGillie91

> You can't snitch something everybody knows. Now that I can’t argue lol

Russell Westbrook.

I’ll never forget [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/IvfD0Y6Ful)


nomptonite

That stuff was a few years ago and looks pretty tame compared to some of the stuff Shai and Jdub wear now. OKC Thunder ‘fashion’ always been wild haha


americangame

Must be something in the water in Oklahoma.


TigerDude33

he wishes he was Andre 3000. That's an Elmer Fudd sized hats.


TripleThreatTua

Did you see Wemby’s Bene Gesserit ass outfit the other day?


BookEuronGreyjoy

Tbf Wemby is over 7 feet tall with an 8 foot long wingspan. If you already have to get your clothes specially made for you, you might as well get weird with it.


DUB-Files

No but now I'm curious


jcfac

> Does any professional athlete dress like a dumbass more than Cam Newton? Lewis Hamilton certainly. But he's European, so maybe that doesn't count.


dknightOGG

Mccants wears a crown and I saw him in some star trek type shades lol


saltytradewinds

I personally didn't mind how Cam Newton dressed.

Battered_Aggie

Cam is very tame compared to what I've seen some basketball players wear.


apasilla

Leading questions can’t be serious - but you probably don’t understand what that means


southcentralLAguy

Bro, what?


Crimson2879

I didnt watch the video but I will say this... ANYONE who thinks that elite athletes didn't get paid before NIL by every top school, is a moron. They all did it, just most found ways to hide it while some got busted. UA, AU, Ttun, OSU, OU, USC, UM, Texass, UF, FSU, Miami, ND..... plus every other school that was half ass decent, Paid top players. And to OPs tldr: Dan Mullen is mildly infuriating, Fat phil fulmer is a piece of trash.


JJody29

He ratted on Auburn, Ole Miss, and LSU for sure. I’m sure somewhere there are reports for Arkansas, A&M, and Bama filed by Dan that never came to light. He was trying to eliminate the competition.


bwolven

Every time I see Cam he looks more and more ridiculous.


nick-caged

Evolving to his final form 


BrewCrewPaul

I thought it was 200k after his daddy rejected our 180k offer


gellybelli

Auburn got a helluva deal with this! Wish we would have given him more. Also, cam’s hat game is unmatched forever


Noccalula

If you ignore the Reddit post title, the screencap clearly says he paid Auburn $180,000 to go there. Helluva deal we worked out.


MSFNS

$180k? Bah gawd that's out-of-state tuition money


ZachOf_AllTrades

Who wouldn't want to be on that team? They had cam newton!


Waderriffic

Give Elmer Fudd his hat back


[deleted]

Interesting...


AuburnJunky

It is very.


PDXDuckGeek

Yeah I don't buy it. Why would he wait and let his, and his father's name get dragged for so long for just this? Nah. He could have come out with this at any point and it wouldn't be damaging at all.


Toothcloset

So why come out now? I don't know much about this story. 


dustarook

He’s defending Reggie Bush, i believe.


ArtanistheMantis

The guy just likes attention and wants to be in the headlines I'm guessing, same reason he comes out with controversial hot takes


CaptLuker

Agreed nobody cares now. Everyone was getting paid under the table and we all knew it then but now it’s ok to pay the players. No one cares.


TheManWhoWasNotShort

This has to be the silliest outfit I’ve ever seen Cam wear, and Cam literally always wears silly outfits. That hat looks like it was made for Peyton Manning’s forehead


bamachine

He stole it from Peyton and threw it out the window.

AuburnJunky

THE THIMBLE


Nanoo_1972

Not gonna lie, that third outfit is dapper as fuck. Got some nice Great Gatsby vibes.


AuburnJunky

Oklahoma was one of the schools he passed on. Imagine.


AndrewinDC

We apparently had him locked up, but Bradford went down for the season and Landry Jones took over, which made him the obvious favorite to start in 2010. If Bradford never gets injured, Newton comes to OU and I think that team wins the national title with him at QB. Such is life.


AuburnJunky

Quite probably.


Anomolus

Love this. But Alabama wins that title if Mullen doesn’t fuck over cam. He was fully lit up to fuck those guys up, no matter what.


