Cam Newton honored with Ron Hobson Media Good Guy Award – Patriots.com
Despite this and having never met media members in person, Cam Newton’s emotional honesty, patience and fantastic one-liners all season long earned him the 2020 Ron Hobson Media Good Guy Award.
NESN’s Doug Kyed, the New England chapter president of the Pro Football Writers Association, surprised Newton at the beginning of his Thursday press conference.
“It’s obviously been a trying year for many of us, but Cam is always a pleasure to interview, win or lose … It’s always easy to write or report after Cam talks,” Kyed said.
Newton held up the glass award to the laptop camera for all reporters to see, and with genuine shock, expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you! I appreciate it … That’s pretty cool right here man,” Newton said. “Thank you. Appreciate you guys.”
In the press conference that followed, Newton doubled down on exactly why he was selected to begin with. In a 25-minute interview, Newton covered everything from what he’s learned from Bill Belichick this year to the biggest sacrifice of 2020 — missing time with his children.
It was honest, vulnerable and, oftentimes, hilarious, which was the media’s experience covering Newton’s press conferences in a nutshell. As difficult as this year was on so many fronts, Newton said he learned that he was “a mentally tough SOB,” and took a great deal from the trials.
“It teaches you resiliency. It teaches you patience. It teaches you to have faith, an understanding sooner or later you’re going to get a break. I’m not looking for no handouts,” Newtonsaid. “It’s just more or less to say, ‘Bro, damn. Finally.’ 2020 man, I’m about to sign, seal, tie this year up. Put a big knot on it. I can buy every single lock, key, throw away all them keys. I don’t want to see no part of 2020, but it made me a better person. That I do believe.”
As we all turn the page and welcome 2021, we’ll leave you with one final moment that just about sums it.
“Feeling so 2021,” he said. “Can’t be any worse than 2020, ya feel?”

BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese state media outlets have run a series of articles criticising Western COVID-19 vaccines in the past week, including Pfizer’s, while touting China-made vaccines as safer and more accessible.
The reports have come as China’s vaccines, which are being rolled out to countries including Brazil, Indonesia, and Turkey, have faced criticism in the West for insufficient data disclosure.
The Global Times, a tabloid published by the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of China’s ruling Communist Party, has published more than ten reports in the past week critical of vaccines and inoculation schemes in the West.
About half of them have referred to reported deaths of some highly frail patients in Norway after being inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccine developed Pfizer and its partner BioNTech.
In a Jan. 15 editorial, the Global Times accused mainstream U.S. and British news outlets of “deliberately downplaying the deaths” and “using propaganda power to promote the Pfizer vaccine and smearing Chinese vaccines.”
“Those major Western media will immediately hype any unfavourable information about Chinese vaccines and try to amplify their impact on public psychology,” it said.
Norwegian authorities have not established a causal link between the deaths and vaccination and said on Jan. 18 they were not changing their policy on using the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
Liu Xin, an anchor with CGTN, China’s English-language state TV channel, on Jan. 16 tweeted screenshots of an unverified report of 10 deaths after vaccinations in Germany.
“Can’t independently verify but it’s concerning,” she tweeted. “What about following it up? Hello??? @BBCWorld @CNN @AP @Reuters.”
A Global Times report on Tuesday cited Chinese experts saying Australia should consider halting regulatory procedures for Pfizer’s vaccine until the investigation of the deaths is over.
It also said Australia should purchase Chinese-developed vaccines, “which are relatively safer due to their mature technology”.
The Global Times has also argued that Chinese vaccines are cheaper and easier to transport, and portrayed Pfizer as an unreliable supplier, sacrificing need in other countries to prioritise supply for the United States.
Pfizer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
The U.S. drugmaker said last week it was temporarily slowing supplies of its COVID-19 vaccine to Europe to make manufacturing changes that would boost output.
Final stage clinical trials showed the vaccine was 95% effective, with no major safety concerns.
