Newton defends actions after Super Bowl

Manning later reiterated the same message from the podium after triumphing over Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.

“That’s cool, ” Newton said.

“I was just talking to Coach Kubiak and I was asking if you could make the plane do back flips on the way home”, Miller said after accepting the Super Bowl MVP trophy from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. I’m not that guy.

The quarterback ended his 18th year in the professional ranks by winning Super Bowl 50 on Sunday in Santa Clara, where the Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10. Newton said. “That’s what I don’t understand”. But you must pay close attention to what they say and what they do. When Denver’s Von Miller stripped Newton, the quarterback appeared to pass up a chance to dive for the fumble, allowing the Broncos to recover and subsequently seal the game. I fumbled – that’s fine. It’s okay for a fifth-year National Football League quarterback not to be jolly and ecstatic after his team loses a game that meant everything.

I didn’t get the fumble, but you can play tit for tat. “So we need to learn from this experience and give ourselves an opportunity to get back here”. I have said it since day one, I am who I am.

On 2015 success and looking forward:”We had an unbelievable season and we did what a lot of people didn’t expect us to do”.

Asked by a CBS reporter after the Super Bowl if this was the last game of his career, Manning said, “I’m going to drink a lot of Budweiser tonight, Tracy, I promise you that”. I’m going to follow old coaches’ advice and I think I’ll make a good decision and I think I’ll be at peace with it whichever way it goes.

On if he has any regrets from how he handled the news conference after the game: “I really don’t”.

A spokesperson for New Era, the maker of the caps, says that, despite an inspection, a lone hat with “Champions” sewed on upside down got through the cracks.

Rivera said he had no issue with the way Newton reacted to his second fumble. But at the end of the day things have to happen.

“I don’t know why Archie would say that”, Elway said. As he was speaking, teammates stood around him, shouting “we love Cam”. Yes, Newton was wrong, but he wasn’t the only one – as if that absolves him of the commitment he had to his team, fans and the National Football League to be professional in that press conference.
