It was ideal out for Manning, because the last thing he was going to do was talk about the future.

Now known as “Super Bowl Opening Night”, the free-for-all with the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos will last one hour with each team on Monday night.
He asked a few other questions, and I told him he should really consider using his six-foot-eight-inch, 280-pound size to gain access, looking over to the scrum of reporters in front of Denver Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning.
Manning won’t be asked to throw 36 times through the first three quarters, the way he did nine years ago in the Colts’ 29-17 Super Bowl win against the Bears.
Davis broke his arm in the NFC championship game but says he expects to play in the Super Bowl.
“There’s a good chance Carolina may send somebody to spy me”. The quarterback acknowledged his comments while still giving himself some wiggle room. And the biggest sentimental favorite in this game can still win, as evidenced by his two playoff victories this postseason.
“They can have whatever they want”, Manning said to Hubbuch.
“Oh, it sucks”, Gonzalez said. “It’s like a real family, man. I couldn’t fathom it when I got here”.
“What I said was true: This could be it….”
“Every time I put on an attire, every single morning of my life, it’s a must-win attire”, Newton said. That old Peyton is gone. “I think that will start right after the season”.
Denton was given the shot to interview Manning, live on NFL Network, and handled it like he was a 20-year veteran of the business.
Ring-less fingers don’t mean Jim Kelly and Dan Fouts weren’t great quarterbacks.
Another reporter – or make that, person with a credential – asked Manning to look into the camera and wish a Happy Chinese New Year to all his friends in that part of the world.
Newton arrived in the arena wearing a Gatorade Super Bowl towel wrapped around his head.
“It was unbelievable”, Rodgers said of his son’s touchdown pass from the unrelated Aaron Rodgers.
The Panthers – then run by coach Dom Capers, who also served as the team’s de facto general manager – tried to trade for the No. 1 pick held by Indianapolis. Many in America outside of Charlotte would like to see him go out on top Sunday.
“Everybody’s been so game to answer questions”, she said. “He’s played what – 18, 19 years?”
“I know exactly what they are going to find, a big fat nothing because I know the rules”. Luke Kuechly got his usual “Luke”.
“Whatever they have, I welcome it 100 percent”, he said.
Davis turned 32 on Sunday, and although he’s slated to become a free agent, he isn’t ready to retire, not when he says he can still run the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds. “That’s something he’s going to have plenty of time this offseason to think about”.

“It doesn’t have to get in the way now, even though everyone wants to know now”.
