When Vince Lombardi said, “show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser”, it ended up in management text books.
“I’ve been on record saying I’m a sore loser, who likes to lose?” I want to go, you know, hug my family. It’s not a popularity contest. As a 23 year old practice squad player, Jordan Taylor played a large part in helping Peyton Manning (and the Denver Broncos) win the Super Bowl, and he is considered an unsung hero for the monumental achievement for the Denver Broncos.
Added Newton: “I have said it since Day 1″. It was a nightmare for Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers offense.
“We knew when we drafted him back in 2011 with the second pick, and I still say it, there’s not many guys-I haven’t seen a more talented guy, physically than Von”, Broncos general manager John Elway said Tuesday. If you want me be this type of person, I’m not that. “They made more plays than us and that’s what I came down to”. “Do I wish he handled it better or differently? Yes”.
Marshall says that Manning’s attention got other offensive players watching him, too.
Some in the media also criticized Newton for not diving for a fumble late in the game.
“I don’t have to conform to what anybody wants”. During the season, “it’s our responsibility to all the Broncos nation to help the team by yelling”, Henderson said. But Newton – who had earned a reputation as a sulky, poor loser before this season – did it all wrong and now prospects, especially the high school ones we deal with, can learn a valuable lesson.
I doubt that very many of Plant City’s athletes will ever get grilled like that. Yet, in this, Cam also said that he doesn’t take losses well – especially when there’s so much on the line and so much invested.
