Michael Giardi (@MikeGiardi) The broadcast did not make clear what led Newton to react the way he did, but the 31-year-old quarterback after the game confirmed the Dolphins playerstake his chain."It was a competitive game on both sides," Newton said (). "You just have to realize who you're talking to, and just keep everything in the game. I realized I was talking to a person that's known for doing splits. So it wasn't characteristic of myself to keep going back and forth."But at the end of the day, it's football; and for me, no matter who it is, I play with a competitive edge and I expect the other team to have a competetive edge as well. And at the end of the day, anything outside of that, it's just all about respect. I don't disrespect nobody, and I wouldn't want anybody to disrespect me."Added Newton when asked whether his chain was taken: "I still got my chain. I got two of 'em. They were reaching Joe Blanton Jersey for my chain, though. They were reacing for my chain. And I think that kind of got up under my skin. ..."And I don't want to be selfish to kind of focus or dwell on that. I think for Kevin Long Jersey us as a team, or me personally a lot of tempers can flare. And I was just teasing with coach, just letting him know that the College Park almost came out of me. Yet through it all, man, it was fun and games; and it was expected." Fantastic.One can only a sume that "coach" in this case is Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, and that Newton's "College Park" quote is a reference to the part of Atlanta Howie Kendrick Jersey , Ga., where he's from.The attack on Newton's chain was pretty much the only negative aspect of hisPatriots debut. He completed 15 of 19 pa ses for 155 yards, rushed for 75 yards and 2 touchdowns on 15 carries and led New England to a 1-0 record.UPDATE: After the game, Newton posted about the attempted chain-snatching incident on Instagram.
