Is that a regular size NFL football? He makes it look like when I hold a K-2, lol.

I don't deny Cam's knowledge of the sport, but it's the way he gets his message across. He always seems to play the victim in some unnecessary way.

That or he compares his highlights to someone else's lows.

I caught his lengthy interview with Shannon Sharp & aside from his crazy-as-usual wardrobe, he actually came across as regular guy. Nothing outrageous & when discussing football he spoke fairly insightful & articulate.

It absolutely is, that’s just how hilariously big the guy’s hands are.

ETA on topic, I’ve watched bits of Cam’s podcast and he is extremely knowledgeable about football. One of the clips I saw showed him going over an extremely complex offensive route concept and he was explaining it like a teacher going over remedial math.

Sub 10" at the combine is not hilariously big.

It’s never good when this is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a guy:



I didn’t like Cam at Auburn because I’m an LSU fan. I didn’t like Cam at Carolina because I’m a Saints fan. That being said, I wish him the best with this. I just hope he tones down the wardrobe a bit.

Yesterday the theme for the 2025 Met gala was introduced, something about Black Men as style setters with an accompanying Met exhibit.
Now ESPN adds a man infamous for his costume choices.

?Coincidence?"

Or just a really bad joke that went too far?

Superfine: Tailoring Black Style
Vogue announced on Wednesday (Oct. 9) that the theme for the 2025 Met Gala is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller's 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.

The most interesting point to me was how he felt NFL teams made offensive schemes far to complex.

Won't cost them one cent for wardrobe. Already has a shite ton of outlandish threads.

I cannot even imagine how painful it will be to watch him attempt to make every single statement earth shatteringly deep for hours on end.

I’ve grown to respect him as a man but holy frick he’s 100x more annoying than Mark Ingram, and that’s saying a lot.

I hated Cam in college and was never a fan of his. But I’ve watched several clips of him talking football recently and his commentary isn’t bad.
