Two members of Seahawks defense bash Cam Newton after Super Bowl 50
Bruce Irvin and Frank Clark apparently aren't fans of Cam Newton.

Cam Newton didn't dive for a fourth-quarter fumble during Super Bowl 50, a fumble that sealed the Panthers' loss to the Broncos, and now he's getting killed for it. The latest to weigh-in is Seahawks defensive lineman Frank Clark, who just wrapped up his rookie season, which featured two losses to Newton and the Panthers.
Unsurprisingly, Clark didn't have much sympathy for Newton, posting an expletive-laced video to Twitter in which he called Newton something I'm not allowed to write, adding "Can't wait to play this punk-(expletive)." You can watch that video here, but again, the language is very NSFW.
Here's the play in question ...

Clark wasn't done, firing off a few more tweets.
Respected this mans game until then. See ya week 5.

Hey I've lost twice to him though, boy good but no respect. Backbone of this league is Toughness. Crunch time he want grapes, I'm eating mud

The closing zinger was provided by Seahawks pass rusher Bruce Irvin, who hit Newton with the "my quarterback would've done better than you" burn.
Lol Russell woulda got the football

As Clark mentioned, the two teams will meet next season -- that's good news, considering a nice rivalry seems to be forming and both teams are at or near the top of the NFC pecking order. In the words of Bart Scott, "Can't wait."
