Hall of Famer Richard Dent would try to 'knock (Cam Newton's) ass out of the game'

Cam Newton has ticked off a number of defensive players around the NFL with his in-your-face touchdown celebrations.
He’s also rubbed one of the league's greatest former defensive stars the wrong way, too.
“It’s disrespect,” Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent told USA TODAY Sports.
Dent, 55, who won Super Bowl XX MVP honors with the 1985 Chicago Bears, can only imagine how he would react to Newton’s antics if he played against him in his prime.
“I’m going to knock your ass out of the game. That would’ve been my approach,” Dent said.

“At some point in the game — not with a cheap shot — I’m going to try to get a shot that puts you out for the day. That’s the risk when you want to showboat all the time.”
The next chance for Newton to dab in the end zone comes Sunday, when the undefeated Panthers visit the New York Giants, seeking to become just the fourth team to in NFL history to go 14-0.
At 6-5, 245 pounds, Newton, 26, is bigger than many of the defensive ends from Dent’s era. His answer to opponents who despise his pay dirt theatre? Stop me from scoring.
“Act like this is what you’re getting paid to do,” Dent said. “But these kids, that’s what you get in the Twitter, Facebook world. It’s ‘Look at me!' "
It’s not like Dent and his teammates didn’t create some attention during their heyday. During their run the Super Bowl XX crown, when current Panthers coach Ron Rivera was a backup linebacker, the Bears ignited much criticism by producing The Super Bowl Shuffle video, which was filmed and released weeks before they annihilated the Patriots 46-10 for their only Super Bowl victory.
Yet it’s apparent that Dent, who hails from Atlanta (like Newton), believes the current MVP frontrunner has taken it too far with the repeated celebrations. As much as he appreciates Newton’s physical skills and development as a quarterback, he wonders about his psyche.
“His head is so high,” Dent said, “he’s going to have a problem after he’s finished playing — personality-wise — if he doesn’t get to where he wants to be.”
