Carolina Panthers heading for Super Bowl 50, Cam in zebra pants

“The team loves him”. He may have been happy about the win, but Elway knew he couldn’t get to a Super Bowl with Tebow, who was summarily traded to the Jets soon after Elway landed Manning.

“I’m an African-American quarterback that may scare a lot of people because they haven’t seen nothing that they can compare me to”, Newton said. I ran up on 10 pretty fast. It’s really about, ‘Boy, you’ve really developed.

“He’s dealt with a lot of adversity and (I’m) proud of the way he’s handled the situation”, Eli said. But I have the nice baseball jackets packed and some lightweight jackets.

“You never know”, Capers said.

Randall Alexander Varnum, 29, from Mexico City, will be tuning in to watch the Super Bowl to root on Carolina.

This is the Super Bowl, after all.

And then there are officials who can’t keep up with the speed of the game and way too often have to caucus and then turn to replays to try and get it straight.

There sure is more temptation for hindsight when the ultimate result doesn’t go a coach’s way, of course. “But the fact he did it four weeks ago and turned the game around is probably his biggest accomplishment”.

“I kind of think like everybody else, where you see this as possibly being the last game”, Eli Manning said.

“But I think the better you are at being a placekicker, the more valuable you are going to be”. Despite the Broncos’ insanely adorable mascot, everyone (even freakin’ basketball players) knows the Panthers have this one in the bag.

A player who may or may not be the future of the franchise at quarterback, Brock Osweiler proved to be a valuable member of the Broncos this season, recording a 5-2 record as a starter while Manning was out with injuries. “Now, I’m just on to however I can help”. “I don’t know how to describe it….” It’s why the Broncos have won 11 games decided by seven points or less, the most in National Football League history.

“When it’s time to work it’ll be time to work”, Edwards said.

Through social media posts the team took the world into the locker room and buses, giving fans a peek at what they were experiencing Sunday afternoon.

“It is a homecoming of sorts”, Rivera said. But I’ll stick with Peyton because he’s a very good guy. “Dave this year has been terrific”.

Davis won last year’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award for his community work.

“Puerto Ricans usually support their own in sports, so Ron Rivera and the Panthers will be the favorites on the island”, he said. His head coaching moves were also smart, from hiring John Fox in 2011 to provide a measure of discipline and stability, to believing the time was right to part ways with Fox after the 2014 season because of philosophical differences. “I’ve got a lot of confidence. I was just rolling solo dolo, whatever I wanted to do”.

He’s made the most of this one.
