Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton is reportedly a jerk at airport security. The Heisman Trophy winner who led the Carolina Panthers to a Super Bowl 50 appearance, who has the most career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, apparently tried to skip the queue but TSA wasn’t having it.

It’s not the first time he’s been treated just like anyone else at the checkpoint.
Good to see @camnewton doesn't get special treatment from TSA. #ipadswabbed (@ atlanta_airport w/ 147 others) http://t.co/d0Ap0mfL10

What’s interesting to me is that report that he was queueing for CLEAR. Several years ago he did not even have PreCheck. He still may not, in fact CLEAR can be more useful to those who do not since you can skip long lines even though you still get the same screening. It’s also interesting that he’s reported to have gotten into an altercation with TSA rather than with CLEAR employees.
Maybe it is the height, shades or the frosted tip goatee but Cam Newton wasn't hard to spot at Charlotte Douglas… despite his best efforts pic.twitter.com/zAcMYZDn1n

While at the University of Florida, Newton was arrested for stealing a laptop. Charges were dropped after he completed a pretrial diversion program. Since this happened 17 years ago it shouldn’t be an issue for expedited security programs.
Always one to court controversy, Newton recently criticized women who “can’t cook” and “don’t know when to be quiet” and criticized former teammates on the Carolina Panthers as a “locker room of losers” as well as Bill Belichick for his relationship with a 24-year-old, suggesting it was a distraction from football responsibilities. Sounds like a great role model for his eight children with multiple partners.
Regardless of whether Cam Newton is a jerk, Bill Belichick does not pass the Perv Equation. Belichick is 73. Seventy-three divided by 2 plus 7 is 43.5. “Dating” a 24-year-old does not pass the test.
Heck, if Belichick were 43.5 he would STILL not pass the Perv Test with a 24-year-old. So, he’s a double-perv.
On the ‘early years’ referenced above, I ‘memba the laptop debacle. Was only a slight distraction from all the winning at UF those years. It worked out just fine for him anyway; transferred to Auburn, won the trophy, played for NFL, etc. So, if I can muster up any empathy here, it’s that it must be tough going from all that ‘glory’ to a has-been. Still, get of the Amex Platinum cards, use the CLEAR and Pre-Check credits, sir. And, be slightly ahead of a few others, without breaking any rules. And thank you to the TSA agent for doing their job and attempting fairness, regardless of who’s in-line.
Belichick rightfully takes heat for his current girlfriend, but what does it say about a 24 YO that would date a 73 yo?
What an a-hole. Where’s prostate cancer when you need it? If there were a God, He would summarily cure Joe Biden of it, and transfer the cancer directly to this football d-bag. Biden is a good man who did transformative good for the country and for the world. This football d-bag achieved nothing and deserves nothing less than the very worst.
If somebody, anybody, has a reason for cutting the line, even just saying their flight is about to leave, I always oblige. A-holes like this football d-bag, though, deserve prostate cancer.
Every time I go through security or line up to get on a plane, it’s seems like there is always someone trying to cut through the line. Jerks are everywhere. Sometimes they are clowns who can throw a football.
Ole Camburglar can’t quite perfect the QB sneak (thru security)…
It’s no big deal! He didn’t deflate footballs like Tom
Brady! Talk on that, too!
good- now they need to make the clear check people get in back of the TSA line
@JCW – pretty good one.
Lately, Clear lines have been slower than regular TSA lines at a lot of airports.
Is that a bag of crab legs Cam is holding?
@Rjb
Crab legs were a Jameis Winston thing, not Cam.
Gary – why are you bringing up multiple partners with multiple children in a derisive tone but never once have you mentioned that on any of your blog posts relating to President Trump who also has multiple children with multiple partners? Seems like unnecessary hate.
Elon Musk has 14 children with multiple baby mommas!! Why is that important? It’s not, I just thought I’d mention that because you informed us on how many children Cam has! Your article is trash! And you are GARBAGE GARY LEFF!!
Kudos to the TSA agent. This clown needs to be put in his place. FYI – no sympathy for anyone waiting longer in the Clear lines., They belong behind TSA Pre customers and, better still, totally done away with to open up valuable queuing space for the rest of us!
@’Gary WTF’ in fact I’ve written about Trump and Karen McDougal, Stormy Daniels.
Thing 1 – your test seems to lose value the younger you go. I would not call a 28yo dating a 21yo a perv, that seems ridiculous. Or 30 and 22. That’s only a 7-8 year difference.
Thing 2 – most girls don’t grow up hoping to date a man in retirement. It happens because of grooming, and the security/lifestyle that wealth brings. I’ll bet even you’d date him if you needed to pay rent.
Amazes me how people comment on dating and age differences, yet everyone seems to be so big on acceptance. First, what does the damned coach’s dating habits have to do with the jerk cutting the TSA line? Second, who gives 2 sheets about 2 adults of legal age dating, regardless of the age gap? That’s their business, and it’s called “consenting adults.” They’re apparently using each other for their needs and purposes, and they don’t seem to hurt anyone by their dating choices.
@InanimateObjectofUnknownOrigin. Thing 1’s formula is not a “Perv Equation.” I was told it’s from an old French saying on the appropriate age for your mistress, it’s not a hard and fast rule. They seem to have a different attitude about these things. Perhaps it was because they lost so many men in endless wars. It actually works at the younger age as long as the numerator is 22 or above, any lower and it’s an equation for prison time.
@ Trickywars. Yep
