Panthers, Broncos meet reporters at Super Bowl media circus

“The reality is he let the cat out of the bag a little bit”, Rapoport said Monday.

San Francisco residents are being warned to brace for heavy traffic and big crowds when Super Bowl festivities get underway. Time is short. He was in no hurry.

“This is what we worked so hard for, to be in this game”, Kalil said Sunday.

The first inquires involved his future, namely: Does he have one in the NFL? We don’t know, but it is sounding more and more like this horse’s career might last only one final game.

Following a few questions about Newton’s season and game plans, analyst Deion Sanders broached the topic by first bringing out another elaborately colorful pair of Versace trousers as a gift for the Panthers quarterback. Some spectators have even dubbed that this much-awaited matchup as the “Golden Super Bowl”, due to it will be played in the Golden State on its golden anniversary.

“I wanted a booth back in (2011), and I said, ‘How do I get up there?”

“I’m a football player”, he said. But the Colts game was the low point, a game in which the defense surrendered 27-points with a series of errors and stupid penalties, something that plagued the defense all season. I will have a comprehensive analysis.

If this wasn’t his last time on this stage, in this week, it certainly felt like that. And perhaps the key moment of Denver’s season hinged on a coaching decision, as Kubiak put Manning in against the Chargers and saw him lead the team to victory. The line opened at around Panthers -3.5 and has rapidly ascended to Panthers -6.5 on the strength of numerous shape bettors realizing that it’s going to take an act of God for the Broncos to score more than 17 points against the Panthers without help from special teams and/or defense. Asked about MVPs of the offense, he praised with a straight face the work of kicker Brandon McManus and punter Britton Colquitt. “I thought it’d be a different feeling, but it’s surprising how normal it was”.

“I had no idea that was a bridge we were standing on”, said Manning, getting ready for his fourth Super Bowl. I’ve been flexible; I haven’t been stubborn. “I have been flexible”.

Manning has shut down a recent Al-Jazeera America report that linked Manning and others to human growth hormone as “garbage” from the moment it came out.

Would Manning return the endorsement?

“I welcome the investigation”. “I know it is the Super Bowl”. “I know the rules of the National Football League, and I respect the rules and they’re important to me”. “I guarantee what the investigation will find: a big fat nothing”.

Manning has strongly denied the allegations and is considering legal action against those who made the claim, as exclusively revealed in Starsport.

Newton was charged with allegedly stealing another student’s laptop at the University of Florida in 2008 (the charges were later dropped after the quarterback went through a pre-trial intervention program) and was part of an eligibility scandal later at Auburn that ultimately did not cost him playing time. “You’ve got the legend in Peyton Manning going up against an up-and-coming superstar in Cam Newton”, said Bush.

“I welcome it”, Manning said of the investigation, also suggesting he would hand over any documentation from the Guyer Institute in Indianapolis, which is where he received treatment for a neck problem in 2011.

He referenced Redford’s role as Roy Hobbs in “The Natural”. But in the end, the football gods give Peyton Manning the chance to ride off into the professional sunset with another ring.

He wasn’t prepared to admit that.

If the AFC Conference Championship game between New England and Denver on January 24 is any indication, the Super Bowl is shaping up to draw record numbers.

“I don’t think I can do that”, Newton said. “I think injuries, sometimes they have to occur in order to kind of reinforce that kind of philosophy and type of thinking”.
