Panthers great Cam Newton goes scorched earth on celeb detractors amid Jalen Hurts debate
Carolina Panthers great Cam Newton just hit the nuclear button. The franchise's all-time leading passer and former NFL Most Valuable Player had received a bit of criticism after not including Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts on his recent list of the game's top 10 quarterbacks. Newton, however, believed that some of the backlash was too pointed and too personal. So, he took out a little time this week to respond to the detractors—including ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, Ryan Clark and Dan Orlovsky, Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and rapper/Eagles superfan Gillie Da Kid. Strap in . . . To Newton's point, he did not disparage Hurts for his talents and abilities under center. In fact, he praised the reigning Super Bowl MVP. Here's what Newton said of Hurts during that July 17 episode of 4th & 1 with Cam Newton: "Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback. Do not get that twisted," he stated. "But if we're talking about what they bring to the table, it's hard to judge what Jalen Hurts can do when you're throwing to a guy like A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith. When you have a tight end skill set, you have a dominant defense, you have the best running back [Saquon Barkley] in the game." Newton's list went down as follows: Josh Allen Lamar Jackson Patrick Mahomes Joe Burrow Matthew Stafford Jared Goff Jayden Daniels C.J. Stroud Justin Herbert Baker Mayfield Despite his reasoning, the debate got turned up to a pretty spicy level—as is often the case in today's media landscape. Oh, and when you have Newton in the mix, well, it's bound to get even spicier. So, that's what y'all wanted to see, huh?This article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: Cam Newton goes nuclear on celeb detractors amid Jalen Hurts debate

Brittney Griner Reveals Horrific Moment In Russian Prison: "Stripped Me Down In Front Of 7 To 8 Men"
Brittney Griner Reveals Horrific Moment In Russian Prison: "Stripped Me Down In Front Of 7 To 8 Men" originally appeared on Fadeaway World. WNBA star Brittney Griner has always been open about her traumatic experience in Russia, but her latest revelation on Cam Newton's podcast painted the most disturbing picture yet. As she is in her 13th season in the league, Griner sat down to relive the gut-wrenching moments of her 2022 imprisonment and eventual prisoner swap, including a deeply dehumanizing episode during her transfer. "The trade took a little minute to happen, too, on my end. I had to get transferred from the penal colony to a men's prison in Moscow, and I got checked into there. I knew I was getting traded, but the way they were treating me, their one little last play to terrorize me or mess with me." "Because they were checking me in, they had me stripped down, butt naked, in front of a room like probably 7 to 8 men, and they had the Polaroid and had me spinning in a circle, while they were taking the photos right, of my tattos because my tattos are whatever they are. That was last little addict to mess with me." Griner had already endured the brutal conditions of Russia's IK-2 penal colony, infamous for its labor, harsh climate, and limited access to basic hygiene. But just before her release in a high-profile prisoner exchange, Russian authorities subjected her to one final act of humiliation. In what she described as a deliberate psychological play, Griner was transferred to a men's prison in Moscow, a location she believes was never meant to hold her, but rather to rattle her spirit one last time. It was an experience she compared to being turned into an object, a powerless figure caught in a display meant to break her. It wasn't about protocol. It was about control, shame, and inflicting psychological damage just before she walked free. Griner was eventually taken from the prison by a group of masked Russian operatives and driven to a secret airfield, one that, according to her, doesn't appear on maps. She was flown to Abu Dhabi for the final leg of the swap, where she would be exchanged for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout in a deal brokered by the Biden administration. Even during the flight, the cruelty didn't stop. The masked men taunted her, made remarks about her sexuality, and seemed determined to remind her that she'd been under their thumb until the very last second. Still, Griner maintained her resolve, knowing that home and freedom were finally within reach. Griner's story is a reminder that her return to basketball wasn't just a comeback story; it was survival. Her strength in recounting these moments not only sheds light on the conditions she faced but also reinforces why her voice continues to matter, far beyond the story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Brittney Griner reveals disturbing truth about her Russian prison cellmate's crimes: 'Didn't really sleep'
Brittney Griner has described what life was like while in a Russian detention facility in the past, but she revealed some horrifying details about what led one of her cellmates to be in prison with her. Griner made an appearance on Cam Newton's "Funky Friday" podcast, where the Atlanta Dream star discussed her time incarcerated. During that conversation, Griner explained how inmates were not separated based on the crimes they committed. So, while she said most inmates were in prison due to murder or drugs, one of her early cellmates was there for a vile reason. "I had a cellmate in the very beginning. I thought something was off with her," Griner said. "She acted like a child, but she was a grown woman, but she very much acted like an adolescent child. And then she had burn marks all over herself, and I found out after the fact that she was selling videos online of her husband and her child — together. And that's who they had me in a cell with." Griner added that the nature of her cellmate's crimes led others in prison to "torture" her. "There's not a lot of torturing from inmates with girls on the women's side," Griner said. "But if you in there for something like that, yeah, you going to get tortured. And they would put their cigarettes out on her and make her sleep at the door, too." Griner went on to say how she was "mad" about the prison not being separated by crime, as she didn't want others to "associate me with that one." "I didn't really sleep at night 'cause she be over there singing and doing weird stuff at night," Griner said of the roommate. Griner shared details of her harrowing experience last year during a sit-down with ABC News' "Good Morning America" in 2024. She had said she believed her "life is over right here" after realizing she left vape cartridges in her luggage at a Russian airport in February 2022. Griner was playing basketball overseas, which is common for WNBA players. "I was just so scared," she said in the emotional interview. Griner was transferred to a Russian penal colony roughly 300 miles outside of Moscow after being sentenced to nine years in prison. She served nearly 10 months of that sentence before being released as part of a prisoner exchange. "The mattress had a huge blood stain on it. I had no soap, no toilet paper. That was the moment where I just felt less than a human," Griner noted about the time in prison. Since returning home, Griner has gained a new perspective on life in the United States, which was on full display at the Paris Olympics in 2024. Griner, who once boycotted the national anthem, was seen emotional about Team USA winning another gold medal in basketball. "I didn't think I would be here," she said, via Reuters. "And then to be here and winning gold for my country, representing when my country fought for me so hard to even be standing here. This gold medal is going to hold a special place among the other two I was fortunate to win." Griner, 34, stars for the Dream now, where she's averaging 10.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. She is a nine-time All-Star, two-time scoring champion and eight-time blocks leader over her career.
