The American Gaming Association said Wednesday that Americans will bet $4.2 billion on Super Bowl 50, which will be held February 7 at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. “They were playing with their hands behind their back with the snap count and not giving those guys up front something to think about”. It’s going to be a great challenge, but the thing about it is we have experienced coaches on the offensive side of the ball who have seen a lot of different things from every position. And I think a lot of people would agree with that. I may have been able to make that prediction but I could have never dreamed that he would be going for his second Super Bowl win at age 38 in Super Bowl 50. Manning hasn’t thrown for over 225 yards in each of his last four games, but he had thrown for 260 or more in his previous four games this season. I could see us going higher (possibly to 5.5, but even to 6). Rather than celebrating a division foe’s loss one game shy of the Super Bowl, isn’t it time to celebrate a win, or a meaningful one at that?

Should the Panthers win Super Bowl 50, Rivera would become the fourth person to win as a player and head coach, along with Tom Flores, Mike Ditka and Tony Dungy. There are plenty of storylines to go around as we get ready for the last game of the year, on the grandest stage of them all. Who knew that 18 years after “The Duke” apparently rode off into the Denver sunset after a Super Bowl victory that he would be controlling the team that No. 18 “The Sheriff” had poised to repeat Denver history with an aging quarterback.
Kubiak introduced a Broncos tradition, which he described as “Wise Words”, whereby any player or coach in the organization could end a team practice by uttering a short prepared statement of advice or encouragement. I’ve said this because of the precedent the national media set with its reaction to Deflategate. They weren’t the only ones who liked Manning, however, and the Carolina Panthers in fact tried to trade up to get Manning. How many get to play each other twice a year? “I know he wants to go out with a bang”, Norman said.
Close ones: The Super Bowl should have suspense.
At least Fox didn’t take a knee in the Super Bowl. I’ve got the easiest job in the world because I actually like it. Some people are sitting at a desk, typing on a computer, and it’s just not me. It’s you and that one man. You gonna live or not?
Not even younger brother and two-time Super Bowl victor Eli Manning knows what Peyton’s plans are but conceded signing off as a Super Bowl victor is not a bad way to end a career.
