Clark Criticizes Newton's Loyalty After Whitlock Interview

ESPN analyst Ryan Clark expressed disappointment in Cam Newton after the former Carolina Panthers quarterback had Jason Whitlock as a guest on his "4th & 1" podcast. Clark took to social media to comment on the situation, writing, "If someone shows you love, has you on 'their' show twice a week… at least. You don't bring his known enemy on your show and allow your guest to talk [poop emoji] about person."

"That's not G at all. Loyalty is at a minimum these days," Clark added, without directly naming Newton but making it clear his comments were directed at his colleague. The criticism stems from Whitlock blasting Stephen A. Smith during the interview, which reportedly created tension within ESPN as both hosts work for the network.