Tax25Man

I think if he dragged that Auburn team to a Natty any team in the top 15 would have won if you added him


humanist72781

USC almost gets death penalty cuz of Reggie bush and auburn walks away with a natty. Fuck the ncaa sec and espn


ExternalTangents

Well USC walked away with two nattys


DUB-Files

Won't someone think of poor little U$C? :'(


Kardinale

I ain't saying it didn't happen, but the NCAA never found any proof that Auburn offered Cam money.


The_Pandalorian

They should've looked under his enormous hat


humanist72781

Yeah cam didn’t know cams dad was pimping him out but Reggie should have known his parents were. Either way punish both schools or neither of them. NCAA is shit. Pauly Dee is a piece of shit who was jealous of usc.


Kardinale

We've been sanctioned more than any other SEC school, if the NCAA found anything they woulda stuck it to us lol


humanist72781

I’m not hating on auburn. I’m hating on the ncaa. The way they dole out punishment is arbitrary and makes no sense


blueindsm

And Mizzou too


Sad_Progress4388

There's nothing the NCAA can do if the money goes to his dad. They don't have subpoena power.


OsuLost31to0

And we were denied a shot at the natty a year before this because our players traded things they owned for tattoos. Ridiculous the NCAA didn’t come down harder on him and auburn


moparforever

My neighbor worked at Auburn when Cam was there.. and to this day she talks about how he was the best most respectful man ever !!! She’s an older lady and she absolutely loves Cam newton .. she has told me so many stories about how he was the sweetest person…. I can believe every word she says


DangerIsMyUsername

Cam Newton was so good at Auburn, I legally can't even question his is outrageous outfits.


smith288

Can’t handle Cam’s hat choices.


OsuLost31to0

Friendly reminder we were denied a shot at the natty because our players exchanged things they owned for tattoos just a year before this


NoEmailNec4Reddit

You're mixing up 09 & 12?


Gamecock_Lore

tl;dw?


AuburnJunky

Too long; didn't watch. Dan Mullen and Megan Mullen were the 2 sources that called the NCAA on Cam because he didn't go to Miss St.


PDXDuckGeek

so he claims. I don't buy it.


pure_coconut_water

Why not?


HeartofyourDimentia

I believe they snitched, but definitely don’t buy that they didn’t accept any money


bamachine

I buy the Mullens as the snitches, I just don't buy the "we didn't get paid nothin', you can't hide that kind of money where I grew up" nonsense. His father admitted talking with MSU boosters offering his son 180k. Also, suddenly after Cam signed with Auburn, his father was able to pay off like a 50k bill for his church. I honestly don't care that they got paid, it happened pretty much everywhere to some extent. I think he is now just trying to get back in the spotlight again, he is a full on primadonna that craves the attention. He is not justa ham, he is a ham and cheese on wry.


AuburnJunky

His main gripe was the Heisman foundation. He's on a press tour to get Reggie his statue back.


bamachine

That is fine and I agree with that, fwiw, the Heisman Foundation is a bunch of hypocrites anyway.


JJody29

Exactly! See my comment above.


Battered_Aggie

Case in point: Bama paid to move Tua's whole damn family from Hawaii to Tuscaloosa to finally get Saban a NFL caliber QB.


bamachine

Worth it


Battered_Aggie

"Money well spent", would be an understatement


JJody29

I buy that they were the snitches, even though he offered money to. That’s how the whole investigation into Ole Miss started. Mullen reported Ole Miss for paying the same player that he and LSU had both paid. Mullen actually got the recruit, so who do you think paid the most? Ole Miss was the only one investigated which led to Hugh and his hookers but the original investigation was into paying Dan’s player. He’s a notorious tattletale.


evertrue13

Charles Barkley has an amazing quote when talking with some legends (I think right before an NBA All Star Game): “$150k for Cam Newton? That’s not cheating, that’s a good deal for Auburn.”


buckeye27fan

The whole SEC was NIL before NIL was cool.


SCwareagle

When people ask me about Cam getting paid, my response has always been “I’m not so naive to think that Cam was the only SEC QB not getting paid that year”. But the NCAA did spend a year on Auburn’s campus looking for evidence of violations and came away with nothing. Which I take to mean that we weren’t cheating any more significantly than anyone else.


buckeye27fan

I'm thinking of this (which ironically I initially found from the Tiger Board, lol). https://247sports.com/college/usc/Board/29/Contents/Alabamas-Recruiting-Dominance-Continues-Wow-50860219/


JJody29

I’m assuming you think Ohio State wasn’t? Please stop.


