The Pro Bowl is a laid-back game, one for relaxing, spending time with your peers and unwinding after a tough season. The resort where players are housed is for them and their families only to prevent fan interference.

So when Newton turned down one player's request for an autograph and a picture for his kids at a function, it angered the player.

"Who the hell did he think they were?" said one player. "The only people around are families. He knew that. Yet he big-timed the guy by saying 'now's not the time.'"

That player said Newton did the unthinkable and even dissed Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.

"That's the godfather there," one player said. "Can you believe he did that?"

Said another player: "It didn't matter who it was, he didn't care about anybody but himself."

Lewis denied that he was dissed when asked through Ravens PR man Kevin Byrne, but other players confirmed that it happened.
He has an older brother who has been in the NFL before he got there. This guy is all kinds of stupid.

This is the same guy who does his Superman BS after scrambling for a 1st down, in the 4th quarter, down by 20. Would you expect any less?

As I remember his arrogance was pretty well documented when he was at Auburn. Lots of guys get "big man on campus" syndrome, it takes an extraordinary hubris for it to earn national press.
