Black and Blue Review
A handful of players answer the question: “What was the best Christmas present you got when you were a kid?”
Quarterback Cam Newton
“I had a favorite Christmas. I remember getting a college jersey. It was a Florida State, Warrick Dunn jersey. And my brother got a Joe Hamilton, Georgia Tech jersey, number 14. So they were on the sofa, and I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, boom. Got that.’ So I’m happy, and my mom’s presentation is top of the charts. She put all of the less juicy presents first, and she stashed away the Playstation. At the end, she was like, ‘Oh, you have something else there.’ So then I had the Playstation, a jersey, and then she told me to go get some laundry from downstairs. I’m like, ‘Laundry, mom? It’s Christmas. That can wait. I’ve got to set up the Playstation.’ It was a brand new bike. Dude, somebody got a bonus. She got a raise. Pops did something, man. But that was the best Christmas ever.”
