Depending on your view of Cam Newton, this either helps or hurts his MVP case.

The Carolina Panthers quarterback seemed to confuse the heck out of his teammates Sunday with a wacky audible. He's heard at the line yelling "even janitor" when a baffled lineman asks "is that real?"

If you're against Newton, you'd probably point out that he can't even communicate with his own teammates. If you support him, you'd argue that he's on the verge of an MVP award after leading his team to a 15-1 record in spite of that.

The real question is this: what kind of an audible is "even janitor" anyway? Is that what they call when they're mopping up opponents, as the Panthers did to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their 38-10 win?

Whatever it means, it's not as good as Tom Brady shouting "Rex Ryan" at the line of scrimmage.
