Cam Newton, bae QB for the Carolina Panthers, recently (accurately) stated that part of the reason he is so heavily criticized for his celebrations and jovial attitude is the fact that he's black and there's currently no black quarterback of his caliber to compare him to: " His celebrations and success have led to a TON of racist criticism and criticism that is thiny veiled racism. People have called him classless and cocky, depsite the fact that white quarterbacks and players get away with the same things.
In other news, both the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos will pay for all their employees, including interns to go to the game.
In BRONCOS news, Levi's Stadium Field Crews messed up and painted both endzones as Broncos endzones. You can see it in this pic:
In can't-believe-his-luck news, a fan who watched the AFC championship from the stands was signed to the Broncos practice squad the day after the game and will get to go to the Super Bowl! Nick Kasa, who played Tight End for the Colorado Buffaloes and played one year for the Oakland Raiders, will practice with the Broncos because he's the exact size of Carolina tight end Greg Olsen. He will get to attend the Super Bowl but will not play. He wasn't signed to any team this season.
Remaining completely salty after their loss to the Broncos, none of the Patriots selections will attend the pro bowl in Hawaii. Though some are listed as injured, Stephen Gostkowski, who missed an extra point is too sad over the loss to attend. Chandler Jones is probably not attending because of his involvement with police earlier this month and his desire to eschew media scrutiny about it.
