Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said 87 words in his Super Bowl 50 postgame press conference. In the hours since he walked off after closing his availability by saying, "I'm done man," there's been a whole lot of consternation about how, exactly, that presser went down. (You may have seen some #takes on the subject in the late night and early morning hours. If you're reading this post, you almost definitely have seen them.)

Below, we've got the full transcript, via ESPN.com.

What's your message to Panthers fans?
"We'll be back."

Ron [Rivera] said Denver two years ago had a tough time and they bounced back. Do you take that to heart?
"No."

Can you put a finger on why Carolina didn't play the way it normally plays?
"Got outplayed."

Is there a reason why?
"Got outplayed, bro."

Was it pretty much what you had seen on film from Denver? Anything different they put in for this game?
"Nothing different."

Do we sometimes forget that defenses can still take apart the offenses in this game?
"No."

What did Ron Rivera say after the game?
"He told us a lot of things."

Anything in particular that was memorable?
"Nope."

Obviously you're disappointed. On the biggest stage it's difficult, I know.
[nods head]

Did you see anything that you didn't expect tonight?
"They just played better than us. I don't know what you want me to say. They made more plays than us, and that's what it comes down to. We had our opportunities. It wasn't nothing special that they did. We dropped balls, we turned the ball over, gave up sacks, threw errant passes. That's it. They scored more points than us."

Can you put into words the disappointment you feel right now?
"We lost."

Did Denver change anything defensively to take away your running lanes?
"No."

I know you're disappointed not just for yourself, but for your teammates. It's got to be real tough.
[shakes head] "I'm done man."

Cam's postgame media session: not great. (USATSI)

That doesn't look quite as bad as it has been made out to be without the visual of Newton slinking back in his seat, low-whispering his answers, and then walking off the stage. He answered most of the questions, even if he did so with only a few words on most occasions.

The one question he was asked multiple times (if Denver did anything differently/changed anything) seemed like it got to him a bit, but he expanded on his answer the second time around anyway. He then skated around the "can you write my story for me" question ("Can you put into words the disappointment you feel right now?") and declined to answer the two "questions" that weren't actual questions.

Without the visuals -- or even without his name attached to the Q&A session -- it all seems pretty banal. The visuals matter, of course, but there does seem to be a whole lot of moralizing over what reads like a pretty standard losing player press availability.
