Cam Newton is currently signing autographs at a mall in Charlotte. Signed photos are $125. $150 will get you a Bless’ed football. $175 will get you a jersey. And stupidly, a lot of folks are crying fowl, including Charlotte Observer columnist Scott Fowler. He thinks athletes, or at least Cam, should cramp his hand for free (he does, constantly), at least in Charlotte.
“For some reason, it feels different to me when Newton is charging for autographs in Alabama,” Fowler wrote.
Cam was the main attraction at an autograph session at a Huntsville mall in February. The price tag on his signature was the same.
“That was from a different time in his life.”
Exactly. At this point in his career, he should be asking for twice that.
Judging by the line today, he probably could.
But if the citizens of Charlotte are worried about getting ripped off, some guy named Bo Jackson will be autographing stuff after Newton. He’s only charging $75.

If Fowler lived in Alabama he would be a bammer…no question about it. For one thing, he knows the way to get people to read his pitiful column is to write about Cam….which brings out the Cam-haters, from all over the US I think, and gets him lots of hits on his web site. The USCe fans just can’t get over the fact that Cam cooked their gamecocks.
