Rivera says critics should ease up on Newton
Cam Newton is one of the NFL's best young players. He's also extremely divisive because, among other things, some people think he celebrates too much when things are going well and sulks too much when things aren't.
It all came to a head at the Super Bowl, when the Panthers were manhandled by a tenacious Broncos defense, and Newton was accused "making a business decision" when he opted to not dive on a fumble late in the game. Exacerbating matters: Newton pouting his way through an abbreviated postgame press conference.
