The Carolina Panthers quarterback has had his problems with the media this season, previously no-showing one press conference and landing in hot water for a sexist remark to a woman reporter in another.
The team addressed the incident through a statement, courtesy of Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network:
Cam didn't intend to be discourteous toward any specific media member. In his mind after answering questions for nine minutes he had fulfilled his obligations.
