Cam Newton’s Comments About Notre Dame Are Raising Eyebrows

Quick, extracurricular of Indiana, who went 16-0 and conscionable won nan nationalist title to headdress a cleanable season, who has nan longest existent winning streak successful FBS assemblage football?

Also, who is nan past squad to hit almighty Indiana successful a shot game?

The reply to those questions is of people a squad that played for a nationalist title astatine nan extremity of nan 2024 season, and has won 27 of its past 31 games and will participate nan 2026 play arsenic 1 of nan favorites to triumph nan nationalist championship: Notre Dame.

Despite that, 1 of nan bigger names astatine ESPN continues to do nan ESPN thing, and talk astir Notre Dame shot for illustration its Nebraska.

Speaking connected ESPN's First Take on Friday morning, a show ever afloat of good thought retired points, Cam Newton shared a doozie astir Notre Dame.

“Bump Notre Dame,” Newton said. “Notre Dame hasn’t been applicable successful years. They haven’t been applicable for years. You return that 1 nationalist title pinch Coach Freeman retired of nan equation, they person not been applicable for years.”

Shae Cornette, an Indiana postgraduate and woman of erstwhile Notre Dame hooper Jordan Cornette, tried to travel to nan defense of nan Fighting Irish, but Newton was having nary of it, talking correct through.

Newton's thought couldn't beryllium dumber if he wanted it to be, but logic isn't precisely his beardown suit erstwhile it comes to discussing assemblage football. I'm not judge if his chapeau is excessively tight, if his glasses are making his eyes hurt, aliases what, but he's moreover much retired of touch than each his ESPN teammates that thought picking Alabama to hit Indiana successful nan Rose Bowl was a bully idea.

ESPN has go a tv web wherever you tin apparantly conscionable opportunity immoderate you want, and not get checked by anyone successful charge. Here I americium talking astir Newton, truthful I'm astir apt being portion of nan problem, but I'm trying to support a moving tally of nan times ESPN conscionable flat-out disrespects Notre Dame unapologetically.

It happened correct aft nan Fiesta Bowl, when, for immoderate reason, Notre Dame became nan attraction contempt Miami and Ole Miss having conscionable played successful a classical battle.

It was ESPN that pulled a accelerated 1 connected nan nation, shoving nan Miami vs. Notre Dame statement for nan last playoff spot successful our faces, erstwhile anyone pinch a hint of communal consciousness should person known nan statement should person been betwixt Notre Dame and Alabama each along.

And here's Newton, making his ever truthful thought retired constituent disposable for nan world to enjoy.

This of people comes connected nan heels of Marcus Freeman moving arsenic an expert connected College GameDay up of nan nationalist title earlier this week, thing I afloat support him doing because of nan affirmative attraction it brings connected a spot Notre Dame doesn't usually get it.

Newton's stance is nan latest successful a agelong statement of ESPN being much than consenting to beryllium wholly unfair to Notre Dame.
