Peyton Manning tells close friend he expects to retire
“This is exactly why I’m here”, Mathis said.
But he has learned to joke around more with the Broncos and has now set his sights on having the last laugh on the Carolina Panthers in Sunday’s Super Bowl showdown in the Levi’s Stadium.
This year, Media Day was moved to Monday at prime time to give it more exposure. (Wherefore art thou, Marshawn Lynch?) The closest thing we got was Cam Newton’s assessment of the game, which might have raised eyebrows if the spread were closer on this one.
“My father taught me the proper p’s of success – proper preparation prevents poor performances”, the 26-year-old Newton rattled off by rote.
But hey, 50 Super Bowls!
The Carolina Panthers’ All-Pro quarterback, seemingly exhausted of the topic, added: “I think we shattered that a long time ago”. Getting an opportunity to play football there I thought was incredible, but obviously, I was fortunate enough to work hard and get drafted into the NFL.
Super Bowl 50 is coming up and that means… well, it means it’s the 49th anniversary of the first Super Bowl, which was then known as the NFL-AFL World Championship.
This was the third time Newton had to deal with the subject since the Panthers made the Super Bowl. Sometimes you just want to tell someone something man to man – it’s better than via text or a handwritten letter or seeing them at a banquet. Like I said, it’ll all take place after the season. This game brings in fans from every corner of the globe, and James Brown even said, “You don’t just have a core group of fans watching this game as you have watching during the rest of the season”. A lot of them have already been released, but one that we’re super excited for stars Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen for Bud Light. Manning answered, “I’d be lying if I said I’m not thinking about that”. But I just want to become relatable.
Peyton Manning insists he hasn’t decided whether he will retire after the Super Bowl despite whatever he whispered to Bill Belichick.
“Give it to the first kid I see”, Newton said.
There will be a number of guests stopping by as well, and plenty of great segments leading up to the big game.
Even Elway struggled to make the final call to walk away for good – yet he won’t begin to compare the circumstances of his own farewell to Manning’s situation at this stage.
