Peyton Manning’s best moments from Super Bowl 50 Opening Night

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton became visibly bothered Tuesday when he was asked a series of questions about black quarterbacks. “It’s an issue for you”.

The countdown is on to Super Bowl 50 next Sunday in California and ABC News’ Good Morning America has a special correspondent covering the huge event, 11-year-old Marlo Mosley.

Carolina’s All-Pro quarterback, seemingly exhausted of the topic, added: “I think we shattered that a long time ago”.

Stats only tell part of the tale of Newton’s growth into the likely league MVP this season. He did so again last week.

“No moment is too big for him”, said Newton.

“When I see Luke, the work that he puts in, from working out to preparing in the classroom, for it to come out on the field makes a person like me want to be better”. However, the newly acquired status has lowered the microscope on Newton, and brought much criticism for his supposed “on-field antics”.

Super Bowl Media Day is now officially known as Super Bowl Opening Night Fueled By Gatorade, but it’s basically the same event filled with the same weird people and the same weird interviews.

The Betting Odds: The Panthers opened as a 4 point favorite in Super Bowl 50. “I think their head coach, he says they are not going to change anything”.

So there’s a bit of reflection about the first Super Bowl, which, as we mentioned, wasn’t a Super Bowl at all. He reminded that he hasn’t shied away from talking about the color of his skin in the past. “I was like, ‘You’re right man. They left me for dead and stuff like that”.

“But if he does retire, like I said, I hope he goes out with a ring”. It’s bigger than race.

According to Mackey, the program is offered to many different majors, and just like any other job there is an extensive interview, with a committee that chooses the 12 students that get to go on the trip. “Sometimes you want to tell somebody something man-to man, it’s better than telling them via text or even a handwritten letter, or seeing them at a banquet and saying, ‘Boy, it sure was great playing against you, ‘” Manning said.
