{Fox Borough, Massachusetts November 29}
Cam Newton the number one of the New England Patriots looks on down during the game against the Arizona Cardinals at Gillette Stadium on November 29_2020 in Fox Borough, Massachusetts.
Earlier this week, Scott Zolak came under fire for his comments on Newton and rap music. The former Patriots quarterback believed Newton was distracted at practice.
According to Scott Zolak i did turn off the rap music, Zolak who was reporting from practice said. Because i think it is distracting for Cam here. Because in between every throw he is dancing that he can't help himself. Former Patriots QB Scott Zolak says he believes the rap music is hurting Cam Newton's game. Zolak has since apologized for what he said.
Though it was Cam first day back at practice and we had some issues back in studio, so cohosts Hardy and Adam were back there. I was trying to evaluate Cam through the process of his first couple throws, and I blamed music for being a distraction in his preparation in between a couple throws that he had. And I reference the genre of rap that was being played.
That is something I know that drawn attention to for being racially insensitive. I’m sorry for that comment. I didn’t need to make that comment.
I should not even ever bring any sort of music into play, because I have no clue what’s going on in a player’s head. It has been a rough last couple days here, and I wanted to do this on air. It’s the first time I’ve been on air since Thursday and Friday was an off day, so we traveled down here Saturday and i don't want to do a call in or anything like that.
Chris Gasper, i am sorry if my comments offended you personally. I am passionate about this team, the position. Playing, the position that is basically the only position i watch really, in practice he said, per NESN.
Zolak added that he is since been able to speak with Newton.
I did this, this morning. Yeah, and that is one thing. I wanted to talk to him before i talked about this, to let him know. I got a chance to talk to him, and Cam nothing but class Great guy. He handled it perfect. I mean, that is between me and him. So that is where i stand by it.
The Patriots are currently taking on the Giants on NBC..!!
