Super Bowl LVIII’s radio row brought back some of the good old times for Carolina Panthers great Cam Newton.
The day after his heartwarming reunion and mini-chat with fellow franchise legend Luke Kuechly, Newton welcomed yet another old pal in Greg Olsen onto his live stream from Vegas. What ensued, with comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura also on set, was an incredible trip down memory lane . . .
Before feasting on that delicious meal, the 2015 Panthers moved to 11-0 after feasting on the Dallas Cowboys. The 33-14 win saw Newton notch the seventh of his 10 rushing touchdowns from his MVP campaign and Olsen reel in five catches for 70 yards.
Olsen then put a bow on that trip to the past by recalling one of their last great on-field moments together—when Newton helped him make history.
“And I have a picture of me and Cam, like, hugging,” he said of reaching the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight season—a first for an NFL tight end. “And it was like, to share it with a guy who you wouldn’t have been able to do without is cool. We had some tough games, we had some amazing moments, we had personal success, we had personal failure within reason of bad games, bad moments. When you share that over nine years, long periods of time with guys, that’s the stuff you remember. Those are the memories that is what makes it so special.”
We need another couple of tissues over here.
