After the event, Olsen offered a mea culpa, saying he had an entire section of his speech written about Newton. Unfortunately, “in the midst the emotions and trying to cover a lot of bases,” Olsen forgot that part.
And as he enjoyed a chance to celebrate his own career, he said he hopes Newton gets his.
“He deserves it,” Olsen said. “If there’s a list of people who love Cam and care for him and appreciate him, I’m at the top of it. I’ve said before, he’s the best thing that ever happened to my career. I don’t know if I have the career I had if not for the nine years I spent with him. He made me a better player. We enjoyed each other as people. We’re very different people, and I think that’s what made it so special and made our connection
