Cam Newton: Ten Letterman Top 10s We'd Really Like To Hear from Big Cam
Well, it would appear that the Cam Newton's Heisman victory is going to land him a spot on David Letterman's couch tonight.
The Auburn quarterback won the trophy in a ceremony Saturday in the Big Apple, and as part of his victory lap of the city, reports have surfaced that Newton is going to end up on The Late Show, sitting on the same spot on the same sofa where countless star athletes have sat before.
But, perhaps Newton will also get the honor of doing a Top Ten list. You know those, where they count down 10 clever quips and quotes about a person's area of expertise.
Well, we've compiled 10 different Top Ten lists we hope Newton will give us (but probably won't). They cover everything from his Heisman speech, to his time at Florida, to his potential national championship this season. We've got a couple of potential pieces from each of those lists, too.
Let's get started, shall we?
