“Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser”, Newton said, borrowing from Vince Lombardi, as the Panthers cleaned out their lockers.

This was a clearly disappointed Newton, still suffering from the sting of the Super Bowl loss, who grew irritated with the questions from the media.
It should be a magical offseason for Miller, who led Denver’s dominating defense to a 24-10 clobbering of Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. “I didn’t get the fumble, but we can play tit-for-tat”, he said.
“He’s 40 years old, he’s played so much more football than me”, Manning’s father told the Los Angeles Times.
“At the end of the day, people pick and they do things of that sort and the truth of the matter is, who are you to say that your way is right?” When I look back at how I handled it, I promised to never be that person again. I am my own person.
“It’s very special, I’m very proud of these guys”, said Manning, who said he was unwilling to make a decision about his future plans in the heat of the moment.
Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks used to shout, “I’m going to Disneyland” while the postgame confetti swirled around them. I want the buses to be late to the airport if we’re traveling. I’m going to drink a lot of Budweiser tonight Tracy, I promise you that. “Everybody reacts differently, and unfortunately, at the end of the day we didn’t get it done”.
“That is a beauty of a guy like that – he wants to win and his teammates know it. That is what it is about”. “Sometimes we have a little brass, have a little fun; we talk a little stuff – ‘That’s what I’m talking about; in your face'”.
“It was just awesome because he was on a team that could help him get a win”, Denver coach Gary Kubiak told reporters after the game. I didn’t dive down. I fumbled. That’s fine.
“You don’t know the young man. Losing is not an easy thing”, Rivera said. There is so much hard work and it is such a long season that to be able to win the world championship and exhale and say, “We are world champs” is a great feeling.
Miller is also set to become an unrestricted free agent, but Elway will use the franchise tag on him if he has to, guaranteeing Miller close to $15 million next season. If he wants to play some more football, he’s going to have to go to another team.

Newton said that if he had thrown an interception and not tried to make the tackle to avoid an injury he likely would have not heard any complaints.