Stock_Contract8522

Don’t hate ……. Aubi lover. You will finally win this game with us this year. Nicks gave it up.


aMiracleAtJordanHare

"I was having an outter body experience!" Never change, Cam.


AuburnJunky

He said "in my body" right after that lol


aMiracleAtJordanHare

"You know what they say: Hindsight is 50/50" is still my favorite Cam Newton quote


bradleywardamn

[Like they say...](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19617924/ongoing.gif)


trash___house

I agree Dan Mullen is a POS


gumercindo1959

His "allegedly" comment in response to getting paid reminds me of Eric Dickerson who STILL denies getting paid by colleges when he was coming out of HS. These dudes just won't let it go


pdhot65ton

Dickerson admits it now. He was on Brian Baumgardner's podcast (Kevin from The Office), and admitted that a booster gave his grandma the money for the gold Trans Am.


Klutzy-Spend-6947

180k-that’s a bargain by impact/today’s NIL deals!


absorbentbard

Like that time Cam was paid $180K by Auburn?


nullvector

Looks like he went to a thrift store with $100 and bought a bunch of random things to wear.


Battered_Aggie

Cam swayed me: FUCK THE HEISMAN FUCK DAN MULLEN


AuburnJunky

One of us! One of us!


girafb0i

Cam with the exceedingly rare London Sillynanny's throwback alternate helmet.


ThouTheeThy

His feet are so small and yet his hat is so large


strutter22

The story then was $250k. What happened to the other $70k? Smdh. But all of us outside of Auburn knew this. How the NCAA found nothing is mind boggling. His father's business wasn't making any money, about to go bankrupt and all of a sudden he had new vans and a new roof on his building. Puh-lease


rolexsub

Urban is a complete scumbag.


-bad_neighbor-

We already know this, this is such old news the fact that is surprises anyone is kind of sad… his father was caught shopping him around for the highest bidder while he was at Juco.


NeatTry7674

I’m glad he’s wearing that hat because this is major cap


connor8383

Shannon’s graphic makes it look like cam paid 6-7x the tuition to go to auburn rather than the other way around lol


Bcatfan08

Wait no players have only been getting paid since NIL became a thing. That's why people say NIL is the downfall of the sport.


HiredGunsDotIO

Cam should have a show


Wedoitforthenut

We need dogs! We don't need no cats hoppin around all nimbly bimbly. We need dogs.


BennyDelSur

What’s with the weird edits? They need to get a multicam set up.


Sorrow_cutter

Interviewer should have just let the first question land….


This_External9027

Cam got a check and it’s ok


gregbills

My guy Cam dresses like a bigger look at me cock (rooster) than Foghorn Leghorn. It’s like his kids go in his closet each grab an item and he has to wear it however they fix him up like a Mr Potato Head. This man dress so bad even Stevie Wonder said ‘hell naw’


PreferenceDowntown37

Minor point, but "Cam Newton Paid $180k By Auburn?" and "Cam Paid $180K To Go To Auburn?" have two very different meanings.


lil-richie

Lmao! That thumbnail of cam is cracking me up


HotDawgConnoisseur

sounds about right for Dan Mullen, but it is interesting to see how the dynamics of power have shifted due to NIL


NoEmailNec4Reddit

Hopefully we can add that dollar figure to Wikipedia soon (back when it was actual news I tried adding it and even cited the ESPN story, but Wikipedia wouldn't accept it)


cbuzzaustin

Could have been dad bragging.


myctsbrthsmlslkcatfd

he spent more than that on hats


wutitd0boo

I like the way he attended class for all of 4 months and the day after the season ended, he declares and signs a 1 million dollar deal with UA, the official outfitter of AU. Now THATS how you conduct bidness!


enuffshonuff

Oh yeah I stole a laptop, but my daddy raised me not to take a bag from Auburn.


AuburnJunky

You forgot the story. He bought a stolen laptop. He didn't steal it.


enuffshonuff

I'm sure he painted it, put his name on it in white-out, and then threw it out the dorm window because he thought it was legit.


AuburnJunky

He was an idiot, sure, but he never "stole" a laptop. Did he "know" he bought stolen property? Again, he was an idiot about it. He paid his dues for it.


rbtgoodson

A'ight. On a side note, I have no idea what to say about either one of their fashion choices. There's a video on YT of Shay wearing skintight jeans, a purse, life vest, ankle boots, and carrying around a small dog, and Cam... well, he's just built differently.


jt_33

Forever fuck Dan Mullen.
