Robinson to Panthers: Don’t do what I did at Super Bowl

When the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers clash this Sunday, several coaches and players will have unique ties to the San Francisco 49ers, the franchise that calls the Super Bowl stadium its home for eight regular-season games every season. By using those two drafts to “establish the core”, the Panthers went 12-4 in 2013 and won the first of three straight NFC South titles. When The Observer’s Joseph Person got wind of the story of the speech on Monday, Robinson confirmed the speech but didn’t want to talk about its particulars. Pete Hoener, Carolina’s current tight ends coach, helped mold Davis into a Pro Bowl player.

It’s not clear how the Panthers-Broncos fan split will pan out Sunday, but its certain Levi’s Stadium won’t have the black-and-blue swarms typical of a Sunday in Charlotte.

“My five seasons have had everything”, Rivera said Wednesday. “Nothing’s pretty much changed since I’ve seen you guys 24 hours ago”. “I was like, ‘How did I get so far over here when I was way over there?” “It’s easy to lose your way when you’re selfish”.

Robinson was arrested the night before Super Bowl XXXIII in January 1999 for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer. Although he played the next day, he gave up an 80-yard touchdown pass from John Elway to Rod Smith in Denver’s 34-19 victory. So I wanted to remind them: Dude, you have to remember why you’re here. So I’ve just been working at that stuff. Not a lot of people know who we are. It was: ‘You’ve got a great opportunity.

Coaches go through the same kind of preparation and routine as the players. “I can be a living example – don’t mess this up”.

These are some of the highlights from Carolina Panthers’ Ron Rivera’s press conference from Wednesday. Airbnb also said it will match the donation.

Oher, who had played with Newton’s brother during an earlier Super Bowl-winning stint with the Baltimore Ravens, revealed that a text message from the Panthers quarterback got his attention. It takes about 600 cows to make one full season’s worth of NFL footballs, but your typical cow has only 1 in 17,420,000 chance of becoming a football that is used in the Super Bowl. Approached then by an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter, Robinson would make only brief references to the incident and added.

Thousands of football fans have descended on the Bay Area for the Super Bowl, but there are only a few who can be considered super fans. “I think they’re cool”.

“I’ve been here and I have a loss”, said Sanders, who has become one of Manning’s go-to guys.

“If a team beats you, that’s different”, Robinson said. “But if you beat yourself that’s criminal”.

The first interception of Rivera’s career came against the Lions and quarterback Eric Hipple in the 1985 season finale.

I think so too.
