Cam Newton: Ten Letterman Top 10s We'd Really Like To Hear from Big Cam

Sam WestmorelandDec 13, 2010

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?

Why It's Funny: Lots of fun things to talk about with Oregon, plus; Auburn's favored in the game. 

What He'd Say: "Do Ducks even have teeth?" "In many countries, ducks are used as Tiger bait." "With your payroll, you guys stand no chance; I'm pretty sure Michael Dyer's making more than your whole team."

Why It's Funny: Because the Horned Frogs were undefeated, too, and missed the cut for the BCS title game. 

What He'd Say: "Don't feel bad, I'm allergic to roses, anyway." "Maybe, one day, when your non-conference schedule features Arkansas State, Louisiana-Monroe and Chattanooga, you'll make the title game."

Why It's Funny: Everyone loves to rag on the BCS, and even Newton should get into the act, right?

What He'd Say: "The BCS taught me that all you need to do to be the No. 1 team in the country is allow 25 points per game and beat a 6-6 team by three points in overtime at home."

Why It's Funny: Newton's basically a lock to jump to the NFL after this season, and once there, we'll all want to see how he handles his first contract negotiation.

Why It's Funny: Everyone wants to know why Newton left Florida. This is his chance to tell the world.
