Panthers, Broncos meet reporters at Super Bowl media circus

“When you’ve looked at something all week, when you’ve prepared or went over something with the coaches and for it to come and play out like you went over it…that’s the ultimate answer for why you study so hard”.

It was lost in translation, to say the least. At 39 he will become the oldest quarterback to ever start a Super Bowl on Sunday. This time, it is Cam Newton, who just two days into the media onslaught already seems exhausted with the topic.

Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Cam Newton grows exhausted of race questions on Tuesday, saying he is done talking about black quarterbacks this week.

“I don’t even want to touch on the topic of “black quarterback” because I think this game is bigger than black, white or even green”, the fifth-year Panther said.

“I think that has been pretty consistent throughout my career, but I think you have to be able to adjust based on who you’re playing with, based on the head coach that you’re playing for, the system that you’re in…. I kind of stay in the moment and focus on the task at hand”.

Newton said there was nothing like seeing preparation pay off. “It’s an issue for you”.

He reopened the conversation about race and the sport last week when answering a question about why he is a polarizing figure to some.

No, I haven’t made my mind up, and I don’t see myself knowing that until after the season.

Kuechly said he doesn’t really have a special patron saint or a special prayer he always says before a game.

Arthur Miley, a rookie defensive end who went undrafted out of Southern, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery at the beginning of the season, and the Panthers placed him on injured reserve for the season opener.

Also like LeBron, Newton is incessantly picked apart.

And besides, this is no longer a some cultural milestone.

Peyton Manning shrugged off fresh speculation about his possible retirement as he prepared for what could be his Super Bowl swan song next weekend.

The fifth-year quarterback turned out to be right. We’ll give him plenty of time….

The takeaway from “Media Day”, I mean “Opening Night” – if you’re a member of a Super Bowl team, people want to talk to you.

Still, the Denver Broncos are going to do whatever they can to keep backup Brock Osweiler around, too, and not lose him in free agency.

An investigation, done by Al Jazeera in to the use of performance enhancing drugs in elite level sports, pharmacist Charlie Sly stated that during his time at the Guyer Institute, an anti-aging clinic based in IN, he mailed human growth hormone to Manning’s wife Ashley in order to avoid the star player’s name being attached to the product. “But I guess you’re going to have to get used to it, because I don’t plan on changing”.

Last Wednesday during the bye week, Newton added fuel to the massive national race conversation by providing his explanation for all the heat he’s taken, for all the letters that parents have written to newspapers and websites criticizing his most minor missteps. “It’s really served me well up to this point”.
