OK, so a little while ago, we told you about how Snoop Dogg was allowed to ask Peyton Manning a couple questions today, which is probably proof that, at this point, Super Bowl players should be allowed to skip all of their press conferences between now and Sunday.

Snoop Dogg was causing quite a commotion at the table behind the one where Greg Olsen sat during the Panthers’ media session Thursday.
The non-Snoop reporters on scene didn’t seem to mind the interloper, who was there as a temporary correspondent for Rich Eisen’s radio show.
He first started off with Peyton whom he politely asked: “Can I get a 50 per cent discount on Papa John’s pizza when I enter the state of Colorado?”
Snoop followed up by asking if Peyton takes advice from dad Archie and brother Eli as he approaches the Super Bowl.
Snoop took time to take a few questions from his fellow reporters. “Alright. Bye.’ But he was like, ‘So Snoop, yeah, you know, hey.’ He even called me by my name, man!” I mean, we’re still at our team hotel, so it just gives you guys something else to talk about, you know? Newton responded. “It’s just comfort”. Snoop’s appearances livened up the monotonous interview session. “That has merit with me, him saying that”. “And the least I can do is send the good stuff to the good people of Flint, Michigan, who are struggling”.

“All that matters to me, ” said Norman, the Panthers’ shutdown cornerback. They tried to block me one-on-one with a tight end and that didn’t work well. “But moment in time right now I have three days left and all my time and energy is focused on this right here”. I went from playing on his team as a kid and now I’m playing this game. Coach Ron Rivera said he’s easing Allen back. “I got plenty of rest on Wednesday and I’ll be practicing [Thursday]”.
