Green Eggs and Cam Newton

"No I will not eat green eggs and ham, Cam I am."

Cam Newton, scheduled to be the Carolina Panthers' number one, has just been given the playbook as homework before the season starts. However, there has been some 'adjustments' in the playbook to help Cam Newton learn the book quickly. In other words, the Carolina organization has 'dumbed-down' the book in order for Newton to understand the basics.

Here lies the issue. In an interview, Newton said: "That's Dr. Seuss compared to doggone Shakespeare". I interpret this in a few different ways.
First, Newton is referring to the difference in difficulty of the playbook compared with others, he basically said the Carolina Panthers needed to dumb it down so he can understand it.
Secondly, he is suggesting the Carolina Panthers do not trust his reading skills.
Thirdly, Newton has a hard time reading Shakespeare.
Fourthly, the Carolina Panthers are simpletons.
Fifthly, Shakespeare is superior to Dr. Seuss.

In light of this, I took it upon myself to create the new cover of the playbook:

I feel it is appropriate, the top right corner would naturally display the Panthers' logo.

It appears Newton is happy with his contract and for his sake, I hope he gets some media training in Carolina before he moves forward. Carolina, who went 2-14 last year, is looking to the young QB to step it up. Still, he needs PR.

I wish him well and as Anthony Jeselnik once said: you should probably read more.
