Nate Newton Doesn't Discuss Dog Fighting on NFL Network

In a bizarre segment today on NFL Network's Total Access, former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Nate Newton joined Deion Sanders and a couple of other panelists at a barbershop to talk about the NFL issues of the day. I don't know why they were at a barbershop, and I really don't know why NFL Network would bring Newton on unless he was there to talk about dog fighting.

Newton was once arrested at a dog fight, and the biggest story of the NFL off-season is the investigation into dog fighting on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's property. So how on earth can the NFL Network have Newton on the air if he's not going to offer some insight into dog fighting?

Vick's name came up during the segment, but Newton said nothing until the subject was changed. What does NFL Network think it's offering its viewers by having Newton zip his lips when the one subject about which he might have some insight is broached? Next time, NFL Network should tell Newton he can either talk about the Vick dog fighting case or stay home.

Newton was either smart, advised by his attorney, or whatever. What did he have to say?

I didn't see it. I just came across the blog and posted it. I wouldn't be surprised if NFLN told him to keep his mouth shut, but then it doesn't make sense to have him on in the first place.

Nate's got enough going on right now and is supposedly trying to turn his life around. If he is going to be a good role model for the kids, he should just leave all that stuff behind him.

I agree. I'm happy to see him out and about. Nice to see guys getting second chances.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Him commenting on dog fighting would be stupid, look what happened to Portis.

He could comment that it's an awful activity and he has learned from his mistakes, but maybe he did the right thing by saying nothing.

 

[Big Dakota]

He was waiting for the "mass quantities of marijuana" segment.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Nate isn't stupid. The backlash Portis is sure to be getting is fresh in everyone's mind. He just sat there and waited for the next topic.

 

[Vintage]

Nate was at a dog fight?

Odd. Some posters I thought who'd be all over this aren't saying much.

Though, it is a Friday night.

I don't think they "vigilante" retroactively.

I thought I said no more stupid clubs.

I never heard about that.

 

[silverbear]

I never heard about that.

Neither had I... but for the record, I said anybody who attends a dog fight is a piece of crap and a waste of DNA, and if Nate did, that applies to him, too... unless it's one of those deals where he really didn't know what went on there, got disgusted when he saw the "festivities", and left...

Yeah, riiiiiggghhhtttttt....

 

[theebs]

that barbershop segment is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen.

And I am tired of nate newtons input. He needs to just go away.

He has a regular gig on espn 1033 and he is pretty much awful. Pretty much all he talks about is the great parties and all the partying and good times he had. I mean for him to be on the radio so much talking about that stuff is pretty ridiculous, I find it boring and him hard to listen to.

Mix him with deion sanders and well, its awful.

 

[JackMagist]

I never heard about that.

Nor have I ever heard about Nate being at any Dog Fight...much less having been arrested for it. You would think that would have made the news for a couple of days at least. Now I want details...(when, where and what were the charges against him?)

I listened to nate pretty much every time he was on the little ball of hate the last 6 months or so and not once did he talk about partying. As a matter of fact he misses studio time and calls in cause he is doing service with kids trying to educate them to stay away from the crap he did. He is very open about his mistakes and frankly not once have I heard him glorify a thing he did or talk about partying.

I like hearing from a linemen about what matters in football and he offers that perspective.

The one time nate and deion filled in for the mid afternoon show it was very entertaining radio.

Much ado about nothing.

Never thought I'd see the day that Nate Newton was criticized for not talking enough.

 

[Commodore1]

in 1991? Combined with his drug violation, tell me again why this guy is employed by ESPN radio. Sad to say, I could forgive the drug offense. But not the dog fighting (even if he was only an attendee). I have always loved the guy. No more.

I don't think the Cowboys or ESPN should have anything to do with this guy.

he can't win - if he believes in it and says so, he's railed by the public. well, the public that can't think for itself.

if he doesn't believe in it, he's a hypocrite.

he had 2 choices really - shut up (a good one) or say while he did, he understands the differences and now does discourage it for others.
