“Listen here mama, baby, I know everything that we think, we don’t need to say,” Newton said. “Everything we need to say don’t need to be posted. “I didn’t even really want to talk about this because you know, Dallas situation, Cowboy. This is real spill for anybody in the NFL, college sports, it don’t matter as a whole. Supporting cast don’t make it any better by voicing their honest opinion.
“I say this respectfully. Just shut up. Just shut up. Because it’s not gonna do any good. … you’re gonna bring more trouble.” Lamb’s mother’s public criticism raises concerns about the potential impact on team dynamics and the need for internal resolution to ensure the Cowboys’ Super Bowl aspirations remain intact
